A new approach to holiday stress relief.

by Cathy Caswell | 0

Holiday stress isn’t really about the holidays. We often assume the holidays are stressful because of the busyness — the gatherings, the timelines, the planning. But it’s rarely the season itself that overwhelms us. Instead, the holidays wake up old memories, beliefs, and wishes that shape how we feel and react.

People come from all over the world to visit. It’s a joy. And it’s a burden. There’s a … Read More

And yet, when we speak of mental health, the meaning often gets blurred. Many people equate mental with the head—thinking, brain chemistry, or cognitive strategies. … Read More

Fear and Peace in a Changing World

by Cathy Caswell | 0

Fear is reactive. We often hear the phrase “fear is power.” It shows up everywhere—politics, business, even personal relationships. The idea is simple: if you make people afraid—of failure, loss, or conflict—you can influence what they do. On the surface, it seems effective. Fear drives action. Fear produces results. But here’s the truth: fear is a short-term lever. It may get compliance, but it doesn’t build trust, creativity, or resilience. It traps energy in reactive loops, keeps people tense, and … Read More
