Georgian Waters Counselling

Only 5 more spots! In a time of lockdown, we all could use a little more self-compassion! Don't know what self-compassion is? It's this radical idea that we can be kind to ourselves.

Please reach out!

Weighing the pros and cons!

Only 4 spots left for tonight- sign up!

Hair on your head thinning? Lost the outer 1/3 of your eyebrows? It could be a lot of things but so often it is anemia!

There is help. Reach out! #anemia #irondeficiency #fatigue #vitamins #womenshealth #ironsupplement #supplements #hairloss #thyroid Powered by @tagomatic

At the root of childhood trauma is not being seen, heard, or able to authentically express oneself. Without parents/caretakers who show us how to emotionally re...gulate (process difficult emotions + how express our needs then get them met, we begin to cope through taking on different roles. These roles become unconscious manifestations of our childhood experience. The caretaker: typically comes from codependency/enmeshment dynamics. Feels a sense of identity + self worth through neglecting ones own needs to meet another persons. Views others as a means to feel wanted. The overachiever: attempts to seen, heard + valued through external achievement as a way to cope with low self worth. Views others as a way to source self esteem. The underachiever: attempts to stay small/unseen/below authentic potential due to fear of criticism or shame that was once experienced. Views others as threatening + distrusting. The rescuer/protector: ferociously attempts to rescue or protect those around them as an attempt to heal from the time that they were vulnerable + in need of protection. Views others as helpless, incapable, + dependent. The life of the party: the always happy/always cheerful comedic person. Never shows pain. Never vulnerable. Was likely shamed for their emotional state in childhood. Views others as a way to demonstrate that they are ok. The always available one: drops everything nearly 24/7. Neglects all needs. Was modeled self sacrifice + codependency patterning. Views others as a way to demonstrate they’re both good + selfless. The hero worshiper: has childhood wounding from caregivers that has not been resolved. Views parents/family as super human, perfect, + without fault. Rejects needs, desires, + autonomy to fulfill family system role. Views others as a way to show what perfection looks like. Any resonate? #selfhealers

Beautiful healing using IFS techniques guided through virtual counselling all summed up in a comic! Way better than reading a journal article! Brings it all together

Be kind to yourself. Be gentle. Be compassionate. We are in this together. Reach out if you are finding it hard to practice self compassion!

Happy Mother’s Day to everyone- mama earth, inner mother, all the mamas!
