Ever heard of Sand Tray as a therapeutic modality? Check out www.OnlineSandtray.com to try it out yourself, always for free! 🏖️

The Sandtray process provides a non-verbal, symbolic way for you, as a client, to communicate things that might be hard to put into words, and it can be particularly useful for people who find talk therapy limiting.

Using platforms like OnlineSandtray.com, you can create scenes between sessions in a private, self-paced way, allowing images, themes, and emotions to emerge organically. This online tool mirrors the physical sandtray experience with virtual sand and objects, allowing users to create scenes symbolically. 💭

🌱Your therapist here at EIN can work with you on a Sandtray you created at home, or might invite you to create a Sandtray depiction of a scenario or theme happening in your life. You'll be supported through the processing of images, themes and emotions that arose during the process.

Big thanks to Dr. Karen Fried, LMFT for creating and offering the free online sandtray platform created by LMFT Dr. Karen Fried for clients and therapists: https://www.onlinesandtray.com/

Each person’s grief is unique. Our individual grief experiences are shaped by many factors. Grief is not always about death. Grief is characterized by a perceived loss that may or may not be recognized by the friends, the family, the culture or the society of the person grieving.

Someone can grieve the loss of a job or the loss of a relationship: a friend, a family member, pet (whether or not they've died), loss of safety, security, hope, independence, health... and much more.

Grief is not easy to understand contextually. It can arise even during our moments of happiness. We may grieve the loss of a relationship during a happy time in our life because we wished this special relationship or aspect of our life was still with us.

There is still so much more to learn about grief. Learning about grief helps us validate our own experience of grief as well as that of others. Our therapists at EIN are trained to provide human-centered care and a landing place for your grief. If you're working with collective or personal grief, book a session with one of our therapists today. Our Blog page also hosts extensive material on grief. Link in Bio👆🏼

Each February, as we reflect on Black History and the efforts taken by Black people to move toward more equity, justice and love, we also look forward to celebrate rich Black futures and the power in collective imagining for the Black liberation movements that lie ahead 💭

This month is a call to action where we visualize and bring alive more justice, love, inclusion, and equity. We imagine a collective vision of a future shaped by creativity, resilience, self-determination, freedom, and the brilliance of the Black community. ✊🏿

This Black Futures Month, consider supporting the network of Black organizations committed to nurturing the power of Black futures, like

“M4BL is an abolitionist, Black q***r feminist, anti-capitalist ecosystem of hundreds of organizations nurturing a broad political home where Black people can find an opportunity to learn, organize, and take action. For M4BL, the future of Black love requires a reimagining of life as we know it and a revolutionary transformation of the beliefs, norms, and systems that reject our humanity. The future of Black love requires a society grounded in trust, collective care, and abundance that prioritizes the dignity and power of Black people.”

Behavioral Activation is the idea that action shifts our state of mind and body. Once the body begins moving toward the task at hand (in just small ways), motivation often follows 🎯

The concept of Behavioral Activation demystifies the idea of motivation, and how to increase it. Motivation may be low for a variety of reasons. Not having motivation to complete the tasks important in our lives does not mean you're a failure, or that you'll never get them done 🥾

Motivation can be low for protective reasons such as nervous system depletion, burnout, overwhelm, low mood, grief, sleep disruption, or fear of failure — None of these mean you’re lazy or incapable, though this is often how we interpret low motivation. Often our system is conserving energy or avoiding perceived threat, which is why small, supportive action can help shift the state without shame.

🌱Sometimes we only need to change our approach to our tasks, and the motivation will follow.

When it comes to mental and physical health, the vagus nerve has received a ton of attention recently, and for good reason. This nerve holds tremendous influence over the body and mind, shaping our stress response, emotional strength, and nervous system balance 🧠🧘🏽‍♀️

The vagus nerve is the longest cranial nerve in the body connecting our brain to important organs like the heart, lungs, and gut. Around 75% of our "rest and digest" (parasympathetic) nervous system fibers come from this nerve. That's a lot! So, when the vagus nerve is stimulated, our "rest and digest" systems 🥱 are also activated (as opposed to our fight/flight/flee/fawn" response 🏃🏿‍♂️)

A high vagal tone means you’ve got a well-polished and efficient stress response, while a low vagal tone suggests a regulation system that leads toward anxiety and dysregulation. Generally speaking, vagal tone is measured by observing one's Heart Rate Variability, 📊 or one’s heart's responsiveness to external influences and bodily needs.

