Hormones and Your Mental Health

Since founded, Heart to Heart Counseling Center has always maintained a holistic approach of treating clients.Studies show that 80 percent of women suffer from hormonal imbalances. Some women live with these imbalances without even realizing it; in fact, 70 percent are unaware of conditions that may have manifested due to hormonal irregularities. For men, studies indicate that hormone levels fall nearly one percent each year after they reach 30 years old. The human body produces hundreds of hormones, but the following four of them have a direct influence on brain health/mental health:

Quick Tips

Averting Your Eyes

I want you to picture a clock. Practice picturing a clock in your mind and then averting your eyes to the exact opposite position on the clock. For example, picture the number 12, then avert your eyes clockwise to 6.

The Need for Emotional Connectedness

We all need emotional connectedness- and I do mean NEED. Weary is the soul that has no one wit who, to share. We all need someone who will hear us. Being able to share yourself and to be heard are basic, legitimate God-given needs. Your need for emotional connectedness is no less legitimate than your need for food and water. When you genuinely accept this as truth, you will be able to take responsibility to make sure that your own needs and your spouse’s needs are met on a regular basis.

Your Wife is Yours to Bless

Lust tells you every woman is potentially yours and because of that you are allowed to inspect and assess every woman you want. Lust makes you believe women in general are yours to do with as you please.

Commitment to Connect

Often times after sex an Intimacy Anorexics will begin to sabotage the intimacy the spouse was feeling. Spouses often state that the anorexic “gets cold,” “leaves me physically or emotionally,” “gets angry,” “gets very distant,” “critical” or “picks a fight the next day.”

A Power Greater

The phrase "A Power Greater" was the only change of wording in the Twelve Steps from its original writing. The first writing of the Twelve Steps, which began in an Oxford Bible Study and which birthed AA, read "God" instead of "A Power Greater." The change was made because of the stigma that alcoholics had in the 1930's. To be an alcoholic was very shaming at this time in history. For the alcoholic to go to "God" with his shame was very difficult so the writers of the Twelve Steps made the phrase "A Power Greater" instead to give the alcoholic a little time to develop a God concept. The support groups allow God to patiently reveal Himself to them. Christians can begin to use Christ in their recovery. Bringing Christ into your recovery is also a process, but is necessary for you to effectively walk through your recovery journey.
