Hi Community!

One thing humans are great at are having emotions about emotions. Or having many emotions all at once. Or feeling one way and then feeling another...and so on.

Wrote a little something on Holding Both. Check the link in my bio.

Hi Community,

Long-Term Care is getting a lot of well-deserved attention the past few months. For many families and healthcare workers the journey has been both tremendously difficult and considerably inspirational.

I will be posting more content on this topic with some tools and approaches in the coming weeks.

Some happy moments to share with you today!

It's April 2020, the news headlines are often concerning, which can evoke worry, anxiety, fear, and upset.

Today I witnessed so many moments of LOVE I couldn't keep it all to myself. 🙏❤

Anger is one of my favorite emotions to explore because it holds so much information. It's often energetic, powerful and will show up for all sorts of different reasons.
This post focuses primarily on anger between people.
(Please excuse the spelling errors on aggression 🙏😊)

The time is meow to stay home if you are a non-essential worker!

For all the folkx working in Long-Term-Care you're so appreciated!

Thank you for caring for some of our most vulnerable loved ones who are at high risk. The people being cared for are our grandparents, parents, friends, lovers, siblings, & co-workers who now reside in LTC.

Your care does not go unnoticed. ❤🙏 Apologies to the Kitchen Staff who were also supposed to be on the list!

Sadness. Every human experiences this emotion.

Unfortunately, we are often conditioned to ignore it, stuff it down, push it away...pretty much anything to invalidate it.
Avoiding and ignoring sadness is ineffective and unhealthy, which leads to significant effects on your health and well-being.
Thankfully once you start unlearning that sadness is "weak" or "bad" or "wrong", you can embrace a mature perspective and experience of sadness.

How do you embrace your sadness? How do you teach others to embrace their sadness?

This tool invites you to re-focus on the things you can do, instead of spending the considerable energy it takes to ruminate on all the reasons why ______ is/might be happening to you. [Sometimes exploring the why is effective and important; but for this tool it is not the focus].

If you have questions email me: lauren@laurengaudetcounselling.com [I will not respond to DMs with counselling questions as it is not secure].

You matter. This matters.
