If you regularly experience anxiety, you may have researched ways to relieve your symptoms and come across a coping mechanism known as the “333 rule.” But how does it work? The next time you’re feeling anxious, try:
Although the 333 rule doesn’t work in every situation, many therapists recommend it to patients living with anxiety because it helps to ground them. By concentrating on sights, sounds, and movements, patients can stop fixating on their worries and instead focus on the present moment. One of the benefits of the 333 rule is that it doesn’t require someone to be in a certain place or have access to a certain object—instead, they can use it virtually anytime and from almost anywhere. Patients can even practice the 333 rule when they’re not feeling anxious to start establishing it as a habit.
If you’d like to know more about how the 333 rule can help combat anxiety, contact us today. Our therapists have experience using the 333 rule and various other techniques to treat anxiety, and we can develop a care approach that’s customized to your specific needs. When you reach out, we’ll tell you more about our practice, answer your questions, and arrange a time for you to attend an initial therapy session. We look forward to meeting with you and helping you take the next step toward an anxiety-free life.

College Readiness: Part 1 Time Managment, Planning vs. Procrastination
Is your College Senior ready for life on campus?
Starting college is one of the most exciting and challenging time in a budding adult’s life. Making new friends, setting your own schedule, and deciding what you want to learn are some of the new experiences that lay ahead for the class of 2028. However, with this transition comes challenges. For many, this will be their first completely autonomous experience, as they meet the world on their own terms. But in order to successfully navigate this transition into autonomy, self regulating skills are needed.
In this series of articles , I will lay out skills that are needed for a successful transition to life on campus. The first important skills to address is time management and planning.
TIME MANAGEMENT
Someone wise once said “half the key to success is showing up”. In college, no truer words have been spoken. Here are some questions to ponder:
All these are examples of time management and are critical for life on campus. The most important being, can they get themselves to class , every class, on time.
PLANNING vs PROCRASTINATION
Closely related to time management is the ability to plan out a strategy to accomplish goals. Our educational system is structured so that by the time a child is in high school, the ability to plan is tested through projects, paper writing, and preparing for tests. However, their planning abilities thus far have been shaped by a supportive network of teachers and parents monitoring their success. This will not be available at the college level. This skill is the key to success at the university level and it is important to assess if your senior needs to brush up on planning strategies for college.
If you and your senior are concerned about the college transition, Marsh Psychology Group is offering short term counseling for college readiness . Designed for the months before college, sessions will focus on individually assessing each student’s strengths and weaknesses with regard to independent living. We will develop a plan to build up skills prior to fall semester and help each person identify strategies to create a successful transition to life on campus.

Anxiety can affect every aspect of our lives, including our employment. And if workplace anxiety isn’t properly managed, it has the potential to negatively impact our careers.
For example, if a promotion would require you to interact more with clients, give more presentations, or take more business trips—and you feel stressed at the prospect of having to take on those tasks—you may be more likely to turn down the advancement (as well as the salary increase that would accompany it). Likewise, if you have social anxiety, you may be less likely to chat with your coworkers in the break room and attend office parties, which could prevent you from building a valuable network.
Fortunately, there are steps you can take to manage anxiety in the workplace. If you regularly experience anxiety while you’re at work, you may want to try:

Many of us experienced social isolation during the recent pandemic. And none of us will deny that those days and weeks were very hard. Thankfully, the pandemic is over, and life for the majority of us has returned to normal.

Everyone worries from time to time. But if you find yourself worrying on most days for at least six months, you may have a condition known as generalized anxiety disorder. People with this disorder often worry excessively about everyday issues, such as their:
The hallmark symptom of generalized anxiety disorder is constant, uncontrollable worrying. Many people with this condition know that their concerns are unfounded but can’t stop worrying about them regardless, often to the point where the worries begin interfering with their relationships and daily routine. Some individuals report feeling anxious for no apparent reason, as if they sense that something bad is about to happen, but they can’t put their finger on what it is.
If you have generalized anxiety disorder, you may also experience:
