It has been heartbreaking to know the outcome, but to also watch how everything has been unfolding over the last couple of weeks. I found myself questioning myself as a clinician, because for a lot of us, especially in the perinatal mental health world, some of the issues being discussed feel close to home and happen in clients that sit across from us every day.
- [The Psychology of Choking Under Pressure: Why Big Moments Can Feel So Heavy](https://insightclinicalcounseling.com/the-psychology-of-choking-under-pressure-why-big-moments-can-feel-so-heavy/): Most athletes know what it feels like to have a big moment arrive. The game is close. The crowd is loud. The coach is watching. A teammate is counting on you. Maybe it is a free throw, a penalty kick, a final at-bat, a serve, a routine, or one play that could change the outcome.
- [The Invisible Pressure of Being “Talented”: When Expectations Become Heavy](https://insightclinicalcounseling.com/the-invisible-pressure-of-being-talented-when-expectations-become-heavy/): Being called talented can feel good. For many athletes, it is a compliment that recognizes hard work, ability, and potential. Coaches may praise them. Parents may feel proud. Teammates may look up to them. Others may expect them to be a leader, a starter, or the athlete who comes through when the game is on the line.
- [Getting back to school ready](https://insightclinicalcounseling.com/getting-back-to-school-ready/): As the end of summertime fun quickly approaches, the nerves of starting a new school year start to arise. Getting back into school routines can feel like an impossible task for both parents and kids, but it doesn’t have to be! Here are some ways to help make going back to school a smooth transition!
- [My Experience with Rumination About Grief](https://insightclinicalcounseling.com/my-experience-with-rumination-about-grief/): We hear this word all the time, but how many of us know how to describe it? What is rumination? This is defined as, “the habit of obsessively, repetitively, and passively dwelling on negative feelings, past mistakes, or worries, often without finding solutions.”
- [The Quiet Connection Between Hormones and Mental Health](https://insightclinicalcounseling.com/the-quiet-connection-between-hormones-and-mental-health/): Have you ever experienced days when your mood is off? Maybe your energy drops, anxiety seems to jump out of nowhere, maybe feeling super down in the dumps? I think it is pretty easy to assume we feel that way simply because of some added work stress or a busy schedule this week- but what if I told you that sometimes our bodies are trying to tell us something more, something deeper.
- [Performance Expectations](https://insightclinicalcounseling.com/performance-expectations/): Sports can be an incredible source of growth, confidence, discipline, and connection. They teach athletes how to push through challenges, work as part of a team, and strive toward goals.
- [Mindfulness for Athletes: Staying Present Under Pressure](https://insightclinicalcounseling.com/mindfulness-for-athletes-staying-present-under-pressure/): Athletes are often told to be focused, tough, and ready for anything. But in the middle of competition, focus can be difficult to maintain. A missed shot, a bad call, a mistake, or pressure from the crowd can quickly pull an athlete out of the moment.
- [Asking for Help as an Athlete: Why Support Is a Strength](https://insightclinicalcounseling.com/asking-for-help-as-an-athlete-why-support-is-a-strength/): Athletes are often praised for being tough. They are taught to push through pain, stay focused under pressure, and keep going when things get difficult. While determination is an important part of sports, it can sometimes send the wrong message: that athletes should handle everything on their own.
- [Coping with Loss, Failure, or Mistakes: How Athletes Can Move Forward Without Shame](https://insightclinicalcounseling.com/coping-with-loss-failure-or-mistakes-how-athletes-can-move-forward-without-shame/): Every athlete makes mistakes. Every athlete loses. Every athlete has moments they wish they could redo. A missed shot, a dropped pass, a bad race, a strikeout, a turnover, or a championship loss can feel devastating in the moment. For many athletes, setbacks do not just feel like something went wrong — they can feel like I am wrong.
- [Athletic Identity: “Who Am I Without My Sport?”](https://insightclinicalcounseling.com/athletic-identity-who-am-i-without-my-sport/): For many athletes, sports are more than just an activity. They are a routine, a community, a source of confidence, and often a major part of personal identity. From early morning practices to weekend games, tournaments, team dinners, and constant training, being an athlete can shape how a person sees themselves and how others see them.
- [How to Mentally Overcome a Sports Injury and Return Stronger](https://insightclinicalcounseling.com/how-to-mentally-overcome-a-sports-injury-and-return-stronger/): A sports injury can feel like more than just a physical setback. For many athletes, it can affect confidence, identity, motivation, and emotional well-being. Whether it is a sprain, tear, fracture, concussion, surgery, or long recovery process, being sidelined from the sport you love can be frustrating and discouraging.
