Hello and welcome back once again to the Therapy Spot. Two years ago, I decided it would be “the year of Self Compassion” — but one year just wasn’t enough! It turns out, I have so much to learn and to teach about this topic. We really can change our brains for the better when we include ourselves in our circle of care, compassion, and kindness. Let’s talk about how Self Compassion can help us heal from negative events and emotions. Amnesia is Not the Answer! In the movie Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, characters can have their memories — of a romantic relationship, a family member, a ..read more

Welcome back to the Therapy Spot, everyone, and happy May! I’m excited as always  to bring you a new episode of the podcast. For this month’s episode, I want to talk about something we’ve touched on before… but in a different way. Today, I want to talk about what I like to call the hater parts inside of you.

I was only 12 years old, away from home and excited to compete in a junior amateur synchronized swimming competition. My teammates and I went through our routine in ..read more

Welcome back to the Therapy Spot, everyone! As we celebrate the beginning of spring in the northern hemisphere, I’d like to talk for a moment about beginnings. When we first start something new, such as a new job or enrolling in university, it can feel large and difficult. In fact, when I began this podcast 3 years ago, I felt discomfort and even some intimidation. I needed a little push from myself before I knew I could fly. “Come to the edge,” he said. “We can’t, we’re afraid!” they responded. “Come to the edge,” he said. “We can’t, We will fall!” they responded. “Come to the edge,” he said ..read more
