TIR is a brief, client-centered approach to trauma therapy developed by Frank A. Gerbode, M.D. in the 1980s.

It is an ❗️evidence-based❗️approach with a strong focus on empowerment and self-determination 💪🏻

TIR can help you process and resolve
❌negative emotions
❌negative beliefs
❌negative sensations

associated with a traumatic event, so that you can ➡️move forward with your life➡️

I’ll guide you to revisit and fully process the traumatic incident to
🌱express feelings and thoughts
🌱gain insight
🌱get understanding and
🌱come to resolution

with 🪷empathic support and validation 🪷

Over a few sessions negative emotions and beliefs associated with the trauma are gradually replaced with
🪢sense of acceptance
🪢empowerment and
🪢healing

Let me know in the comments if you want me to post more about it ⬇️

Anger is often seen as a negative emotion, but it can actually be a valuable tool for understanding ourselves and our limits.

When you feel angry, it's often because someone or something has crossed a boundary that you hold.

This could be a boundary around your
🌿values
🌿needs
🌿time
🌿physical space
🌿emotional space

Instead of trying to ❌suppress or ignore❌ your anger

You can use it as a signal to pay attention to where our boundaries are and what needs protecting ❗️

By doing so, you can start to communicate our needs more ✨clearly and assertively✨, and make choices that align with your values and well-being.

So next time you feel angry, don't just react impulsively - take a step back and ask yourself:
❓what boundary is being crossed here? ❓how can I honor and protect my own needs in this situation?

2 SPOTS LEFT!! 😱😱😱

Every aircraft has to undergo regular maintenance checks to make sure all the instruments are working properly. One of those checks is Compass Recalibration.

You’d think that a compass always points North, and you’re right, it does. But compass can become a bit “off” over time with regards to its tableau.

It is not because the compass broke, but because Earth’s magnetic field slightly shifts over time.

As human beings it is vital to perform these checks too, to recalibrate ourselves to the moving parameters of the ✨external✨ environment of our lives.

If we don’t calibrate we usually end up moving in a different direction from our intention. The longer we go, the further off we move away from our authentic self, and the longer it takes to find our way back to the true north.

If you find yourself feeling “off”, remember:
🧭It is not because there is something wrong with you
🧭You’re not broken
🧭You are wise to notice that something isn’t working
🧭It’s time for realignment check

I have a powerful method that I do for myself at least once a year and most of my clients have experienced it at least once.

They get to:
✅identify the root of misalignment
✅find such strong clarity that the solution surfaces as if on its own
✅see the solution that is so simple it feels
inspiring and motivating to act on it immediately

If you need
✨clarity
✨get unstuck
✨feel aligned with yourself
✨get inspired and motivated

this is for you 👇

I am opening my calendar to 5 individuals for the 75min one-on-one Compass Recalibration Intensive.

Covered by most extended health benefits in Ontario.

DM me for spots. First come first serve.

Virtually every new client in goal setting session at the beginning of ther therapeutic journey mentions that they want confidence.

Confidence is not something you find in the middle of a street on a bright sunny day or wake up to in the morning, or wish-think into your life

The root of confidence is in experience of life itself. Roughly 80% of people are risk averse, avoiding life experiences in the name of avoiding feeling defeat or “failure”

But if we learned to see defeat with equanimity, we’d stop avoiding it, thus stop avoiding life experiences, and start to build beliefs like “no matter what happens I’ll be ok”, “I can handle it”, “what’s in this for me?”

But how?
- taking small risks as experiments
- approach life’s events with curiousity
- avoid toxic positivity

Looking at our problems from that perspective helps to identify behavior and thought patterns that no longer serve you

Nearly two years into a pandemic coexistent with several national crises, many Americans are profoundly tense. In the most extreme cases, they’re acting out their anger in public.

Holiday Self-Care tip:
Choose your environment wisely.

That’s all we got for now.

“Heal yourself to heal others” sounds like a toxic, invalidating and dismissive message, as if indicating that you shouldn’t be in a caring profession until you’re “fully healed” (which is so arbitrary).

“Heal yourself AS you are holding space for other’s healing process.” That sounds better to me.

It is ok for us to be affected by our patients hardships and traumas, it’s a natural process of a therapeutic relationship, no matter what therapy you provide - medical, emotional, physical, spiritual - it doesn’t have to be grueling, debilitating or lead to burnout!

Use the triggers that come up for you as a guidance to where you must look within yourself - don’t numb it out, suppress, or escape it. Inquire into it.

I’m open to holding space for you to do that with me.
