Our social media account has been active for six years and, with that, our main mission has been to offer general guidance and tips to help improve people’s quality of life.

The weird thing about this is that in therapy the strategies, suggestions and conversation are so context dependent that we we’ve and dance according to the individual or couple who are in front of us.

Keep this in mind as you engage with self-help work. Everything you’re reading is generalized and isn’t personalized to your context. This matters. It’s important that you consider the context in which you are in as you explore the different recommendations and tools that are out there. What might make sense for one person in one context might not make as much sense for you right now. And that’s OK.

It doesn’t mean that the tools are bad or wrong, it just means that they may not apply as well to your life at this moment in time.

This month we want to keep supporting you in navigating different feelings, especially the feeling of anxiety.

Anxiety is different from legitimate fear as it often connects to things that are not happening and are very unlikely to happen. Despite the threats not being real, the feelings and physiological experience are.

Here’s a gentle three step process to support yourself in checking in with where you’re at and what you can do to support yourself.

Anxiety is such an uncomfortable experience that we just want to be through and have it be done. Unfortunately, anxiety is an emotional experience that may not immediately go away, but we can support the processing of it with gentle action.

Here Paige guides you through a 3 step process for resetting ourselves when anxiety is active.

Remember that we need to move through our emotional experience, not avoid it or try to life hack our way out of it.

In the month of May we’ve been exploring the topics of spring resets, anxiety, OCD, and will be talking about why people may not feel as good in spring as they may have hoped.

Today we leave you with some gentle invitations to reflect on.

Our choices matter and our choices shape our mental health. Even if life feels like a 💩 storm with a lot coming at you, there are still subtle choices you can make that make a difference.

Which will you choose today?

We had to jump on this trend. I had to admit, as with a lot of trends, that I didn’t understand it at first, but as I saw more and more of these videos, I thought it was a cute way to showcase some of the more challenging moments that therapists encounter in their work.

If you are not a therapist, some of the things therapist find the most challenging are:

Insurance companies
Documentation & notes
Time management
Technology problems

As you can see, a lot of the challenges of being a therapist have nothing to do with the people that we see and the therapy work that we do. While that can definitely be challenging, a lot of our biggest frustrations come in the systemic barriers that get in the way of showing up for people as we would like to.

Therapists-anything you would add to our top horrors list??

Counter question: Why wouldn’t we start a mental health podcast?!

As mental health providers, it is one of our goals and passions to talk about the topics that are near and dear to us in therapy as well as outside of therapy.

A podcast is a great compliment to our free resources that are available on our website, are bimonthly newsletter, and our bimonthly blogs, as well as social media. These are all different channels and platforms through which we can share, inform, and support.

And that is our goal, so here we are!

Have you checked out our podcast yet?

New episodes release weekly and it is available to listen on Apple, Spotify, and YouTube. We hope you will check it out!

We have been so excited to launch The Sana Psychological Podcast and were thrilled when Katie from .yyc launched their new podcast Happiness of the Commons.

Katie and cohost Alanna explore the relationship between community, psychology and our environment to talk about what can make us happier and improve mental health.

You can check out their podcast on Apple and Podcast Addict.

We hope you will add this one to your listen list!

We’ve been enjoying it so far and are excited for future episodes!

Here we are, ready to bore you with what life actually looks like when it’s not a highlight reel:

Getting ready in the morning
Making meals
Going to work or school
Hanging out with friends once in a while
Relaxing with watching TV you’re playing a game
Stressful moments
Sad moments
Happy moments
And everything in between

We have gotten too accustomed to life being constantly stimulating, exciting and rewarding. It is OK to live in those moments of perceived boredom. These are actually the moments that life is made of.

I’m so excited to be cohosting this workshop with Amanda Nelson from .ca on June 19 from 11:30-1:00pm MST.

Meghan Nimmo introduces us to a book speaking to the benefit of the creative arts for mental health.

Doesn’t it make more sense that we were designed to move, create, and explore rather than sit at desks in front of screens?

Reconnecting with these roots can be beneficial for your mental health and lower symptoms of depression, anxiety, cravings, and more.

You’re welcome to check out this resource or just start experimenting with inviting in more analogue creativity into your life. Heck, even digital creativity is amazing to explore as well!
