 If you’re neurodivergent, you may have hit the trifecta - decision fatigue, task paralysis, and perfectionism. Any one of these three issues can make life more difficult, but in combination, they can significantly impede progress towards your life goals. The following tools, tips, and mind tricks can help. The individual items are often helpful in more than one area, so check them all out! Tools* Gaming dice - this idea was developed while working with a client to overcome decision fatigue. Make a numbered list of 20 items - 15 chores of varying lengths and 5 short rewards. Break out your 20-sided gaming die and roll, doing whatever chore or reward’s number comes up. Variations: Use one die for chores and one for rewards or use a die with fewer sides for lists of chores that take longer. Keep the lists for future use to avoid decision fatigue. Finch - This free app gamifies self-care and rewards you for completing a goal. It’s customizable and starts off with easy to accomplish goals based on your preferences. Take care of yourself (and get some chores done) while sending your little bird on adventures, decorating its nest, and cashing in points for new outfits. You’ll also earn micropets for your Finch while meeting your personal goals. Invite friends to work on goals together. You can also pay for access to more clothes and furniture for your bird, but the free version works well on its own. GoblinTools - If you haven’t discovered the free site GoblinTools and its different bots, you are in for a pleasant surprise. Our favorites include the MagicToDo list, which breaks projects down into all the steps (which can also be further broken down if needed) and The Chef, which tells you what you can cook for dinner when you list the ingredients you have in the house. The Formalizer will take your words and convert them into the style you would like to convey, such as more professional, more sociable, or grammatically correct. These are very popular with our clients. Tiimo - This is a paid app (although it does have a free version with limited features) designed by neurodivergent people specifically for people with ADHD or other executive functioning needs. The free version includes planning tools, to-do lists, and the focus timer. The paid version has many additional features, such as widgets that keep your tasks on top to help you stay focused. AudioDiary - This is a voice journaling app. In the paid version, AI will help by organizing your thoughts and suggesting goals, which may be easier than text input for some users. Tips Calendars - Simple but effective, calendars are great for visual organizers. One of our counselors uses an old school paper calendar to keep track of her three electronic calendars - two professional and one personal. There are several types out there, so research and experiment to find what works for you. We even had one client who used a spreadsheet to create a weekly schedule. Extra tips: The keys to success when using calendars is to schedule more time than you think a task will take, only put what’s absolutely necessary on the calendar (like appointments, meetings, and events), and leave plenty of “whitespace” as a buffer in between items so you have time to compensate for changes without feeling overwhelmed. Alarms - We have a running joke with some of our clients that we all have “hydrate & urinate” alarms set on our phones to help us break off from hyperfocus while working and engage in some health maintenance. Task or To-Do lists - Another simple solution that works well, but the key is to avoid overloading yourself. We suggest making one big list of all the tasks you need or want to do, then picking 3-5 items for your daily “to do” list and cross them off as you do them. Count success as completing 1-3 items from the daily to-do list to avoid feeling overwhelmed. Then, whatever is leftover is still on the task list to be done another day. Spreadsheets - Ah, spreadsheets. They scratch a mental itch like few other things do. If you haven’t yet discovered the glory of a good spreadsheet, let us introduce you. More than just a budget planner (although a fully developed budget with formulas that automatically update totals is a thing of beauty), spreadsheets can be used to set up routine tasks. For example, we know of one person who used Google Sheets for meal planning so she could set it up once and not have to think about it again. She set up spreadsheets for 4 weeks of meal plans, linking to the recipes on the list. For each week, she listed all the ingredients to make double the amount of each recipe. Lastly, she used one of the pages in the spreadsheet to create to-do lists for herself and her partner to do the meal prep for the week’s recipes, reserving half of each for the freezer for a future meal. Now they cook every other weekend and have meals for two weeks. When she was finished with the spreadsheets, it amounted to 8 weeks of meals without any more dinner decision making. Plus, her grocery list was ready to order online for delivery once every two weeks. To make it easier, she did one spreadsheet every other week until she had the four of them done instead of doing all four of them at once. Mind tricks GETMO - Good Enough to Move On describes the concept of doing enough instead of doing things perfectly. Perfectionism is the enemy of progress! Just 5 Minutes - Set a timer and do just 5 minutes on a task. This helps overcome inertia. If you do just 5 minutes, you’ve succeeded. Once you get going, you may discover that you want to keep going once the timer dings, but you’re not obligated. Plan to “Fail” - this is a concept I developed in working with neurodivergent clients. The idea is to define success as not meeting your target. For example, a client once wanted to get all their cleaning done on Friday mornings, leaving the rest of their weekend for fun and rest. They made a list of the things they needed to do, in order, to maximize efficiency. They committed to getting up and doing their cleaning every Friday morning, but there’s a catch. The client had to choose one Friday per month to “fail” to clean in order to successfully meet their goal. This meant that if a special event came up or if the client got sick, they could still meet their success goal of cleaning all three Fridays. By allowing room for imperfection, the client avoided discouragement. We hope these ideas are helpful.

