Supporting Mental Health with Human Givens Clinic
Emotional well-being depends on the balanced fulfillment of innate psychological needs. When these needs, such as security, autonomy, connection, and meaning, are disrupted, mental distress follows. Grounded in neuroscience and psychology, Human Givens Clinic provides solution-focused support to help restore emotional balance, activate innate resources, and improve overall resilience.
MENTAL HEALTH
Addiction
Addiction is a chronic disease that affects the brain's reward system, leading to compulsive behaviors despite harmful consequences. It can involve substances like drugs or alcohol, or behaviors like gambling or shopping.
Anxiety and Panic Attacks
Anxiety is a natural human response to stress. It's a feeling of worry, nervousness, or unease, typically about an event or something with an uncertain outcome. However, when anxiety becomes excessive, persistent, and interferes with daily life, it may be classified as an anxiety disorder.
Depression
Depression is a common but serious mental health condition that affects millions worldwide. It's more than just feeling down for a few days; it's a persistent sadness and loss of interest in activities you once enjoyed. Depression can impact your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, leading to a variety of physical and emotional problems.
OCD
Obsessions are recurring, unwanted thoughts, images, or urges that cause significant anxiety or distress. People with OCD often recognize that these obsessions are irrational, but they struggle to control or ignore them.
Schizophrenia & Psychosis
Psychosis is a symptom, not an illness in itself. It's a mental state where a person has difficulty distinguishing between what is real and what is not. Psychosis can occur in various mental health conditions, including schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and severe depression.
Sleeping and Dreaming
Sleep is absolutely essential for both our physical and mental well-being. It's not just about feeling rested; it's a fundamental process that allows our bodies and minds to repair, restore, and function optimally. During sleep, our bodies work to repair tissues, grow muscle, and strengthen the immune system. It's also a crucial time for hormone regulation, affecting everything from growth and appetite to stress response.
Trauma and PTSD
Trauma is the emotional response to a deeply distressing or life-threatening event. It can stem from a single occurrence like an accident or assault, or from ongoing experiences such as abuse or war. Trauma overwhelms a person's ability to cope, often leading to feelings of helplessness, fear, and emotional numbness. It can have lasting negative impacts on mental, emotional, and physical well-being.
