Mood Smoothie is a site where people can go for ideas about how to smooth out the emotional highs and lows of everyday existence. The “smoothie” part of my project’s title speaks to the idea of approaching life with a spirit of creativity and calmness, or smoothness, in mood. Mood Smoothie is a means for me to share insights I have acquired as a clinical psychologist. Working as a mental health professional has come with the privilege of earning individuals’ trust and listening to their stories and struggles. This has both enriched my understanding of humanity as well as given me a sense of purpose in helping others. While I can have this kind of relationship with only a tiny segment of the population, I believe that everyone should have access to information for enhancing emotional well-being without long wait lists and financial constraints that might limit access to treatment. I am also a believer in prevention. For instance, in working with families over the years, I have seen the power that parents have in preventing the typical challenges of childhood from becoming insurmountable problems. Also, I believe that while many people will need more formal treatment than can be provided by self-help, therapy does not need to last a lifetime. Therefore, prevention can also take the form of maintaining coping skills after treatment has been completed.
