Compare yourself with you, nobody else. Accept where you are.

Love this story about how Leo the cat taught his new human to love himself.

This is a terrific podcast! "There is a natural preference in our system to be well, and given the opportunity and the appropriate circumstances the system itself will say 'oh right - I know where I want to go'". Sebern Fisher talks here about the fundamental shift in how we think about mental health, and how Neurofeedback plays a role in the spectrum of care moving forward. Worth a listen!

Great link and recommendations regarding seniors’ mental health during Covid:

Dear community, We want you to know that we at East Vancouver Counselling and Blooming Brains stand in solidarity with Black Lives Matter, Idle No More, and ot...her local and international racial justice movements. We acknowledge that in Canada we are not immune to the problems of systemic racism, white supremacy, historical oppression, and police brutality and we felt it was important that we make a statement about this because we cannot allow silence to imply ambivalence on this critically important issue. As an organization, we support individuals, couples and families in their mental health and personal growth journeys, and in this way our goals and values are inseparably tied to the rights of all persons to security, health and freedom. We recognize that systemic racism and discrimination is woven into every aspect of society and profoundly impacts our clients’ and community’s mental health, emotional wellbeing, and nervous system health. It is our individual and collective responsibility to ensure that we continue to educate ourselves about the best ways to support people through these challenges and work to eliminate systemic racism in our organization and community. We are aware this work is ongoing. We commit to listening and learning from BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour) communities who are the experts in what their communities need. Feedback is key to our ability to recognize and repair our inevitable and often unaware collusion with systemic racism and we welcome and value opportunities to recognize when we have made mistakes. We understand that it is our job to be humble, listen, and do better. In solidarity and with love, The East Vancouver Counselling and Blooming Brains Teams

Hugs and touch! So good to get some guidance on how to safely hug our loved ones - it is so important for our social connections!

This is going on for so many of us now:

There’s a pandemic.

The struggle is real:

Happy Mother’s Day!
