9. Congruence as self-care: Practicing what we preach
Counselor Magazine
The subject of self-care for counselors is one that receives plenty of attention in the literature, as well as during conversations in the classroom, staff rooms, supervision, and the dialogues inside our heads. It has been evident since the earliest days of our profession that counselors and therapists must be clear-headed, as well as relatively free of distractions and pressing personal issues, in order to do our best work. And yet, in spite of all the attention on this subject, self-care remains one of the most critical and pressing issues. Even among so-called experts on the subject, there is a certain amount of hypocrisy and failure to practice what is preached.

8. Teaching emotional resilience
Counselor Magazine
If addicts and alcoholics use chemicals to avoid uncomfortable emotions, teaching them to feel and tolerate such emotions should be seen as primary in chemical dependence (CD) treatment. With this article, I hope to prompt increased focus on this objective and suggest a model by which it can be accomplished in the treatment milieu.

6. How to deal with social anxiety at work
Mic
Melissa Pandika writes: As someone who's struggled with social anxiety, I used to dread meetings. Questions and comments would swirl in my head, but I'd dismiss them as stupid and end up not saying anything at all. On the rare occasions I did speak up, I was positive everyone noticed my voice quavering, which, of course, only worsened my anxiety.

5. Eating disorders: Separating the patient from the disease
Counselor Magazine
Substance abuse is something most therapists are familiar with and feel comfortable addressing with their clients. I have been giving the information in this article to hundreds of substance abuse therapists, and the common response is, ìI had no idea.î The comorbidity of substance abuse and eating disorders is common.

4. Recovery counseling: A new paradigm for alcohol and drug counselors
Counselor Magazine
Recovery counseling is based on a new paradigm for alcohol and drug counseling. Before I explain this new concept, let’s discuss the model that has dominated the field for over eighty years. The paradigm that has dominated the field views people suffering from alcoholism and other drug addictions as one self. This model is based on the notion that people who are alcoholics or addicts have been infected by some biological disease-causing process. A version of this idea is voiced in the book of Alcoholics Anonymous where Dr. Silkworth describes alcoholism as “an allergy of the body coupled by an obsession in the mind” (1970).

3. Dissolving fear: Changing the way we engage and treat wounded family systems
Counselor Magazine
“The world we see that seems so insane is the result of a belief system that is not working. To perceive the world differently, we must be willing to change our belief system, let the past slip away, expand our sense of now, and dissolve the fear in our minds.” — William James (1842–1910). The quote from William James, though written more than one hundred years ago, rings with truth about life in family systems plagued with legacies of addiction, mental illness, suicide, and relational or interpersonal trauma.

2. Why anxiety can be worse in the morning
Cosmopolitan
Anxiety can occur at any time of day. When it does, it can be the actual worst, but for some, anxiety has a particular habit of rearing its ugly head in the mornings.
At the start of a new day, it's easy for the mind to ruminate on what's ahead and become overwhelmed with negative thoughts about what you need to achieve that day.

1. Online happiness exercises for people in recovery
Counselor Magazine
Substance use presents a significant public health concern given the high degree of subsequent negative consequences that accompany substance use disorders (SUDs). Recent calls have gone out for substance use treatment providers to move their focus beyond reducing or eliminating symptoms, and instead shift their attention to increasing positive experiences and well-being (McKay, 2017).
