Asking for help is often considered the first step toward recovery and healing, but how do we know when consumption - our own or another's - has become problematic? Especially during the holidays, how do we approach the season mindfully? With a wealth of personal recovery experience and professional expertise, SilverBell Global UAE Recovery Specialist Dana Ariss discussed this question and more on Helen Farmer's Dubai Eye podcast, Afternoons With Helen Farmer, with fellow guest Mark Samways of The Free Spirit Collective. In addition to her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Master of Arts in School Counseling, Dana is on her way to becoming a certified Chief Wellness Officer. Dana knows the impact of kindness, curiosity, and compassion - toward others and ourselves. Dana encourages gentle conversation in calm, neutral environments ~ focusing on awareness first and solution second. This festive season, rather than swinging between extremes of restriction and excess, we can savor moments of joy while staying connected. Dana reminds us that the truest celebration lies in being present - with ourselves and those we love.
Asking for help sometimes is the hardest step ✌️
Love this
