No Halos Here

In Episode 12, Jane and I discussed coaching, healing, and therapy and how each of these areas supports the client. Today we’ve invited registered psychotherapist Emily Tousaw to share her perspectives and experiences with being a therapist and counsellor, reflecting on the role of these professions in healing, and how her work changes people’s lives.

We look at the increasing regulation of these industries and what the nuances are between what makes someone seek out coaching vs. counselling.

Resources and Books mentioned:

The Body Keeps the Score - Dr. Bessel Van Der Kolk

When the Body Says No - Dr. Gabor Mate

Join us today as we explore the intersection of coaching, healing and therapy through the lens of our own experiences of being coached and serving our clients. Where does coaching begin and healing end? Where does therapy serve better than coaching? This is an inside look at how we view our ‘industry’, how we value the variety and wealth of our experiences, and how we see welcome changes starting to unfold.

Does perfectionism control your life? How can you refine your perfectionist tendencies while allowing them to serve you? In this episode we share how our journey of recognizing how perfectionism shows up in our lives has both served us, but has also stopped us from moving forward on projects, dreams, and visions. 

We share what has worked for us in recognizing and trusting our perfectionist tendencies, along with some tips for you to recognize when perfectionism is helping you, and when it’s holding you back. 

Additional Resources/Reading:

• We referenced Human Design Profile types in this episode. Jane is a 3/5 Projector and Jen is a 4/6 Projector. You can find out more about your Human Design at https://human.design/ 

Questions and prompts for further guidance: 

• Do you have ways you manage your perfectionist tendencies? Awareness is one practice you can start today. Stop, reflect, slow down, and/or work with others to recognize where perfectionism stops you. Bring it into your awareness so you can transform it. 
• When you catch yourself in perfectionism, stop and ask “Am I going to let this stop me?”
• Allow yourself more freedom through messy creativity!
• Trust the process and what you have ‘in the moment’.
• Is your creativity ‘lost’? Where can you give yourself permission to be more creative as a response to perfectionism? 
• Some phrases to explore for your own journey through perfectionism:
• Imperfect action
• Done is better than perfect

Have we lost our connection to ‘reflection’ because we have mis-identified it as ‘boredom’? In our worshipping of ‘busy’ and ‘doing’ culture, have we forgotten how to simply ‘be’ with ourselves for a moment? In this episode, we explore the value and practices of reflection in our lives, as well as real-life examples of easy ways to build reflection into your day. 

Here are some ways to help you explore reflection in your own life: 

• Take 3 minutes and reflect on what was meaningful for you in this episode.
• One of the best places to reflect is in Nature. Walk in Nature, look at a tree, rocks, ocean, etc. and just observe. 
• Use a beginners mindset, curiosity is key 
• Don’t overcomplicate it - do it when and where and you can
• End of Day Review Practice - What moved you today? What was a highlight? What would you like to do better? 
• Kettle boil reflection - instead of ‘doing’ something while the kettle boils, reflect instead.  
• If you’re a verbal processor, use a Voice Memo or Voice Note or a trusted friend to exchange messages with. Jane and I use Voxer to park our thoughts or reflections without the pressure of having to respond ‘in the moment’. 
• Reflect on the reflection: What did that reflection just show me? 

Questions for further guidance: 

• What moved me today?
• What flowed for me today? 
• What am I feeling? 
• What patterns are here that might be repeating?
