So, why shouldn't I just use MoodLinks on my own?
Keeping a record and sharing it with a health professional you trust has four BIG benefits:
- Helps you try new skills for managing mood, anxiety, or stress, and recognize triggers and risk factors that can get in the way of lasting change.
- Your MoodLinks record provides the most accurate way to decide which changes will make the biggest difference for you.
- A clinician can evaluate whether the changes you are making are working and help you fine tune goals as you go.
- Builds insight and momentum that can support you for months ahead and for the long term.
You may have fears about sharing your record, but many people feel relieved and supported once they do. Telling someone about your worries and challenges and seeking help is a powerful step toward living a fuller, more resilient life.
