When you reach a stage.... (~an excerpt from my new book, 'Hearticulations')

Now, more than ever, we need to challenge the stigma of what Anxiety looks and feels like. It can manifest as a physical sensation, depression, loneliness, agitation, frustration, burnout, feeling stuck, or any other experience. With the ongoing tensions of the world, and the upcoming winter months, it is absolutely normal to be experiencing anxiety. The world we live in is new for all of us. Even if you still have your job, even if you are surrounded by loved ones, even with... so many things to be grateful for, anxiety is a very normal physiological response to uncertainty, the unknown, and uncontrollable circumstances that are a natural consequence of being human. If you feel ‘off’ in ANY way, honor the sensation. It’s okay to feel not okay. #intrinsicpsychology #yyc #yycliving #yycnow #yyclife #yycpsychologist #yycpsychology #anxiety #normalizeanxiety #pandemic #selfcare #physiology #selflove #vulnerability #yycmentalhealth #endthestigma

One of Intrinsic Psychology’s psychologists is part of a cool new project! Check it out: The University of British Columbia and Thrive Health have partnered to deliver a research-based happiness and well-being program that was tailored specifically to combat the rising mental health challenges related to the COVID-19 pandemic and public health responses, such as quarantine and physical distancing. The ENHANCE well-being program teaches the principles and skills that have been... shown across decades of research to improve overall health and well-being. The program offers interactive resources and activities to boost people's happiness and well-being in their daily life. The program also includes weekly podcasts featuring expert guest speakers who discuss the science and effective implementation of these principles and skills in people's daily life. https://www.thrive.health/sign-up-enhance

Peep that geotag. We’re back, friends. Wowza. What a day, and what a feeling seeing New York City again after 5 months away. More on this, but for now, I give y...ou your caption. If you hide, shrink, distort, shape shift, or try to be any version of yourself that you are not, your system can never truly trust that the other person is choosing you. When we do the above, our system can never be grounded in knowing that another loves us...as we are...all of our parts. The extent to which we allow ourselves to be seen, the extent to which we bring ourselves forward fully exposed, is the extent to which another being actually has a chance of fully loving us (and us knowing that we are fully loved.) Of course it takes safety, security, and our discerning selves to know when it’s okay to be revealed, but when we choose that, we can learn to drop the walls. Stop fitting into the box you think someone else wants. Trust that there are humans who can love you and choose you as you are. Bring your heart forward. Bring your story forward. Bring your honest self forward and give your heart a chance to rest peacefully. #mindfulmft
