The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are. - Carl Jung
WE HONOR YOUWe accept you unconditionally, even though you may not be ready to accept yourself. Coming to therapy and asking for help can be a humbling experience and we try to make it as comfortable as possible. We are genuine in our concern for others and really just treat people the way THEY would like to be treated.
Our own painful experiences have given us a true understanding of what others are going through. Ultimately, we feel humbled that others trust us with their innermost thoughts and feelings and endeavor to honor them in their pursuit of healing and growth. |

In The Highly Sensitive Person, psychologist Elaine Aron, PhD describes what it’s like to be an HSP. Comprising 15-20% of the population, people with this trait have nervous systems that are more sensitive to stimulation than average. According to Aron, this increased sensitivity can mean “that you are more easily overwhelmed when you have been in a highly stimulating environment for too long, bombarded by sights and sounds until you are exhausted in a nervous-system sort of way.”
Politics and social media are like macaroni and cheese–the really spicy kind with habañero peppers. Take one wrong bite, and you get burned. Once politicians realized how much attention they could gather just by doubling their Facebook posts and tweets from the 2012 election, it took off. Now, the election feels like it’s been going for decades, and your Canadian friends are wondering when it will all be over. Despite the heat of the current political season, if you take care, you can still engage with your friends on social media.

Since finding out if there is a pattern to your moods and symptoms is such an important first step in diagnosing, mood tracker apps could be beneficial in establishing a pattern. Mood tracking is documenting your emotions day to day to see if there is any kind of noticeable pattern. An app is a very convenient way to do this and there are dozens, if not hundreds, of apps available for both Android and Apple systems.
Our society views alternative healing as a luxury, but our ancient civilizations healed themselves with methods people now view as superfluous or indulgent. New scientific research, along with personal testimonials about the efficacy of modalities such as massage, cranial sacral therapy, acupuncture, frequency, sound therapy and yoga, show that such “luxuries” can be an important way to experience complete healing. We, as patients and care providers, now have more tools to manage a thorough whole-body regimen for the improvement of our health and well-being.
