One negative inner voice that drives #depression is all or nothing thinking, where we rigidly view everything as one of two extremes - good/bad, smart/dumb, pretty/ugly, etc. Do you deal with this? #Oakland #Sacramento #OaklandCA #EastBay #BayArea #MentalHealth #MHM

A root cause of #depression can be difficult life circumstances. From temporary #stress all the way to full-blown trauma and abuse, prolonged or severe difficulty can absolutely cause us to feel depressed. #Oakland #Sacramento #OaklandCA #EastBay #BayArea #MentalHealth #MHM

A root cause of #depression is #shame, that felt need to hide yourself or what you've done to avoid rejection or judgment. Shame can be crippling. How has shame affected you? #Oakland #Sacramento #OaklandCA #EastBay #BayArea #MentalHealth #MentalHealthAwareness #Depression #MHM

A root cause of #depression is #guilt. Many of us feel a discrepancy between what we do and what we value, which can be very discouraging. Do you struggle with guilt at times? #Oakland #Sacramento #OaklandCA #EastBay #BayArea #MentalHealth #MentalHealthAwareness #Depression #MHM

#Mindfulness is working towards being effective. Not being right, or being justified, but being effective. Be mindful of your goals in your situation, relationship, or conversation. #Oakland #Sacramento #OaklandCA #EastBay #BayArea #MentalHealth #MentalHealthAwareness #Depression

Our lives are plagued with judgment from outside and within. By changing your focus to your goals rather than assessing your "goodness" or "badness," you set yourself free. That is practicing #mindfulness. #Oakland #Sacramento #OaklandCA #EastBay #BayArea #MentalHealth #MHM

A part of practicing #mindfulness is to fully engage with what you're doing. Make that mean cup of #coffee. Work the heck out of that #selfie. #LeanIn to that conversation. Just do what you're doing! #Oakland #Sacramento #OaklandCA #EastBay #BayArea #MentalHealth #MHM #recovery

A part of practicing #mindfulness is to describe what you experience. What are you thinking? What emotions do you feel? What are you doing? Just noting these things keeps you in the moment. #Oakland #Sacramento #OaklandCA #EastBay #BayArea #MentalHealth #MentalHealthAwareness

Some people ask, "what happens when you go to therapy?" What say you? What are some of your experiences?

Crap. I accidentally pulled up Instagram instead of Instacart. Now it’s 2 hours later and I have no groceries for Sunday prep but I know where Rihanna bought her hoop earrings and I have 20 cute pumpkin pics saved.


It can feel like a war between rational and emotion mind, but the goal is to have a healthy balance of both. Listen to your wise mind. #mindfulness #meditation #yoga #love #wellness #oakland #oaklandca #bayarea #california #selflove #selfcare #mentalhealth #sacramento #eastbay

We often feel a tendency to judge ourselves when we don't like what we do. Let's cut ourselves some slack, step back, and try to look objectively at went wrong. #depression #anxiety #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #oakland #oaklandca #bayarea #california #eastbay #recovery

It's only so effective for us to practice lessons in one place, like in session, or one relationship. You get the most benefit applying it everywhere. #depression #anxiety #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #oakland #oaklandca #bayarea #california

A hard thing to accept is that even when we don't cause our own problems, we are often left to solve them anyway. Let's try to embrace this and accept it. This can lead to reduced suffering. #depression #anxiety #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #oakland #oaklandCA #bayarea

We all need to do better and be motivated to change. This isn't because we're deficient, but because this is a basic human need. You can make your life the best it can be with continual improvement. #depression #anxiety #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #oakland #oaklandCA
