With socially distancing, I have never found my connection with nature to be more important. My screen times have gone up exponentially through virtual work and trying to keep social connection when I can’t see people i love in person. . My appreciation for life and the environment has already risen a ton from this pandemic too. I find myself outside more, walking and just taking in the view and the beauty around me. I was already plant based and conscientious about my impact... on the environment but now I am seeing how important this conscientiousness is to the longevity of healthy communities. I have never wanted to badly to do a digital cleanse and focus on the beauty around me. . What has this pandemic changed in the way you view the world, your connection to people and nature, and the impact you make on the environment? . #therapistsofinstagram #clinicalcounseling #vancouverhealth #vancouvertherapist #vancouveremdr #vancouverlifestyle #vancouvercounselling #selflove #selfdiscovery #healingjourney #traumarecovery #mentalhealth #traumatherapist #traumatherapy #personalgrowth #neuroplasticity #brainhealth #neuroscience #therapy #selfcare #connection #holdingspace #innerwork #womanswellness #youareworthy #boundaries #covid #covid19 #coronavirus See more

It's so easy for someone to tell you what needs to change or what you need to do but a big factor around change is your own readiness and it is so unique to you. . People think change is so easy but there are many barriers, and to change means opening up a whole bunch of other boxes in life. Change brings about uncertainty, traumas, and grief. Change shakes things up and it's uncomfortable and it is totally within someone's right to not be ready or have the capacity to change... at that point in time. . I work with a lot of people who don't have a desire to change because they are not ready to open everything up or they don't have the stability to. But it is my role to be with them whether or not they want to to change and support them with whatever their goals are. . Are there things that hold you back from change? . #therapistsofinstagram #clinicalcounseling #vancouverhealth #vancouvertherapist #vancouveremdr #vancouverlifestyle #vancouvercounselling #selflove #selfdiscovery #healingjourney #traumarecovery #mentalhealth #traumatherapist #traumatherapy #personalgrowth #neuroplasticity #brainhealth #neuroscience #therapy #selfcare #connection #holdingspace #innerwork #womanswellness #youareworthy #boundaries #changetalk #changetalk #selfgrowth See more

Welcome to my page! . I started this instagram honestly to get better at consistency with posting things and trying to learn about the social media side of instagram but it has been a balance as I am also trying not to be on my phone as much!! . Finding a balance between technology and staying connected online and then staying connected in real life can be a fine line but I find if I start to get frustrated with being on my phone it is so freeing to just put it away and get... outside to walk or go for coffee with a friend. . What do you do to find balance? . #therapistsofinstagram #clinicalcounseling #vancouverhealth #vancouvertherapist #vancouveremdr #vancouverlifestyle #vancouvercounselling #selflove #selfdiscovery #healingjourney #traumarecovery #mentalhealth #traumatherapist #traumatherapy #personalgrowth #neuroplasticity #brainhealth #neuroscience #therapy #selfcare #connection #holdingspace #innerwork #womanswellness #youareworthy #boundaries #ipreview via @preview.app See more

The concept of psychological flexibility is one that I have always been drawn to ever since I started to learn about ACT from my first supervisor. It is the idea that if you have clear values and a direction in mind for your life, that when adversity comes your way, you can continue to move forward and not let it completely derail you. It relates to our ability to move towards the things we care about and not be led astray by passing thoughts or emotions. I like the idea that... as we move through life we can bend and not break when we face struggle. Because at the end of the day, everyone has challenges and everyone struggles, but life is a lot more meaningful if you struggle but know at the end of the day that you're doing things that matter to you. . #therapistsofinstagram #clinicalcounseling #vancouverhealth #vancouvertherapist #vancouveremdr #vancouverlifestyle #vancouvercounselling #selflove #selfdiscovery #healingjourney #traumarecovery #mentalhealth #traumatherapist #traumatherapy #personalgrowth #neuroplasticity #brainhealth #neuroscience #therapy #selfcare #connection #holdingspace #innerwork #womanswellness #youareworthy #boundaries #psychologicalflexibility #act #acceptanceandcommitment #bendnotbreak See more

The chaos of life is inevitable but to maintain stillness within ourselves is a way to be present and have slight control over the way we respond to circumstances in life. . I am not someone who meditates as a mindful practice but what I find helpful to gain stillness is to check in with myself and be present with my emotions and sensations in my body as they can act as a signal to what I may need in that moment. . How do you find stillness in the midst of chaos?... . #therapistsofinstagram #clinicalcounseling #vancouverhealth #vancouvertherapist #vancouveremdr #vancouverlifestyle #vancouvercounselling #selflove #selfdiscovery #healingjourney #traumarecovery #mentalhealth #traumatherapist #traumatherapy #personalgrowth #neuroplasticity #brainhealth #neuroscience #therapy #selfcare #connection #holdingspace #innerwork #womanswellness #youareworthy #boundaries #bemindful #mindfulness #meditation #liveinthenow See more

Does anyone else here have the same problem as me where they buy way too many books before they have even read the ones they have? There are so many incredible books out there in the therapy world to teach us about our minds, our brains and everything in between. . What are some of your favourite books . #emdrtherapy #clinicalcounseling #vancouverhealth #vancouvertherapist #vancouveremdr #Therapistsofinstagram #vancouvercounselling #emdr #selflove #selfdiscovery #healingjourney #traumarecovery #mentalhealth #traumatherapist #traumatherapy #personalgrowth #neuroplasticity #brainhealth #neuroscience #therapy #Interpersonalneurobiology #integrativemind #feelitall #innerwork #connection #grounding #selfregulation #therapybooks #alwaysreading #alwayslearning

It is so common to feel in society like we are not enough and not worthy of goodness. But let me tell you. Everyone is worthy. Everyone deserves love and kindness and care. Everyone deserves compassion and humanity. We are all human. We all have our quirks and we all make mistakes and mess up. And we are all worthy . #emdrtherapy #clinicalcounseling #vancouverhealth #vancouvertherapist #vancouveremdr #Therapistsofinstagram #vancouvercounselling #emdr #selflove #selfdiscovery #healingjourney #traumarecovery #mentalhealth #traumatherapist #traumatherapy #personalgrowth #neuroplasticity #brainhealth #neuroscience #therapy #Interpersonalneurobiology #integrativemind #feelitall #innerwork #connection #grounding #selfregulation

What’s that funny machine you ask?! Well that is a light bar that is used to do EMDR so that my arm doesn’t get so tired and I can focus all my energy on clients! EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing and is a type of therapy that helps you get unstuck from the emotional charge of past memories and traumas that continue to affect our daily life. It is based on the theory that our brains want to heal and work towards optimal functioning but some times heal...ing can be blocked through life experiences that get in the way. It is used for more complex trauma but it can be used for many other things too. My favourite part of EMDR is not eye movements but it’s the learning to ground oneself and find safety through various imagery tools that you can take into your daily life. EMDR is one powerful tool that can help you move towards wellness #emdrtherapy #clinicalcounseling #vancouverhealth #vancouvertherapist #vancouveremdr #Therapistsofinstagram #vancouvercounselling #emdr #selflove #selfdiscovery #healingjourney #traumarecovery #mentalhealth #traumatherapist #traumatherapy #personalgrowth #neuroplasticity #brainhealth #neuroscience #therapy #Interpersonalneurobiology #integrativemind #feelitall #innerwork #connection #grounding #selfregulation #ipreview via @preview.app