 “Doomscrolling” and “dopamine” have hit the modern vocabulary almost as ubiquitously as “peanut butter and jelly”. While I’d much rather advise clients to distract themselves offline (to “touch grass” in the best possible way), there are times when scrolling the interwebs is the easiest solution. For those times, here are some of our family’s top picks for mindless, funny entertainment, (mostly) without mentioning politics. So here are a few of our favorites. Please comment with your favorites, which may be added to a future update.

It’s free or very low cost, it’s available all day every day, and you don’t have to leave your bed to use it. It doesn’t care if you’re awkward or if you had a shower that day. You don’t even have to “people” to start helping yourself. These advantages make ChatGPT and its AI cousins very attractive, and it’s true that it can be a helpful tool in improving your mental health. However, it should never be used to replace real counseling with a human counselor or therapist (and if you ask it, it will tell you that). Here are four of the reasons why: Giving incorrect information A 2024 study published in American Psychologist showed that both voice- and text-based AI (examples include Amazon Alexa, Apple Siri, Google Assistant, and Microsoft Cortana) and text-based chatbots (e.g., ChatGPT and AI psychotherapist Woebot) “may unintentionally retrieve misinformation from human knowledge databases, confabulate responses on their own, or purposefully spread disinformation for political purposes” (Huang, Cheng, & Rajaram, 2024). Users also report mixed positive and negative experiences with using AI as a mental health tool, citing accuracy and reliability errors, inability to perform assessments, and a lack of understanding of moral and linguistic differences (Alanezi, 2024). Creating false memories The Huang study further showed that even when the AI bot warned participants ahead of time that the information may not be accurate, “77% of the socially misinformed words became the participants’ false memory” (Huang, et al., 2024). The results may differ across cultures, as the study also showed that “individuals from Asian cultures and the United States placed greater trust in robots than individuals from European cultures, and such trust is positively correlated with robot reliability or consistent ability”, meaning people from these cultures are more likely to trust the bot than people from European cultures (Huang, et al., 2024). Either way, the human brain is more malleable than we realize and it’s up to each of us to protect our own. No privacy Mental health professionals in the United States, like medical professionals, are required by law to keep your information confidential. With very few exceptions, anything considered "individually identifiable health information" must be kept confidential and protected from data breaches (Summary of the HIPAA, 2025). On ChatGPT (and other AI), anything you say or type into the platform can and often is used by others (OpenAI Privacy, 2024). No feelings, body language, etc. Although AI can say things that sound empathetic, the responses are automatically generated and don’t reflect actual empathy (Rozental et al., 2018 as cited by Carlbring, et al., 2023). It also can’t identify if there is a disconnect between what a client says and how their body language indicates they are actually feeling - something mental health professionals are trained to recognize and address. This removes the most effective part of therapy, the therapeutic alliance, which is one of the best indicators of potentially successful treatment (Wampold and Flückiger, 2023 as cited by Carlbring, et al., 2023). Despite the disadvantages, AI can be an effective tool to use in addition to your human counselor. Some of our clients have used it to help them prepare their thoughts before a session. Others have used it to help practice challenging negative thoughts. It can also be used to help with task management, decision fatigue, or even what to make for dinner (one of our favorite recommendations for clients is Goblin.tools). Even so, no bot can provide the expert, personalized treatment that a human professional counselor or therapist can - or the heart that cares about your well-being. Sources: Alanezi, F. (2024).

