How do you feel when you see this photo? Just looking at the sunshine can be healing. Or perhaps you don't want to look at anything good right now.... Whatever your reaction is... notice the impact of just a photo! What we take in changes us. That's how psychotherapy works. We spend time in a different resonance field - the one we have with our therapist. In this space you can speak freely and hear reflections and insights on what you have said from someone who isn't involved in your life. COVID-19 has upended everything - family, health, careers, finances. I know you want to meet this challenge with the best of yourself. You need tools, guidance and support to carry you through this time. I left a 15-year career as an equity trader on Wall Street to become a Registered Pscychotherapist. I have helped hundreds of people through personal and professional crises as they move from anxiety to possibility in very challenging circumstances. Book a session and we'll talk.

In therapy we uncover assumptions we are making. Ways of thinking that we learned early and have been reinforced socially our entire lives. I often ask my clients - "is that true?" or "hearing yourself say that - what do you think?" Something that I have noticed since social distancing is that we are making a lot less assumptions these days.... Who would have thought that commercial air travel could pretty much grind to a halt globally over night? What seemed impossible has shown itself to be possible over and over again these past few weeks. It's a lot to process. And it means that in every session with a client we travel a huge amount of distance. Our minds are open, fertile, ready for cultivation. Is this how I want to be with my family? Is this how I want to live? Is this how I want to spend my money? Is this how I treat my body? Is this what I think is important? I have never found my work as rich and rewarding as it has been these past three weeks. This virus is bringing a lot of suffering. And as we isolate, hoping to flatten the curve, we have the potential to make huge strides in a short amount of time. ***** I'd love to be part of the shifts you are ready to make.

Sometimes the beauty is shocking. Amidst all the challenges, much nature is unperturbed...even thriving... I've heard so many people say they are shy to admit how much they are enjoying the time with family, the slower pace, the animal sightings.... This is a complicated time. Sometimes it is hard to sort out how you feel in the midst of all of it. ... It can be helpful to talk all of these complicated things through with someone who isn't a close member of your family and who, as their profession, listens and talks every day. As a therapist I offer tools, guidance and support to help you reduce stress and sort things out. It's no surprise that many successful people are confused right now. Self-isolation has up-ended careers and families and our health. We can find inner calm in the midst of challenging circumstances if we are learn how to care for our nervous systems and access our inner knowing. I left a 15-year career as an equity trader on Wall Street to become a Registered Pscychotherapist. I have helped hundreds of people through personal and professional crises as they mover from anxiety to possibility in very challenging circumstances. I am currently offering online psychotherapy sessions and would be happy to talk with you - email me for a link to my schedule or to learn more.

Most of us don't like to think about our emotions. We apologize for them, suppress them.... The light is shining on whatever isn't working right now. Our suppressions and wounds are lit up for us to see. In this article Caitlin Johnston offers practical advice for working with emotions. ... When we haven't ever worked with our feelings it can feel daunting. I can tell you that it's totally doable. You're human and the things you feel are understandable and natural. Succeeding right now may look different from how succeeding has looked int the past. As Johnston says, "Do the internal work and the external work will follow. This is how we save ourselves." I agree with her. I see it every day with my clients. They face themselves and the world around them changes for the better. Facing ourselves can mean taking some space for self-reflectionor meditation, seeking support from a naturopathic doctor, coach, or psychotherapist, or just going for a walk. Bit by bit we get more comfortable in our own skin. And this is good for everyone.

This circle will hold space for whatever you are feeling right now. Sharing Circles are a structured way of holding space for each other with out advice, solving problems...just listening and honouring. I will facilitate and explain the process before we begin. Message me for the zoom link. I am here for you.

I know that you want to rise to the occasion. And this is a lot right now. In order to do that you need tools, guidance and support to reduce stress during this crisis.... COVID-19 has upended all areas of our lives - work, financial, personal, parenting, health. Stress is everywhere. I believe we can find inner calm in the midst of challenging circumstances if we are taught to care for our nervous systems and access inner knowing. I understand that you are overwhelmed right now. The size of the changes is massive. I left a 15-year career as an equity trader on Wall Street to become a Registered Pscychotherapist. I have helped hundreds of people through personal and professional crises as they mover from anxiety to possibility in very challenging circumstances. Here’s how you do it: 1. Decide you want some help. 2. Book a session. 3. We go deep and figure it out. Book a session or join one of my therapy groups - see details at alison http://crosthwait.com/psychotherapy. So you can stop heading towards burnout and instead find inner calm and vitality to carry you through the weeks and months ahead.

It's all about perspective. It really is. What wasn't working a month ago REALLY isn't working today. ... Our brains are wired in certain patterns. When crisis hits those patterns go into overdrive. This can be stressful for us and the people around us! Anytime you have the same thoughts over and over again you know you are in pattern. You aren't creative - you are stuck. The good news is that we can change our patterns. One way to do this is to talk with someone who can help us see our patterns and shift perspective. When we shift in conversation with them we resonate and our patterning changes. I worked on Bay Street and Wall Street for 15 years before becoming a psychotherapist. I love to help successful people go deep and figure themselves out. I know you care deeply about your family and your career and you want to be your best right now. I would love to help you.
