Be mindful of seasonal depression during this dark time in the PNW, vitamin D, exercise, happy lamps, spiritual practices, creative project's, take that new class, any kind of movement...grab your poncho and go on a 15 minute walk, self-care all the way my friends...

This counselor is Opening a 2nd Flourish Mental Health, in the Tenino Wa area. It Feels so good to be in a lovely town that was a place to call home many years ago. This historical gem was a house I used to walk by as a teen and was intrigued by its charm, never realizing It would one day be a place to hang a hat, and a sign. Look me up on Psychology Today; opening this Fall. I will keep you posted!

Sometimes it’s not about thriving, It’s about softening into survival with grace for the self.

I know, I know, Gratitude journals sound cheesy...but truly they work...have you ever wondered why? You can't be in a state of gratefulness and anxiety simultaneously. Feeling gratitude trumps negative emotions...its not enough to just write down what you are thankful for, the key is to conjure the feeling...try it.

Deep diving back into Carl Jung again, by reading this gem by James Hollis. One of those books where every word deserves highlighting. Hollis casts Jung's brilliance into a language that speaks to me by name. If you're interested in a deeper understanding of soul work and navigating the ego it's your book.

If you haven't had a chance to see this movie, no matter your age, I urge you to see this masterpiece on the intricacies of emotions, and how embracing all of our feelings without demonizing negative emotions, such as envy, anger, or anxiety, is actually key to becoming a student to our emotions rather than a victim to them.

What I'm really enjoying about this book is it reads more like a workbook… Really helps a person get down to the nitty-gritty to their personal journey with self sabotage...the book helps you examine the "where, why & how" to the unique unconscious ways we fall to self sabotage....and gives the reader specific prompts to assist you in breaking covert bad habits that keeps you in life's traps. I recommend!
