Aftermath of Tragedy: 4 Ways to De-stress and Heal

Honoring the fallen: Coping with grief and stress | WFAA.com www.wfaa.com/news/health/honoring-the…and…/273105340 Dr. Trevicia Williams Talks Ways to De-stress After Tragedy As a human behavior expert with a doctorate in psychology, I look at life events and experiences through the lens of multiple disciplines, including psychology. That’s why I stopped by ABC’s WFAA News 8 to discuss the psychological effect of grief and stress after a tragedy like the ambush on Dallas police department officers during the peaceful protest July 7. Our brains are much more sensitive to negative information than positive news. The reasoning and emotional areas of the brain must have balance to function properly. When the emotional part of the brain is overly excited, people lose control of their ability to respond sensibly. That’s why it’s important to pause, listen, seek information from all perspectives of issues and think before speaking. My work focuses on inspiration, motivation, and personal development through full potential living coaching wherein I help people define their purpose, vision, personal growth and plans of action as well as professional development through speaking, seminars, workshops and training. Seek help from a licensed mental health professional if you are in emotional distress since coaching is not counseling nor therapy. “The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) is the agency within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services that leads public health efforts to advance the behavioral health of the nation.  SAMHSA provides a list of warning signs and risk factors for emotional distress related to incidents of mass violence and other disasters. SAMHSA also has a number of resources if you or someone you know needs help in working through emotional...

The Realities of Disney Inside Out

Have you seen Inside Out yet? As a relationship life coach, I compared Disney’s Inside Out movie with my own Real Beauty Inside Out Healthy Mother Daughter Relationships seminars and coaching and found the commonality of having an inside out approach to relationships. So, here is an overview of the movie and a few tips to get through the complexities of mothers daughter relationships as well as father daughter relationships. Disney Inside Out (Pixar) leaps from the complexities of mother daughter relationships in previous movies like Cinderella and Brave and takes into account changes a father found in his own preteen little girl. For some, that is the age when adolescence begins to blur away, and kids frequently get to be touchy, darker, and they begin to disguise a significant amount of those emotions. Inside Out is an investigation of that turbulent time, and happens totally inside of the psyche of a 11 year old tween girl named Riley. The film concentrates on the main impetuses inside Riley’s head. These are fundamental feelings that drive Riley’s thought life and emotions. Simultaneously, they aide her development. They include Fear (Bill Hader), Sadness (The Office’s Phyllis Smith), Joy (Amy Poehler), Disgust (Mindy Kaling) and Anger (Lewis Black). What’s interesting is how the subconscious area of the Riley’s mind is played out through imagination, dreams, thoughts and abstract thinking. What a way for kids to be introduced to the power of the mind. In that context, the movie is very spiritual as well. So, moms, parents and guardians be aware and prepared to help your daughter or son understand the realities of the...

Dealing with Difficult People

Dealing with Difficult People Chances are high that you have met someone who just always got under your skin. You are not always going to like the people that are in your daily life. Whether it is someone you live with, or someone you work with, you need to know how to handle people that seem to live to make your life difficult. Here are 10 tips you can utilize when you are dealing with difficult people. 1. Accept, change, or reject. You only have three choices when it comes with working with difficult people. You can accept the situation. This means you know it will never change but it is what it is. You can attempt to change how you perceive the person that seems to be giving you so much difficulty. Perhaps, they are only annoying you because you do not understand them. You can reject the situation. If the situation with the person is really that difficult it is time to move on. Find a different way to work around that person without having a negative impact on your well-being. 2. Don’t lose emotional control. Some people live to antagonize others. They want to see how far they can go until you lose control. It is important that you remain calm and do not show them your annoyance. Eventually, they will give up and move on to a new target. 3. Think before you speak. You cannot take back words once you have already spoken them. When you say hurtful things, the feelings will linger with that person. It is best to continue to be kind...
