Here's something we want you to keep in mind - you're much more than your achievements or setbacks. You're a person with inherent worth, irrespective of what you've done or not done.

A new practice that we have been encouraging our clients to implement in their lives is Daily Self-Compassion.

To show up as our best selves, we must be able to EXPRESS OUR EXPERIENCE of life with someone else. Being truly seen, heard, and known is essential to happiness. This means that we must be able to honestly express our past hurt, our current pain, our joy, our concern, our frustration, our confusion, our love, and every other experience we encounter in our lives. We must have someone to see, hear, and know us – our true authentic us.

Today is Valentine’s Day – a day that some people thoroughly enjoy and also a day that brings sadness and depression to others. While there may be chocolate, cards, and special dinners, there might also be grief, disappointment, and a sense of deep loneliness.

If you find yourself at a crossroads, where you know it is time to move on and let something or someone go, yet there is a part of you that wants to hold on, please have compassion for yourself and recognize that you are not alone in your struggle.
