When we are visited by anxiety or depression. It can be important to remember this visitor isn't part of our identity.
By leaning into the discomfort of what anxiety or depression looks like, where we hold it in our body and what underlying message is it here to inform us on.
We can start building our capacity to be with ourselves without needing external comfort or distraction.
Trying different practices such as body scan, box breathing, tapping, grounding can be tools anyone of any age can utilize to help regulate their nervous system.
Reminding ourselves we are more then the stories our mind tells us, we get to love all parts and its okay to feel all emotions.
My goal is to restore hope in every session. Eliminating the power imbalance of instuitionalized ways of counselling. But instead holding space where we co construct a relational therapeutic relationship.
Knowing that as the therapist holding space, my job is to find the strengths each person has. For clients to have the autonomy, self determination, and ability to find the answers within.
I believe we all have the ability to self heal despite adversity.
Reflection: What can I offer myself today to come back into my body and embrace the good, the bad and the ugly?