One of the most common problems our clients face is depression, and they sometimes describe it as feeling like they’re walking neck-deep through mud. There are no quick solutions, but there are things you can do to start feeling better. Start therapy We highly recommend that you start working with a licensed mental health counselor for individual therapy. A good counselor can guide your therapy in a way that is individual to you and your needs, provide emotional support, recommend coping strategies, and help you feel better more quickly. Take care of your body It’s not exciting, but it is very important to maintain your physical health. That means seeing your doctor to rule out any medical problems, exercising regularly, drinking enough water, and fueling your body with good nutrition. Use social media wisely Social media can be a great tool for entertainment, but it has tremendous potential for making you feel worse overall. Comparing yourself to others, doomscrolling, or arguing politics can all contribute to feelings of depression. Distract your brain Doing things that require you to focus or concentrate can help distract your brain from thinking about all the negativity for a little while. Making this a habit will slowly, over time, help lessen the depressive feelings. Have fun Really. This is obviously easier said than done when we’re depressed, but it’s okay to go in baby steps. If you’re severely depressed, nothing may feel fun to you anymore. If that is the case, please call your doctor or a mental health counselor to get seen right away. For many people, though, fun seems to fall off our list of things to do. Try staying off anything electronic and playing a board game with friends or trying a weird new hobby. Talk to your doctor about anti-depressant medication Medication recommendations are something that your counselor or therapist cannot and will not make, as that is only something your primary care doctor or psychiatrist is trained and licensed to do. If you’re having a hard time dealing with the feelings of depression, that’s when it’s time for you and your doctor to discuss if a combination of medication and counseling would be more beneficial for you than therapy alone. As a reminder, if you are thinking about suicide, please call or text 988 or visit the 988 Lifeline website to chat with someone, any time of the day or night, including weekends and holidays. If you’re in Florida and are interested in a free 15-minute telephone consultation about how The Mangroves counselors can help you with your depression, please contact us.   If you’ve read our previous blog posts on our Favorite Feel-Good Youtube Channels or Fun & Functional Mental Health Counseling, you already know how much we love coping skills. If not, let me explain. When I’m working with clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, sensory overstimulation, or are trying to overcome the effects of trauma, I’ll talk to them about what they can do differently to help themselves start feeling better. Depending on the person and their situation, this often involves doing something they find FUN that requires some mental focus or concentration. While you could go down the r/hobbies rabbit hole, you might want to try some of these lesser-known hobbies to start.

As a parent who raised an amazing human with a diagnosed condition, I remember how exhausting it is to keep up with everything. From the day we receive that life-changing diagnosis, we are hit with raw emotion, new responsibilities, new fears, and a persistent lack of support. Even well-intentioned friends and family members sometimes aren’t as helpful as we’d like them to be. If you’re the parent of a child with a significant medical condition, it’s important to preserve your own physical and mental health, and one of the best resources for parents is a Prescribed Pediatric Extended Care (PPEC) center. A Prescribed Pediatric Extended Care (PPEC) center is “a specialized medical daycare designed for children with complex medical needs. It provides skilled nursing care, therapy services, and developmental support in a safe and stimulating environment. Unlike traditional daycare centers, PPECs are staffed with experienced nurses and therapists who manage each child’s individualized medical care, ensuring they receive the support they need while allowing their families to work, attend school, or take respite”, according to Marlene Torres, RN, Director of Nursing at The Mighty Academy PPEC in Clewiston, Florida. Children who attend PPEC centers typically need an order from their pediatrician. The Mighty Academy lists several examples of qualifying medical conditions on their website, but some common ones include a diagnosis that requires ongoing medical supervision, such as respiratory support, tube feedings, seizure management, blood glucose management or medication administration. Each child’s medical need is determined on a case-by-case basis, and parents can call for a consultation if they aren’t sure whether their child qualifies. With the skilled nursing care, PPECs provide each child:
Best of all, PPECs are often covered by Medicaid at 100%! Center staff will assist parents in determining their private insurance coverage. Florida has a well established PPEC system. As the newest PPEC, The Mighty Academy is serving one of the most rural areas in Florida - Hendry, Glades, and western parts of Palm Beach counties, all areas which are traditionally medically underserved. What makes them unique, however, is not just their rural location. In some cases, children can attend The Mighty Academy full time instead of traditional school. Founders Melissa Hevia, RN, (Administrator) and Marlene Torres, RN, MSN (Director of Nursing) have roughly two decades of combined experience in pediatric critical care, neonatal intensive care, cardiac intensive care, surgical nursing, and infusion therapy. In addition to providing high quality nursing care and enriching experiences for the children, Melissa and Marlene focus on empowering parents by helping them navigate and manage their child’s full medical needs. Marlene states, “We help connect our families with valuable community resources and a family-centered approach, keeping parents involved and informed every step of the way while providing some “normalcy” to their family life.” For those outside of Florida, please keep in mind that PPECs are not available in all states. PPEC services are primarily available in states that recognize and fund them through Medicaid programs. In other states, these programs may be called something different, such as Medical Daycare Programs or Pediatric Day Health Centers (PDHCs). However, in many states, families must rely on in-home nursing, private duty nursing, or school-based medical support instead of PPEC centers. If you’re looking for a PPEC or similar program in your state, check with:

Most insurances accepted, telehealth available.   Workplace conflict has a huge impact on mental health. Sometimes the only thing worse than the stress at work is the stress of not having a job at all! With articles like this recent Newsweek one describing why Gen Z employees are getting fired quickly, and this Psychology Today article from 2021 describing why people over 50 aren’t getting hired, it’s clear that the generations share a problem in common: employability. The causes may be different, but the solutions are remarkably similar. Keep reading for 4 keys to employability (and maintaining a low stress workplace).
