The particular tools that can help us will vary depending on who we uniquely are. For example, if we are action-oriented, we may need “tools” to help us slow down, take time outs and build in meditation and reflection. If we are analytical and "in our head", we may need to get out of the house, distract ourselves, and “just do” something. Similarly, our life stage and particular circumstances will also determine our choice of tools. If I am widowed and grieving, I may have different needs than the person who has been divorced for several years. If I am actively dating, I may have different needs than someone who is a “chosen single.”Although you can do a lot on your own, it’s important to recognize when professional help can be helpful or necessary.
