Your body keeps score.

Physical pain isn't always just physical. Sometimes it's your body remembering what your mind has tried to forget.

The connection between trauma and physical symptoms is real:
• Chronic pain without clear medical cause
• Muscle tension that won't release
• Digestive issues that flare with stress
• Headaches that feel like emotional pressure
• Fatigue that sleep doesn't fix

At Get To Know Yourself Counselling, we understand this mind-body connection.

Our holistic approach addresses both:
🧠 Evidence-based therapies (DBT, CBT, EMDR)
💆‍♀️ Somatic techniques to release stored tension
🦋 Trauma-informed care that honors your whole experience

Healing isn't just about talking—it's about feeling safe in your own skin again.

When did you first notice your body holding onto stress? 👇

Feeling like you're constantly on edge? 🌀

That emotional rollercoaster isn't just exhausting—it keeps you from feeling truly safe within yourself.

Here's what we mean by 'inner safety' and 'emotional clarity':

✨ Inner Safety = Feeling grounded, secure, and at peace with yourself
✨ Emotional Clarity = Understanding your feelings without being overwhelmed by them

At Get To Know Yourself Counselling, we guide you through a gentle process:

1. Creating a judgment-free space where you can be completely honest
2. Learning practical tools to regulate intense emotions
3. Rebuilding trust—first with yourself, then with others
4. Connecting with your authentic self and values

This isn't about quick fixes. It's about building lasting foundations for a life that feels purposeful and genuinely fulfilling.

When you feel safe within yourself, everything changes.

Ever feel like your thoughts are working against you?

CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) helps you understand the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and actions.

Here's how it works at Get To Know Yourself Counselling:

🔍 Identify negative thought patterns
🔄 Learn to challenge unhelpful thinking
💭 Replace with more balanced perspectives
🧠 Build new, healthier mental habits

We use CBT to help you:
• Recognize automatic negative thoughts
• See evidence that challenges those thoughts
• Create more realistic, compassionate self-talk
• Develop practical coping strategies

It's not about "positive thinking" — it's about accurate thinking.

When you change how you think about situations, you change how you feel and respond.

Ready to work on your thought patterns? The first step is often the hardest, but you don't have to do it alone.

Feeling overwhelmed by anxiety? You're not alone.

Here are 3 trauma-informed techniques that can help restore calm:

1. Grounding with your senses
Notice 5 things you see, 4 things you feel, 3 things you hear, 2 things you smell, 1 thing you taste. This brings you back to the present moment.

2. Gentle breath awareness
Place a hand on your chest, another on your belly. Breathe naturally, feeling the gentle rise and fall. No need to change anything—just notice.

3. Self-compassion statements
When anxiety peaks, try: "This is hard right now, and I'm doing my best." Speak to yourself like you would a dear friend.

These strategies honor your body's wisdom while creating safety from within.

When emotions feel like a storm you can't control, mindfulness can be your anchor.

DBT's mindfulness techniques help you:

• Pause before reacting
• Observe feelings without judgment
• Choose your response intentionally

This isn't about suppressing emotions—it's about creating space between feeling and action. That space is where healing happens.

When you can regulate your emotional responses, relationships change. You communicate clearly. You set boundaries gently. You show up as your authentic self.

When fear of abandonment feels overwhelming, small steps can make a big difference.

Here are 3 practical strategies to help build trust:

1. Name the feeling
When anxiety rises, pause and label it: "This is my fear of abandonment speaking." This creates space between the feeling and your reaction.

2. Check the facts
Ask yourself: "What evidence do I have that this person is leaving? What evidence suggests they're staying?" Write it down if it helps.

3. Practice small risks
Share one small, safe thing with someone you're learning to trust. Notice how they respond. Did they listen? Did they respect your boundary?

These aren't quick fixes, but they're starting points. Which of these feels most doable for you right now?

When emotions feel overwhelming, having practical tools can make all the difference. Here are two evidence-based strategies to help you find your center:

🌿 DBT: TIPP Skill
• Temperature: Splash cold water on your face
• Intense exercise: 5 minutes of jumping jacks
• Paced breathing: 4-7-8 technique
• Paired muscle relaxation: Tense then release

This physiological approach helps reset your nervous system when emotions feel too intense to manage.

💭 CBT: Thought Record
1. Identify the triggering situation
2. Write down the automatic thought
3. Rate your emotional intensity (0-10)
4. Challenge the thought with evidence
5. Create a balanced perspective
6. Re-rate your emotions

This helps create space between feelings and reactions, building emotional clarity over time.

When BPD makes you feel like you're living in emotional chaos, here's how we help you find your center:

🌪️ Step 1: Understanding Your Storm
We start by mapping your emotional patterns. What triggers the intensity? When do mood swings hit hardest? This isn't about judgment—it's about clarity.

🧭 Step 2: Building Your Compass
Together, we develop practical tools for emotional regulation. Think of it as creating an internal navigation system for when emotions feel overwhelming.

🦋 Step 3: Discovering Your Wings
This is where identity work happens. Who are you beneath the diagnosis? What values, interests, and strengths make you uniquely you?

🌟 Step 4: Finding Your North Star
Purpose emerges naturally when you know yourself. We help connect your authentic self to meaningful goals and relationships.

The journey from feeling lost to finding direction is possible. You don't have to navigate BPD alone.

Ever feel like your body remembers what your mind tries to forget?

That's where somatic therapy comes in.

It's not just talk therapy—it's about listening to your body's wisdom. Trauma doesn't just live in memories; it gets stored in our muscles, posture, and nervous system.

Here's how it works:

🧠 Body-Mind Connection
Somatic therapy helps you notice physical sensations that signal emotional states. That tight chest? That's information.

🌱 Releasing Stored Trauma
Through gentle movement, breathwork, and awareness, we help your body release what it's been holding onto.

🦋 Building Safety
We create a space where your nervous system can learn to regulate itself again, moving from survival mode to feeling safe.

Your body has been trying to protect you. Somatic therapy helps you thank it—and finally let it rest.
