From the global pandemic to racial injustice, to struggling with one's identity or making meaningful connections, we're constantly bombarded with the realities of the world today. As professional therapists, we feel it's important to provide some context to it all. We're excited to share with you our mini audio series called “Your World-View" with the goal of sharing different perspectives on how to make sense of your world.
Got a “hard” name to pronounce?
Have you ever changed your name to make it easier for others? Or ever been stuck pronouncing a name yourself?
In this episode, we touch on the eye-opening conclusion that our names mean so much more.
In fact, names play a big role in respecting your self-identity.

Episode 4: Representation for Immigrant Children
As children of the diaspora, finding stories or media that we could relate to growing up was a challenge. It was often difficult to know where we fit. Can you relate? In this episode and the next few weeks, we're touching on our own personal experiences with being immigrants. We're largely here as therapists but, we're also here as humans. We feel the need to start introducing a different narrative for others who may relate; an alternative representation to what's our there today.

Episode 3: Holidays during the pandemic
This was recorded before the lockdown announcement in our area. Making sense of what this announcement means for our time off has been challenging. It feels like our plans have been derailed, and now we need to adjust. Let's be real, this is really hard.
After our discussion this morning we thought these points might be helpful:
1. Acknowledge how you're feeling
2. Connection is key during these times and can look different for different people. For some it's connecting to friends, their faith or what's most important to them.
3. Be aware of your sleep patterns and nutritional intake. These things often fall off the wagon when we are struggling and have a great impact on our well being.
4. MOVE. Go for a walk, do some morning stretches, join a yoga class, dance to your favorite song, whatever works for you.
5. Practice self-compassion. Remember, it's been a VERY tough year. Be kind to yourself during these times.
