SYNCHRONICITY~ELEVATION~EVOLUTION~KNOWLEDGE
A place to share insights and experiences as we explore the journey of our soul.

A tapestry of Jungian, Rogerian and transpersonal philosophies.

For those of us who are conflict-avoidant, holding a boundary can feel brutal.

People don’t always receive our words with grace. Sometimes they get defensive, or the conversation turns into an argument, and every part of you wants to take it back.

But boundaries aren’t about control. They’re about clarity. They’re about showing up as who you really are, even when it’s uncomfortable.

The moment you hold your ground, you step into authenticity. You stop negotiating your worth. You start trusting your own voice.

That’s the quiet power of self.

The first time you hold a boundary, it can feel like you’re risking everything: connection, approval, belonging. Especially if you’ve spent years avoiding conflict to keep the peace.

But boundaries create peace. They tell the truth about what you can hold, what you need, and what you’re no longer willing to carry. Over time, that honesty becomes safety. And that safety becomes freedom.

Ego death isn’t graceful. It unravels the stories we built to survive. It strips away the masks, the performances, the carefully constructed self. What’s left is raw awareness. The beginning of soul.

We spend the first half of life building the ego: the identity, the armour, the story.

Then life asks us to set it down.

To unlearn. To soften. To remember who we were before we needed protecting.

It’s not easy. The ego doesn’t go quietly. But beneath its noise, something truer waits to be heard!

The Season of Becoming 🍂

Fall feels like midlife. There’s a richness, a beauty that comes only after seasons of growth. The colours are vivid, but they come with the reminder that change is both natural and necessary.

As Clarissa Pinkola Estés writes, “To be ourselves causes us to be exiled by many others and yet to comply with what others want causes us to be exiled from ourselves.”

This season, I’m choosing to come home to myself, again and again.

And that’s the vibe we’re feeling here at SEEK. It’s all about the power in your truth.

Love and support to you on your journey. 🙏🧡

When we give space to our unconscious, we begin to uncover patterns and meanings that shape our lives. Jungian therapy is not about quick fixes, it is about wholeness. Learn more in our new blog post. https://www.seekcounselling.ca/post/what-is-jungian-therapy. 🙏🖤🎭

We have all been conditioned. Men and women alike.

Conditioning tells us who we should be, how we should act, what is acceptable, and what will keep us safe in the eyes of others. It rewards compliance and punishes authenticity.

Over time, those rules can make us smaller. Quieter. Less ourselves.

The work of healing is not about fixing what is broken, but about noticing the patterns we never chose and beginning to question them.

What are you unlearning right now?

Some love does not end.
It just changes form.

Maybe you have felt it… in the stillness, in the song that plays at just the right moment, in the shift of light across your skin.

Maybe you have doubted it, tried to explain it away.

But what if you didn’t?

What if you trusted that the signs are real.
That they are still with you,
in ways that do not need words, only presence.

This is for anyone who is grieving
and still listening.

If this speaks to something in you,
save it, share it, or let it stay with you for a while.

You are not alone in this. 🙏💕🌿🪧

There’s the grief we can name: the loss, the betrayal, the rupture.
And then there’s the quiet kind.

The grief for the version of ourselves we never got to be.

The self that didn’t get to speak freely.
The one that learned to shrink to stay safe.
The one that was always scanning the room.
The one that never got to rest.

You may not even recognize this as grief, but it shows up.

In the ache. The resentment. The bone-deep exhaustion.

This kind of grief doesn’t ask for solutions.
It asks for witnessing.
It asks you to sit with the parts of you
that were pushed aside
so you could make it through.

You’re allowed to mourn the cost.
And you’re allowed to begin again.

Is there a version of yourself you’re grieving , even if you’ve never said it out loud?

🙏💕🌿

Each Wednesday, I’ll share a simple practice to help soothe your nervous system and bring you back into connection with yourself. These are tools I use often, with clients and in my own life.

This week’s note is the 5-4-3-2-1 Reset.
It’s a sensory grounding practice that gently brings your awareness back to the present.

Here’s how it works:

Notice five things you can see.
Notice four things you can touch.
Notice three things you can hear.
Notice two things you can smell.
Notice one thing you can taste.

If accessing the senses feels difficult in the moment, you can also take one slow, steady exhale. That counts too.

This practice can be used anywhere. When you’re anxious. When you feel frozen. When you’re overstimulated or just need to pause and come back to yourself.

It’s a quiet way to say, I am here. I am safe. I can return.

Let me know if you try it today. 🥰 🌿💕🙏

If you’ve spent years performing to be good, agreeable, useful, or composed, you’re not alone.

When performance becomes protection, it’s easy to lose touch with who you are underneath it all.

But healing doesn’t mean fixing yourself.
It means learning how to return to yourself, one moment at a time.

This post walks you through a simple daily practice I use with clients (and myself) to begin that return:

Notice.
Name.
Nurture.

If this resonates, save it or share it.
Even a small pause can change everything.

Love and support to you on your journey. 🙏💕🌿

Perfection is a performance, often one we learned early.
To be loved, to stay safe, to avoid conflict or shame.
But it can also disconnect us from who we really are.

This post is a gentle invitation to pause.
To wonder who you might meet if you let go of the striving.
To ask what’s been buried underneath all that effort to be enough.

You don’t have to have an answer.
The asking is enough.

Take a breath with this one.
Share if it resonates, or save it to sit with later.
You’re not alone in this work.
