Temporary, urgent collaboration is what management theory and workplace psychology call a "swarm". In the popular show, "The Pitt", we see the hospital team constantly becoming the perfect swarm in order to help people while in the busy, occasionally frantic, emergency department! 🏥

Swarms can occur in other place settings as well, such as crews that create films and teammates during a sports game!

The popular medical thriller, The Pitt, shows how teamwork manages crisis.

Happy June 1st, everyone!☀️ It's a new month, so let's take a moment to pause and check in with ourselves. 😌

✨Ask yourself: How am I really feeling right now? What do I need more of this month? What can I let go of? What's one thing I'm proud of from May?

Remember, progress doesn't have to be loud...taking care of yourself is enough!! 🙌🏻

Kali’s go-to coping method: journaling! 📝
When thoughts get too loud, just let your hand write! No rules, no pressure, no perfect grammar, it’s just a space to get everything out of your head.

Lately, Kali has been starting each entry like a little chapter, adding a bit of whimsy to it all, because honestly it makes it kind of fun! Besides, life is a story, right? 📖

"As an analogy, we don’t wait for wounds to become infected before treating them; as soon as we realize we’re bleeding, we wash the cut and care for it. We ought to do the same for our relationships. When you see a relational wound, treat it right away. It’s a lot easier than surgery." 🤍

Some differences, conflicts, or behaviors can end a relationship—and some should. But when couples aren’t sure of their next move, a skilled therapist can help them find a path to staying together—or to moving apart with respect and care.

This week, John is bringing a little Vulcan wisdom to our coping series! 🖖🏻 His method is all about rational thinking, telling himself the truth, letting go of irrational thoughts, and not trying to solve problems that don't even exist yet. Because sometimes the most powerful coping skill is simply thinking clearly! 🧠✨

Lori's favorite coping activity? Building Legos! 🧱 It helps her practice mindfulness, redirect focus on the instructions, and find a sense of calm and peace.
