Self-esteem is how you see your personal value and worth.

Healthy self-esteem helps with motivation, relationships, and understanding needs. Low self-esteem can lead to mental health issues like anxiety and depression.

Four key characteristics of healthy self-esteem are:

A firm understanding of one's skills

The ability to maintain healthy relationships with others as a result of having a healthy relationship with oneself

Realistic and appropriate personal expectations

An understanding of one's needs and the ability to express those needs

Affirmations help self-esteem by reinforcing positive self-beliefs through consistent, positive self-talk. This practice can reprogram negative thought patterns, reduce the impact of self-sabotage, and build resilience by focusing on core values and abilities. The repetition of these statements can physically change neural pathways in the brain, making positive thoughts more accessible.

The pursuer-distancer cycle is a common relationship pattern described in attachment and couples research.

In this dynamic, one partner (the pursuer) responds to disconnection or stress by seeking closeness, conversation, or reassurance, while the other partner (the distancer) copes by pulling back, shutting down, or needing space. These opposite strategies are usually rooted in each person’s attachment needs and past experiences, not a lack of love. Unfortunately, the more one partner chases, the more the other withdraws, and can leave both people feeling misunderstood, overwhelmed, or alone.

Therapy can help couples recognize these patterns, understand the attachment needs driving each role, and learn new ways to respond that create safety, connection, and teamwork instead of escalation.

At our practice, we kindly ask that payment is made before your session begins and we’d love to explain why.

Whether you're coming in for psychotherapy or massage therapy, your time with us is meant to be a space for deep healing, reflection, and relaxation.

After a session, you may have processed difficult emotions or reached a place of deep calm, and the last thing we want is for you to feel rushed back into practicalities like payments or conversation.

Taking care of payment beforehand allows you to leave your session however you need to, quietly, slowly, and in your own time. It's one small way we aim to support your comfort and care from start to finish.

Thank you for understanding.

If you have any questions about billing please contact our Office Administrator, Makenna, at 705-588-2284 or info@northernskiesw.com.

Stay grounded in the present moment. How? With grounding techniques!

Examples of grounding techniques:

Cold or ice water exposure

Feel your feet on the ground

Tense and release muscles

Count backwards slowly

Texture focus

Spend time in nature

Call on your 5 senses

Grounding techniques are meant to keep us in the present moment when we experience intense emotions, difficult thoughts or hard situations. Use some of these techniques when you are feeling overwhelmed to take you out of your head and back into the present moment.

At Northern Skies Wellness, we want to remind you that strength doesn’t mean the absence of struggle. Many of us carry responsibilities, emotions, and experiences that weigh more than others may realize. Just because you manage it well doesn’t mean it isn’t heavy.

If you’ve been holding more than you can name, know that support is available. Our clinicians are here to help you navigate the load, find balance, and move forward with care and compassion.

You don’t have to carry everything alone.

We make a lot of decisions every day. For ourselves, our home, our work, sometimes we are in charge of making choices for other people.

Sometimes, the volume, complexity or potential impact of the decisions you have to make in a day can leave you so physically, mentally and emotionally drained that even the simplest choices can feel like they are impossible to make.

Decision fatigue is a phenomenon that the more decisions a person makes over the course of a day, the more physically, mentally and emotionally depleted they become.

Some signs of decision fatigue can be procrastination or avoidance of decisions, impulsivity, exhaustion, brain fog, irritability, overwhelm, regret or dissatisfaction, and even can have physical symptoms.

Ways to overcome this can be to remove choice from some elements of your life, delegate, sleep, exercise, manage stress, self-care, and have down time in your days.

Experiencing this and want some help navigating it? Want to know more? Contact us today to book a session: 705-588-2284 info@northernskiesw.com
