Today we commemorate those who have served during peace, conflict and war, honour this history and express gratitude for our freedoms. #RemembranceDay2020 #RemembranceDay #CanadaRemembers #penticton #okanagan #Canada

I love the first benefit the most!

Repost from Holisticallygrace: Sometimes, all we can do is distract and cope with what we cannot control (after we vote, because we most definitely have control... over that!) Before understanding, awareness or processing can happen we often have to self-soothe and attempt to regulate ourselves. It’s going to be an interesting week...already feeling all the feels. Attempted to watch the news to see what was going on and my body was not having it, automatically felt the chills on my skin. Taking my own words to heart these days and focusing on self-soothing in addition to connecting to those that bring me joy. Take care of yourself and your loved ones, reconnect with your body and stay present through your senses. What are some ways you are staying grounded?

#dbt #dbtskills available for online and in person sessions We have to start somewhere, so let’s start right here, right now and when we understand and have awareness we can choose different responses to the situations and circumstances we are in. #mindfulness #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #penticton #okanagan #marshalinehan #cbt #changeisslow #presentmoment

Creating a deeper sense of awareness, recognizing our thinking and behavioural patterns and using mindfulness to set an intention for change. Learn skills to regulate emotions that make us vulnerable to self sabotage. Leaning into discomfort and tolerating pain rather than acting to rid yourself of it with self harming behaviours. Finding balance in relationships by learning to say no and ask for what you want and need. Hmmmm sounds like skills everyone could use! #dialecticalbehaviortherapy #dbt #mindfulness #evidencebasedtherapy #penticton #okanagan #healthyliving #healthandwellness #marshalinehan #marshalinehanfangirl #handsuptomarshalinehan #videocounselling

Most of us are dealing with difficult and challenging feelings every day right now. The thing about feelings is - they don't last forever! Feel your feels. And then let them go.

Video and in-person sessions available. How to be mindful... non-judgementally, one mindfully and effectively... the art of being present, putting words to your experience in a factual perspective, focusing on one thing at a time and doing what is needed in each moment. #dbt #dbtlittlethings #mindfulness #howskills #dbthowskills #mindfulnesspractice #breakingpatterns #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealth #okanagan #penticton #wellness #cbt #dbt #dialecticalbehaviortherapy #creatingcalm

@vickie_kampe_counsellor video and telehealth sessions available. Link in Bio. All of this can be overwhelming. We are staying at home which seems like we have a lot of time on our hands; but the worries and demands are still here- financial, figuring out a new way to do things (schooling the kids at home for example), not having access to the things we need, worries about our health and the well being of our families and community. A simple 30 second activity t...o get grounded is to check in with all five senses, with a slow deep breath in between each transition. And wriggle you’re toes at the end to notice your feet on the ground. #weareallinthistogether #traumarecovery #collectivetrauma #penticton #pentictoncounselling #pentictoncounsellor #virtualcounselling #cognitivebehavioraltherapy #dialecticalbehaviortherapy #dbt #cbt #emdr #emdrtherapy #brainhealth #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealththerapist #mentalhealthclinician See more

A sacred place... the room where we let down our defences and share inner most thoughts, and emotions and personal experiences. A safe place to be nurtured, reassured, and grow. www.sesa-woruban.com

Oh my goodness- some sweetness

Just like everything else around us is changing, options for counselling has changed. Services for Mental Health treatment have been deemed an essential service during the COVID 19 pandemic. My colleagues at Sesa-Woruban.com have worked hard to allow us to provide an accessible, safe and confidential platform to receive video counselling sessions or telephone counselling. This allows clinical counsellors to provide support and treatment and maintain social distancing measure...s encouraged by our Ministry of Health. We are all in this together. If you haven’t been sleeping well, noticed changes in your mood, appetite and energy, and find yourself feeling stressed and overwhelmed with worry thoughts- counselling is still available to you. www.pentictoncounselling.com See more

Regulate your eating, sleeping and exercise patterns to regulate your mood. #cbt #cognitivebehavioraltherapy #bpd #bpdawareness #dbt #dialecticalbehaviortherapy #therapistsofinstagram #penticton #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealth #bodyhealth #mindhealth #mindfulness #traumarecovery #traumatherapy #healthylifestyle #healthyliving

Bad things happen to everyone on a spectrum of trials, tribulations and trauma. When we fight the reality, and deny that it’s happening, emotions are intensified and it’s hard to move on. We can’t move on until we accept what is happening. #dbt #dialecticalbehaviortherapy #realityacceptance #realityacceptanceskills #cbt #cognitivebehavioraltherapy #traumarecovery #trauma #counsellorsofinstagram #therapistsofinstagram #penticton

#selfcompassion In those moments when it feels like the universe is force against you and it’s the tipping point to giving up, quitting withdrawing, succumbing- it’s in these moments when we can show up for ourselves and give ourselves the calm comforting words our ego/soul is yearning. #selfcompassion #efft #emotionfocusedtherapy #emotionfocusedfamilytherapy #dbt #dialecticalbehaviortherapy #cbt #cognitivebehavioraltherapy #kristenneff #bpd #borderlinepersonalitydisorder #anxietytreatment #depressiontreatment #penticton #traumahealing #trauma #thebodyremembers #therapistsofinstagram
