Absolutely, like so many members of my field, this woman was influential in my career choice.
May her memory be a blessing ❤️

Hello dear community, you've been on my mind (you're always on my mind!)
I came across a great list-icle which I'm going to pop into the comments here since news sharing is no longer enabled on fb in Canada. '7 Therapists Share Their Best Advice for Coping with Existential Dread and Grief'.
I know we're all feeling it. There is so much suffering in our collective and it can feel incredibly difficult to navigate the balance of showing up and of taking needed care of ourselves. Check out the article and as always if you need some extra support, I'm here

This woman probably started my career. I watched her show every chance I got for years and years. Her candour and non-judgment felt like such a safe haven and I thought she was just the coolest.
Thank you for all your gifts, Sue ❤️ You’ve passed the torch to so many who will keep paying it forward ❤️

She provided candid advice normalising s*x to Canadian and US audiences for decades.

I'm so excited to share with you that this week I completed an advanced training with the Neurodiverse Partners Institute in a modality of couples therapy specifically tailored to the unique needs of relationships where one or more partners are neurodivergent!

This was an incredible process of learning and I'm delighted that I have this new tool to offer as specialized support for current and future clients!

Please have a look at the Neurodiverse Partners offering on my website to learn more, let me know if you have any questions, and of course please share if you hear of someone looking for this type of support!

Oh, friends ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I’m sitting here in my just-emptied workshop room with an entire heart-full of gratitude and connection. 10 fantastic humans joined me for the afternoon for my Pleasure workshop and I feel… everything ❤️ It has been FOUR YEARS since I’ve done work with a group. I felt awkward and rusty at first, but swiftly back into flow.
Imma just blast my music and soak all of this up for a bit longer. Savouring. Yessss.
(There’s another sitting of this workshop in a few weeks if you’re interested.)

One year ago I shared this, and I’m so glad that in a week I’ll be hosting the workshop that lets us dive in! If you didn’t get a spot in that workshop but would like to attend, email me at info@ravencoastwellness.com as I’m gathering an interest list to run a second event.

Pleasure. Just. Is.

This is something I find myself saying to clients so often, I thought I should say something about it here too.

Think about it. First of all, when you even read the word 'pleasure' I bet you have a specific association (and I'm going to guess it has something to do with s-x).

Wild, isn't it? Think about it some more. Pleasure...

I get so much pleasure when I smell cedar wood or hear that bubbling baby laughter or hear rain. I get pleasure from the foods I enjoy and the hugs I receive and the colour of the walls of my office.

Pleasure is everywhere.

But when I say "pleasure just IS" I'm usually trying to highlight something that pleasure is not.

Pleasure is not...

a DESTINATION.

a PROMISE.

a MESSAGE.

a MEANING.

a RESPONSIBILITY.

a CHORE.

Pleasure... just IS.

Can it be any of these things listed above? Of course.

Are all of those things listed above negative? No, I think that requires context. (Doesn't basically everything?)

But the point is that pleasure, on its own, is not inherently any of those things. It's not inherently s-xual, either.

We have so much that gets wrapped up in pleasure.

Guilt, shame, apprehension, anxiety, mistrust...

So one of the starting places when you're hoping for your relationship with pleasure to change is to really start sitting with this idea that (say it with me) PLEASURE-JUST-IS.

There's a workshop about this. We'll gather for it when we can gather again, but in the mean time we can still meet online if you're feeling something around this that you'd like to discuss.

Warmly,

Rhiannon
