2023 might have left with its challenges, triumphs, and new beginnings. In 2023, some of us grieved, celebrated, healed, took breaks, shutdown, accepted and more. So, if we are to take anything from 2023 is to ditch perfection, (unhealthy) comparison, toxic relationships (including family members), inner saboteur/bully… You do not need new year resolutions to be at the top in 2024, you do not need to crack any code this January to be the best version of yourself. It’s okay to set an intention for yourself daily, or choose an action word that resonates with you - your vision - your hopes - your goals - and I hope it guides you to a place of peace, wellness, and success.

Feeling unheard, unseen, unappreciated, misunderstood etc. can be tough. In some conversations, listening to respond trumps listening to understand and connect (and we all can be guilty of this). Adversities are a part of life and what we learn or how we grow from it can dismantle judgements or increase our blinders. So, leading with kindness and applying compassion is a two way approach - towards you and towards others. Wishing us all the best. #mindfulness #compassion #bekindtoyourself #kindnessmatters #kindness #judgement #lifequotes #lifelessons #lifetest #bemindful #traumatherapist #traumarecovery #traumatherapy #wellness #therapistofinstagram #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthspeakers #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthsupport #tuminscounselling

The common saying - what we resist, persists! Is so true... Here are 3 quick steps to help with resistance: ✅Rather than fight the resistance, welcome it. It is okay when this happens, however, tap into calming techniques and self regulating skills to ease your nervous system. ✅Create a feeling of safety, as well as gently challenging yourself. Resistance is a defense mechanism - ask yourself what other strategies can keep me safe? ✅Talk about your resistance. #resistance #resistancetochange #healing #healingjourney #healingenergy #healingprocess #healingpractice #wellness #therapistofinstagram #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthspeakers #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthsupport #tuminscounselling

✨READ CAPTION ✨(a short poem)… Deep Relationships can feel tricky to establish. Sometimes fear holds us back. Other times it could be shame. Here is a poem by Oriah Mountain Dreamer called The Invitation. It says: “I want to know if you can sit with pain, mine or your own, without moving to hide it or face it or fix it. I want to know if you can be with joy, mine or your own. If you can dance with wildness and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes. I want to know if you will stand in the center of the fire with me and not shrink back.” The depth you seek starts with you. So, here is an invitation to your mind - to explore ways you can establish depth in your life. #loneliness #lonely #lonewolf #loner #loneranger #alone #alonetogether #lonelynights #lonelylife #ａｌｏｎｅ #feelingalone #mentalhealth #relationships #relationshipstruggles #relationshipproblems #relationshipbelike #psychotherapy #counsellingservices #counsellingpsychology #tuminscounselling
