"The greatest weapon against stress is our ability to choose one thought over another."

-William James

Hi, I am Clint

I think that tension and stress are the result of inner conflict within the mind that was created in a situation of extreme emotional hardship. Change can be achieved if you want to resolve these issues and therapy is an important step in discovering the world around you and finding your place in it.

Depression or anxiety?

By Clint McKnight • April 22, 2022
A concerning issue I am seeing in society right now is the blending of anxiety and depression. The past couple of years have been pretty traumatic for a lot of people and even if it wasn't it most likely still represented a time of change. Anxiety ramped up and self-care and mental health wellness seemed to drop to new lows. In this type of situation many people don't even know how to describe what they are going through - they feel that something is off or want to make a change in their life but can't describe or even pinpoint where to start. They have laid a foundation of anxiety and lived with it for so long that the anxiety has led to walls of depression going up around them. Anxiety that goes unresolved seems to follow the pattern a lot - first the intrusive thoughts pop up and won't go away, perhaps physical symptoms or panic attacks follow, then people begin to have anxiety about their anxiety. That is almost always when depression sets in at the moment when you start to worry about the anxiety that is going on in your life. Taking steps to manage anxiety and improve your self care are as important as ever and perhaps even more so now.

Anxiety

By Clint McKnight • April 22, 2022
One of the most problematic issues for people right now is anxiety that seemingly comes out of nowhere. Anxiety almost always has roots and sources in a person's past or as a part of trauma that a person has experienced but when triggered it the brain doesn't recognized or analyze a logical response it simply seeks to protect and anxiety can surface and impact daily life to the point that tension and stress become the norm instead of a temporary. fleeting moment. So what does one do with the issue? How do you discover the root cause and not just address the symptom? The answer is almost always two-fold, you need to address the symptoms and manage it in the here and now and work in a safe space and slowly peel back the layers to find the source. You cannot find the root without having the tools to manage the current symptoms or you will quickly become overwhelmed and perhaps end up right where you started or even in a worse situation. Working on this is concurrent - learn the tools to manage the symptoms day to day and work with a qualified individual to explore causes and triggers. Be open and honest and don't let shame or guilt hold you back from improving your daily life.

While not intended to be a theological guide, it should help spark conversation around God view and how to connect spiritually with a creator who gave us life and gave his Son's life for us.
