The holidays can be tough, and if this time of year isn’t bringing you joy, that’s okay—you are not alone.

For many, the season can bring feelings of loneliness, stress, or emotional exhaustion. It may highlight grief, financial pressure, or uncomfortable social situations. It’s normal to feel overwhelmed, and it’s okay to ask for support.

To help, I’m offering a special limited-time rate for individual counselling sessions. From now until March 31, 2026, sessions are just $40 each.

If you feel this could help, please reach out. You deserve support and care, especially during challenging times.

If the holidays are not a joyful time for you, that's ok...you are not alone.

It can be a time of feeling especially lonely, isolated, stressed, overwhelmed, emotionally drained. It can be a time of grief, emotional wellness is put on the back burner, a time of pressure, financial strain and situations forcing you to be around people you are not used to being around or that you don't feel comfortable with.

I am offering a limited time discount of individual counselling sessions for the next 3 months. Now to March 31, 2026. During this time, individual counselling sessions will be $40/session.

If the holidays are not a joyful time for you, that's ok...you are not alone.

It can be a time of feeling especially lonely, isolated, stressed, overwhelmed, emotionally drained. It can be a time of grief, emotional wellness is put on the back burner, a time of pressure, financial strain and situations forcing you to be around people you are not used to being around or that you don't feel comfortable with.

The holidays are tough for some. If they are filled with joy, peace and happiness for you, then that's amazing and I wish that for everyone.

If it isn't for you and that's not your current experience, I want to offer a limited time discount of individual counselling sessions for the next 3 months. During this time, individual counselling sessions will be $40/session.

Hi, I’m Bonnie from Connect_2_Heal.

I offer professional, private counselling services via Zoom, Telephone and Text.
It is my belief that everything we need, we already have within. I believe the problem is that we have forgotten or have been talked OUT OF our own intrinsic power. A counselling session provides a safe space to allow you to be seen + heard; and serves as your reminder that, within you, you have a limitless opportunity to learn, grow + heal + giving you freedom from cyclical thoughts, emotional distress, and trauma responses.

Whether you’ve gone through a major event like being victim of or witnessing violence, death, accident/illness or smaller-scale events or situations such as divorce, relocation, isolation, interpersonal relationship difficulties, etc; this is trauma.

Trauma is any event or ongoing situation that causes distress, fear, and a sense of helplessness. Untreated trauma can lead to mental health conditions such as anxiety and depression. They can also be root causes of co-occurring disorders, such as substance abuse, eating disorders, and other behavioral health issues.

Trauma does not discriminate against race, culture, gender or income tax bracket. I hope to contribute to our collective healing journey by making trauma-informed therapy accessible and available for anyone.

Please do not scroll past believing that you cannot afford certified counselling services.

Contact me and we talk about a rate that you can afford.

When I first heard Matthew Hussey's concept on self-love, it immediately shifted something in me.

Here it is:

Imagine for a moment, at the beginning of your life you were given a human. And you were told “You have one job for the rest of your life. You have to take care of this human.” Most of us have not realized that that’s our job. We finish our parenting with ‘we were raised by somebody else’, we go out into the world and we start looking for someone else to show up for us. But *we* are our human. The only person who is truly here to take care of Matthew is me. He’s in my custody. And when you wake up in the morning and you say, “what would I do today if I was taking care of my human?” The answer is completely different to what we do most days when we beat ourselves up, when we put ourselves around toxic people or around people who don’t treat us well. It’s completely different. And what it makes us realize—and this is the big mistake—loving ourselves isn’t a feeling, it’s an approach. It’s a job. You don’t even have to like yourself today to love yourself. Liking yourself can come later with all of the ways that you make yourself proud and all of the things you do. Loving yourself today is your job.

This concept is quite similar to inner child work. In my 20s, I struggled SO MUCH with self-love and what lifted me out of that was the practice of speaking to myself and treating myself as I would two year old me, 6 year old me and so on. To me, this was a natural, intuitive process that truly was effective in building up myself in a positive light.

But Matthew's concept of you being the human you have to love and take care of; that was the key I needed to integrate and assimilate sel-love to my core.

Loving yourself today is your job. ❤️

Lookin' like a hot mess!

But...

I am also:

- Coping a little better than I was yesterday. 🙏🏻
- Feeling a little stronger than I was yesterday. 💪
- Grateful beyond measure for a job where; it doesn't matter if I look like a mess (because I work from home), my mental health is supported in a true way and enables flexibility with my work day in accordance to how my body is feeling that day. ✨

I know its hard but...

- Celebrate the wins; big and small. 🏆
- Practice gratitude. 🙏🏻
- Give yourself grace. 💝

Much love,
~Bon💗

How to hack your own brain:

1. Change your self-talk. Your brain believes what you repeatedly say to it.

2. Visualize success daily. The brain can't tell imagination from reality - use that to your advantage.

3. Move your body. Exercise boosts dopamine, serotonin, and focus.

4. Feed it right. What you eat directly affects your mood and mental clarity.

5. Practice gratitude. It rewires your brain to focus on abundance, not lack.

6. Sleep deeply. Your brain resets, heals, and stores memories while you sleep.

7. Limit negativity. Protect your mental space like your life depends on it-it does.

8. Learn something new. Growth keeps your brain flexible and resilient.

9. Surround yourself with peace. Calm environments help your brain regulate emotions better.

July 27, 2022, Nova made me a dog mom.🐶🫶

Yes, I made a "birth announcement" for our dog. I'm 'that' person. 🤣

This little girl who didn't stay little for long, good God, she represents so much to me... Too much to list but the biggest, most amazing thing about choosing this baby after a long year of being so insecure, unsure and afraid of this choice without everyone's support/approval and the fact that this baby becoming a member of our family was and is a powerful statement of; I can no longer sacrifice my desires/needs for someone else's comfort, approval or appreciation and secondly; my amazing love, Patrick, was this calm, constant presence reminding me that having a dog had been such a long time wait for me and that it's one of the things I wanted to experience before the end of my days.

Before Nova, my heart was repeatedly broken as we missed out on amazing dogs because I let my fears of what people would think get in the way of living my life for me and I waited too long so those pups went on to happy homes, that weren't ours, and it hurt. But underneath that was self-betrayal. By not choosing me, I abandoned myself over and over again.💔😢

But then there was Nova. The dog we did not waste time on and risk losing out on. She was ours. And we were hers.🩷🐾

What an incredible journey Nova has had on my way to living and loving life, on my terms, going after what I truly want... And even though every single person in our life made unsupportive comments at first, and going against people's expectations and approvals is one of my biggest personal struggles...like, the thought of not pleasing someone literally made me want to vomit... I loved this dog too much to give up or give in. 🥹

And in loving this dog, I was brought into the presence, into the reality that life is short; over time, I learned that I DO deserve love, joy and freedom. ✨

Nova is now 3.5 years old and continues to teach me unconditional love, patience, resilience and advocacy (for myself and her). She's a mastiff mix (scary looking breed, some would say), 95 lbs and a fearful, anxious girl around dogs and some people; all points 'against' her. Well, being a woman with disability, I know what its like to have odds stacked against you, to be judged by appearance and to not be given the sacred space to just be. In a way, when I stand up for my dog, I stand up for me. 💪

Nova, and everything that makes her who she is, is perfectly imperfect and she has taught me that, much like her, everything I am, is perfectly imperfect and this full, beautiful, messy life is a blessed one.🩷

When the student is ready, the teacher appears. Who or what is your teacher?
