As I discovered this enchanting Abbaye in Ireland, I paused to reflect on the protective power of self-love. In this video, I distinguish the cognitive appraisal of one's worth from the intentional, active experience of fondness towards oneself, AKA self-love. The latter warrants close and deep attention as it can help shield against the damage caused by other people's hatred. If you want to be inspired and become more proficient in the art of cherishing the unique dimensions of your being, watch my newly released Dr G's Dandelion Monologues.

Feeling powerless, disappointed, or lonely ? Developing the dimension of you that likes to play and laugh may be a soul-lifting remedy. In this new episode of Dr G's Dandelion Monologues, I shares reflections on the subject. And a playful companion highlights my sentiment by joyfully, playfully wagging his tail in the background. What are the playful skills that have enhanced your moment ? And how do you intend to expand them ?

The study of the self, the work on the self is a lifelong task. while it is the purpose of life according to many thinkers, it never reaches completion. As a therapist, I am aware that a lot of the healing takes place beyond the confines of a therapeutic space because the wounds cannot always be directly eliminated. Instead, striving for more peace by focusing on the direct or felt experience might help finding the comfort one often seeks in psychotherapy. Go live your life, fulfill your dreams, connect with loved ones, and fill your days with joy and laughter.

Is disorganization really a bad thing ? Plus, what do we consider ''organized'' ? Is it always a good thing or can it be limiting ? In my recent Dr G's Dandelion Monologues, I share examples of harmony that can still exist despite apparent disorganization. Again, it is a matter of keeping one's perspective broad, putting an element (such as disorganization) into a broader context, and finding the positive by making parallels between what we tend to disapprove of in ourselves and the natural world.

Often, what we call happiness comes without fanfare. In this outdoor meditative moment, I invite you to reflect on the experience of happiness, even though many are hesitant to use this word. What are the parameters that can lead to a sense of fulfillment ? What other experiences (such as inner peace, joy, and freedom) could be portals to that state of being ? If you are interested in knowing more, watch this latest episode of my Dr G's Dandelion Monologues.

Have you ever felt uneasy in someone's presence despite positive words coming out of their mouth ? Have you felt perplexity during an interaction due to the person's demeanor not matching their speech ? In this episode of Dr G's Dandelion Monologues, Caroline Giroux invites us to become fluent in the language of energy, because unlike spoken language that can be untruthful, energy doesn't lie. Next time you interact with someone you suspect isn't fully authentic, pay attention to the energetic reading of that person and trust your felt experience.

Expressing vulnerability seems like a process fraught with risks in a world where many still exploit others' vulnerabilities. But once we have the opportunity to access safe spaces, vulnerability becomes a way to connect and expand. Watch my new video from Dr G's Dandelion Monologues to fuel your reflection about your own relationship to vulnerability.

If you have ever experienced disappointment or disconnection from a lack of attunement by others around you, this video content from Dr G's Dandelion Monologues might be the reminder to give yourself permission to feel what you feel. In sum, Caroline Giroux encourages you to develop the habit of validating and approving of yourself rather than staying stuck in a disempowering position while waiting for others to do that for you.

Dr G's Dandelion Monologues guide the audience in accessing their resilience or so-called ''dandelion nature''. This video is a reminder of our energetic nature and why it is important to pay attention to what we do for ourselves on a regular basis so our emotional states are in the high vibrational frequencies as often as possible. By raising your vibration through healthy diet, dancing, or a fulfilling sexuality, you can protect yourself more optimally from inflammation, depression and other illnesses. And even when some diseases do occur, working towards raising our vibration can help us cope with the discomfort.
