Are you a master of you?

Most executives excel at leading others. But leading yourself with intention, authenticity, and alignment? That's the real game-changer.

Self Mastery for Executives is a one-day transformative workshop where you'll move beyond traditional leadership training into the deeper work of conscious, values-driven leadership.

You'll gain:
๐ŸŽฏ Awareness โ€“ Understand your patterns, triggers, and blind spots
๐ŸŽฏ Alignment โ€“ Connect your values, purpose, and daily actions
๐ŸŽฏ Accountability โ€“ Commit to intentional next steps
๐ŸŽฏ Authenticity โ€“ Lead from your true self, not your title

This isn't theory. It's experiential, reflective, and transformational.

Your facilitators:
๐Ÿ”น Aki Tsukui โ€“ Leadership & Systemic Coach
๐Ÿ”น Praveen Kaur โ€“ Life & Transition Coach

โœจ How are you, really? โœจ
October invites us to pause, slow down, and check in with ourselves. With World Mental Health Day on October 10, itโ€™s the perfect reminder that mental health isnโ€™t a luxuryโ€”itโ€™s everyday health. ๐Ÿ’š

We often get caught up in productivity and performance, forgetting to ask the simple yet profound question: How am I, really?

Your mental health matters. Some days feel steady, others heavyโ€”thatโ€™s normal. But if the tough days start to outweigh the better ones, it may be time to reach out, reflect, and receive support. ๐ŸŒฑ

Remember: therapy isnโ€™t a last resortโ€”itโ€™s a powerful resource. ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ
Self-care isnโ€™t selfishโ€”itโ€™s essential. ๐Ÿ’ซ

If you need a safe, non-judgmental space to talk, we are here for you.

Trauma can leave lasting imprints on both the mind and body, affecting how we think, feel, and respond to the world around us. ๐ŸŒ€

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a structured, evidence-based therapy that helps the brain reprocess traumatic memories. By activating the brainโ€™s natural healing processes, EMDR reduces the emotional charge of past events, allowing you to move forward with greater resilience and peace.

At Counseling Perspective, we offer EMDR as part of our trauma-informed care to support individuals on their journey of recovery and growth. ๐Ÿ’™

If youโ€™ve been carrying the weight of past experiences, know that healing is possible. Reach out to explore how EMDR can help.โ€

What we experience as children doesnโ€™t just stay in the past โ€” it shapes the way we see ourselves, love, trust, and connect throughout life. ๐ŸŒฑ Many of the struggles we face as adults can be traced back to wounds we carried from our earliest years.

The good news: healing is possible. Whether through therapy, Family Constellation, or other supportive practices, you can begin to release the weight of the past and create new pathways forward. ๐Ÿ’ซ

If youโ€™re ready to shift old patterns and nurture your inner child, reach out โ€” you donโ€™t have to walk this journey alone. โค๏ธ

Trauma can feel like a fracture โ€” a break in lifeโ€™s rhythm. It lingers in our bodies and nervous systems, making hope feel far away.

But healing is possible.
Hope often shows up softly:
โœจ A steady breath
โœจ A safe connection
โœจ A reminder you are not broken

๐Ÿ’› You are becoming. Your story isnโ€™t finished.

1.โ  โ Name what you feel.
When you name it, you tame it. Journaling or speaking to a safe person helps regulate overwhelming emotions

2.โ  โ Separate expectations from identity
Take a few deep breaths. Reconnecting with your own truth is the first step to building authentic confidence

3.โ  โ Create boundaries with compassion
You are allowed to say no or not now. Setting gentle limits doesnโ€™t mean rejecting your parents. It means respecting your own limits too.

4.โ  โ Come back to the body
Through breathwork, movement and stillness, we support the nervous system.

5.โ  โ Reach out before you burn out
Struggling in silence is too heavy. Talk to someone. A friend, theraoist or a coach. Vulnerability isnโ€™t weakness. Itโ€™s your greatest strength
