Deep Roots Counselling and Wellness

Deep Roots Counselling and Wellness With over 15 years working in health care, I have a special understanding of the importance of balance, wellness, and self-compassion.

Deep Roots Counselling and Wellness is a safe and supportive space to dig up the old roots of life that don't provide nourishment and stability, and establish deep, strong, and helpful roots that connect and nourish I have a Master's of Arts degree in Counselling Psychology, a Bachelor of Nursing degree, a Bachelor of Science degree with a major in Biology, and a Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in Religious Studies
I work with youth and adults who have mood disorders, anxiety, depression, chronic illness, those dealing with trauma and crisis, and those at the end of life. I understand the important relationship between physical and mental health and wellness, and work with the understanding that all aspects of each person (physical, mental, spiritual, social, intellectual) are important and influence who we are. I work with people where they are in life, and do my best to work from a person centered approach, understanding that the client is the expert on their life and know what is truly important to them.

Picture this, your best friend, somebody that you absolutely cherish, messes up, and is beside themselves with self blame and anger and frustration and doubt. What is your response to them? Do you sit beside them and help them beat themselves up? Most likely not.
It's wonderful to treat people with love and care, but are we treating ourselves with love and care? Think of the same scenario, but instead of your best friend, it's you who messes up. Do you tell yourself that you'll be okay, that you're loved, that mistakes don't define you? Do you tell yourself that you're terrible or worthless or useless? For most of us it's the latter.
Let's learn to treat ourselves with the same love and kindness as we do our friends. If you have trouble doing this, if this is difficult for you, you're not alone. This is something that a lot of us struggle with, and if it's a big struggle in your life, it might be time to reach out and talk to somebody about it. We have to live with ourselves for an entire lives, and we have to treat ourselves with love and care.
Happy love week

Wishing you a new year full of happiness, joy, love, health, and safety. Happy New Year!

This is one of the major problems with social media. We see perfection and when we try to duplicate it, thinking, how hard can it be? My attempt at a pickle christmas tree looks like a grade 1 art class project.

To all those amazing home makers and moms and home cooks that make things look so easy, keep rocking it. I'm going to pause and rethink my life choices.

Merry Christmas eve!

Holiday Blues?

Over 5 million Canadians (or nearly 1 in 5 Canadians) live with or experience a mental health illness. Depression can affect our quality of life, our relationships, and our function at work or school.

During the holidays, depression doesn't magically disappear; in fact, it can sometimes worsen, and can lead to social withdrawal and isolation. When a lot of people are enjoying the season and getting swept up in the busyness, some people are struggling with difficult emotions and overwhelm.

If this is you, you're not alone! How do we make it through the holidays?
1. Accept your feelings and know that It's okay to feel down during the holidays.
2. Practice self-care as it is important for mental health, and it can be especially helpful during the holidays.
3. Exercise to improve your mood and help reduce the effects of stress, anxiety, and depression (if it's cold outside, bundle up!).
4. Meditating can help improve mindfulness and reduce stress.
5. Learn to say "No" as we don't have to attend every party or event. Pick one or two enjoyable things to attend instead.
6. Create new traditions if you're single or far away from home, start your own traditions or invite others into your home.
7. Set realistic expectations and don't label the holidays as a time to fix past problems.
8. Find time for yourself every day.
9. Try to limit alcohol intake.
10. Stick to your normal routine as much as you can.
