Men's mental health still carries an extra stigma. It's time to break the silence and create a new narrative.

Check out my latest blog on this subject.

Remember, sharing is caring!

As a Mental Health Counsellor, I have the privilege of walking along side many different clients, from many different walks of life, who are battling to work through all sorts of challenges. One group that has really pulled on my heartstrings is the male population. Why, you might ask? Well, the ans...

Fear has has a way of dressing itself up as truth. It whispers worst-case scenarios, finds reasons for us not to harness our own power, magnifies our doubts, and convinces us that playing it safe is the only way to survive. But fear-based thinking does not protect us at all - it limits us. It builds invisible walls around what we believe we can do, who we believe we can be, and how deeply we allow ourselves to live and love.

When we let fear drive our choices, we stop making decisions from hope, trust, and purpose. We miss opportunities, we misjudge people, and we say no to the very things that could help us grow.

The danger of fear is not just what it makes us avoid, it's what it makes us become - smaller, more guarded, and less free. Real strength isn't the absence of fear; it's being aware of it, how it impacts us, and refusing to let it do the thinking for us.

Remember, often times Fear is nothing more than
False
Evidence
Appearing
Real

There is a reason that it is so important to do our work and learn and own who we truly are and why we do the things we do; it is the key to fostering personal growth, to building stronger relationships (with ourselves and others), to living a more fulfilling, intentional and resilient life, and to step into our true power and happiness.

Living in self-alignment does not mean everything in our life is perfect, it means that our actions, decision, and behaviours match our values, goals, and beliefs. When we can manage to do this during those sh*tstorms, we can reduce our internal conflict, find more clarity in our decision making, and find moments of inner peace, even amongst the chaos.

Trauma is a psychological, emotional, or physical response to distressing events, and differs greatly from one person to another. What is distressing to one person may not be to another - not because of strength or weakness, but because of what that event triggers within us, the depth of the emotions it brings on, the past experiences we have had, our ability to cope (this takes in consideration the strategies we know to use as well as our environment) and what support we have around us.

There has been a misconception over time as to what defines trauma. Some people think trauma only means war or catastrophic events, but from a psychological point of view, we know this is not the case. Trauma can come from many different types of events, including childhood wounds and feelings of neglect or not being accepted or understood for who we are. What is consistent with trauma is the toll it can take if not worked through.

Not acknowledging trauma is often a survival strategy, but with the right support that has you feeling safe, it is possible to acknowledge it, process it, and heal it in a way that it no longer hijacks your emotional, physiological and cognitive systems.

When our traumas remain unprocessed, they will continue showing up in different ways.

What does processing mean? It means acknowledging what these traumas are, understanding how they can show up and where they have showed up in your life, defining what you would like to see different, and implementing a well thought out plan to do that.

Our patterns have been affected by 7 generations before us, and will affect 7 generations after us. These patterns can be worked with at any point in this cycle. It is never too late, and it is never soon enough.

You are worth the support.

There is much we can learn about how we show up in the world and what our habits are. Understanding why we do what we do helps us to make sure our behaviours are helping not hindering, and allows us to bring about the balance that is necessary for greater contentedness.
