- [Shake it Off](https://breathingspacepsychotherapy.com/shake-it-off/): We carry so much throughout a single day: responsibilities, reminders, the weight of impending deadlines, bags, and the heat, now that we’re in the middle of the summer\. Our bodies deserve a break—deserve to release and relax\. You deserve to relax and heal\.

Today, we are taking another tip from the trees this season\. Just as the trees learn to shed their leaves, let's shake it off\!

- [Fear Response](https://breathingspacepsychotherapy.com/fear-response/): The spooky season is in full swing\! This month, you may have explored haunted houses, gone on a hay ride, carved spooky \(or cute\) pumpkins, watched scary movies, played horror games or read horror books\. This month seems dedicated to the emotion of fear: exploring what scares us as well as scaring away creatures with scarecrows and jack\-o\-lanterns\. So, this week, let's look at the fear response\. 
- [Building Memories](https://breathingspacepsychotherapy.com/building-memories/): The days that stick out to you: do they fill you with love, joy, happiness? Or do they fill you with a heavy weight? Our minds tend to focus on the negatives in life\. It’s how we survive: scan for threats, notice them, and remember, so you can survive the threat\.

So, remembering your favorite dish is out of stock on a night out is more likely to stick in your mind than the delicious taste of your second favorite dish\. It may even cloud your senses so you don’t notice the cute baby’s contagious laughter \(but you do notice the tiny pieces of burnt food instead\)\.
 \<br\>\<br\>
This week, let’s examine our memories and discover how we can build positive, long\-lasting, happy memories\.
- [Climbing the Wall of Awful](https://breathingspacepsychotherapy.com/climbing-the-wall-of-awful/): Earlier in August, we wrote about the unconventional horror story: the Wall of Awful\. The Wall of Awful describes a metaphorical wall that makes starting or working on tasks difficult\. This wall is built up of past experiences that interfere with your ability to do The Thing\. This week, let's examine several responses to the Wall of Awful and how we can climb it with our well\-being in mind\.
- [Anxiety in Men](https://breathingspacepsychotherapy.com/anxiety-in-men/): Are women more likely to be anxious than men? Research would show that women twice as likely to be diagnosed with an anxiety disorder than men\. So, does this mean the men experience less anxiety than women?

\<br\>\<br\>

It could be, and yet it is more likely that our definition of anxiety is a gendered construct\. That is, what we know as anxiety is more likely to fit a woman’s experience of anxiety than a man’s experience of anxiety\. Our understanding of anxiety is too narrow\.
