When we can’t physically gather how can we still

When we can’t physically gather how can we still feel together? Often the cause of isolation is less to do with our external world and more to do with what is happening within. We may be carrying fears, insecurities, self judgements and assumptions which create a sense of disconnection from those around us.

We remain connected in so many ways and are bound by our common human needs – food, water, rest, a place to shelter and a sense of security. We share a need to belong and to be loved. These are the elements we can seek for ourselves and others at present. It is helpful to check our words and actions align with building connection and fulfilling these needs rather than focus on division and separation.

Sometimes the only way forward is to retreat. By returning to basics and re-establishing a sense of safety within ourselves we can help regulate our natural emotional response to events in the wider world. This is a vital foundation for all that follows. It is helpful to remember we are all part of the wider web of life and even in lockdown we are not isolated or separate from our environment. Our bodies, like nature, have a self-righting capacity that seeks to maintain equilibrium and balance. Our nervous system might just need a little extra help right now.

When you feel jerked around by internal turmoil, external distractions, and by chaos and noise in the world, focus on building resilience in your nervous system and enhancing your capacity for self-regulation. To live well, we need our body and mind to withstand hardships and difficulties.

At the end of a week that revealed its share of hardships and difficulties (along with bright spots and birthdays) I have seen again and again just how important and empowering this work is for individuals and the communities we are part of.

SELF REGULATION IS YOUR SUPERPOWER Emotions are l

SELF REGULATION IS YOUR SUPERPOWER
Emotions are literally our energy in motion and a bridge between our thoughts and physical action. It’s healthy for us to experience a full range of emotions but not healthy to store stagnant energy in our body rather than effectively discharge it. Nor is it healthy to use others as our emotional dumping ground.

Emotions are intended to move through us, to be expressed in a regulated healthy manner without overwhelm, avoidance or self medicating. We can’t selectively numb so we need to learn to regulate.

This months’s blog shares more on the neglected superpower that is self regulation and how you can harness it. Link in bio or at

During the past few weeks frustration has shown up

During the past few weeks frustration has shown up repeatedly in my work as people deal with a change in circumstances and a loss of control. When we are striving for progress it is easy to become frustrated by our rate of change. A seed we plant today does not become a towering tree by tomorrow. It may feel like nothing is happening but the seeds we plant need to grow roots in fertile soil before they can break the surface and be seen. We need to tend those green shoots and coax them from the soil. There will be ups and downs, challenges, gifts and setbacks.

Every small and dedicated act nudges us forward. We build better brain health, enhance our emotion regulation, improve nervous system resilience and address self limiting beliefs and in time we have a mind-body system that supports our growth.

When there is uncertainty about where we are headed and how we are getting there, it is important to remember every tiny step is part of the process.

Therapy holds up a mirror for us to see more clear

Therapy holds up a mirror for us to see more clearly through reflection. It shows us what we can’t yet see for ourselves. When we gain insight and perspective on the cause of our difficulties we can step out of our own way, construct our path through life, and facilitate change.
When you are dealing with change, challenge or transition in your life, let’s walk through it together.

Biodiversity is the variability of living things that makes up life on Earth. Humans and the world we live in are not separate and won’t be healed separately. Just as nature needs diversity so does the human race.
