If you’re feeling “off”, try this.

Whether you’re working with a therapist, talking with a loved one, or journaling on your own, there’s one thing you can do when you’re feeling like the weight of the world is too much: name it.

This is something I’ve experienced many times in session with my clients, especially when it comes to coping with bad news about the world or our own communities. Instead of feeling bummed out whenever someone brought it up, I found comfort in the sense of shared experience.

Holding space for the disappointment and disheartenment of others softened my own. Seeing other faces reflect my emotions reminded me that we’re not alone.

If you’re looking to delve deeper into this with 1:1 therapeutic support in Alberta, reach out to book a session with me.

New offering 🌟 Remote Clinical Supervision for Registered Psychotherapists in Ontario

You don’t have to do it alone. Supervision gives us a space to slow down and become curious about what is happening in the therapy room: what you notice in yourself, how you are responding to a client, what is happening in the therapeutic relationship, and where the work might be deepened.

This is where I come in: using an experiential approach, I aim to support you in a collaborative relationship of mutual trust and respect, while giving you specific, constructive feedback for you to integrate into your work.

👉 CRPO recognizes clinical supervision as an important part of professional development. For RP (Qualifying) registrants and RPs who have not yet met the requirements for independent practice, ongoing clinical supervision is required. RPs who have achieved independent practice may also choose supervision to support their professional growth, competence, or development in a new area of practice.

If you spend the day thinking about what you “should” be, or what you “should” do, or what you “should” have done, I have good news for you:

That is not your voice.

This is not something innate we’re born with: it’s a learned message. Maybe we grew up with someone who constantly told us this. Maybe it was an indirect lesson, because this toxic messaging is ingrained in our culture.

Knowing this is a gift: it means we can begin to separate that voice from ourselves and listen for our own instead. And, hopefully, that voice will be a little kinder.

If you’re a young therapist, this one is for you ❤️

I know you want to be there for your clients. I know people come to us with wounds and heavy stories, and we want to be able to offer some relief. I know you take pride in being able to push through. I’ve been there.

And so I know that, if we’re not careful, there comes a point when our body says “stop”. When that happens, we’re just not able to show up for others the way we were used to, or the way they need.

That’s why I’m a firm believer in the revolutionary idea that taking care of ourselves, listening to our needs, and setting boundaries actually allow us to show up for our clients in a much, much better way.

During your therapy session, you describe something that came up in between appointments, and your therapist asks how you’re feeling. You reply with a perfunctory “Oh, I’m fine”, or maybe “I’m not so good”. Sounds familiar?

There’s nothing wrong with that, but I want to invite you to dig deeper next time and find what your body is saying at that moment.

This is somatic awareness: the conscious perception of your body’s sensations, emotions and reactions. This mindful way of tuning in allows us to pause, focus on the present moment, reflect, and reconnect with our body, which can foster a deeper understanding of ourselves.

Somatic awareness is at the core of Somatic Experiencing, a type of body-based therapy that can be particularly beneficial to people who have experienced trauma. But I think we can all benefit from reconnecting with your bodies by practicing somatic awareness.

Will you try it at your next session?

Unpopular opinion: You don't have to put others over yourself… even if you’re a therapist.

We all grow up with some major societal messages about boundaries, which are mitigated or aggravated by our histories and identities, like:

❌ My productivity is more important than my health.
❌ What I can do is more important than who I am.
❌ Putting myself first is selfish.

Therapists are not exempt from that, and it affects the way we work.

As a supervisor for provisional psychologists and someone who experienced the long-term consequences of not listening to my body, I like to encourage therapists to believe something different.

Setting boundaries that are aligned to your needs and values is not selfish; rather, it can help you stay connected with yourself while also connecting with your counselling clients over the long term. And that, to my, is valuable.

đź’¬ What are your thoughts about this? Have you ever struggled setting boundaries with clients?

Mood, mental health, ADHD & dyslexia diagnostic assessments at Embodied Psychology ✨

I’m continuing to offer assessments through 2026!

👉 How are assessments different from 1:1 therapy? Unlike therapy, this is a time-limited process that doesn’t require a previous therapeutic relationship. I’ll explore your history with you, ask questions and offer different measures to help clarify patterns and solidify our conclusions.

👉 What is my approach to assessment? Grounded in my ongoing commitment to feminist, anti-oppressive, relational, and somatic practice, this is a collaborative process rather than a top-down expert model. If there are cultural or identity-specific considerations you want centred, I will hold that with respect. I also work under supervision to provide ethical, high-quality assessment.

If you’re interested in exploring whether this might be a good fit for you, please reach out via DM or email at [email protected]
