Anybody else wait 2 hours to see the Canad Inns Christmas lights last night??? We had a great time in a caravan with some of my family. Just enjoying the season the best we can. It’s not perfect and not completely satisfying. No platitudes though- no it’s better than nothing. It all kind of sucks and we’re allowed to be frustrated, sad and lonely. I hope we can all feel love and peace in a time there seems to be none. #happyholidays #lockdownlife #goingtotherapyiscool #winnipegtherapy #canadinnswinterwonderland

Stay home. Limit your contacts. It’s time to save lives and save our health system. #arewestillinthistogether #arewestillinthisnightmare #stayhome #stayhomewinnipeg #covidsucks #goingtotherapyiscool #selfcareisimportant #takecareofyourself

It felt oddly comforting to know a deer mosied through the fresh snow on my yard yesterday. At least SOMEONE came for a visit this Christmas! #quarantinelife #quaratineiskillingme #stupidvirus #mentalhealthmatters #goingtotherapyiscool #imisseveryone

It’s a real tough week. Weeks. Months. Almost year. Exhausted, overwhelmed, scared, sad, angry... are just a few words that come up for me as we lockdown. I’m not sure I believe that we’re in this together anymore but I’ll try my best to be here for you and transition all my work to virtual appointments. Could you please do your best to stay home and not see your friends and family so we can all get to a vaccine alive? I know that’s what I’ll be doing. The next 4 weeks will be lonely and it’s still the right thing to do. Be well everyone. #goingvirtual #stayhome #staysafe #behealthy #covidisolation #goingtotherapyiscool #talktosomeone #winnipegtherapist

Nothing has ever resonated so deeply. Love you @bencapili and love you tacos. I literally had tacos for supper today. #tacosarelife #tacosaregoodformymentalhealth

Thank you to the concerned citizens’ protest against the decisions of Pallister’s government. We are mourning avoidable deaths because of an unwillingness to act before it was too late. I feel unsafe in my city and province. I am so sad for those who have died. Let’s get back to supporting each other. That includes you Mr. Pallister- help us control this.

Anyone else fall prey to starting some foreign hobby during COVID?? How are you passing the time?? Tell me in comments! #puzzlesarehard #yayfornewhobbies #selfcare #selfcareisimportant #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealth #mentalhealthishealth #gototherapy #goingtotherapyiscool #winnipegtherapist

I don’t even know how to write this post. Humbled. Came home to this yesterday. An anonymous thank you and affirmation of my emotional presence with others actually helping. Thank you for seeing me and telling me I matter. Believe it or not, therapists need to hear that we matter. It can be hard when growth is slow, especially in 2020 when it seems at a stand still for some. Tell your people they matter, it goes a long way. #mentalhealthmatters #takecareofeachother #goingtotherapyiscool #selfcareisimportant #youmatter #youarenotalone #winnipegtherapy #winnipegtherapist

Hope you feel as good as I did after watching this about 10 times! You are amazing. I’m proud of you.

Happy 10&10 Winnipeg!! Happily finished my 10k with my super-speedy (nut slowed down a little for me) cheerleader of a partner. Can you please look at my time? If you’re a runner you’ll know it’s a slow time and I’m SO proud of it. I want to say that if you are like me and have felt really intimidated by starting a sport, I get it. . I joined a group last fall to train for a half marathon. My first night in group we all introduced ourselves and all but 4 people in the room h...ad run multiples half marathons (I’m talking like 20 each) and most had done a full. I had done a 10k about 6 years ago. I had spent about a month preparing for the clinic by getting myself into good enough shape to run a 5k non-stop. Still slow but non-stop. So I was actually feeling a little proud of myself. So anyway, we set off on our group run for the evening and I don’t know anyone so I start off in the group but running alone... and slowly, people are passing me. And then I’m at the back of the pack and then with each turn or bend people get further and Reuther ahead until I get to a corner where I actually don’t know which direction to go. I can’t see anyone, they’re too far ahead. And I’m just standing at this corner whipping my head one way and another thinking how stupid I feel for thinking I could do this. I let the speed of others, the fitness of others, the experience of others make me feel worthless, stupid, fat, slow, pathetic. A few months went by and I ran a half marathon. I ran it alone at my own pace with a great big smile. I love my slow pace, I love my atypical running body, I love the powerful feeling I get when I crush a 10k in an hour and 45 minutes!!! . You are powerful. You are brave. You are enough. Go do what you want. You’re going to be awesome at it. #gorunning #selfcare #sundayrunday #mentalhealthmatters #bigbodiescanrun #bringiton See more

