Do it scared.
Many times we stop ourselves from getting out there and doing things.
What happens before doing the scary or anxiety provoking act?
Is it self-doubt? Does the body sensations take over?

Instead of the thoughts of…
-This is gonna be awful
-I can’t do this
-What if it goes wrong

What about changing it to…
-This could be a great opportunity
-What if this goes well
-This is a good challenge for me

This is also a great moment to implement a supportive skill or resource to assist us. Phone a friend, tapping, progressive muscle relaxation, breath work, and then GO.

There are so many opportunities that we miss when the fear gets in the way of healthy actions. Of course this is not talking about those situations that are dangerous or unnecessary. This is about those situations that could lead to healthy enjoyment, amazing opportunities, and authentic joy.

🤨When was the last time you went outside of your comfort zone?

I’ll go- I went rock climbing and got to the top, five times! I have let fear get in my way multiple times and struggled to get to the top, even though I knew I could do it. I gave myself that pep talk, had a great support nearby, and allowed myself to ride the wave.

Do it scared.
Take those deep breaths and ride the wave.

Art Therapist haunted house edition 👻

When I worked at a craft store years ago, I did in fact have to deal with open glitter everywhere, at times. 👀

Also… no art on walls??? Nothing?? And no art supplies to spruce up the space?? Torture.

A post for giggles on this Halloween day.
Happy Halloween 🎃

The POWER of art! 🎨

Art is incredibly powerful and healing. When adding an art therapist in the mix to have sessions with, that can assist in the process even more for us!

🧡Art connects us- It helps us express what words can’t, connecting us to ourselves and each other.
🧡Art makes space for emotion- Through creating, we can release, process, and make sense of what we’re feeling and experiencing. In art therapy, we can make room for the emotions to come through with art making.
🧡Art builds community- Shared creativity sparks belonging and increases our social wellness. It can bring a sense of support to be within that united space of creative flow.
🧡Art tells our stories- Every time we create, it can be seen as translating a part of our inner world into art. Our art can become a visual form of what we’ve lived, felt, and learned.
🧡Art grounds us- Art can be very grounding, connecting us to our senses and the present moment. When we’re feeling overwhelmed, creating art can bring us back to the here and now; giving a platform to express and explore rather than feeling scattered.

Which part of “the power of art” resonates most with you?

❤️Share this with others to advocate the power of art!

EFT brief overview✨

With a trained provider, EFT can dive deeper into areas, more than what’s shown here. Feel free to reach out today if interested to learn more about clinical EFT through counseling sessions.

There are other ways to incorporate tapping as well. One beauty of coping skills is that there are so many out there. One that may be beneficial to you, may not be beneficial to your friend. It’s okay to work through to find the right healthy resources for you.
