“In every endeavor of healing and grace, Self is the final frontier” ~ @elizabeth_gilbert_writer • What do you need most today...kindness? Tenderness? Space? Understanding? • Remember that song from childhood about the lucky penny?... “love is something if you give it away...you end up having more”...that wisdom actually applies here, too. • Today I challenge you to offer up and away that thing you need most- to strangers, to family, to hard-to-love curmudgeons, and see if it doesn’t come back to you, amplified. . . . photo credit @theclass

Psychologists and psychiatrists both deal with helping people get to a better mental and emotional state. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Psychologists focus on diagnosing psychological disorders as well as treating patients with psychotherapy and behavioral interventions. They are required to have either a Doctorate of Psychology (PsyD) or a PhD in Physology, or sometimes an Doctor of Education (EdD). They also go through 1-2 years of supervised clinical practice before taking a state liscensure exam. They cannot prescribe medications to their clients. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Psychiatrists are medical doctors with a D.O. or M.D. They go through an additional 3-4 year residency after medical school that specializes in psychiatry. Like psychologists, psychiatrists are liscensed by states to practice psychotherapy. However, unlike psychologists, they are able to prescribe medication for mental disorders, which is their main focus of practice. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Psychologists and psychiatrists often work together to provide a combined treatment of behavior and drug therapy to give their clients the best care.

How freakin cute is this #zonesofregulation display?! Love minion-themed ideas & the program! ✨ I’ve seen this work amazing at schools when it’s so integrated in the class that the language is automatic and used in class activities! It’s important to discuss emotions & self reflect from a young age • This program helps kids regulate their emotions & actions using a Cognitive Behaviour approach to describe their level of alertness. It teaches skills e.g., calming techniques, cognitive strategies & a toolbox of methods to use in zones • • ❤️ RED ZONE: Heightened alertness & intense emotions where child has lost control & unable to rationalise e.g., anger & explosive behaviour. YELLOW ZONE: Heightened alertness but more control e.g., stress, nervous, anxiety, frustration. GREEN ZONE: Calm alertness where kids are ready to learn & have appropriate interactions with others e.g., happy & content. BLUE ZONE: Low alertness & down feelings e.g., sad, tired, bored or sick. • What zone are you in?!note: pic not taken by me • #pedsot #pediatricot #therapylife #schoolbasedot #schoolbasedslp #iteachsped #specialeducation #occupationaltherapy #occupationaltherapystudent #pediatricoccupationaltherapy #emotionalintelligence
