Do you believe you are worthy of Love and Belonging?

Brené Brown studies human connection -- our ability to empathize, belong, love. In a poignant, funny talk, she shares a deep insight from her research, one that sent her on a personal quest to know herself as well as to understand humanity. A talk to share.

The life of a Pastoral Psychotherapist : May I hold space for you? 🙏😇

02/09/2026

This is exactly why I say my clients are the most courageous people I know. The vulnerability they have to trust me with their story, and the courage it takes to look at their pain and ask what is it teaching them, always amazes and humbles me. I feel so blessed to be able to hold and share in their pain and give them a safe place to process all the confusion. Together we walk this path so they can seek the truth within and find their healing. I thank my therapist for doing the same with me. NOTE: Therapy and spiritual direction are healthy paths to take to find healing. Where two or more are gathered, LOVE is always present. Its a journey worth taking. 🙏💜

We all need to realize how our negative past experiences can play out in our current relationships, causing continued pain and suffering. Seeing our own woundedness is key, so we can choose to heal and move forward in healthy ways.

If you are caring for a Loved One who has dementia....you may want to read this book.

01/30/2026

If you are a caregiver of a Loved One who has dementia, there will come a time you will need to ask for help. Your LO's will need the "Next Level of Care". This may be in home paid help, or a Memory Care Unit with professionals who work with YOU to make sure your Loved One is safe. Please know you did not fail!
You need to know that you did the best you could do, but when it comes time that YOUR mental, physical and spiritual health is diminishing...you will need to ask for help for your own self care. You are not abandoning them, you will be one of the team, as you work with the staff. It takes a village to walk our LO's home. ❤🙏

"Caregiver support group" forming now. Will hopefully begin in March. If you are interested in joining, please email me at CardinalCounseling@gmail.com

I am in my Happy Place....practicing what I preach....self care! Take time today to be kind to yourself. Read a good book, write out some cards you have been wanting to send, listen to some music that calms your central nervous system, take a walk in the falling snow and listen to the silence, light some candles and take a hot bath with lavender oils, play with a baby and when you put them down for a nap.....sit and watch them sleep....then take a nap too 🥰 Turn off the TV and choose a spiritual practice that connects you with the Divine within. Breathe. Relax and Renew. You are worth it! 🙏🦋❄️📔🩷☯️
