WORKING IN FAMILY LAW arah!

remote, and we are so glad she did. Jarah brings a calm and positive energy that is refreshing for those who interact with her. Being able to work from home has been very convenient for her, considering she has a newborn to look after. In leading the Finance Department, Jarah coordinates the status of accounts and often communicates with clients about their questions. She jokes that she’s often known as the “finance lady.” Jarah knows she plays an important role in helping our clients seek closure, and she understands that our clients

are going through a rough period. She finds joy in talking through clients’ questions and playing a role in their overall experience. “It’s very satisfying when clients say, ‘Thank you,’ and that we made their day,” says Jarah. Outside the office, Jarah spends a lot of time with her family going on hikes, baking, and reading – though right now, she considers herself more of a book hoarder than a reader. Plus, she is looking forward to her daughter turning 1 soon!

For example, when people are in long-term traumatic situations, depression takes them “out” of themselves, and researchers posit that this numbing effect allows them to survive their daily difficulties, and memories of the period may be less damaging once they escape it. The question, then, is what do these new theories mean about the epidemic of mental illness sweeping America today? At the base level, it indicates that many Americans find themselves in unpleasant living situations, at the least, and hope for a future where that isn’t the case. Perhaps, Porges’ group says, modern people feel trapped in a world where comfort and convenience are the highest priorities. Mass depression is the result. This means that to survive, depression may be our buffer until we can pursue a vastly different way of living — a societal dilemma of the first order, and one we cannot afford to ignore.