🔑 Expand your network Younger generations are very good at social networking, but how is your business networking? How to improve: attend events in person, dressed appropriately for the event, and introduce yourself to other attendees. Have a professional introduction of about 30 seconds ready to give, and make sure to shake hands, if appropriate for the venue. Are you of the older generation? Make sure you’re utilizing social media to expand your network, especially with younger colleagues. How to improve: Allow yourself to be a little less formal and join in on some of the social platforms, team-building activities or after-hours socializing opportunities that our younger coworkers enjoy. Yes, it can be tedious to repeat similar team-builders year after year, and we may be tired after work on a Friday night, but when we focus on genuinely getting to know the young team, the camaraderie carries over into the workplace. 🔑 Be teachable Young people, a college degree does not mean you know what you’re doing. Be open to receiving feedback and learning from those who have been doing your work for years. Constructive criticism is your friend, not your enemy. Older people, be open to hearing ideas from the new kid on the block. Sometimes their fresh perspective provides solutions for old challenges and expansion into new markets. 🔑 It’s not WHAT you say, it’s HOW you say it (and WHO you say it to) Those of us in the Baby Boomer and Gen X groups tend to be pragmatic and no-nonsense in the way we communicate, and that works for us. It conveys information efficiently and without unnecessary coddling… but our younger coworkers aren’t receiving the message because of our delivery. How to improve: Try softening your facial expression when talking with a younger generation. When offering feedback, make sure to tell them about the things they are doing well in addition to the areas for improvement. Younger Millenials and Gen Z: Remember that your older counterparts grew up tough, and don’t value emotional expression as much as you do. What they do value is direct communication and respect for their experience. How to improve: Make requests or statements brief and factual. Keep your emotions out of it and defer to your older colleagues’ greater experience. If you have a conflict or challenge with an older colleague, speak to them directly and privately to resolve it, and be willing to compromise. Extend some grace and ask for clarification if you feel that they are being hurtful in their communication style. Going behind their backs to “tattle” to Human Resources or their supervisor may get you what you want in the short term, but you will lose their respect and be thought of as weak. 🔑 Be Accountable For all generations, professional standards of behavior are expected. These include, but are not limited to:
These tips are intended to not only help old and young get and keep jobs, but also add to the harmony of working together by reducing misunderstandings and defining typical work expectations. Stick with it and let me know how long it took YOU to be successful. And remember, if you're in the middle of a career change and are looking for career or life change counseling, please contact us.  When therapy doesn’t work, (or when counseling doesn’t work), it can feel hopeless. We turn to professionals for help, but we’re not feeling any better. What can you do to fix it? With a little time and these tips, you can refocus with your current therapist, or pick a new counselor.
6 steps to make counseling work:
With these six steps, most of us can select and work with a Counselor who fits our personality and respects our values. The most important thing to remember, though, is to talk to your Counselor if something isn’t working. A good Counselor is open to feedback and adapting to meet your needs. As always, if you’re in Florida and would like to learn how to not just survive, but to thrive in a toxic environment, please contact us.  I love men. (There, I said it.) Since June is Men’s Health Month and we are hours away from Father’s Day, it seems fitting to celebrate some of the common traits shared by the many good men in the world.
