Our counsellor, Trista, practised mindful walking with friends today in a beautiful park.
When we are able to practise mindfulness in our daily life, it increases our capabilities to live in the present moment and to enjoy life to the fullness.

Trista is good at using mindfulness-based psychotherapies to facilitate clients to increase their self-awareness for person growth and/or to heal from their trauma.

Connie and Trista attended the first gathering for Alberta’s Canadian Certified Counsellors this afternoon. Each counsellor shared their expertise and their favourite books. What a good networking event to know other counsellors and to learn from each other.

Thank you so much Patricia Morgan-Solutions For Resilience, Dr. Kevin Alderson and Mintie Grienke for organising this awesome event!

“That I would be good” - an inspiring song especially for highly sensitive people!

That I would be good, even if I did nothing That I would be good, even if I got the thumbs down
That I would be good if I got and stayed sick
That I would be good even if I gained ten pounds
That I would be fine even if I went bankrupt That I would be good if I lost my hair and my youth
That I would be great if I was no longer queen That I would be grand if I was not all knowing That I would be loved even when I numb myself
That I would be good even when I am overwhelmed
That I would be loved even when I was fuming
That I would be good even if I was clingy
That I would be good even if I lost sanity
Whether with or without you.

Have you ever experienced intense or prolonged physical pain/discomfort but intensive medical examinations found nothing wrong?

Have you ever experienced intense or prolonged physical pain and believed that there was a physical issue, only to find that thorough medical examinations showed nothing wrong?  Despite consulting various family physicians and specialists and trying different medications, the pain persists.

Anxiety is our body’s response to real or perceived danger and it is a natural process that every person deals with at one time or another. Anxiety may be a normal part of your life, but it need not overtake your day-to-day.

I want to write about anxiety because this is one of the most commonly cited reasons people seek counselling for.  In my practice, I have seen clients who are seeking counselling shared how they are struggling with anxiety for the first time in their life during the pandemic, or after comin

“I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You're doing things you've never done before, and more importantly, you're doing something.” - Neil Gaiman

Self-compassion is a powerful source of coping and resilience we have available to us, radically improving our mental wellbeing.

The concept of self-compassion is not widely known or understood by the vast majority of people I worked with in the counselling room. I remember clients giving me the puzzled look when I offered “can you give yourself permission to be kinder to yourself?” Some have said “yes, I know I need to...
