Merry Christmas to all of you who celebrate Christmas 🎄 ! May your homes and your hearts be filled with peace, joy and love. ❤️ May you honor all of your feelings. Remember that it’s not about being jolly all the time, it’s about being authentic and genuine to your emotions as they show up , whether is joy or sadness, grief , disappointment or anger. We find harmony when we acknowledge, accept and nurture all of our parts and all of our emotions. This season can bring so many emotions, from nostalgia to sadness, to overwhelmed, anxiety and overstimulation, whatever shows up, honor it and nurture yourself. Thank you for trusting me in your healing journey. Being your therapist is an honor and one that I never take for granted.
Blessings, 🎄
Lourdes Cánovas Counseling.

May our privileged geographical luck not blind us from the suffering of others! May we continue to see all the beauty in the world while simultaneously acknowledging that not every child gets to see this colorful world and instead live in a black and white bubble. May we acknowledge that at the end of the day, we are part of the human race living in the same planet yet seeing it through very different lenses. Mother who reads me, if you are holding your child in your arms today, witnessing their smiles and tucking them into a warm bed with a full stomach, then you are rich , we are rich in life and may we never be blinded of such privilege. Privilege that should be a right for every child and every human being in this Earth ❤️🙏🏼

Counting my blessings! 🍁🙏🏼 Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate today! While in the modern days we see this holiday as a day to feast with family while reflecting on our blessings and expressing our gratitude, may we continue to live in gratitude while also acknowledging the real history and complexity behind a day like today. To the Native American community, I send my respect and acknowledgment for your grief and pain that might be triggered by this holiday. May we feast, pray and spread gratitude while understanding that this holiday was initially one that represents colonialism, oppression and the massacre of thousands of Native Americans. So technically today’s holiday represents immigrants coming in and violently taking over the land of American Indians. May we not change the narrative and the history just because is convenient or more comfortable for us. It was not really a gathering of diversity, love and unity between the peregrines and Indians! Teaching history to children is important so that the new generations can do better and be more humane than the past generations. We can’t evolve for a better future without understanding the past! Let’s continue giving thanks while also acknowledging those who do not get to live free or eat today in our nation and around the world. 🙏🏼🧡🍁.

Let me be very clear, what the world needs is more compassion, more empathy , more love and more advocacy. If you are a mental health psychotherapist, a psychologist, a clinical social worker or a psychiatrist and you don’t advocate for your oppressed clients/patients, for those oppressed in your community, in your society or in your world 🌍 then this might not be your calling and your patients deserve more humanity . If social justice advocacy is not something that comes to you naturally and injustice doesn’t make you angry, then this is not your field. To all true healers out there, the world needs more of YOU, so take good care of YOU in order to continue spreading all the light in the darkness of the world.

To and all the brave mothers of the world! 🌎🙏🏼
Reader , know that acknowledging the suffering of one oppressed population does not minimizes the pain and struggles of other communities and or countries . This is a writing for humanity and for all mothers of the world who have gone through child loss or mothering in inhumane environments.
Special mention to for advocating so passionately for children all over the world.
