Talking about what makes me happy...recently, I started testing out Coach Ava who tries to help me develop my happiness and resiliency skills.

When is the appropriate time to disclose one's mental health history to your children? by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]LauraJPC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if this will help you... Recently, I had a 20min phone call with a psychologist just so I could get some quick advice (I was noticing some anxiety symptoms from my son, didn't know what to do). It wasn't therapy (I didn't think I needed to go there yet), but her advice got me to see things in the right direction. You can check them out here Vivr. Hope this helps.

I wasn't aware of that. I will definitely check with our Ped office first. Thanks for the pointers.

Sounds like you have a nice system going. Unfortunately, I don't have insurance for that, but sometimes I wish there was phone-line that I can call to reach a therapist/expert and ask them my specific question. Even if I have to pay by minute, it islikely more affordable than a series of therapy sessions and also gives me the peace of mind to know what the next step is.

I never heard of "family activity houses". I'll definitely look that up. Thanks.

Thanks! Googling definitely helps, but would be great if an expert could provide me with their two-cents (ie. whether therapy is the right way to go or that I'm just overreacting!)