Try these three practices to strengthen your vagal tone to increase your resiliency toward future stress responses but also in the moment when you're experiencing stress 💪🏽 These simple practices are accessible in most situations. You can even try them with a trusted friend or therapist.

Research on compassion and kindness shows us that acts of kindness are contagious.

“Other people’s kindness makes us kinder” In fact, kindness and compassion lead to a sense of “moral elevation,” with research showing that “witnessing kindness makes us feel more compassionate, and compassion predicts helping behavior” Thupten Jinpa, PhD.

So, when was the last time you extended a random act of kindness to a stranger? How did it feel to do so? When was the last time you received or witnessed an act of kindness from someone familiar or unfamiliar? How did your body instinctively react?

(Research and quote from “A Fearless Heart” by Thupten Jinpa, Ph.D., Tibetan Scholar and Principle English translator to the Dalai Lama since 1985.)

Journal promt: How do you feel about rest? What were you taught about rest in childhood? Was rest earned, avoided, or allowed?

There’s physical rest for the body, emotional rest for the nervous system, and spiritual rest that reconnects us to our life's meaning and presence.

When we explore our personal and cultural stories about rest, they begin to loosen their grip on us. Our propensity toward burnout is lessened and we can soften the guilt that often surrounds slowing down 🥱

🧠 Meditation challenge! Can you find compassion for your schemas by first labeling them and bringing awareness to them? A few more schemas are listed below. Which of the below schemas (or vulnerable, adaptive personality structures) do you relate to?

💬Abandonment/Instability: My close relationships will end because people are unstable and unpredictable.
🗣️Mistrust/Abuse: I expect to get hurt or be taken advantage of by others.
💭Dependence/Incompetence: I'm not capable of taking care of myself without help on simple tasks and decisions.
🤔Entitlement/Self-Centeredness: I deserve whatever | can get, even if it bothers others.
🌱Self-Sacrifice: I'm very sensitive to others' pain and tend to hide my own needs so that I'm not a bother.
👋🏼Approval-Seeking/Recognition-Seeking: Getting attention and admiration are often more important than what is truly satisfying

Recognizing our schemas is a form of mindfulness, and being kind to ourselves in the midst of an active schema is self-compassion in action!

When we understand exactly how a schema shows up in our lives, we're more likely to catch it. Can we say to ourselves, "Oh yeah, there I go again, self-sacrificing!" or
"There's my dependency schema again..." And then move on from the story it tells us?

There are 18 identified Schemas from Tara Bennett-Goleman book, Emotional Alchemy, about working mindfully and compassionately with our schemas. If you want to take an inventory of your schemas, go to www.schematherapy.com and read more about the 18 schemas or take the Young Schema Questionnaire (YSQ).

Have you ever taken a self-compassion test? Dr. Kristin Neff PhD author and creator of multiple organizations centered around mindfulness and self-compassion, arranged a test for us to understand how self-compassionate we are... truly. 🧐

In the words of Dr. Neff, "Self-compassion simply involves giving yourself the same compassion you’d naturally show a friend when you’re struggling or feeling badly about yourself. It means being supportive when you’re facing a life challenge, feel inadequate, or make a mistake. Instead of just ignoring your pain with a “stiff upper lip” mentality or getting carried away by your negative thoughts and emotions, you stop to tell yourself, 'this is really difficult right now. How can I comfort and care for myself in this moment?' 🪷

Instead of mercilessly judging and criticizing yourself for various inadequacies or shortcomings, self-compassion means you are kind and understanding when confronted with your failings – after all, who ever said you were supposed to be perfect?"

So, how can you raise your level of self-compassion? Self-Kindness, Common Humanity and Mindfulness are learnable skills that get stronger with practice. Self-compassion isn’t difficult, but for most of us, it takes intentional practice to make it a lifelong habit.