The internet was recently on fire with the bear vs. man debate. The videos and memes were thought provoking - as good art should be - but also sad on a couple of levels. First, the thought that so many women agreed with a stereotype of men was disappointing, and the thought that many of them likely have unresolved pain from a relationship with a male in their lives was heartbreaking. I get it. I’ve been there. Got the tee shirt, got the trauma. Secondly, it was sad that many women have not had the experience of a positive relationship with a healthy, strong man - one who would have fought the bear and sacrificed himself to protect her. Men communicate differently than women do, and that can lead to frustration for some women. My brothers thought it was hilarious the first time they shared the It’s Not About the Nail video with me. The joke’s on them, though, as I have used it in sessions to demonstrate the differences between communication styles between men and women. While women speak to be heard and solve the problem through the discussion, men are short and to the point. They don’t need a lot of words to get the job done. Their nature is to fix the problem for us, and they can get just as frustrated when we don’t get it. This misunderstanding seems to be at the heart of conflicts surrounding mansplaining. Men appear confident by nature (even if they don’t feel that way on the inside). That, combined with their desire to be helpful, is where the solutions come in. And let’s be honest, don’t we all stereotype each other all the time? (Answer: Yes, we do. It’s how the brain operates efficiently, and is called heuristics.) Men identify as providers. They feel good about themselves when they work to support us, whether that provision is financial, child-rearing and home duties, or the typically manly fishing and hunting for food. That, of course, doesn’t mean that they want to do everything on their own. They, too, are looking for a partner in life to share the responsibilities. One of the most admirable and rarely mentioned attributes of men is their uncomplaining stoicism in the face of hardship. We women tend to want to talk things out immediately and thoroughly, but we can gain considerable harmony in our relationships if we can honor our partners’ natural inclination to mull things over to figure out their own solutions before jumping in with all the words. That’s how men support each other - by giving each other the respect and the space to figure things out on their own. They seem to know instinctively when it’s acceptable to offer a helping hand to other men and when it’s not. Perhaps most importantly, fathers are vital to the well being of children. They play a much different role than mothers do in raising children, but an equally valid one. Children raised with their fathers have better cognitive development, fewer behavioral problems, better physical health, greater empathy as adults, higher academic achievement, higher standards of living, and less depression (boys) than do those children raised without fathers (Wilson & Prior, 2011, p. 405). Some disagree with this, citing the Fragile Families and Child Well Being Study (FFCWS) and arguing that family stability is more important than the involvement of a father to child well-being. However, the study fails to account for the likelihood that the presence of a father significantly contributes to family stability. This includes a reduction in stress of the mothers. FFCWS further erroneously attributes poorer outcomes in parents-married families to abusive fathers, without similarly weighting the effects of abusive mothers. An additional flaw is the emphasis on nurturing, faulting fathers for being less nurturing than mothers, whereas in reality, fathers fulfill a different but equally important role with their unique parenting style. For example, imagine a child injures himself on the playground. While mothers’ consoling is important when a child receives a booboo on the playground, so are the fathers’ more verbal reassurance, which helps children develop self-soothing skills and a sense of self competence. These skills are some of the keys to building resilience and long term good mental health. Fathers’ involvement in their children’s lives is not only vital, but the more involved and the better quality of involvement they have, the better the outcomes for the children (Wilson & Prior, 2011, p. 405). Researchers found many positive outcomes, including but not limited to the aforementioned cognitive development, empathy, and behavioral outcomes, but also more prosocial behavior, greater social responsibility, higher self-esteem, social maturity, life skills, and higher occupational achievement in adulthood. So let’s celebrate men today, and all the ways they enrich our lives! This post is dedicated especially to my favorite alpha male, my beloved, Frank. He is the poet with the heart of a warrior who stepped in to raise daughters whom he did not father. He found me as a single Mom with a broken heart and selflessly packed up his life and moved to our state to be our shield. He never complains, but kills all the spiders, changes the oil in all the cars, rescues us when we have flat tires (without scolding us for not checking before we left) and fights off all the bears. I pick you, Frank. I pick you. Wilson, K. R., & Prior, M. R. (2011). Father involvement and child well‐being.
