Love this graphic. Breaking down challenging interactions into more achievable steps can be pretty helpful!!

Emotional agility doesn't require extra time or energy. In fact, it will save you both.

When you're able to show up for yourself and others in an emotionally healthy way, you'll be able to redirect your energy, using it to accomplish the things that are most important to you instead of wasting it on harmful behaviors and thought patterns that don't serve you.

Give it a try by incorporating these three steps into your day today.

As a Peer Supporter, I totally agree that without connection, a semblance of nervous system regulation, relative safety, healthy relationships and trust in your external resources and internal resiliency, healing trauma is very difficult. This graphic really helps to explain what needs to be more secure before trauma ‘work’ can take place.

Exploring trauma is all too often the first approach for some professionals. Or they spend just one or two sessions on safety, which is not enough for most people.
Preparing to work on trauma can take a long time! That doesn’t mean we are delaying healing - Focusing on safety, relationships, and co-regulation in the here and now can drastically reduce suffering and improve the quality of life for trauma survivors.

It is with mixed emotions that I bid a fond farewell to my now-former office space.
For the past 4 years, I have had the blessing of hosting Peer Support sessions in this office, but for the past 19mos, I have been primarily at home offering support virtually.
Offering folks Peer Support virtually has allowed them to receive the support they are seeking from the safety of their homes.
It was truly a blessing to have this sunny space to see people, and if you feel that this space would be right for you in your business, I would highly recommend that you give Optimal Care Wellness Center a call!
