By: Shelby Bubnick & Savannah Tipton  Focusing on the positives in life can be difficult after experiencing trauma. An excellent way to lift your spirits is to write down everything you are grateful for. You can do this weekly or daily, whatever works for you and your schedule. Keeping a gratitude journal can improve your mood, make you more resilient, and can even help you live longer. It’s simple! Start your gratitude journal with five things you are grateful for. Repeat this activity at least once a week.
TIPS
By Andrea Jenkins, MSW, LCSW Beacon of Hope Crisis Center offers in-house counseling services which removes many barriers for our clients including access to services, inability to pay for services, and incapability to self-advocate for needs. Our team can meet the needs of the women, men and families who contact us for services with competency and grace. During this challenging time, many of our clients are ready to receive support from a counselor to resolve presenting problems, experience personal growth, address problematic behaviors, and identify goals with potential solutions. Counseling is a vital component to healing after being in an abusive relationship. It gives the person an opportunity to tell their emotionally filled story in a safe, non-judgmental place. For most, this is the first time they have been able to tell their story in its entirety including the role they played in the relationship. This courageous act is where internal healing begins. Coming to counseling for some is the first thing that they have done for themselves in years. In therapy, they can see their strength to move through their journey of hurt which allows them to go from victim to survivor. Beacon of Hope Crisis Center counseling services provide individuals and families an opportunity to visualize and work toward the future they want which for most is simply to be HAPPY AND SAFE.  |