- [Sleep, Stress, and Athletic Performance: Why Recovery Matters](https://insightclinicalcounseling.com/sleep-stress-and-athletic-performance-why-recovery-matters/): Athletes spend a lot of time training their bodies. They practice skills, build strength, improve speed, and work on endurance. But one of the most important parts of athletic performance often happens away from the field, court, pool, track, or gym: recovery.
- [Social Media and Athlete Mental Health: The Pressure Behind the Posts](https://insightclinicalcounseling.com/social-media-and-athlete-mental-health-the-pressure-behind-the-posts/): Social media can be a powerful tool for athletes. It allows them to share highlights, celebrate wins, connect with teammates, promote accomplishments, and build a personal brand.
- [April is Stress Awareness Month: Taking a Breath Amid Life’s Everyday Chaos](https://insightclinicalcounseling.com/april-is-stress-awareness-month-taking-a-breath-amid-lifes-everyday-chaos/): If you’re anything like me, stress sometimes feels like a constant companion. Whether juggling work, family, or just the never-ending list of daily tasks, it’s easy to get overwhelmed. That’s why April, Stress Awareness Month, is such an important reminder to slow down and take care of ourselves—because managing stress isn’t just a nice-to-have; it’s a must-have for our health and happiness.
- [Why You Keep Overthinking (and How to Interrupt It)](https://insightclinicalcounseling.com/why-you-keep-overthinking-and-how-to-interrupt-it/): Overthinking can feel exhausting—and confusing. You replay conversations, analyze decisions, imagine worst-case scenarios, and try to “figure it all out.” From the outside, it might look like you’re just thinking too much.
- [Five Grounding Techniques That Work in the Moment](https://insightclinicalcounseling.com/five-grounding-techniques-that-work-in-the-moment/): When you feel overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally flooded, your mind can start to spiral quickly. Thoughts race, your body tenses, and it can feel like you’re losing control. In those moments, it’s not about “thinking your way out” of it, it’s about helping your nervous system settle.
- [Men's Mental Health](https://insightclinicalcounseling.com/mens-mental-health/): As a clinician, I have the privilege of sitting with men from all walks of life—men who are strong, capable, and deeply committed to their families, careers, and responsibilities. Yet behind that strength, many carry stress, pressure, and emotional weight that often goes unspoken. Men’s mental health is not a rare concern; it is simply one that is too often hidden.
- [The Quiet Work of Knowing Your Sense of Self](https://insightclinicalcounseling.com/the-quiet-work-of-knowing-your-sense-of-self/): What does it mean to have a sense of self? How do you know who you are? Believe it or not, it is common for people to not know who they are.. I often hear this in my office. Sometimes people will have an incident that changes their life and can change who they are as a person.
- [Performance Anxiety in Sports: Understanding It and Learning How to Manage It](https://insightclinicalcounseling.com/performance-anxiety-in-sports-understanding-it-and-learning-how-to-manage-it/): Performance anxiety is a common challenge for athletes at every level of competition. Whether someone is playing in a youth league, competing in college athletics, or performing on a professional stage, the pressure to succeed can create intense nervousness and fear of failure.
- [The Importance of Self-Esteem in Mental Health](https://insightclinicalcounseling.com/the-importance-of-self-esteem-in-mental-health/): On a scale of 0/10 how much do you love yourself? Where would you rate your self-esteem? What do you love about yourself? What are your strengths or something you are great at? What is something you’re not so great at? Or what do you want to change or work on in your life here in counseling?
- [What to Expect from Your First Therapy Session: A Clinician’s Perspective](https://insightclinicalcounseling.com/what-to-expect-from-your-first-therapy-session-a-clinicians-perspective/): Starting therapy for the first time can bring up a mix of curiosity, hope, and nervousness. As a clinician, I often meet people who worry about what is going to happen in that first session.
- [Head Strong: Supporting the Mental Health and Performance of Athletes](https://insightclinicalcounseling.com/head-strong-supporting-the-mental-health-and-performance-of-athletes/): Athletes are often admired for their physical strength, discipline, and competitive spirit. From youth leagues to collegiate sports and beyond, athletes dedicate countless hours to training, competition, and improvement. Yet behind the visible physical performance is an often overlooked component of success: mental health.

