Changing the Way We View Problems
Behavioral health disorders often stem from an inability to respond to stress or anxiety in healthy ways. You may feel like you are helpless to change the situation or that things are spiraling out of control faster than you can fix it. Even in situations that are beyond our control, there is always a way to adjust your thinking to avoid spiraling into unhealthy behaviors or reactions.
Behavioral health treatment is focused on changing the way a person responds to stress by helping them recognize their own behaviors and finding new ways to respond. This is not about “fixing” someone or changing who they are, but providing them with the tools they need to live life to the fullest.
