We know shame is a big one. It makes us feel awful to the point of wanting to hide from the world and those we love. But, did you know shame can become stronger by our actions or inaction? Or that shame can weaken and we can experience less shame by our actions (depending on what is causing the feelings of shame)? According to Clark (2020) who speaks from a CBT perspective, avoidance, passivity, and behaviour can all increase our feelings of shame and come at a cost to our personal life. You certainly don't have to experience shame alone. We are here to support you and work through this with you. Reference: The Negative Thoughts Workbook by David Clark.

As we go into the weekend it's a great time to reflect on how we are taking care of our mental health and if there's anything we need to do differently. When you prepare for next week, put these questions on your list. Consider what you need to put into place to be successful with taking care of your mental health. Happy Friday!

EMDR is a bit of a buzz "word" in the therapy/ mental health community. According to EMDR Institute (2024), "Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a psychotherapy treatment that is designed to alleviate the distress associated with traumatic memories." Check out our blog post that talks about this therapy is greater detail and how it may be able to help you!

Let's meet our clinic owner! Nichole is both a Registered Social Worker and Registered Psychotherapist who holds a Masters Degree in Counselling. She has been working in the mental health field since 2008 and in 2022 she opened Sunflower Therapy and Consulting in Barrie, ON with a goal of providing safe, supportive, and empowering holistic counselling services to adults. Nichole has always believed in seeing value in each person and fostering the conditions needed for personal growth. Her beliefs come from first hand experience with her own healing journey as a person who experiences chronic illness. She specializes in evidenced-based therapies such as CBT and EMDR. Her passion is to incorporate holistic modalities such as mindfulness, reiki, and ear acupuncture because she recognizes that most people respond positively to a broad range of healing techniques.

Here at Sunflower Therapy and Consulting, we are optimists. We believe everyone has strengths and positive attributes and we want to help you discover and use them! If you feel like you don't have any positive qualities or strengths, we'd love to chat with you!

Consider doing kind things for other people as often as possible. According to Greenberger and Padesky (2016), when we are kind to other's, we experience a boost in mood. Overtime, we tend to feel better about ourself, more connected to others, and happier as a result.

It's mid day and time to check in with yourself and how you're doing. We invite you to take a moment when you see this to check in with yourself to see how you're doing? How's your day going? How are you feeling? What are your thoughts like? Is there anything that needs to change? These check in's may seem simple and pointless but we recommend them at least once a day- three times a day if possible! After all, how else will you be able to make changes and meet your needs if you don't take a moment to bring awareness to them.

In each of our sessions, we are always working from a strengths-based approach because of this simple definition. Strength helps us cope and/ or leads to a more fulfilling life. Thus, we think it is vital to find our client's strengths and promote them as much as possible.

Not every day is going to be a great day- or even a good day. We want you to know that's "normal" and we are here to help you through it. Normal doesn't mean ignore it, or "you have nothing to complain about", as you might sometimes hear. It simply means changing mood is a normal human process that may sometimes be better navigated with the support of a therapist. If you find yourself feeling alone and not okay, please reach out to us. We'd really love to support you!

Mental wellness strategies should be attuned to every single day. Give this some thought. Do you bring awareness to mental wellness every day? Do you have specific things you do every day to take care of your mental well-being? If you'd like help with this, we're here for you!
