*Atlas of the Heart*

Number one New York Times best seller In her latest book, Brené Brown writes, “If we want to find the way back to ourselves and one another, we need language and the grounded confidence to both tell our stories and to be stewards of the stories that we hear.

Relax. Your Mind and Body Will Thank You.

We often think of stress as a negative experience that is caused by significant events. Most would agree that life-altering events such as divorce, bankruptcy, unemployment, moving, illness, loss of a loved one, and job changes are all triggers for stress. Luckily, while these major changes are stressful, they are rare.

But there are stressors that happen much more regularly. Any day can include traffic jams, arguments with family members, living with clutter, job stress and financial worries. No wonder so many of us feel as if we have too much to do and too little time. Because these occur more frequently, it is these smaller things that often end up affecting us the most.

HPA can help you understand and manage the stressors in your life that are both rare and regular - reach out to us at 231-726-2299

The World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development, sometimes abbreviated World Day for Cultural Diversity, is a United Nations sanctioned observance day for the promotion of diversity and intercultural dialogue.

Development urges everyone to do their part to bridge the gap between cultures.

According to the UN, bridging this gap is essential for peace, development, and stability. When we deepen our understanding of the values of cultural diversity we can achieve these four goals:
- Support sustainable systems for the governance of culture.
- Achieve a balanced flow of cultural goods and services.
- Integrate culture into the frameworks of sustainable development.
- Promote human rights and fundamental freedoms.

Trauma is an emotional response to a distressing event that overwhelms an individual's ability to cope, generally classified into three main types based on duration and frequency:

Acute (single event)
Chronic (prolonged exposure)
Complex (multiple, often interpersonal, events)

It can stem from violence, abuse, disasters, or neglect, leading to lasting physical, emotional, and social consequences.

A licensed professional, such as those at Harbor Psychological Associates, can offer you or a loved one support to navigate treatment options, therapy, and managing symptoms - give us a call at 231-726-2299
