For those of you who are new to the PSC, we are a non-profit mental heath clinic run by the Department of Psychology at the University of South Carolina. We provide mental health services to children, families, couples and adults, and we perform group, family, and individual therapy.
Winter is here once again, and it is the start of a new year.
Many people see the new year as a time for starting fresh and making those New Year s Resolutions. While change and growth are always important, remember when making those resolutions to keep it simple. Many people, in their efforts to change, set goals that are beyond what can be expected of themselves or others. They then get discouraged early on and fall right back into the habits they were trying to change. While we maythrow away our old calendars at the stroke of midnight, real change and real growth do not happen overnight.
