Today I told someone the story about my birth parents. How they met and worked at Jasper Park Lodge as very young adults and fell in love. I told them about my adoption and how special the community of Jasper is to me. When I share that part of my story I am always reminded of how different my heart feels now than it did before I knew them- a shift from profound grief to profound understanding- to knowing, to feeling, to belonging 🤍 Where do you feel a sense of belonging most?

Therapy is dynamic. Sometimes it’s playful, restorative, humorous & freeing. Other times it can be emotional, confusing, exhausting & frustrating. It’s a space where folks can lean in, be seen & heard & have their experiences honoured. How we show up in therapy is unique. It can be creative, flexible & wonderfully connective ✨

Relationships can be sacred, something we delight in and that help us feel our best selves. We can feel profoundly secure, safe and held in our relationships. Some relationships though feel hard and can hurt. We can feel deeply unseen, unheard and uncared for. We wonder how much of ourselves we have to put away to maintain the relationship and what the impact on our sense of self will be.

Sometimes we bend in relationships together and they become better and different. We heal and move in ways that feel meaningful and worthy of the pain and efforts. Other times, we choose to stay in relationship while setting boundaries that allow us to maintain a connection while caring for ourselves, which can feel hurtful for the other person. And sometimes, we end relationships and grieve the loss of what once was, what we imagined, wanted and or needed.

We crave the comfort of relationships but can also suffer in the chaos of them. 🤍