I started playing sports in kindergarten, but, around the age of 12, volleyball became my true passion. From that point on, the court wasn’t just where I played: it was where I coped. Every teenage hardship, heartbreak, and worry was filtered through the constant drills, the competitions, and the grounding repetition of practices. Volleyball was a constant, a kind of emotional home I could return to no matter what was happening outside the gym.

- [You Don’t Have to be a Monk to ‘Meditate’](https://insightclinicalcounseling.com/you-dont-have-to-be-a-monk-to-meditate/): So many of my clients have shared with me that meditation (mindfulness) coping skills ‘Don’t work for me!’ or ‘They make my anxiety worse!’ or ‘I could never sit and think about nothing!’ Maybe you can relate? For most of us, when we think of meditating, we think of a monk sitting cross legged on the floor experiencing a state of quiet and focus. Honestly, that’s what comes to my mind too.
- [Coercive Control: The Hidden Domestic Violence](https://insightclinicalcounseling.com/coercive-control-the-hidden-domestic-violence/): When most people hear about intimate partner violence (IPV), thoughts of physical abuse usually come to mind.

- [What is OCD and How Do We Treat It?](https://insightclinicalcounseling.com/what-is-ocd-and-how-do-we-treat-it/): When we hear that someone has an obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) diagnosis, we often think this means they are very clean and like to wash their hands! Although these symptoms can be true for some individuals experiencing OCD, this is also a very limited perspective.

(Woohoo!) While we’re raising awareness though, I’d love to nudge your attention toward something else that matters too: June is also PTSD Awareness Month.

- [Let’s Talk About Expectations](https://insightclinicalcounseling.com/lets-talk-about-expectations/): We all fall into that familiar loop: “If only he would…” “What if she just…” “When will they finally…” Or the classic: “Why can’t they just…?” The problem with this cycle is that it keeps us stuck in disappointment. We set ourselves up with expectation, often silently, and then wonder why we feel let down when they aren’t met.
- [ADHD Basics](https://insightclinicalcounseling.com/adhd-basics/): Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurobiological disorder that affects executive functioning portion of the brain (located mainly in the front part of the brain). When executive functioning is impaired, it can be difficult to prioritize and initiate tasks, sustain our attention, manage time, and regulate emotions. When people think of ADHD, they often picture a young excessively energetic child in school unable to pay attention to the teacher. Some also believe that children may outgrow ADHD. However, research shows that ADHD symptoms persist for 60 percent of adults. In adults, the symptoms can look different from those in children, and the severity can fluctuate depending on life stressors.

- [Triplets Pregnancy Story](https://insightclinicalcounseling.com/triplets-pregnancy-story/): The news that we were having triplets brought us so much joy.

- [Grief and Healing](https://insightclinicalcounseling.com/grief/): Grief. We are all familiar with it. When we hear the word, we most often associate it with death. I know I did.

At least I hope you’re asking these questions because music and mental health are very important separately. Music allows us to feel connected to others regardless of age, religion, or language. We can listen to a song and understand the emotion that it is trying to convey.

- [Going to Counseling for the First Time](https://insightclinicalcounseling.com/going-to-counseling-for-the-first-time/): Deciding to go address your mental health and various stressors with a complete stranger takes a lot of strength and working through discomfort.
