Gaslighting 101

Thanks to @yung_pueblo for this wise and all-true question. We all carry around unhelpful thinking styles, which are often made worse by symptoms of anxiety, worry, or depression. Sometimes, it can be hard to differentiate truth from non-truth, when it comes to our thoughts. Be gentle on yourself. Your mind and its pathways can become new, too. #kwtherapy #traumainformed #monarchcounselling #waterlooregion #kitchenerwaterloo #psychotherapy #anxiety #depression #anxiety #cbt #cognitivebehavioraltherapy #thinkingtraps

Whether we are dealing with intrapsychic confusion, interpersonal conflict, or climate catastrophe, we are all interconnected. Nothing is 'healed', resolved or re-imagined through systems in isolation.

This is such a good analogy of grief. There is no prescription for the amount of time that we’re affected by the loss of someone. If you’re struggling with grief and/or loss, please be gentle and compassionate with yourself. Does your glitter have a shape? A texture? A size?
