Practice Mindfulness with a furry friend!
Be fully present: When you're petting your cat, focus on the experience and notice the details.
Breathe with your cat in rhythm with your cat's purr.
Accept your cat's independence: When your cat gets up to leave, let them go.

#Glimmers
Glimmers are moments of joy, opposite of activating events or difficulties. They are the things that light up your eyes, smile, heart and soul. ✨ They are a place where hope is held when things seem bleak.
What are your glimmers? What lights up your life?

The window of tolerance is such an important concept in recovery ❤️🩹 from stressors. Therapy provides a safe space for people to learn to expand their window of tolerance. My goal is for people to become their own therapist and regulate their bodies and minds. Its inspiring to to see the window open

Hi #Bluesky I am a gamer, dad, therapist and Millennial navigating what feels like the latest in world crises. May just try to spread awareness to skills/concepts to help soothe the soul in troubled times.

Tip to soothe sympathetic system
Eye Palming - when you notice distressing emotions rub your hands vigorously together like you are starting a fire 🔥
When you have built some friction take a deep breath, place your warm hands on your eyes. Feel the energy dissipate. Release your breath!
