A new program was launched this week in Manitoba and I am honoured to be a part of it. You can go to Manitoba Farmer Wellness Program for all the info.

I'll be able to offer 6 free counselling/therapy sessions for farmers and/or farm families in Manitoba.

You might also be interested in donating to this program, it has been started by farmers and created for the mental health and wellness of farmers.

I'm a plant lady, but do not have a green thumb. At home and in my office I have been dealing with fungus gnats from overwatering. I took time on our Snow Day to repot and break the stages of growth of the larva to adult gnat.

This has reminded me that
LESS CAN BE MORE!

Out of genuine good intentions, and love, we can try too hard and overwater ourselves. Pushing for growth beyond our readiness for change, or beyond our ability to cope can get in the way of all our work. Sometimes, we need to sit back and be patient for the growth, and to simply observe the process.

Clients can try too hard for immediate results, or spread themselves thin by trying everything and anything to feel relief. And your therapist is just like you, they can be working too hard for your results and forcing you to explore parts of yourself or your life that you aren't ready for. This is why establishing the trust between you and your therapist is crucial and allows for ongoing dialogue about the therapy process. You are learning to work together and alongside eachother.

There's a new buzz in my office. I've put in a BlueAir hepa filter to help keep us breathing clean air in session.

What other measures help you feel safe in offices during these omicron times?

I'm thinking of all the families out there having to adapt and pivot under the pandemic stresses. Also those who are with chosen family this year, because the people we chose to let in as family can be just as impactful to us as the family we were born into.
Rocca wishes everyone some warmth, some safety and some moments of joy.
