While the sentiment behind this article is nice, self-talk and affirmations simply don’t work for many people. If you’ve ever wondered why, let me explain. Self-talk, and affirmations, are what we call “top-down” practices. This is when your brain tells your body how to feel. The problem with “top-down” work for many individuals is that you cannot talk, or think, your way into feeling a feeling that you have not experienced. For example, if I’ve never felt beautiful, looking in the mirror and telling myself I’m beautiful will have very little effect. In order for affirmations to truly work, they must be paired with a real experience. For many traumatized people, this begins with “bottom-up” therapy, where you learn how to use your body to communicate with the brain. Experience, and regulation changes the brain and the body. #themoreyouknow #traumainformedpractice #mindbodyconnection

Clinical Psychologist & Entrepreneur | Certified Trauma Specialist Providing Holistic Healing | Expert in Trauma-Informed Care and Schema Therapy
Have you ever wondered if showing your emotions could actually make you a better professional? As therapists, our job is to provide a safe space for our clients to express themselves, especially those who have endured trauma, abuse, or other negative experiences. Typically, we maintain our composure, ensuring our clients feel secure and understood. However, I recently had an experience that challenged this norm. During a session with a client recounting her distressing past, I found myself feeling an overwhelming sadness. My heart ached for her, and before I knew it, my eyes welled up with tears. For the first time in my career, I questioned my ability to remain regulated in a session. Was I failing her by showing my emotions? Would she feel less safe seeing her therapist cry? Would she judge me or think that I'm not professional? That moment of self-doubt was quickly met by a compassionate inner voice reminding me of an important truth: I am a human being first, therapist second. Hearing another human's painful story naturally evokes empathy. If she hadn't been my client, I would have teared up just the same. Yes, therapists need to be regulated to create a safe environment, but sometimes the stories we hear are so distressing that they touch us deeply. Feeling those emotions and having somatic responses is perfectly normal. It’s a reminder that we’re not immune to feelings. At the end of the session, while I validated my client, I also shared that I felt overwhelmed, acknowledging my humanity. This openness allowed us to connect on a different level. Remember: showing your emotions doesn’t make you weak; it makes you human. And in our line of work, humanity is our greatest asset. Yes, you need to be professional; but you need to be authentic too. #thehealingspace #mentalhealth #support

Often I have come across people asking when to really see a therapist And is it okay to see them even if I am Just Feeling Low ? When you're feeling quite low at times, it's essential to assess your mental and emotional well-being. Asking yourself the following questions can help you determine whether you should consider seeing a therapist: 👉 How Persistent Are These Feelings? Reflect on the frequency and duration of your low moods. Are these feelings occasional and short-lived, or have they become persistent and interfere with your daily life and functioning? 🔺 Is It Impacting My Daily Life? Consider whether your low mood is affecting your daily activities, relationships, work and overall quality of life. 🙇♀️ Am I Struggling to Cope on My Own? If you feel overwhelmed, isolated, or unable to find effective ways to cope, consulting a therapist can provide you with the tools and strategies to navigate your emotions. Managing your emotional well-being is of high priority and it all starts with ---- >. I AM FEELING LOW

Pursuing M.A Clinical Psychology Self Improvement Program for Young Adults Workshops and Webinars Relaxation sessions ( Group and 1:1)
Cancelling therapy at the Last Minute? There are times when counsellors occasionally may need to cancel a session at the last minute. I discussed it with my seniors/supervisors and they gave me 4 simple insights which I would like to share here, 1. Prompt Acknowledgment: Greet the client warmly and acknowledge their presence promptly. Express appreciation for their commitment to attending the session. 2. Express Apology: I'm so sorry for the inconvenience. Acknowledge the importance of their time and commitment to the counselling process. 3. Provide a Brief Explanation: Offer a concise and honest explanation for the cancellation. Whether it's due to an unforeseen emergency, a scheduling conflict, or a personal matter, share only what is necessary to convey the situation without breaching confidentiality. 4. Discuss Compensation or Alternatives: If your practice has a policy regarding cancelled sessions, discuss any compensation, fee adjustments, or alternatives that may apply. Clarify the steps you'll take to address this situation. soundful.mind Mental health #MentalHealthMatters #mentalpeace #memtalhealthawareness #mentalhealth #selfcare #mentalwellbeing #mentalhealthsupport #mentalhealthsupport #mindfulness #positivepsychology #resilience
