Soul Haven Counselling

September is PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) awareness month.

Approximately 1 in 10 women are affected by PCOS.

Living with PCOS can take a toll on mental health. Hormonal imbalances, body image issues, and stress from managing symptoms can lead to anxiety, depression, and low self esteem.

It's important to seek support whether through talk therapy, support groups, or talking to loved ones.

Use your awareness of resentment to inquire within rather than holding on to the anger you feel towards others or situations that are tormenting you. People are not responsible for your resentments. When we put the responsibility of our mood on others we forget that we actually are the only ones who have the power to improve our inner peace. The resentment is an invitation for you to be curious about your own habits and patterns that contribute to your suffering. When we focus on the satisfaction and wellbeing of others, as a habitual practice based on a feeling of appropriateness, manners or guilt and shame, we are consistently abandoning ourselves. Prioritizing our needs is not selfish, it’s self appropriate. This doesn’t not exclude being respectful and kind to others. It simply means you are not forgetting yourself for others. It’s necessary in life to be fully connected and committed to yourself so you don’t feel leveraged and indebted. Your choices are made freely and consciously from a place of fullness. Where do you feel resentment in your life? What gets in the way of being selfled in those situations? What are you afraid of if you were to be more boundaried and contained? ❤️

A gentle reminder as the new school year approaches.

Staying informed and connected is crucial. That’s why I’m excited to offer you more info with this summit!

I’m teaming up with 25+ ADHD experts for an exclusive ADHD Parenting Summit.

Research shows that neurodivergence is hereditary.

A recent study found that the heritability of autism is over 80%... and another study on the heritability of ADHD found that it can go as high as 91%!! (I will link both articles in comments)

This means that if a child has an autism and/or ADHD diagnosis, chances are very high that at least one parent is autistic and/or ADHD as well.

Transcription:

Whenever a child is diagnosed as autistic or ADHD, both parents should be invited to be assessed too, or at the very least informed that they may wish to consider that they are autistic and/or ADHD too.

It would save a lot of time and missed diagnosis/self-understanding.

“Shifting your focus can bring you a sense of peace and deeper connection.” Yesss💚 But…implementing that shift is the hard part. Learn how by trying (actually affordable!) therapy >> https://bit.ly/get-matched-with-your-therapist

We put ourselves into fight or flight when we believe everything requires an immediate response or reaction. Disconnect. Spend time doing nothing but BEING— we are human beings, let’s not forget. Our health is deeply impacted by urgency culture. Boundaries take our health back

In 2022, during a drive to Nova Scotia, Jen spotted this message in the rocks along the highway through the Great Lakes in Ontario. Can you spot the message? ❤️

There are some things you have control over, and some things you don’t. The trick to feeling better and less stressed is to focus on what’s in your control and let go of the rest.

The reason our brain want to control everything (even when we can’t) because uncertainty makes us nervous. When we don’t know what’s going to happen, our brain tries to grab onto anything it can to make us feel safer. But once we recognize what’s truly in our control and what’s not, we can start to let go of that need to control everything. It’s like telling your brain, ‘I’ve got this, I’m focusing on what I can do, and that’s enough’.

What are things not in your control that you need to let go of?

Take care of your mind and body. Love Nawal ♥️

If only.

If only family were everything, as in the group of people who aid those among them who are hurt.

If only family were everything, as in the place that shelters their own when they have been wounded.

If only family were everything, when one among them asks for help.

If only.

Anyone can choose family to be there everything. That is their choice. But their is constant shame, misunderstanding, judgment even for those who have a different experience.

Because those experiences shine light on others who have no idea what trauma is, or those who refuse to acknowledge their family is just as dysfinctional as the next, but everyone is an assigned role to make it work.

So, when someone raises their hand, and they are hurt by someone in their family and needing help, and the family whispers “Shhhh, keep this quiet” the hurt person buries that pain a little deeper.

They adapt and then the family member hurts them again. This time the family tells the hurt person they are overreacting, because the first “Shhhh” didn’t work and hopefully this will cement their reality from being known.

Over and over the hurt, the hungry, the ones not adapting well are blamed for needing something different.

Families who do not honor, protect, adapt to those needing care in the most traumatic times, are not families. And they sure as hell are not everything.

Less “Family is everything” and more “Healing is.” �
Anyone can join you in that healing and they can choose not to. That has nothing to do with whether or not you deserve peace.

I’m so glad you’re here!

****My online group opens registration on October 2nd! Make sure you have a spot on the waitlist @ linktr.ee/natepost

From:: Find Your Shine Therapy

Did You Know?

About 75 percent of people who find it easy to be supportive of others score very low on self-compassion tests and are not very nice to themselves...

If you often berate yourself for perceived failures, try taking a self-compassion break.

Start by asking yourself:
What do I need right?

Whenever you notice you are in pain, remember you have three steps you can take:

1️⃣ Mindfulness: Hold your thoughts and emotions in mindful awareness. Observe them without judgment. 🧘‍♀️

2️⃣ Shared Humanity: Remind yourself that encountering pain is part of the shared human experience. We are all in this together. 🌍

3️⃣ Kindness: Offer yourself the kindness and care you deserve. 💖

Why not walk through the doorway today? Let’s practice self-compassion together. 💫
