I have been sharing this opportunity with many clients! Check it out if it speaks to you!

Highly recommend Tara and engaging in an intensional practice of compassion for self and others. Check out this free resource.

Really really really enjoying this book. Reading selfhelp books can be helpful however, without deep and compassionate personal processing, change rarely happens nor is it sustainable. I value how this psychologist sees the world, our uniquely created realities and the family systems that have shaped them. ... I have recommended the book Doing the Work to many friends, family members and clients who are in alignment with these ways of noticing and engaging with ourselves first, then others. If you are someone who is meshed to traditional ways of knowing and the medical model- this book may not be for you. All relationships are driven by the most important relationship of all... the relationship with the self.

There is always a reason why we are the way we are and do the things we do, and when it comes to anger, the reason is usually pain. Understanding anger is key in the work I do with workplace leaders, with couples and individuals who are working for more peace in their lives. How do angry leaders affect their teams, their families and communities? How does anger affect productivity, creativity and connection? ... If a leader is unable to admit that they are using anger to control others then they are likely having a very significant and negative impact on the people they lead and the overall culture of the organization. Leaders with low levels of consciousness about their own and others emotions are dangerous and a source of much pain for themselves and their employees. Anger spreads to families and into communities. This solution is always an individual one but many will not accept this- it is always someone else’s fault. #Leaders #Leadership #AngerFactor #SocialEmotionalLearning #WorkPlaceHealthAndSafety #PsychologicalHealthAndSafety #Education

Met this lovely healer from across the pond. Check out her accessible strategy for grounding anytime and where. When I was just staring my career in counselling in my 20’s I avoided breathing techniques- I felt weird and resisted them.... I have learned over the years that breath is key. Perhaps give it a try?

No is a full sentence. . . . .... . . Resenting others for what you are giving or what they are doing could be related to your ability to set clear boundaries for yourself. Get curious and think deeply about why you may be feeling resentment and if you are creating it yourself. Blaming others and staying in angry is a strategy of disconnection and is much easier than taking responsibility for our own actions. Explore your own behaviour with self compassion and curiosity. Find your answers within. #resentment #mentalhealth #addiction #no #boundaries #authentic #selfcare See more

Here are some helpful strategies. Becoming aware of how these show up in your daily life is the FIRST step. I work on all of these on the daily!... Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow, it empties today of its strength. Corrie Ten Boom

Anger is a signal and one worth listening to. Our anger may be a message that we are bing hurt, that our rights are being violated, that our needs or wants are ...not being adequately met, or simply that something is not right. Our anger may tell us that we are not addressing an important emotional issue in our lives, or that too much of our selfour believes, values, priorities and ambitiousis being compromised in a relationship. Our anger may be a signal that we are doing more and giving more than we can comfortably do or give. Or our anger may warn us that others are doing too much for us at the expense of our own competence and growth. Our anger can motivate us to say no to the ways in which we are defined by others, and yes to the desires and demands of our own authentic self. See more

A topic often covered on the daily in therapy... co-dependence. "Do you feel responsible for other peopletheir feelings, thoughts, actions, choices, wants, needs, well-being, and destiny? Do you feel compelled to help people solve their problems or by trying to take care of their feelings?... Do you find it easier to feel and express anger about injustices done to others than about injustices done to you? "Do you feel safest and most comfortable when you are giving to others? Do you feel insecure and guilty when someone gives to you? Do you feel empty, bored, and worthless if you don’t have someone else to take care of, a problem to solve, or a crisis to deal with? Are you often unable to stop talking, thinking, and worrying about other people and their problems? Do you lose interest in your own life when you are in love? Do you stay in relationships that don’t work and tolerate abuse in order to keep people loving you? Do you leave bad relationships only to form new ones that don’t work, either?" https://tinybuddha.com//overcoming-codependency-break-cy/

Sins of the mother... When the nurturing relationship was not so nurturing... this article has some helpful ideas for navigation. https://tinybuddha.com//the-unexpected-impact-of-growing/

This struck home with a few of my people as it did me. Two of my male clients just lost their moms on the same day and in the same province. Their pain was palpable but so was their joy. There is duality in everything. When I asked them each if they could share with me who their mother was, they lit up like a Christmas tree and the stories of loving connection flowed. Tell your loved ones what you need to tell them. Yes, it is hard as hell sometimes but the practice of courage will strengthen you and those around you.
