Being a certified True Colors facilitator has changed my counseling outlook in many ways! I never thought a personality inventory would provide so many strategies to enhance self-awareness, self-esteem, communication and personal performance. True Colors is a model used for all ages and can be used individually or used in a work setting to promote a positive environment. I have had several people reach out to me asking to take the assessment because they want to sharpen their leadership qualities but not get “counseling”....and YES, you can come get the assessment and I will give you a 25 page individualized report and not get counseling. If you have been in a slump lately and need skills to become the best version of yourself send me a personal message or email me at brandilabordelpc@gmail.com and I can give you more details. I hope everyone has a great weekend! 💙💛💚🧡

Hope everyone is enjoying family time and is practicing healthy hygiene.

We are often reminded that we should forgive others but tend to forget to forgive ourselves. The pain we cause other people becomes the hate we feel for ourselves. For having done them wrong we judge, we convict and we sentence ourselves. Mostly in secret. Some people are their own worst enemy! What happens when you forgive yourself? What happens when you rewrite your script? It is ok to look back into your past and and admit the ugly facts and declare that they are irrelevant to your present. Rewriting your life script is not easy but I challenge you to start today! Start loving yourself and release the guilt that has condemned you.
