Reconnecting with nature at #coopersrockstatepark. The times we are living in can make it incredibly hard to stay present & feel connected. Maybe all you need is just a moment.💙

Every person is going through something.
A smile or a kind word means everything to someone who is struggling.
In a world full of chaos..
Be kind 💛

Do you find yourself on SM more than you want to be, perhaps more than you find helpful to your brain/body?
That's not unusual, especially these days.
Our instincts are to know more, connect more, and commiserate more, that's all very human of you!
Ideas from me, a MH therapist👇

Beautiful morning light illuminates the Canadian Rockies' towering Mount Assiniboine as, ever so briefly, underlying rocks and pebbles show through before the winds pick up again.

🤍It’s okay to feel whatever you’re feeling about the state of the world right now. #HumanRights are at risk, & for so many in my circle this hits close to home & has a direct impact. Sending love & strength to everyone struggling. 🤍 #TherapistSky #SocialWorkSky #TraumaHealing #wvtraumatherapist

In a wilderness where gale force winds & furious weather reign supreme, Patagonia's mount Cerro Torre is bathed in the warm light of the rising moon, while the stars reflect beautifully in it's still waters.
