Things I Don't Subscribe To... Pathologizing My Clients!

One pattern I've noticed during consults and client sessions is that the clients I support are looking for therapy spaces where they are not shoehorned, judged, or stigmatized for what they've experienced - and how true this is!

I remember having this same apprehension in my own healing journey, holding back on disclosing my BPD or C-PTSD diagnoses as well as my history with su***de.

While our experiences may feel like they consume who we are, or that we are our diagnoses, or that we are simply meant to squeeze into the boxes we're told define us, we are so much more than that ♡

What are some things you don't subscribe to as a supporting professional? Let me know.

You may have noticed I've been somewhat more absent lately. While part of this definitely has to do with my ever-growing practice (which I'm thrilled about!) there's also been some hard feelings I've been sitting with through all of the joy and growth I've experienced. Through my happiest moments there have also come several reminders of what is not serving me, no matter how much I want things to work out.

With the seasons slowly changing, it seems like a good time to reflect on things I wish to let go of. Some lessons here are harder than others, but all are reminders of my commitment to bettering my life in uncomfortable and, ultimately, nourishing ways.

What are some things you wish to let go of in this transitionary period? Let me know 🕊

Over the past few months I've noticed a lot of "Things I Don't Subscribe to..." posts and reels, and so I thought I'd share my own. Each week, I'll be sharing a different aspect of my private practice. This week: The Blank Slate Approach.

There's growing recognition that our physical surroundings play an important role in supporting mental health - especially when it comes to spending time in nature 🌱

Exposure to natural environments has been shown to reduce stress, ease symptoms of anxiety and depression, and promote a sense of calm and clarity.

In addition to my in-office and virtual therapeutic offerings, I also offer local Walk & Talk sessions across the Bay of Quinte area! Send me an email at erika@care-connect.ca if you're interested in exploring this option with me 🌿

We are proud to announce that St. Leonard's HPE's Emergency and Transitional Housing Program is now operational.

Integration is a gentle and compassionate practice, not a forceful act of fixing. By acknowledging and validating each part of yourself—including the ones carrying pain or confusion—you allow these fragmented aspects to naturally move towards connection and healing. These ideas emphasize the importance of compassionate witnessing in somatic integration.

Inspired by the insightful teachings of Frances D. Booth.

Activate deep, lasting transformation with the Integrative Somatic Parts Work Certificate Program, starting July 19, 2025. In this immersive, live online training guided by expert facilitator Frances D Booth LICSW, you'll gain practical tools to compassionately connect with, understand, and integrate all parts of yourself.

Feels Like Home is Back! 💗

🗓 SUNDAY, AUGUST 3
🕑 6 - 8:30PM
📍 74 Dundas St W Unit 5 (upstairs)

In this next edition, we’ll be making postcards to our (not-so-distant) future selves - a gentle practice in intention-setting, hope, and self-compassion.

Combine words and visuals to speak to where we are now - and where we’re heading. Watercolour paints, magazines, coloured pencils, and other supplies will be provided.

No art experience necessary!

Light refreshments and treats will be provided, too. RSVP at the QR code provided or comment below 🥰💕
