We set goals every day. How many of them are successful? It is vital to ensure that our clients will succeed when helping them learn how to create change goals. Failure to create effective goals will only compound their feelings of hopelessness and helplessness. There is a lot to setting successful goals from choosing the right goals to identifying and maintaining motivation. Dr. Snipes provides a brief introduction here. Learn more about your ad choices.

People need other people. Fear of abandonment is a survival response that is present from birth. In childhood, abandonment can be a life or death situation. Adults with fear of abandonment often have not identified the roots of their fears so that they can better understand and choose helpful reactions as adults, for whom abandonment is unpleasant, but often not a life or death situation. This podcast explores the roots of abandonment and proposes some techniques to help clients challenge those long held beliefs. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The adrenals are responsible for the fight or flight reaction and making sex hormones (libido). When the adrenals become fatigued, the body responds with apathy, exhaustion and "sputters" of unexplained adrenaline. Adrenal fatigue symptoms largely overlap with depression and anxiety making it hard to diagnose. In this presentation, Dr. Snipes encourages clinicians to educate clients about adrenal fatigue and the importance of taking care of the body in addition to the mind in the recovery process.
