If you’re like me, someone who already struggles with patience, that feature is a blessing. However, in many cases, it is also a curse. While it satisfies our immediate need for gratification, it undermines our attention span and ability to focus, making even the most standard task feel unbearably slow.  Social Media’s Impact on Attention Spans Children are getting online as early as 8-years-old, despite most social media platforms (Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok) having a recommended […]

However, for students, it is a time to return to stress and can be filled with schedules that are hard to keep up with and many more expectations and responsibilities that are hard to juggle. Although there are many advantages to the school year, such as the consistency and regularity of what day-to-day life looks like, students may experience an increase in anxiety and depressive symptoms.

- [Is Therapy Worth it?](https://restorativepsychservices.com/is-therapy-worth-it/): “I am really struggling, and I am not sure what to do.” “I have heard that therapy could help, but is it worth it?” These are very common thoughts to have when you start to consider if therapy would be helpful for you. It is normal to feel skeptical about the effectiveness of seeing a therapist considering the emotional and financial investment that it takes. However, the need for mental health support is very common. Approximately 1 in 5 adults and 1 in 6 children have a diagnosed mental health condition (National Institute of Mental Health, 2022). Subsequently, the desire […]

- [The Benefits of Self-Care](https://restorativepsychservices.com/the-benefits-of-self-care/): “I don’t have enough time to do things for me.” “I was going to do this, but I’ll do it another day.” “I’m tired and sad. I don’t feel up to this.” If you have had any of these thoughts, then you may struggle with self-care. Many people struggle to prioritize themselves and plan out activities to take care of themselves. It is normal to feel overwhelmed and stressed with school, work, and/or family.

The weather is warmer, people typically spend more time outside, and families tend to book vacations during this time. For children, this means an end to school and a much needed break from expectations and responsibilities; and for adults, this can mean summer schedules and reduced or slower workflows. Although summer may be a time of relaxation, it also brings stress for many people as summer is also a time of transition. For families, this transition is associated with changes in their day-to-day routines; children no longer […]
