"I'm Busy, Exhausted, and Stuck with a Long List. How Do I NOT Feel Like a Failure?" -- ARISE Member Training with Mike Christensen [Episode 219]

We had one of the best ARISE conversations a few months ago with my personal coach and cognitive behavioral therapist, Mike Christensen. I have researched and personally experienced the power of the "TEAM-CBT" methods for 7+ years, and I'd say this is the #1 resource that I turn to whenever I'm feeling anxious, discouraged, angry, etc. It is incredibly practical, and I've used these methods to help my family and friends, as well. If you are looking to gain new tools for managing anxiety, discour...

"Instant" or "Gradual" Progress Out of the Overwhelm? [Episode 203]

Growing and learning is a privilege. If you look back 5 years, or even 1 year, you can see at least one area where you've transformed. Yes, the progress doesn't always happen as quickly as we'd like, but in my opinion, if we know we're on to something, and if we feel good as we keep moving forward, it's worth the ups and downs and all the energy that is required.
