What’s the difference between being empathic, a highly sensitive person,hypervigilant
and trauma triggered?

Empathy is actually a healthy in- tune response to the experience and emotions of others. It’s a higher level of feeling. Where one can sense the deeper emotions of others, tune into their needs all the while not taking on ownership, responsibility, blame, physical symptoms or carrying the emotions of others around with them.

Empathy is an ability to feel, while having healthy emotional and energetic boundaries in place and in tact.

If you identify as an empath and struggle to maintain your own physical and emotional wellbeing; what you may be experiencing are thr other definitions above and we can help.

Stay tuned and Stay healthy everyone. 🌻

Today is international self care day!

What’s one of the biggest self care tips given to clients?

The use of boundaries, especially the use of the word NO.

Many people who suffer with burnout, depression, anxiety, low self esteem, resentment and anger also significantly struggle with healthy boundary setting and in using the word NO.

How often are you saying yes? Feeling powerless, obligated and stressed , when what you actually need to be doing is saying NO?

NO, used respectfully, non apologetically and without further explanation and without feeling you need a detailed reason, can be a healthy step on a self care journey.

Those that have healthy boundaries and respect for you, will receive and accept your NO, no further questions or explanations needed.

Remember, NO doesn’t have to be a foul language word. It’s actually a ticket to improved emotional health. Try embracing it and using it more in your day to day life.

Stay healthy everyone! ☀️🌸🌻

A good share!

When grief
first came knocking,
I thought I had
two choices.

I could lock the door.
close the blinds.
Activate alarms
And shut it out.
But I still
lived in fear
of its intrusion,
of it finding a way
around my security systems,
around my defenses.

Or, I could invite it over
for morning coffee.
I would set the terms.
Block out the time.
I would get my house in order
and sit beside it,
let it say its piece
and send it away
as quickly as it came.

But grief doesn’t care much
for schedules
or facades.
An unexpected visitor
who comes and goes
as it pleases.

So, now I’m learning
another way.
When grief comes to visit,
I leave the door unlocked.
Sometimes, it
Frantically storms in.
Sometimes, it taps quietly on
the door waiting for
my response.

But, I’m learning to let it in.
To sit with it.
To see it.
To feel it.

So now,
When grief knocks,
I let it in.

I let it in.
