Imperfectly Worthy

🌿Breaking the Cycle of Perfectionism and Burnout🌿

If you’ve ever felt like you had to be perfect to be enough ~ you’re not alone.

Perfectionism can be more than a mindset. For many of us, it’s a survival response rooted in trauma, shaped by early relationships, and reinforced by a society that profits from our exhaustion.

In this post, we explore:

✨ How perfectionism affects the nervous system
✨ The psychology of unrelenting standards and approval-seeking
✨ A polyvagal-based mindfulness practice you can try today
✨ Gentle healing rituals, healing of creativity, and sensory support

At Waves Psychotherapy, I offer inclusive, trauma-informed support in both ASL and English, with specialties in:

✨Parental & perinatal mental health

Friday at Mayfest did not disappoint. 🤟

Mayfest is an annual celebration of Deaf culture and community in Toronto, filled with performances, vendors, and connections that bring people together through language and shared experience.

Reconnected with familiar faces, surrounded by the rhythm of shared language and culture.

From my first ASL class at 14 to working as an interpreter and now offering therapy in both ASL and English, it’s always been about access, connection, and community.

I love this community... its energy, connection, and deep sense of pride.

🌊 Shoreline Sessions offer a refreshing, flexible approach. They blend mindfulness, movement (if desired), and meaningful conversation in a calming outdoor space. Whether you prefer to walk, stroll, sit, or roll, your session adapts to you.

📍 Held in various locations in the Durham Region, along the shores of Lake Ontario and other accessible natural spaces, offering a peaceful setting for relaxation, reflection, and healing.

💬 Sessions available in English & ASL because therapy should be accessible in the language that feels most comfortable to you.

Who is this for?

🌿 Parents juggling it all, needing a moment to breathe. (Yes, you can bring your child—strollers welcome!)

🌿 Burnt-out professionals craving clarity and calm.

🌿 Trauma survivors looking for a space that feels safe and grounding.

🌿 Neurodivergent individuals who need therapy that respects their unique needs.

🌿 Anyone who struggles to process emotions, communicate, or feel comfortable in traditional therapy settings.

🌿 People with diverse abilities who benefit from a flexible, adaptable, and inclusive therapy space.

What makes Shoreline Sessions different?

✔ Therapy beyond four walls—whether you walk, stroll, or roll, sessions are designed for your comfort.

✔ A space that respects you—no need to conform to rigid expectations.

✔ Accessible & inclusive—sessions available in English and ASL, with flexibility for mobility, sensory, and communication needs.

✔ Calming outdoor settings—with multiple Durham Region locations, we’ll find a spot that works for you.

✔ Flexible options—if the weather doesn’t cooperate, we’ll move indoors or meet virtually.

🎯 Emotional Awareness: A Fresh Start 🎯

Let’s be real... the start of the year can feel a bit heavy. Between the leftover stress from last year and the pressure to hit the ground running, it’s no wonder emotions feel a little all over the place. And sometimes, without meaning to, we let that spill over onto the people we care about most.

🌱 Steps to Reset and Reconnect:

1️⃣ Pause Before Reacting: Take a moment to ask yourself, "What’s really going on here?" Sometimes, the answer isn’t what you expect.

2️⃣ Take Ownership: If emotions get the better of you, it’s okay to say, “That wasn’t fair... can we start fresh?” It’s a small step that makes a big impact.

3️⃣ Reconnect with Care: Even little things, a kind word, a shared laugh, or a moment to listen can help rebuild bridges.

💜 A Fresh Start Can Be Yours

If you’ve been feeling the weight of it all, you’re not alone. Sometimes, a little space to reflect and reconnect with yourself and others can make all the difference.

✨ Curious about creating that space? Stay tuned for upcoming free drop-in sessions on this topic and more.

~ Own Your Journey, Embrace Your Growth, Step Into Your Power. ~
