Taking a few moments to watch the river open up and let go reminds me of a similar practice we can use with our thoughts.

Not all of our thoughts are helpful. Being able to take a step back and notice your thoughts is a lot like standing by the river and watching the ice chunks go by.

Some thoughts can be big and fast.
Some can be dark.
Some can be slow.
Some can be welcome.
Some can get stuck.
Some can be like popcorn.
Some can come in hot an
d barge through all the other thoughts in our mind.

As uncomfortable as this can be...how much attention we place on our thoughts can play a part with how they impact us.

Try taking a step back and practice acknowledging your thoughts by saying " I notice I'm thinking ________"

It can take you from being in the river fighting the ice chunks, to standing on the river bank, allowing your thoughts to come and go 🫶

Such a warm welcome ☺️

Jill Connors, M.A. (Counselling Psychology), LCT, C.C.C.

I completed my Masters of Arts in Counselling Psychology degree from Yorkville University in 2021. I hold a Bachelor of Science (Major in Psychology) degree from Mount Allison University, as well as a diploma in Addictions Community Outreach from Nova Scotia Community College.
I work with clients who are seeking to better understand themselves and their relationships. We can work together to highlight your strengths that can support you in facing challenges and difficulties. I honor your wisdom and insight, and encourage you to move forward at a pace that aligns with you.
In therapy, I draw on different types of therapeutic approaches to meet your unique needs as an individual. I offer a compassionate, strengths-based perspective to encourage you to develop more flexibility with yourself. I work from a trauma-informed lens, and provide you with a balance of information and options so you can make thoughtful decisions about your therapy along the way.
You may not have chosen some of the circumstances you are facing, but you do get to choose how you respond and move forward. You may be seeking counselling to address something that has gotten your attention…whether it is anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, or trauma. It’s okay if you do not have a specific reason. There is benefit in showing up to create a space where you can explore what is important to you.

Services:
- Individual counselling for youth (ages 12 and up) and adults
- Accelerated Resolution Therapy (Basic Level)
- Systems Training for emotional predictability and problem solving (STEPPS)

Anyone else love the feeling of starting a fresh journal? ✨️ I have different journals that serve different purposes. Sometimes I jot things on my phone, sometimes on the back of a random piece of paper, or in a journal.

There are many benefits to journalling, and no right or wrong way to do it. Journalling can help you acknowledge your emotions, practice expressing yourself or find ways to cope or address your problems. Journalling can also be a place to explore your strengths or get to know yourself. Try giving yourself a prompt, such as reflecting on "how have I been facing a challenge in my life lately?"

Growing up, I spent a lot of my time reading.

My love for reading helped me develop a lot of the skills I use in counselling today....curiosity, empathy, and an appreciation for others’ stories.

Speaking of stories, we can tell ourselves a lot of stories about who we are or how we are…

“I’m so anxious, I overthink everything. It’s just the way that I am.”
“I’ll never get out of this depression. It’s too hard and overwhelming for me.”
“I’m backwards. I am so awkward with people, no wonder I don’t have any friends.”

These stories can also hold us back and keep us stuck.

Reach out if you are looking for a space to share your story.

You can start a new chapter and take small, meaningful steps forward in a direction that aligns with you.

February is Su***de Prevention Month in New Brunswick, a time to show care, compassion, and support for one another.

Tomorrow, on February 6, we invite you to take part in our annual Day in Yellow. Wearing yellow is a simple way to show solidarity and remind anyone who may be struggling that they are not alone.
