Perinatal Mental Health Matters
🧠💛
Perinatal mental health refers to the emotional and psychological well-being of individuals during pregnancy, birth, and the first year postpartum. It includes conditions like anxiety, depression, OCD, and even psychosis—and can affect anyone, regardless of how “normal” things may seem on the outside.
When left unaddressed, these challenges can impact not only the parent’s well-being but also the developing bond with their baby.
In this reel, Karla shares insight into the invisible layers of this journey and why compassionate, informed care during this time is essential.
✨ You don’t have to navigate it alone. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, or just want to talk, book a free 20-minute consultation today. We’re here to listen.

In the early stages of a relationship, things can feel surprisingly easy. You might feel relaxed, open, even detached to the outcome of where things go.
But as the connection deepens, something shifts. That’s often when anxiety surfaces - not because something is wrong, but because there’s more at stake now.
As safety and closeness build, so does vulnerability. And that’s when your attachment system starts to kick in.
At BODYMIND Collective, we support people in making sense of these shifts and understanding their attachment patterns so they can move through relationships with more clarity, self-trust, and care.

Engaging the senses through nature-based mindfulness can regulate the nervous system and support emotional resilience. Small moments of connection, like touch and texture can create powerful shifts in awareness. 🍃🍄🌼 Get outside and let your senses guide you! #hamiltontherapy #hamiltonpsychotherapy #mentalhealth #naturetherapy

Hot take: What if coping skills aren't the whole story? 🤔
Coping strategies can be helpful in supporting us through challenging times, but if we only focus on managing our internal experiences, we might miss what they're trying to tell us.
What if, instead of trying to "cope", we got curious? What if our feelings weren't problems to fix but clues guiding us towards deeper understanding?
If you've been to therapy before, did your therapist reach coping skills? Tell us more about your experience in the chat 👇

One of our amazing therapists, Basmah, shares why she loves using Internal Family Systems (IFS) when we feel stuck 💡
IFS helps us connect with different parts of ourselves - the ones eager to grow and the ones that feel resistant to change.
Many of us think we need to grit our teeth and force ourselves to make hard changes. Not with IFS. Instead, this approach encourages compassion and curiosity, creating real sustainable change by working with those parts, not against them. And it works! 🌱
Have questions about IFS or how it might support you? Drop them in the comments - we'd love to chat! 👇

Just like a cluttered room can feel overwhelming, a cluttered mind can make life’s challenges feel heavier than they need to be.
Clearing space ✨physically, mentally, and emotionally ✨ isn’t about giving anything up; it’s about making room for what truly matters. 🕊
This could look like:
👋Letting go of perfectionism and creating space for balance and self-compassion
🌬️Releasing guilt around prioritizing yourself to allow your care for others to flow from a grounded and full cup.
🦋Shedding old narratives that no longer serve you, inviting healing and empowerment into your life.
🧘Stepping away from the overwhelm of expectations and creating space for self-discovery and growth.
Clearing space allows new energy, ideas, and possibilities to flow in - It’s an act of self-care and a way to honour yourself and your journey.
Take a deep breath with us and reflect:
What can I release today to invite in peace and possibility? ✨

Internal Family Systems is not really about families. Here’s why👇
IFS or Internal Family Systems, grew from the idea that we are made up of all different parts - an “internal family” of sorts. Most of our parts have defined roles in our system that either help protect us or hold memories of wounds that we have carried for a long time.
In the same way that children need a healthy attachment figure to role model and support them in making good decisions, our parts need us to lead them.
Our parts don’t always have the full picture of what’s going on in our lives which can sometimes cause reactions or internal narratives to try and keep us safe or well-liked by others 👋hello, self-critical parts 👀
When we are able to validate their concerns and understand why they have taken on these roles, we can begin to guide them and respond to our external world from an empowered place.
Curious about how IFS could help your parts? Send us a message 😊

🌱Water
Instructions: Mix 1 litre of warm water with a squirt of dish detergent to create an emulsifier. Add in 1 tsp of neem oil. Shake it up to combine. Spray plants as needed.
Do you have any home remedies for taking care of your plants?

Why is it that more often than not life doesn’t always go the way we plan?
We fight against the unexpected, cling to what we wish could be, and resist the things we can’t control.
BUT the harder we fight, the heavier the burden becomes.
How can we accept the circumstances of our lives when circumstances are painful or challenging?
Cue Radical Acceptance ▶️ it teaches us to meet life where it is and embrace reality with compassion instead of resistance.
🌟Acceptance doesn’t mean we are passive 🌟
Instead, it’s a practice of distinguishing between what we can and can’t control and choosing to put our energy towards the things we are able to change.
What would it look like to incorporate radical acceptance into your daily life?

Is it just us or do you name your plants too?!
One of our favourite parts about our space is the number of plant friends we get to share it with.

Say hello to your sweet little inner critic 🥲💛
Although they don't always feel helpful, these parts of ourselves play an incredibly important role in our system. This role is usually a protective one where this inner critic acts as a buffer between us a more helpless, vulnerable part of ourselves. For example, if I can just work harder, maybe I will finally feel deserving of rest and not have to bump up against the shame that usually comes from taking a break.
Unfortunately, it rarely works so simply.
Next time you feel your inner critic taking charge, instead of getting into a power struggle with them (or beating yourself up for having one, aka another Inner critic within the inner critic 🤣), simply ask yourself - what vulnerable feelings is this critic trying to protect me from?
By noticing and honouring our inner critic's role, instead of immediately pushing them down, we can begin to build a relationship with them. Through this relationship, we can eventually support them in softening back and to trust that *we* are okay and capable of handling these vulnerable feelings. For many of our parts, being witnessed and understood by us is incredibly transformational in itself.
