ReLearning Human

A psychotherapeutic space where human-ness explored, supported and met with compassion. We get zero guidance on how to be with our human experience.

And a million and one ways to escape it. Through awareness, acceptance and and practical tool development, ReLearning Human is your Psychotherapy guide into what it means to be human. Our team of therapists in Toronto and greater Ontario is committed to cultivating a therapeutic space that honours the human experience of our clients and ourselves. We value and practice true inclusivity and continue to examine the privileges, biases, and impact of systemic discrimination and oppression based on our own identities and that of our clients.

We don't need to look so far in the distance for a sign, a teaching or for a sense of knowing.

Our own experiences are sometimes our greatest teachers. Have you ever experienced something that taught you something about yourself?
Our experiences show us who we are.

Through loss, mistakes, growth, joy, life teaches us lessons that words cannot. Each experience crafts our perspective, broadens our view and also deepens our wisdom.

Sometimes our experiences prepare us for what comes next- if we choose to continue to learn and be curious about the lessons.

Naming our experience can bring some clarity to what we may need in the moment. When we feel anxious, it is often the result of our brain worrying about a perceived threat. Whereas when we are overwhelmed, our brain feels overloaded.

Learning the difference and being able to specify the emotional experience you are having can benefit you in meeting your needs and self-soothing.

But you don't have to do this work alone. If you're thinking of exploring therapy, you can connect with our therapists through the link in bio.

Sustainable motivation comes from healthy dopamine activation - not by quick fixes (i.e., scrolling on Instagram or other social media platforms).

Small achievable actions mean results and this triggers and reinforces our brains' reward system. So, we keep engaging in these healthy sustainable activities and can feel moments of joy, relief, release and reconnection to ourselves.

Try some of these activities and see how you feel. First for a week, month and try three months in total (90 days). You can do it.

If you need support in exploring healthy patterns and maintaining a healthy lifestyle, you don't have to do it alone. Reach out to our therapists at Relearning Human and we can discover why and what keeps you stuck from creating the life you want to live. Connect with us through the link in bio.

When we are overwhelmed, it can be difficult to slow ourselves or our minds down. So, next time it feels like your mind is running a race, try this technique. Describe the space you're in — what it looks like, what it feels like — focus on how the space interacts with your senses (sight, smell, sound, touch, and taste).

By focusing on what the space around you looks like, it can help to take your mind out of past or future worries and bring you back to the present.

Goals that we set for ourselves can give us direction which is great. The important parts of reaching goals have much to do with how realistic the action plan is.

Creating a mindset of "one step at a time" can feel more manageable and less overwhelming.

We have a tendency of striving for perfection in this society but accomplishing your goals is not about perfection, it's about progress, learning and maybe even feeling good in all the little steps that you take.

Start and take it step by step. Micro goal setting is one way to get started with a realistic goal plan. You can take a look at the Setting Micro Goals worksheet available in the Do The Work section of our website through the link in bio. This may help you start.

You can do this. And you are not alone. Support is available.

Grounding practices like this one can help bring us back to the present by focusing on physical sensations. When doing practices like this, it can be easy for our attention to sway on to a different sensation or something going on around us. If this happens, allow yourself space to notice it and bring your attention back to your movement.

You don't need to be loud to be heard. Speaking up doesn't have to be polished either - to matter. Your shaky voice still carries truth and this is what courage is about. It isn't the absence of fear - it's actually choosing to speak with the fear.

There may not be applause.
Your hands may be sweaty.
Your jaw may be clenched.
Your voice will crack.

And you are still allowed to take up space. Every time you do, you have proof that you will not break. You will learn it gets easier for the next time you need to be your own cheerleader. Your own advocate.

Being small doesn't work anymore. Speak up for yourself.

We can get so caught up in the busyness of everyday life that we can forget to check in with ourselves. This can be especially true during the holidays. It makes sense, there's sometimes so much going on that even if we're feeling overwhelmed, we feel we need to continue the never-ending to-do list.

But these are the moments it becomes more important to check in and see how you are doing. So, try to find moments to ask yourself how you are doing and what you may need throughout your day. Because you and your needs are important too.

Letting go of what happened in the past isn't saying that it didn't matter or didn't have an impact. It's accepting and choosing your focus and energy on the HERE and NOW. It's choosing to move forward with your existence.

You can learn from the past, but you can’t live there. Letting go doesn’t mean forgetting—it means taking the lesson without carrying the weight.

Releasing “what could have been” allows you to be kinder to yourself. You are human, always learning, and allowed to change direction. You are allowed to let go.

If you find yourself ruminating and feeling 'stuck' in the past, reach out to us for support. You are not supposed to do this alone so don't. Connect through the link in bio.

When we're feeling overwhelmed, it can be difficult to slow down our minds and bodies — this is where grounding techniques can benefit us. Resonant breathing aims to bring our breathing rate to an ideal rate. And not only do we focus on our breathing, but counting as well which can add another layer that helps with self-soothing.

Try it now and see how it feels. Do you notice anything?

Life still brings problems, pressure, and uncertainty and mindfulness doesn't take away these stressors.

However, mindfulness helps us notice stress without getting overwhelmed by it.

Instead of stress turning into constant worry or panic, mindfulness helps you pause, notice and say,
“This is stress”
"This is anxiety”
Naming your experience can allow some distance from the experience and your being. That small pause and naming the worry may feel easier to manage.

So, the stress may still be there, but it doesn’t take over as much. You can recover faster, react less, and feel more in control.

Grounding using pressure can be helpful at self-soothing during moments of overwhelm. This is because it causes a calming effect on the nervous system which can create a sense of safety. This effect can help us get back into our bodies, lessening the panic we feel in the moment.