Ben and Tundra has birthdays this week!! Everybody wish them a hope this next year is better than the one we’re going through now birthday! (Ben’s the one wearing glasses- not to be confused with the other hairy family member in the picture )

It is a wonderful thing to love deeply. So purposeful. So life giving. So draining at times. My daughter Azazel drains all of my energy, love and patience and somehow at the same time fills my cup to overflowing and makes me so much better every day. She makes me be more loving than I ever have been, more compassionate, more patient, more self-aware, way less selfish, more courageous, and every moment with her is deeply vulnerable. What he’s loving deeply taught you? #youareworthy #someonelovesyou #selfcare #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #goingtotherapyiscool #winnipegtherapy #winnipegcounselling #liminalspacetherapy #emdrtherapy

What are YOU doing for self-care in 2020? Ben and I are running a lot- so proud of him, he’s run 500 kilometres in 2 months!! It’s been empowering and been helping us connect in stressful times. Proud of myself and my body for being awesome. #selfcare #mentalhealthmatters #liminalspacetherapy #winnipegtherapy #winnipegtherapist #therapyiscool

THIS. This is what it looks like to reallocate funds where they belong in our journey to equity. #defundthepolice #socialjustice #wehavetoworktogether

What a beautiful week. So much learning and gratitude for the healing process. #emdr #emdrtherapy #selfcareisgood #winnipegemdr #winnipegtherapist #goingtotherapyiscool

A new leaf on our elephant ear plant. Not sure why I get so excited about new leaves on this one but I just reported it and the first leaf after reporting was enormous so I’m very excited to meet the new one. I also know that this plant has really been beaten up by us- sitting on leaves by accident, a toddler ripping some up, etc. And I always appreciate the resilience I see in plants- even without a green thumb most of them survive! Like me. I’m not always the best at taking care of myself but often the roots I’ve established of self-care and beautiful people around me carry me until I can muster the strength to grow a new leaf. #thanksplants #plantwisdom #elephantearplant #selfcare #goingtotherapyiscool #liminalspacetherapy #winnipegtherapist #winnipegtherapy #winnipegcounselling #wateryourplants

So THIS is happening over the next 5 days!! Can’t wait to share this with people!!

What a good girl. My old girl is especially affectionate today. #therapydog #winnipegdogs #dogsofinsta #liminalspacetherapy #dogsaregoodforyourmentalhealth #hugadogtoday

Feeling particularly proud of my garden and grateful to the transformation fuelled by water and sun. Impatiently waiting for my corn to mature!!!! #adulting #firsttimegardener #mentalhealth #gardentotable #ilovesummer #liminalspacetherapy #goingtotherapyiscool @ Norwood Flats

Nope, we’re not advice-givers. We validate, empower, encourage, lean into the pain, skill build, listen, give empathy, be present, recognize your strengths and more. But we don’t advise you how to live your best life, we ask the questions that help you find your own way through it. #yougotthis #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealth #therapy #goingtotherapyiscool #liminalspacetherapy #winnipegtherapist #winnipegbusinesswomen #winnipegcounselling #winnipegtherapy

What’s the last thing you were giddy about? Do that thing again.

