How I'm feeling today!
..
Sometimes it's terrifying to make the jump, to push ourselves to leap when we are afraid of whether we will land, or fall. But fear is a paralytic and we can stay stuck in our 'comfort' zones. Because they are just that - comfortable!
..
Pain and fear can be a precursor for growth. We can learn so much about ourselves or go past our self imposed limits and for once be more than we think we can be. You'll never know unless you try! ..
Prove yourself wrong today. Try something new. Risk a little. Make some magic.

Many people start their mental health journey with

Many people start their mental health journey with many hopes and expectations about the process. We expect to lay on the couch and have our counselor give us some massive insight that will make everything click into place. But any seasoned therapist will tell you, progress is slow and full of peaks and valleys. ..
Social workers play many different roles in the health care system, from system navigation, case management, personal support to direct clinical therapy. And in every role, we are there to support you through the ups and downs that inevitably come when we start to take care of ourselves and make those necessary changes.
..
No matter what stage you are at, a social worker can help you along the way!

😱 Ever get caught thinking about the worst case

😱 Ever get caught thinking about the worst case scenarios? It's a super common (but unhelpful) thinking habit and can make you feel even worse!

When you notice that you're focused on all the 'what ifs', and making mountains out of molehills, ask yourself this question 🤔:
"What's MOST LIKELY going to happen?"

Sometimes this is enough to shift our thinking to focus on what's really going on - instead of all the terrible ideas our brain can come up with!

Therapy isn't always about feeling better every time we leave a session. Sometimes we leave more confused and ruffled than when we went in! Change is super hard and painful at times because we are breaking habits, acknowledging avoidance and digging through some deeply engrained thoughts and feelings. .
But pain is a precursor for growth! Having the courage to do this work will be rewarded!

I've been MIA for a while, focussing on getting myself settled into a routine in this new crazy world we live in but I couldn't pass up the opportunity to share this great post from @psychologyandlove who nails exactly what #toxicpositivity looks like!
..
Being supportive and empathetic is all about meeting people where they are at - validating and acknowledging their experience and pain instead of jumping straight to 'making them feel better' or spinning their words into a quick positive.

Self care can be such a buzz word, synonymous with

Self care can be such a buzz word, synonymous with bath bombs and face masks. But when we care for ourselves or others, it is sometime about doing the hard work - we don't always find the acts of caring easy or pleasant!
..
When your mother made you eat your vegetables, go to the dentist, clean your room, or teach you right from wrong, you didn't always enjoy it but you knew she was doing it out of caring. Setting goals for yourself and achieving them may take perseverance but you'll feel how much you are loved (by yourself!) when that hard work pays off!
