The last 2 levers, Community and Concepts, are interconnected, and we tackle these two the most in therapy. Your relationships, particularly the one with your therapist, play a crucial role in the concepts (cognitive representations ) you form, both of yourself and the people around you. #Community #Concepts #5LeversofMentalHealth #ThePredictiveBrain #BrainScience #21stCenturyBrainScience #21stCenturyEmotionScience #TheoryOfConstructedEmotion #TheTheoryOfConstructedEmotion #LeahBensonTherapy #LeahBensonConsulting #TheFeelGoodFormula #EmotionalUtopia #TheBeginnersGuideToKetamineTherapyForMentalHealth

Movement includes everything from working out and breathing (correctly) to the expressive exercises of bioenergetics. One thing's for sure—an active lifestyle will support your mental health way more than a sedentary one. How will you make some time for movement this weekend? #DeepBreathing #MovementisMedicine #Movement #5LeversofMentalHealth #ThePredictiveBrain #BrainScience #21stCenturyBrainScience #21stCenturyEmotionScience #TheoryOfConstructedEmotion #TheTheoryOfConstructedEmotion #LeahBensonTherapy #LeahBensonConsulting #TheFeelGoodFormula #EmotionalUtopia #TheBeginnersGuideToKetamineTherapyForMentalHealth

Sleep can be anything that puts your body in a restorative state, including meditating and aligning your circadian rhythm with your natural environment. Bad habits to avoid for this lever include exposing yourself to blue light after sunset and an irregular (or inadequate) sleep schedule. How's your sleep been lately? 😴 💤 #MentalHealthNutrition #BrainFood #NutritionForMentalHealth #MindBodyPlate #WellnessThroughFood #ThePredictiveBrain #BrainScience #21stCenturyBrainScience #21stCenturyEmotionScience #TheoryOfConstructedEmotion #TheTheoryOfConstructedEmotion #LeahBensonTherapy #LeahBensonConsulting #TheFeelGoodFormula #EmotionalUtopia #TheBeginnersGuideToKetamineTherapyForMentalHealth

Whether it be supplements, water, lotions, oxygen, and sunshine...or allergens, noxious chemicals and poisons...everything you put into or onto your body can tip your mental health scale, positively or negatively. #MentalHealthNutrition #BrainFood #NutritionForMentalHealth #MindBodyPlate #WellnessThroughFood #ThePredictiveBrain #BrainScience #21stCenturyBrainScience #21stCenturyEmotionScience #TheoryOfConstructedEmotion #TheTheoryOfConstructedEmotion #LeahBensonTherapy #LeahBensonConsulting #TheFeelGoodFormula #EmotionalUtopia #TheBeginnersGuideToKetamineTherapyForMentalHealth
