With the school’s early release today due to the snow and white-out conditions, I want everyone to prioritize safety. 🤍❄️

I’ve reached out to clients scheduled for today to let them know that if they would prefer to switch to telehealth or reschedule, that is absolutely okay. I will still be in the office for those who feel comfortable traveling.

Please use your best judgment and do what feels safest for you and your family. We can always adjust plans — your well-being comes first.

Stay warm and stay safe, York community. 🤍

Winter can feel heavy.
Short days. Long nights. Low energy.

Seasonal blues are real.

Less sunlight can impact serotonin, motivation, and mood. And when we’re already stressed, winter can amplify it.

But days like today?
They’re an invitation.

Light still breaks through.
Fresh air still shifts our nervous system.
Even 10 intentional minutes outside can help regulate your mood.

Sometimes the most powerful mental health strategies aren’t complicated:
☀️ Step outside midday
🚶 Take a short walk
🌬 Take a few slow, deep breaths
📵 Put your phone away and just look up

You don’t have to “fix” winter.
You just have to gently work with it.

Did you get outside today?
Drop a ☀️ in the comments if you did — or tell me what helps you lift the winter blues.

I'll be honest, I've never seen an emotion wheel like this before and I think it's great! As they said in their post, no matter what a person's area of concern is identifying and being aware of the emotions one is experiencing is key to moving through difficult times/situations.

DBTSkills. Emotions/Emotion Regulation.
Emotions are crucial in navigating everyday life. Many of life's problems can be solved or eased by better emotional awareness/regulation.

"I need a drink after that"
"The day I've had.."
"She made me so angry"
"He had such road rage .."
"It's like treading on eggshells coming home from
school/college/work''...

Emotional awareness is key to emotion regulation.

Then not needing to change the way we feel with anger outbursts, unhealthy lifestyle choices :drink, drugs, feeding our feelings, overeating, spending, shopping, gambling, other forms of self harm.

Most of us have a more than reasonable grasp on emotional literacy.

We know that we need the so called ' negative emotions' as much as the feel good 'positive emotions'.

If we've never experienced sadness then we wouldn't know joy.
[ ie :the movie Inside Out and its sequel].
Yet still we go about our day, or many of us do - blaming external issues for rising levels of stress, overwhelm, reactivity.
