Connectivity Mental Health

My daughter’s counsellor suggested she go on a date with herself. I like the idea. I recommend it to everyone who needs some peace. #cultuslake #restandrefresh

The hilarious and frustrating ineffectiveness of getting mad at children. #parenting #children #mouthsofbabes #learningcurve

**update** It was nice and relaxing and I definitely feel more chill afterward, even after being home for almost 2 hours. I wasn’t fidgety or claustrophobic and I even started to drift off a few times. Biggest learning for me is how much tension I carry in my body. I kept noticing how tight I was holding different parts of my body. I’m heading back for round 2 next week. We’ll see if it’s any different. Has anyone ever done this? How was it? I'm going for my first time today..., thanks to a Christmas gift from my thoughtful wife : https://www.healthline.com/health/sensory-deprivation-tank See more

Ugh. I breathe a lot. Like, a lot. Is this a new thing to be self-conscious of? #audiobooksofinstagram #teddyhitme #adhd #memoir

Who could use some more affordable help? Connectivity Counselling is trying to meet that need in the community by offering ongoing sessions with a Masters of Counselling intern, Jessica Sharma for the low fee of $30/session. A social work graduate from UFV, Jessica has lots of experience working with youth and adults and can be a helpful resource as everyone struggles with the current climate of unpredictability. Please share with everyone you know. Because sessions can be held in-person or online, your location is not a barrier. Contact us if you are interested.

Finally getting around to recording the audiobook version of my book, Teddy Hit Me. Not sure of the timeline but it’s a goal to have it ready for release before March. #adhd #audiobooksofinstagram #memoir #teddyhitme #tedleavitt #author #knowyouraudience #readtheroom

Cynism and skepticism are related but distinct. Skeptics believe there’s more to the story. Cynics believe someone is hiding it from them. Skeptics want to know more. Cynics think they already know it all. You can be a happy skeptic. You can’t be a happy cynic. #optimism #skepticism #cynicism #positivity #science #curiosity #thinkingaboutstuff

If you have ADHD, then you know how much effort and willpower it took me to just to cut up, edit, and post the first six segments of my recent ADHD Webinar. If you don't have ADHD, you will never know. https://www.youtube.com/playlist

Please share everywhere you can! This is a great opportunity to get quality help that would not typically be available. Those who cannot afford counselling in private practice settings are often left on long-waitlists for free government services. This is a chance to skip that line for a very minimal cost.

Guess who’s back with part 2: https://www.family360podcast.com/ep-26-ted-leavitt-adhd-no/

It’s one of the longest losing streaks in history. So don’t bother. This is not to say that debate is pointless. Those who know me know that I love to debate. But I love debate when it is fueled by curiosity, not dogma. #debate #curiosity #bekind

Connectivity Counselling is more than just a name. It is a philosophy informed by science and experience. Philosophy Many of us struggle to explain our own beha...vior, thoughts, and feelings. When we struggle to understand something, we struggle to control it. This leaves us feeling powerless and for most people, powerlessness is associated with danger, pain, and fear. This leaves us constantly trying to explain what is going on around us. However, if we do not have all of the information we need, we are often left guessing (and usually our guesses are wrong). The philosophy of Connectivity Counselling is that information is power. By increasing knowledge and understanding of how things work, we increase our ability to make changes where change is needed. Science Our environmental and interpersonal experiences become internalized, not only impacting the structure and function of the brain, but in many ways determining that structure and function. Over time, the brain can become confused, connecting ideas, experiences, and emotions that should not be connected. The process of therapy and education is the process of identifying how these things have become connected, disconnecting them if necessary, and connecting things that should be connected. The name Connectivity Counselling serves as a constant reminder of that process. Experience Many times in my life, I asked that oft-repeated question, Why me? Many times in my life, that question seemed to be answered quite forcefully, though the answer often came years later. Experiences that initially caused pain eventually led to learning and that learning finally led to the ability to help someone else. The idea of the interconnectedness of all things proposes that everything happens because something caused it to happen and that we all play a role in the giant system of existence. It is my goal, through Connectivity Counselling, to help you turn the pain of the past into the promise of the future. I know that sounds corny, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t true. #counselling #mentalhealth #helping #connectivity #interconnectedness #science #philosophy #experience #counsellor #therapist #rcc #bcacc
