New Year’s Resolutions?
Good, bad?

I’ll go with “neither” and “it depends”... I know that sounds non-committal, but it’s not. Often trouble with the typical notion of a New Year’s resolution is that it is based in all or nothing, black and whites. I will stop/start doing x, y, z. Period. I RESOLVE to be different, better, more financially stable, kinder, healthier, have better friends, find a new relationship.

All of those are generally good goals (though some are intentionally vague). But conceptualization matters. If you want to go deeper, I offer the following questions for consideration of your approach to new goals, and perceptions of outcomes.

- How do I view a resolution - is it an achievement (milestone) or a process (path)?
- What are my notions of success and failure?
- What do I need to feel accomplished in a given goal?
- What makes me feel validated?
- Have I considered what is needed to move towards progress in my goal? Are there steps involved?
- Have I considered my motivations in naming that as a goal? Who is it for, do I really want to, is there a purpose beyond this goal, and if so, what?

Having considered these questions, perhaps also consider whether you need help defining and addressing your goal(s). Particularly, but not exclusively, when goals relate to issues of the self.

In therapy we talk about SMART goals - specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, time-based. But these are not the only matters in creating inner change. The purpose in the questions I pose goes beyond figuring out “smart” resolutions to ask who is the person making them, how do they operate, what are their drives, values, interests, ways of thinking and feeling.

I love working with people seeking a deeper connection and self-understanding. If you live in Calgary (or anywhere in Alberta), and you want to go beyond the surface to engage differently with your life, I’m here to walk that path with you.

Your focus determines your reality.

In a moment of being stuck on something, a thought, a predetermined idea, a way of doing, often the remedy is simple. Change the focus, change the words, change the action. Doing something differently does not have to be a big-time commitment to forever change. It can be enough in this very moment, to opt this one time, to this one thing that is different than you were doing before. Maybe it’s a different route home, maybe it’s opting to switch out “I can’t” for “I can try” or even “I choose not to”, or reaching out instead of turning inward. Every moment holds choice, and every time you choose to challenge the automatic response, or recognize that the choice exists to do so, is one step away from stuck.

It has been a year. It has been rough on so many, in so many forms. It can seem useless to make one attempt at “small” personal change in the face of overwhelming big picture uncertainty - a drop in the proverbial ocean. But I assure you it is not - that the ocean is made up of drops. One drop is everything.

In emotionally focused therapy (EFT) we often find that couples partner one person who sees themselves as “too much” with another who feels they are “not enough”. When people are unaware of their deep beliefs of self, it can play out in ways of interacting and unspoken assumptions to create unhealthy patterns. An EFT therapist helps couples learn to understand patterns and assumptions to uncover authentic and honest ways of being together.

“Lack of communication” is a frequently raised couples’ issue.

In Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT - pioneered by Sue Johnson et al), the issue is seen not as a LACK of communication, but difficulty in understanding WHAT is being really being communicated, with or without words.

In EFT we help couples see and understand their individual attachment orientation and strategies each has learned for emotional safety.

We also examine how these strategies can mask EFFECTIVE communication and contribute to a negative cycle in their relationship.

Attachment/cycle work through EFT is a really powerful tool contributing to mindful awareness both within and between partners.
