Wellmed presents a webinar: Can we honestly say that we love ourselves?
February 23, 2023, 11:00 am - 12:00 pm PST

In light of Valentine’s Day, we all need to truly get our “love priorities” in order. There will be those of us who are feeling happy and thankful for the romantic partners in our lives. Then there will be those of us who are struggling in our relationships, so the thought of Valentine’s Day might make us regretful of those loving feelings that are no longer present. Others might start feeling sad around this time of year, feeling out of place due to their single status. However, being single or in a struggling relationship doesn’t make you lesser. In fact, it can be an opportunity to show yourself some love on Valentine’s Day. In this “love hour", Dr. James Huysman, PsD, LCSW, will provide self-love tips to help you feel better that apply not only to Valentine’s Day season but throughout the year to keep your wellness at a high and your woes at bay.