Where are fragile when talking about race? It’s ok to take responsibility because we can’t change a problem we don’t know exists. I’m always working on widening my tolerance and being corrected. Sometimes I still feel my body tighten and excuses start running through my head, normally I take that as a sign that I need to double down on listening and keep my mouth shut. #beanantiracist #blm #whitefragility #socialjusticeeducation #winnipegtherapist #winnipegbusinesswomen #winnipegcounselling #liminalspacetherapy #mentalhealth @bencapili

Another myth?!? Yes, there are unfortunately a lot of misguided ideas about going to therapy. Here’s another one. I hope I don’t have to explain too much but seriously, going to therapy is one of the most courageous things we will ever do in our lives. Therapy is vulnerable and suggests that you are pursuing change in your life. Vulnerability is courageous- don’t believe me? Just ask @brenebrown . She’s been studying it for over a decade. Making changes in your life is also ...courageous. If you have the ovaries to sit down with your emotions and explore some of your struggles, you are brave, strong and bold. #goingtotherapyiscool #goingtotherapyisbrave #brenebrowninspired #liminalspacetherapy #youarebraverthanyouthink #winnipegtherapist #winnipegbusinesswomen #winnipegtherapy #winnipegcounselling #winnipegcounsellor #mentalhealth #askforhelp #askforhelpwhenyouneedit

Understandably, we crave the connection of being understood when someone else gets it. Like how I am in search of eye contact with other moms when I talk about my weekend of frustrating potty training. It’s comforting. This is an important part of feeling understood. However, there are other ways. Most therapists have the experience, education and training to understand the problem, hopefully better than your friend who shares the difficult experience because of one little... thing I keep coming back to: EMPATHY. A therapist without empathy is a cowgirl without a horse, a runner without shoes, an artist without a pencil, a musician without a piano.... you get it. #empathymatters #goingtotherapyiscool #winnipegtherapist #winnipegcounsellor #liminalspacetherapy #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #winnipegbusinesswomen #youareawesome

Ever tried to talk to a friend, partner or family member about a problem?? Let me guess what they said: 1. They were totally in your side and didn’t challenge you to see the situation from a different perspective. 2. Interrupted you to talk about their own problem. 3. Started a sentence with At least... 4. Tried to put a silver lining on your pain. ... 5. Stared at their phone the whole time and when you stopped talking said yeah. 6. Advised you to do something that would make your life a lot harder. The problem with people who know and love you is that they’re over invested and too emotionally involved. Yes, your therapist gets involved and feels emotionally connected AND they’re trained to provide perspectives that you aren’t able to access on your own. Therapists are trained to provide EMPATHY. Empathy is life changing, as my partner says, there is no sentence more healing than for someone to say me too. That is empathy. That is healing. That is therapy. #healingjourney #counselingiscool #liminalspacetherapy #winnipegtherapy #winnipegtherapist #empathymatters #selfcare

Celebrating Juneteenth knowing we have a long journey ahead and a long journey to celebrate already behind us. Thank you to so many black heroes of justice and white allies. #juneteenth #blm #socialjustice #beanally #whitesilenceiswhiteviolence @ Winnipeg, Manitoba

Thank you @justice4blackliveswinnipeg for organizing this protest against police violence towards BIPOC folx. Consider signing the petition here: http://chng.it/2zk25Hjk2Y

Good Evening. As we hold our breathe in anticipation of a response resulting from what America is asking for, I encourage you to take action. We are limited in what we can do- we cannot take a short trip down to Minneapolis to join in protesting the police brutality happening daily in American cities; we cannot cross any borders right now. ... We can, however, provide what is desperately needed- bail outs for protestors imprisoned for standing up for what is right and suppl...ies to carry on with the fight. ... Consider donating to Minneapolis Freedom Fund to help with bail outs or any of the four charities on the last slide to help with supplies. I understand money’s tight right now, just offering ideas to those who don’t know where to go to help. ... White folx, If you can’t help financially, contribute by educating yourself about white fragility and your role as an ally. Consider how people of colour need to to use your voice to demand change even here in Winnipeg. ... #lovenowpeacelater #justiceforgeorgefloyd #georgefloyd #socialchange #blacklivesmatter #beanally @ Winnipeg, Manitoba See more
