How to Deal with Change | Kati Morton

1. Acknowledge that change is part of life. I know, this isn’t necessarily that helpful, but I think it’s important that we try to recognize and accept that change is always happening. Some of it we have control over, but most of it we don’t. 2. Let ourselves feel the loss, upset, anger, sadness, whatever it is you may be feeling.

Is My Relationship Affected by Lack of Sleep?

This series is an educational project sponsored by Google. Sleep is the only time our brain gets a chance to clean itself and file away any memories made that day. The amount of fluid in our brain increases by over 60% and helps our brain clean any waste that may be sitting in it and it even uses this time to support learning and memory as well as regulate mood. Not to mention that because sleep is so calm with its slow deep breaths, and relaxed muscles, taking the time to let our body rest for many hours a night is beneficial. I chatted with Shane & Ryland about their sleep habits and how they manage them within their relationship. Hopefully some of the tips I offer them are helpful to you as well. xox Order My Book Today!

What are Psychogenic Movement Disorders?

They believe that psychogenic movements can occur as a result of conversion disorder, or they could develop as part of somatoform disorders. These are mental illnesses that cause us a lot of pain, and discomfort but there is no medical or neurological issue that can explain why they feel what they feel. Also, know that people who struggle with these are not making their symptoms up or causing it themselves, it’s just a mental illness that shows itself primarily through physical symptoms. They also say these movements could be developed through us having factitious disorder, which is when we act like we have a mental or physical disorder when we really do not. We do this so that we can get attention and/or sympathy. And finally they have linked these movements to malingering (which is...

How Do You Make Friends if You Have Social Anxiety?

Hey everybody! Happy Thursday, now today’s question is all about making friends when we have social anxiety. But before we jump into that, are you new to my channel? Welcome! I am a licensed therapist creating educational mental health videos, and I release them on Mondays and on Thursdays, so make sure you are subscribed and have your notifications turned on so that you don’t miss out. This week’s question is: Hey Kati, how does someone make friends when they are over 30 and have social anxiety? I always hear of advice about joining groups or clubs, but that just feels impossible to me. But I do want to socialize more and make friends, help! I thought this was a great question, and although I have talked about how we can make friends as an adult, I haven’t addressed the very...
