There's an epidemic of unhelpful responses when someone opens up about their struggles. My take: Most well-meaning people inadvertently make things worse because they simply don't know what to say.
When we see loved ones suffering, it triggers distress in us too. Our instinct is to quickly make their pain go away, for our sake as much as theirs. But rushing them through emotions or invalidating their fexelings creates isolation.
I want to look at four common unhelpful responses, and give you some new tools to use. These tools also apply to your self-talk - be your own supportive friend.Get Practical tools for navigating life with depression and anxiety, delivered weekly.https://mailchi.mp/90ccaf44c876/self-hope-psychology

Insecurity is a universal human experience, not a personal failing. Most coping methods actually reinforce insecurities rather than resolving them.
Embracing insecurities as identity reinforces negative thoughts. Denying weaknesses leads to reality harshly exposing them. Overcompensating through impression management is exhausting.
I'll show you how to overcome insecurity through incremental self-improvement. Facing insecurities through gradual exposure therapy diminishes their power.

Psychological testing is not a perfect science by any means - it can have many barriers to entry including cost, access, and availability. But self-diagnosis is not the answer!This episode unpacks the very real concerns with self-diagnosis. Even when struggling to access professional care, firmly holding self-assigned labels carries risks. Proper differential diagnosis matters enormously for effective treatment.I don't disparage investigating to understand oneself better. But view potential self-diagnoses as hypotheses requiring rigorous vetting.

Most think acceptance means settling for misery. That's not true. Acceptance empowers you to change what matters. It acknowledges some pain is unavoidable - but suffering is optional.Life has inherent discomforts we cannot control - that's "pain." Trying to force away that pain often backfires, causing more issues. That's "suffering." Radical acceptance separates the two categories.This video teaches evaluating life's pains objectively. Some are changeable with effort. Others aren't worth the cost of change. Radical acceptance means tolerating unchangeables, focusing energy on high-impact areas instead of fruitless struggles.

Emotions are not light switches. You cannot simply turn them on or off just because you (or somebody) would like to.
Being told (or telling others) to calm down, cheer up, or get over it is dismissive and unhelpful. There is no direct mechanism for selecting your emotions.
The biggest problem is that this type of command is outcome based - become x new emotion now. But without a process for changing your emotions you may do more harm to your current emotional state.

Not all negative thoughts are bad. But constantly thinking about negative things can lead to a downward cycle psychology calls rumination.Rumination is when we have certain thoughts, memories, or ideas, that get stuck in our brain. And trying to relax, unwind, or think about something else can simply make the thought more ingrained.There's a reason for this, and it's the reason why doing nothing is actually dangerous for rumination.Get Practical tools for navigating life with depression and anxiety, delivered weekly.https://mailchi.mp/90ccaf44c876/self-hope-psychologyMy book: For When Everything is Burninghttps://bit.ly/forwheneverythingisburning Organize your day around your mental health goals with Sunsamahttps://bit.ly/DrScottSunsama (affiliate link)The app I use to learn core principles from thousands of nonfiction books in minuteshttp://shortform.com/drscott (affiliate link)Connect with me on TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@dr.scott.eilersTherapy with me (Iowa residents only)http://www.northstarpsychcenter.com/Work with me (Non-Iowa residents)http://www.drscotteilers.com
