How often do we except others to read between the lines?
.
.
How often do you know there is more beneath the surface but you don’t probe because you don’t want to make things “awkward” ?
.
.
So here’s a challenge to consider this week:

How are you REALLY? … now share it with someone in your life who is worthy of your vulnerability.

AND

Be a friend…ask someone how they are REALLY doing, and then hold the space for them. No judgment, no fixing, just compassion, empathy and companionship.
.
.
Love each other well friends ❤️

These four words are so timely. . . If anything in

These four words are so timely.
.
.
If anything in our lives and in our world is going to change, we must lean into the discomfort.
.
.
When we reflect upon the greatest growth we have had in our lives, I doubt that any of us would say it occurred during seasons of ease and comfort. We build RESILIENCE through overcoming adversity.
.
.
Your discomfort is telling you something about yourself. Are you listening?
.
.
Are you feeling offended? Why?
Are you feeling afraid? Why?
Are you feeling defensive? Why?
Are you feeling insecure? Why?
Are you feeling vulnerable? Why?
Is your stomach in knots? Why?
Is your heart ready to burst? Why?
.
.
Whatever the discomfort is, take pause. And then, lean in.
.
.
Be courageous enough to dig deeper.
.
.
Be courageous enough to challenge your own perceptions and opinions.
.
.
Be courageous enough to listen.
.
.
Be courageous enough to take an honest look within yourself.
.
.
Be courageous enough to admit you have been wrong.
.
.
Be courageous enough to share and connect with others ... reach out.
.
.
Be courageous enough to change.

Did you know today is Women's Equality Day in the US?

August 26th was the day selected to commemorate the 1920 adoption of the Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution.

The Nineteenth Amendment ensures a woman’s right to vote.

Strong women ... we believe in you, we support you and we are here to build you up!

Many people are either familiar with or have at least heard of EMDR. While Brainspotting has been around for 17 years, many haven’t heard much about it.

Well, I’m here to tell you that Brainspotting is an incredible gift that we can use to help you overcome the challenges you’re experiencing.

This approach was discovered by an outstanding EMDR therapist + trainer (David Grand) and data has shown that the positive, healing results are comparable (sometimes longer lasting) than EMDR.

Both of these treatments are incredible and we are proud to have Brainspotting therapists available!
