Jason’s Mental Health Tips
Splitting is the inability to see circumstances, relationships and situations as having both good and bad qualities. This polarized view of looking at the world can take a toll - when in reality, the good and the bad can, and often do, exist together.

'You should do this...'.
The language we use communicates our perspective. While offering advice can provide the appearance of being helpful, it can also be subtly undermining an individual's ability to make decisions that they must ultimately live with.
Do you often tell people what they should do without them asking for it? What does your choice of language ultimately communicate to those around you?
Join us in this Vlog as Jason outlines the importance of listening! In order to be a good communicator and an effective supporter of those around us, we must not neglect the power of listening. It is often in the listening that people feel validated and seen. When we find ourselves always responding to concerns with phrases such as; "it's not that bad", and "I've been there", we risk making those around us feel invalidated in their experience.
Sometimes dealing with people can be tricky - draining feeling even! If you take to heart everything that people say, this can definitely be the case. This month's vlog give us insight in how to interact with others and protect ourselves, especially when we are sensitive. The key? Catch and evaluate! We need to guard our hearts and not take in everything so as to not become overwhelmed or burdened by things that aren't true.
