Learn to regulate your nervous system in my webinar “Regulating Your Nervous System” (link in bio)
I hear from almost every client that I work with how overwhelmed, overworked and dissatisfied they are with their lives, and yet when we explore what’s contributing to them feeling this way, we discover that there is no joy in their life, and no space created to welcome it. I too struggle with creating space for joy in my life. I have been conditioned, like everyone else, to push, to grind, to achieve, to always be available. It is hard to resist this conditioning when it is constantly being reinforced by the system(s) in which we live. But the consequence, for me and as well as my clients, is chronically activated nervous systems, burnout, unhappiness, depression, and physical health issues. This advice shared by is exactly the reminder I needed to hear today. To schedule joy into my life the way I schedule work and appointments. And I felt like you could use the reminder too. Do you schedule joy into your life? What do you do that brings you joy?

ANNOUNCEMENT!
I had the incredible privilege of writing a chapter ("Self-care and Grounding") in the book, 'Looking at Trauma: A Toolkit for Clinicians', published by Penn State University Press, and edited by 2 of my brilliant colleagues and friends, Lesley Jonker & Abby Hershler.
About the book:
'Looking at Trauma: A Toolkit for Clinicians' is an easy-to-use, engaging resource designed to address the challenges health care professionals face in providing much-needed trauma psycho-education to clients with histories of childhood trauma.
The models help clinicians provide practical information about the impacts of trauma to their clients—and support those clients in understanding and managing their distressing symptoms.
Topics covered include complex post-traumatic stress disorder, emotion regulation, memory, relationship patterns, and self-care. Each chapter features step-by-step instructions on how to use the treatment models with clients; practical educational tips from experienced clinicians in the field of childhood trauma; interactive trauma education comics; a foundational framework focused on care for the provider; and references for further study.
Intended for use in therapeutic, clinical, and classroom settings, this book is a valuable resource for all healthcare workers. In particular, social workers, psychotherapists, spiritual care providers, nurses, occupational therapists, psychologists, primary care physicians, and psychiatrists will find this tool kit indispensable.
