Query:

I am working on a story for Huffington Post and am looking to
connect with some black therapists. Would love your take on how
you personally deal with racial trauma/PTSD/anxiety.

So the story would be advice driven. We like to do these stories
that are kind of in the vein of "see, even therapists who seem
to have all the mental health answers have to deal with things
too" and make them servicey and advice driven so that people can
pick up some tips to implement in their own lives.

So I would love for some black therapists to give me some
examples on how they deal with these issues.

Each tip will be 3-5 sentences from an expert with a blurb on
what they do, how it works, why it works, and how they've found
success implementing this into their own life so that others can
do the same.

So example:

Stop and take a few breaths: Whenever I get anxious or find
myself confronting something racially traumatic the first thing
I do is take a breath. I use this technique -- breath in for
... . seconds ... . This has helped me navigate situations like
... . and ... and ... and has been a game changer because
of...

Here are a few examples of past stories in this realm so you can
get an idea of the style:

I will need many experts on this and due to time frame will need
email submissions by Wednesday.

Thanks in advance!

63) Summary: Retirement lifestyle ("bucket list") planning

Name: Amanda Pell Siege Media

Category: Lifestyle and Fitness

Email: query-ax1k@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Siege Media

Deadline: 6:00 PM EST - 15 June

Query:

Looking for life coaches, wealth managers or similar who have
worked with near-retirement age individuals to give some insight
on the value of "bucket list" or lifestyle planning in
retirement.

Some prompt questions (can answer one/a few/all):

1. Retirement is often accompanied by depression owing to the
major change in routine, a loss of built-in socialization that
comes from working in an office, a struggle to find purpose,
etc. Planning your retirement lifestyle ahead of time is a major
key to facilitating a smooth transition that's beneficial for
the retiree's mental/emotional/social health. Do you have any
experience with clients/individuals who struggled with these
issues (or clients who successfully avoided these issues through
advanced planning)? Can you describe the situation?

2. Many people think of a bucket list as being a list of
thrill-seeking or adventure activities, but in reality, a
retirement bucket list can be as high-key or low-key as the
individual writing it. Have you ever had any clients who spent
their retirement getting very into a particular hobby or
lifestyle that we wouldn't normally think of as being a "bucket
list" item? Can you describe the situation(s)?

3. What are some of the most fun, unusual, or interesting ways
you've seen a client spend their retirement?

4. Can you tell me about a time when a person had a retirement
goal they didn't think was possible but that you helped them
accomplish? How did you do it?

5. Is there anything else you think is
important/interesting/valuable to note about retirement
activity/lifestyle planning?

Requirements:

Any retirement-related career expertise, including/not limited
to:

- life coach - therapist/counselor - wealth manager/financial
planner - employee/coordinator at a community organization
dedicated to retiree/senior issues
