POV ~ There is no doubt that the personal details of our lives are unique and specific (nuanced) to us,

however the extended reality is that we are all humans facing similar challenges, and that:

We all experience loss, pain, suffering, & stress;

We all feel cut off from others at times because of the personal details of our own suffering;

We all retreat into isolation at times, thinking that we are alone in our extremes of life experience.

The key is to develop an awareness that we are more similar to others than we realise,

& that it is possible to have hope that we will be seen and understood,

and that we can learn to SEE others more clearly too.

If challenging experiences are a natural part of being human, and this common humanity is a key component in connectedness between self and others, then

common humanity is a bridging of the gap between You and Me,

and

🕊️ ALL OF US 🕊️.

If you find it difficult to embrace yourself in the concept of common humanity send me a DM with the words

POV: Early life experience of deep emotional wounding is a common theme in psychological counseling and therapy.

Unaddressed, deep emotional wounds can lead to lifelong problematic coping patterns, life-dissatisfaction and a decline in mental health.

If this describes YOU,

and you feel like you are swirling in a whirlpool of emotional pain,

then NOW might be the best time to reach out for support.

Although know that it’s never too early or too late to do so.

Also know that no matter when you decide to reach out , it can feel inconvenient to go
diving deeper into your whirlpool (because often that is what we will do) … yet to not ever do so could present a greater risk to your mental health in the long term.

Ask yourself,

Could now be as good a time as any to lean into exploring this swirling whirlpool of emotional pain?

If so, I’m here to assist you with a new chapter in your story of mental health recovery and/or mental health maintenance.

Take care of your mental health. 🌻

The key to meaningful change is to give yourself permission to initiate a process of change,

then sticking with it,

with persistence and consistency,

even when it challenges you.

Even when you have to dig deep to locate any compassion for yourself.

I’m here to assist.

Take care of your mental health. 🌻

POV: I’m tethered and it never gets boring.

At least not for me.
Even though it’s nearly 40 years of a career dedicated to human services, in one way or another.

Even though 23 years of those years have been dedicated to service as a psychologist in solo private practice.

Even though I’m now in my sixth decade of life, still observing humanity through seasoned eyes of acquired knowledge gleaned through these decades of my own life experiences, and the life experiences of other precious humans.

Even though it has been so very challenging at times.

Even though the landscape of human services, and psychology services has adapted to a modern world of technology advancement.

In amongst it all I keep observing myself, and others, adapting to meet the circumstances of the current era,

and now more than ever,

I feel deeply tethered to the experience of sitting with another human who holds an intention to explore their individual & common complexities of this human life.

I feel deeply tethered to honouring all the vibrant colours, shades of grey, and the dark corners that appear in the process of being human.

I feel deeply tethered to finding meaningful connection in our evolving common humanity.

I feel deeply tethered to encouraging you to lean into your own emotional tethering of protecting and maintaining your mental health.

Side note : For the purpose of this post, TETHERING refers to linking with and connecting to; Sharing a connection that is essential for a secure-functioning relationship within self, and with others.

Human life challenges can, and often do present a risk to mental health.

However it doesn’t need to be this way.

It is possible to protect your mental health in the context of building your capacity for acceptance, utilising your personal strengths, and moving forward with problem-solving … and knowing when to really lean-in to each of these areas.

I’m here to assist.

Quoting Judith Lewis Herman - Psychiatrist and researcher of complex trauma and recovery.

Powerful insights for the world to reflect on right now … ESPECIALLY NOW.

Relevant to anyone who has experienced threats to life or bodily integrity, or a close personal encounter with violence and death.

The deep healing of trauma occurs in the context of a sensitive and attuned community.

Let’s all be that for our individual and collective mental health. ❤️‍🩹

If you resonate with this ⤴️,

then I have a few more questions for you ⤵️.

Have you ever really experienced the rich textures that rise to the surface when you lean into the depths of your own psyche, rather than measuring yourself against everyone else?

No? Then it might be time to explore the power of expanding your SELF-AWARENESS .

Have you ever wondered how you can be way more supportive of yourself?

Yes? Then it might be time to learn the skill of lathering yourself in a soothing balm of SELF-COMPASSION.

Have you ever admired other people who seem truly comfortable in their own skin and stand firmly in their own human existence.

Yes? Then it might be time to immerse yourself in your own journey to SELF-ACCEPTANCE.

Often, these are the processes of psychological therapy if you are curious enough and I’m here to assist.

Let’s get together and explore some ways in which you can nourish your internal wilderness in order to grow your psychological wellbeing.

The light that shines within you will become a beacon to others as they notice your consistent efforts in the direction of fiercely honouring and protecting your mental health.

You might be surprised about who decides to emulate you simply because you inspired them.
You’ll notice it through their expressions, their words, their actions, their energy & renewed vibe.

Go for it and I will meet you there in amongst some, or all, of it if we are drawn into each other’s orbit through the ethers of human connection.

Take care of your mental health 🌻

POV - Dosing yourself up on self-compassion every day is like wrapping yourself up in comforting bubbles of self-nourishment.

You may not have realised yet that self-compassion has a powerful impact on the recovery and maintenance of mental health, especially while navigating difficult and challenging circumstances in life.

In fact self-compassion has a strong correlation to lower levels of depression, anxiety, and stress.

I’ve noticed that sometimes people are not very familiar with the practice of self-compassion, or that it could ever be a useful practice for them to align with, or that they are even worthy of its benefits.

I know that the younger version of me had so much to learn about self-compassion.
So I did, and I still wrap myself up in self-compassionate hugs every single day.

What about you?

In case you need this reminder,
SELF-COMPASSION:

•Involves a set of feelings, desires, urges, motives, & behaviors towards yourself.

•Includes a supportive attitude towards yourself.

•Is the opposite of self-criticism.

•Requires an understanding of your own pain.

•Requires an understanding that pain is hard AND that it is a common human experience.

•Requires that you direct attention & energy towards your pain & then moving through your suffering.

•Requires that you direct feelings of kindness and care towards yourself.

Take care of your mental health with
self-compassion. 🌻
Then ripple all that kindness and care (COMPASSION) out towards others too.
