How a mood disorder can impact relationships | Judith C. Labert
Moods can present in many different ways. 

It can be physical, mental, or emotional. It can manifest as depression, irritability, anxiety or moodiness. And it can have a major impact on relationships. Anxiety can make it hard to communicate effectively, to be present in the moment, and to feel connected to others. It can also lead to conflict, distance, and isolation. If you're in a relationship with someone who suffers from a mood issue, it's important to be understanding and patient. Anxiety and depression are both real and can be serious conditions that can be very difficult to manage. But with support from loved ones, it is possible to live a happy and fulfilling life.

Anxiety can show up in different ways in different relationships. It might be the person who is always checking their phone, or never seems to want to go out and socialize. Maybe it's the person who cancels plans last minute, or gets overwhelmed in social situations. Anxiety can impact relationships in a number of ways, both positive and negative. On the positive side, anxiety can make people more attuned to the needs of others and more attuned to the nuances of relationships. On the negative side, anxiety can make people more sensitive to criticism and more likely to withdraw from social interactions. Either way, anxiety is a normal part of many people's lives, and it doesn't have to be a deal-breaker in relationships. With understanding and communication, anxiety can be managed in a way that works for both partners.

When people think of depression, they often think of it as something that only impacts an individual mentally. However, depression can also take a toll on physical health, which in turn can impact relationships. For example, someone who is struggling with anxiety may avoid social situations out of fear of being judged. As a result, they may miss out on quality time with friends and family. Additionally, depression can lead to isolate oneself, which can make it difficult to maintain healthy relationships. While it is important to seek help for depression, it is also important to be mindful of how the condition may be impacting relationships. By taking steps to stay connected and open communication, it is possible to maintain strong relationships despite depression.

Meet Judith C. Labert

 
Hello! Welcome
Thanks so much for coming by! 

I used to be a body builder and gym-nut- But the "perfect storm" of events ended up disrupting my physical, mental and emotional health, creating imbalanced hormones, weight gain and a loss of self. I have struggled with Chronic Fatigue and negative emotions, such as self-loathing. Through my own journey, coupled with my professional training, I have learned many tools like the power of using Conscious Language and have expanded my knowledge about how emotions and language impact the body, how our environment contributes to our health and the body's well being, and how mindset matters! As I have improved my health and regained my sense of self, I am now on a mission! In this world, with all the emotional (and physical!) pains, I commit myself to helping other's learn and grow to be better, healthier versions of themselves. I am always learning about how to live a plant based, non toxic, chemical free life so that we can live out best lives!!

 As a professional, I am a licensed Mental Health/Art Therapist and Certified Life Coach. I work with a lot of folks who experience various degrees of trauma and anxiety. I value the amazing tools that I have learned-and continue to learn- that are effective in helping the clients I serve! I am an art therapist and I use aroma and apply a variety of integrative approaches in a holistic model with all my clients. I am a Christian practitioner and believe in the power of faith and in the capabilities of the amazing bodies we live in!

 
In my therapy practice, I specialize in trauma and addiction, as well as being a Registered Art Therapist. I work with kids of all ages, including adults! I Love using various products and techniques to support my system within my own health and wellness journey and am passionate about incorporating a holistic approach with my clients to better support them in their journey.


As a holistic practitioner, a Certified Mental Health Integrative Medicine Provider and Certified Mental Wellness Coach, I often suggest a variety of product recommendations for my friends, family and clients.  This education provides another tool to help in my supporting you to Live Your Best Life... 
I offer an intro health assessment to those looking for answers to help decide what is the best direction and fit for your needs. I am a Certified Aroma Freedom PractitionerCertified Emotion and Body Code Practitioner and a Certified Oola Life Coach and Mental Wellness Coach- so no matter what your struggle is, I have tools that can help you set goals, support wellness, build your faith and help you find purpose in your life! 

Personally....
I am still healing (it is an on-going journey of health) but am thriving more each day that passes. I am now an International Best Selling Author, as some of my story was published in a book collaboration that was published October 2021! I am a mom of two girls and a wife, a fitness lover and beach explorer. I enjoy a variety of music and love road trips. I wear Chacos and tank tops every day possible! I grew up in Wyoming but love living in the milder climate of Southern Oregon. I lam happy in warm weather and at the beach. I support my husband in his Art and Automotive Restoration business and in his hobby of restoring a '57 Oldsmobile. We are looking forward to taking it on a cross country trip in it when it is complete! We both cherish family and enjoy sharing new experiences together.

 I am excited for you to join me on this journey!
xoxo ~Judith
