Trauma

If you or a loved on suffers from chronic pain, therapy may be a impactful resource for you to explore. In this video, <a href="https://client.tryframe.com/therapists/331" target="_blank">Frame therapist Valerie Sadon </a>starts by breaking down the different sources of <ins>pain</ins>: pain caused by body-based injury or disease, and brain-generate pain. This important distinction highlights how therapy can benefit you in the mangement and reprocessing of that pain.

Tools for Processing a Traumatic Loss

OCD, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, is characterized by unwanted, intrusive thoughts (obsessions) coupled with mental or physical rituals or acts (compulsions) aimed to reduce the anxiety of those obsessions.&nbsp;&nbsp;
In truth, OCD is one of the more trivialized mental illnesses often tossed out as an adjective for Type A, perfectionist personalities. In this video Frame Therapist, Dr. Smita Kapoor breaks down that myth and answers questions about what OCD can look like, how it develops, and how we can support those who are diagnosed.

Understanding OCD

Our identities are formed in early childhood and become our way of labeling ourselves in order to fit into or navigate through a system.&nbsp;&nbsp;
But how are they formed? Do we have a say? How do we embrace change and reactions when we choose to differentiate ourselves from how we were raised?&nbsp;
<a href="https://client.tryframe.com/therapists/150" target="_blank">Frame therapist Nick Berry</a>, digs deep into these questions.

A Deep Dive on "Identity"

Unbeknownst to us, our minds and bodies sometimes separate as a form of self-protection when we’re exposed to an overwhelming threat or traumatic experience. This can happen in both our childhood and adult states and it is possible to become stuck in this divided-self. How then can we move through the healing process to reintegrate the mind and the body?  In this video, therapist and Frame Co-Founder <a href="https://client.tryframe.com/therapists/632" target="_blank">Sage Grazer</a> is joined by the founders of <a href="https://www.gracieuniversity.com/Pages/Public/Information?enc=FMtOnZSK59l%2BIJqsLOgYQQ%3D%3D" target="_blank">Women Empowered </a> Self Defense, Eve Gracie &amp; Victoria Gracie, for a fascinating discussion on the power of integrated healing and how you can begin to adopt this kind of healing in your own life.&nbsp;
