Wednesday can feel like the toughest day of the week to get through. It's the no-man's land of the work week: the days since Monday have been dragging, and Friday still seems so far away. It's easy to feel drained and depleted.

The constant demands of work, family, and daily life can be exhausting on a mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical level. All of us are subject to the mid-week burnout sometimes. Luckily, we've come across plenty of tips we'd like to share to help you recharge and get through those Wednesdays feeling energized.

With news reports of terrorism, wars, sexual violence, and natural disasters, it’s no wonder “trauma” is a word that’s become more prevalent in recent years. We hear of soldiers coming home from overseas with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD,) or survivors of an earthquake suffering from post-traumatic symptoms.

Has all that snowy weather gotten you down? This winter has been a snowy one all over the country, but particularly on the East Coast. Here in Nassau County, where Nassau Guidance and Counseling is located, we received 34 inches of snow in January alone. It’s enough to make anyone want pull the covers over their head and go back to bed.

Winter is especially hard for those suffering from a certain kind of depression known as Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD,) sometimes known as the “winter blues.”

More Client Testimonials

"I am writing to say "Thank You" for helping me overcome my anger issues. I always thought I could overcome any obstacle that came my way, but when it came to my anger I thought I was defeated. As you know, I have struggled my entire adult life with this issue and had been in therapy for many years without seeing much success. By the time I came to see you I think I was totally out of control. Kathleen through you and your wisdom I have successfully conquered my issues with anger! I can't thank you enough for helping me! Through your guidance, expertise and support, you enabled me to heal from the inside so that I could get rid of the anger and hurt that caused me to go into full blown rages. I would recommend Nassau Guidance to anyone that is seeking counseling. After a few sessions with you I realized what a "really good therapist" is supposed to be like. That's you! Thank you Kathleen for giving me my life back! Sincerely."
