Thought defusion doesn’t mean pushing thoughts away.
It means loosening your grip.

Here are a few gentle approaches:

✨Repeat the thought slowly
Say it out loud several times until it sounds like just words.

✨Picture the thought written on a sign
Hold it at arm’s length. You can see it — without stepping into it.

✨Delay responding
Tell yourself: “I’ll come back to this later.”
Urgency often fades with time.

✨We have a 17 week DBT group starting in January!✨

Dialectical Behavior Therapy helps people build practical skills for navigating intense emotions, difficult relationships, and patterns that feel hard to shift.

DBT is especially helpful if you feel overwhelmed, reactive, stuck in cycles, or unsure how to balance self-acceptance with meaningful change. This series offers a steady, structured space to learn and practice skills that support emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and more effective communication.

The new year can be a meaningful time to invest in skills that support change: steadier days, clearer choices, and more ease in how you relate to yourself and others. 💛

Lead facilitator: Lauren Mckeown
Co-facilitator: Michele Vinbury

Why therapy can be deeply healing for empaths, intuitive & sensitive souls 🌿

If you feel everything:
the room, the mood, the unspoken…
therapy isn’t about toughening you up.
It’s about helping you stay you without burning out.

✨ Therapy helps you:
• Sort what’s yours from what you absorb
• Regulate an overwhelmed nervous system
• Take your intuition seriously
• Release guilt and over-responsibility
• Set boundaries without losing compassion
• Stay present instead of shutting down
• Be held, rather than always holding others

Sensitivity isn’t the problem…
You don’t need to become less empathic,
you need more grounding, clarity, and care.

💛 Share with a sensitive soul who needs permission to rest.

Appointments available - DM or follow link in bio✨

Feeling stuck doesn’t mean you’re unmotivated or broken. It usually means something important wants to be seen, heard and/or protected.

At our practice, we work with “stuckness” from multiple angles…because there’s no one size fits all journey to health.

• EMDR helps reprocess past experiences that are still shaping present-day reactions (can help if you feel stuck in the past or in a pattern).

• Somatic therapy addresses the felt-sense of stuckness and the nervous system itself, especially when freeze, shutdown, or overwhelm make “next steps” feel impossible. (can be helpful if you feel physical blocks or like you literally can’t move forward.)

• Parts-oriented therapy (IFS-informed) works with the internal conflicts; when various parts are pulling you in opposite directions.

• Psychodynamic & relational therapy helps uncover the unconscious patterns, loyalty binds, or relational dynamics that keep you “stuck” in place.

• ACT (Acceptance & Commitment Therapy) supports movement toward what matters, without waiting for fear or discomfort to disappear first.

• Existential therapy creates space to explore meaning, choice, responsibility, and the anxiety that can come with change.

“Stuck” is information. ✨Therapy helps you listen to its message and move forward in a way that fits!✨
