Acknowledgement comes intentionally and can be given/received internally and externally.

Internally, when we face what we’re dealing with head on, look in the mirror and honor what we don’t know, own the mistakes AND the things we’re proud of, recognize something’s a challenge, lean into patterns…we start a shift toward movement and change.

Externally, when you talk about your best friends medical issues with him, ask a colleague to tell you more about her daughter who passed away, get an apology for the thing you didn’t deserve, acknowledge your behaviours, address patterns in your relationships and so much more, shifts also happen. Whether you are on the receiving or giving end of this one, both of you benefit.

Most of us hesitate to acknowledge because “what if it goes poorly”. It may be rocky and awkward, we won’t sugar-coat it. AND it can create alignment that you didn’t know you needed.

These are tough ones. Sometimes it’s not what you want to hear. Just like you don’t want your doctor to tell you you have a broken bone, MS, or any other physical ailment. But you still want the truth in order to know next steps.

When we can acknowledge avoidance, blocks, blind spots, accountability, deflection and projection or even the fact that maybe we just don’t want to right now, it can be wildly uncomfortable and also incredibly enlightening.

And you know what’s even more important is that we get it We will also work with you to understand why these blocks etc might be coming up so we can move forward in whatever make sense for you.

Which one did you need to hear today?

The Olympics represent so much more than just sports, medals and podiums. The road to the Olympics is just as important as the events themselves and your time in therapy is no different.

We often tell you, the time between sessions is more important than the hour we spend with you. How you apply the work, the effort, the determination, the set backs, the questioning, the growth, the small wins that lead to the big wins, the learning moments, , the trials and frustrations - the roller-coaster of it all.

Watching these past two weeks, we can learn a lot from the incredible athletes that represent our country through it all. It may not always end up exactly how you wanted or how you thought it would. AND, there’s so much more to it than the outcome.

Life lately at NapPsych

As we prepare to move into our second location the.edithq, create more opportunities with our friends and partner in the community and continue old ones, we’ve been quiet on here (this sounds familiar) 🤔

It’s all about Balance right? Something we strive for more and more each day. Here’s a glimpse into what we’ve been up to!

This isn’t a “light at the end of the tunnel” post. This is a - “things happen, growth and mess can occur simultaneously and the work is rarely over” post.

In the last 24h we have seen snowfall greater than we have in a long time. It has been messy. It has required a lot of changing of plans. Chaos likely doesn’t begin to describe it.

And then you look out your window and see this picturesque landscape with snow covered trees and the sun shining through. The mess is still there. The shovelling still needs to be done. The shifts still need to be filled. And yet all of these things can coexist.

The point is this: that while all storms end, the recovery doesn’t and this process comes with both chaos and beauty/peace.

Isn’t it cool what we can learn from Mother Nature ?
