Do you journal?

The start of a new year tends to draw me back to my journals. I have been writing since I was young. I started writing short stories at 9 and started journalling about my life at 12 years old. I've always wanted to be a writer and have always been fascinated by stories and narratives.

Journalling has been a therapeutic part of my life from a young age, and every new year I sit with my journals and reflect. I reflect on where I've been, I journal about my year and where I am and I write about my hopes for the next year. I also write about my accomplishments and what helped me navigate the tough parts.

Journalling is such a personal form of expression that may not be everyone's cup of tea.

If it is something you are wanting to try as we maneuver a new year just start - whether journalling on a scrap peice of paper, in your notes app on your phone, or in a journal. There is no right or wrong way to journal, just be curious and try it out.

Journalling can also be a great form of containment- a place to put your thoughts, feelings, fears, hopes and dreams for safe keeping.

Wishing everyone a safe and gentle week ahead. Reflecting on 2025- Wow, what a year! This year Daring Insights celebrated its 5th Birthday, sat with and held space for lots of new growth and healing. For those who entrusted their wellbeing here with me at Daring Insights Psychotherapy, thank you so very much! I have learned so much from those I navigated with and those I will continue to navigate with. I look forward to navigating 2026 with existing and new clients. See you next year! ;)

Emotions are like the weather.- Russ Harris

☀️Are you looking to learn more about emotions?
🌥Are you wanting to build emotional literacy?
⛈️Are you seeking to understand your emotions and yourself more clearly?

The emotions we experience are not within our control though what is in our control is how we navigate our emotions. Emotions are not meant to be controlled- much like the weather. We can't control whether its sunny or warm, or even control when the storms roll in and roll out.

Our emotional experiences will often persist and worsen the more we try to control, avoid and resist them. What our emotions really need is to be met with curiosity and compassion.

We can learn how to weather the storms and enjoy the sunshine and brighter days!

We might grab our surfboard to ride the waves or drop our anchor to keep our boat steady.

Let's talk emotional nutrition, what nourishes you?

Emotional nutrition includes all forms of self care. For many self care can be a struggle to connect with, establish, and maintain. Some of us also may need more emotional nutrition than others.

Emotional nutrition is vital in improving our capacity to cope, strengthens are immune system, and improves our overall quality of life. It's important to fuel ourselves in navigating the marathon of life.

How are you nourishing yourself this week?

How are you taking care of yourself this September?

Self-care isn't always bubblebaths and cozy blankets. Sometimes, its hard,messy, and uncomfortable-like setting boundaries, saying no, or finally booking the appointment you've been putting off (trust me, I know! ;)).

What does self care look like for you right now?

🍂 Welcome, September🍂

As the seasons change, September invites us to slow down, reflect, and embrace new beginnings. For many, this month feels like a gentle reset, a return to routine, or a transition. For some it is a time to ground ourselves, set intentions, and nurture what matters most.

At Daring Insights Psychotherapy, we believe in creating space for curiosity, compassion, and growth. Whether you’re stepping into therapy for the first time, reconnecting with your goals, or simply pausing to breathe, this season is an opportunity to honor where you are and where you’re going.

🍂 Here’s to a September filled with gentleness, courage, and connection.

🍂 What intentions are you carrying with you into this new season?
