30 minute sessions are a great way to meet with your therapist in between your longer sessions (and is affordable) to touch base on how your doing and breifly check in on your progress towards healing. My clients have been utilizing this option to share the wins they've been experiencing in their relationships and with overcoming some of the anxiety/depression this pandemic is having.

People may not always understand you. But, once you have developed a firm sense of self and are living in a space of healing and happiness....you'll see em go out of their way to figure out how🥰

Finding the right therapist will determine the quality of your theraputic relationship and can either relieve your stress or cause stressors that make it harder to trust another therapist. A consultation can reveal so much about your therapist's approach. Who ever you choose should be able to answer your questions with genuine and wholesome answers. The consultation is the perfect chance to determine whether you will get the support you need to heal. For some people, especially BIPOC the slightest amount of judgment or prejudice can make things worse insted of better. The 3 things listed below are just a tiny piece of a puzzle and can shed some light on problematics views before committing to work with someone.

We all know that autoimmune diseases can cause symptoms that look and feel different for each individual. But, what does not look different is sometimes how others view your struggles and how servere they perceive your circumstances to be. "Just cause you cant see someone else's symptoms, dont mean they dont exist" That is where feeling supported through your healing is vital. And, counselling with a therapist who understands the many difficulties and social consequences will be important aspect of your journey. Im glad to help you out! So feel free to book a free consultation

3 Things everyone needs from their counsellor: 1) Trust that your counsellor will not judge you or let their own views control what they feel your healing should look like
2) Increase self-esteem, confidence and self-worth
3) Feel like you are being supported
Hope everyone has been having a great day🙂

This is never something easy to go through or even hear. Because everyone has their perceptions, but whether their opinions are grounded in compassion and facts is another issue in itself. Sometimes we as human beings do not have the time to gather knowledge about a specific autoimmune condition someone is facing. But, its critical to listen first before we jump to conclusions. Whether its our friend, family or lover the impact of an autoimmune condition can be huge. And, can range from brain fog to pain, extreme fatigue and depression (people often experience multiple symptoms at once). So where does this leave anonymous? Feeling isolated is one thing but being misperceived is another dilemma no one wants to face. It creates another level of stress and can even change how we regulate our emotions. Should anonymous use time, energy and emotions to explain why their ability to function are different at times?
