You would think the older we get the more confident we become. Not true, you are not alone! I am seeing a theme with my clients where their lack of self-confidence is affecting their work, their relationships and the way they feel about themselves. Like anything else, maintaining confidence takes work. Here are some simple things that can help.

Contact me if you need help identifying where to start. www.joseehoudepsychotherapy

Love, love, love this! These things create a sense of balance, calmness and confidence in oneself.

Not getting along with your neighbour, co-worker, friend or family member?

I was reminded last weekend that we can always find one point of commonality with people whom we may not agree with. Focus on what you share in common not what divides you. In this case it was the love of hockey. Loved cheering on my favorite team playing against Syracuse University.

So many communication problems do not have to do with the message you are trying to convey but instead HOW we transmit the message. Usually the communication errors are easy fixes and resolving them can make huge impacts in your daily life.

Book an appointment with me to improve your communication.

We have a responsibility in every social interaction we have. I use this concept but instead frame it as if you cannot have a positive interaction with someone, make sure you leave it neutral and avoid it being negative at all costs. Once you interact with someone it will have a ripple effect and the mood you help create in that person will be spread with every other person they interact with that day, and so on, and so on.

As I listen to my 15 year old put herself down because she did not score as high in physical testing as she would have liked I thought, I am hearing a different version of this everyday with my clients. We all compare ourselves to other parents, our siblings, our colleagues, our friends and people on social media.
