I have an issue with the term mental health for two reasons

First the word mental makes us believe that the challenges we are facing are in our mind, our brain, our head. This is not completely accurate. You cannot talk about, treat or address "mental health" without understanding that our emotions, physical bodies, and our environment play a huge role in how our brain and mind function. 

Secondly the word health trips us up constantly. What is healthy? When it comes to mental health we are taught that there is a continuum people fall into and move along from "Mentally well" to "Mentally ill". The criteria is fairly specific, clear and easy to understand but it has no wiggle room for context or understanding of an individuals past and current life circumstances. 

In my work it breaks my heart and really pisses me off when clients come to me that have been let down by the mental health services in this country or, even worse, sold snake oil by some "spiritual coach" that told them they just needed to raise their vibration or some other BS. 

We need to remember that we are human. This means we are really f*cking complex creatures with a heart, gut and soul. We are not just a brain that needs to think differently. 

Sometimes what we really need is to feel seen, heard, understood and supported. 

Sometimes what we really need is some physical affection, a hug with the person we love to soothe our nervous system.

Sometimes we need to get out of our usual environment, run, move and remind ourselves that there is more to life than the four walls we live and work in. 

And sometimes we need to seek & accept professional help to make sure we don't do something to hurt ourselves or others. 

"mental health" is different for every single one of us. 

You are unique. From your DNA to the things you've experienced to the talents you possess you are completely unlike any other human on the planet and you deserve to be treated as such. 

If you are looking for someone to help you work through challenges, overcome negative behaviours or help you feel like yourself again I can help you. 

No telling you it's all in your head and no new age spiritual bypassing!
