Stand In Your Confidence
I work with clients all the time who I help [to] stand in their confidence … if you are able to help people with the gifts and skill sets that you have, shout that from the rooftops, and you know what? The right people are going to come to you and support you, and the right people are going to come to be your clients. You're going to find your groove. (Janis R. Cohen)
You need to stand in your confidence in what it is that you do. Do not be apologetic or uncertain.
Most people have interests in the work that you openly enjoy doing, so appreciate your skills and abilities and put them to good use.
It may not be an easy journey in the beginning because this work is not for everybody, but if it is for you, then have passion for the work that you do and commit to expanding your skills and expertise.
Stepping Into Your GiftsOne of the first things to do, if you are feeling nervous about your work, is to address the fear that you feel may arise if you do fully step into your gifts. What is scary about explaining your work to people?
To me, getting comfortable with your gifts is [about] understanding the fact that it is who you are, and you have every right to not want to … publicize it, however, you are sacrificing who you are. You are risking not being able to influence and model for other people standing in your truth. (Janis R. Cohen)
Judgment is a big piece that people fear, but counter that by asking what if it helps people? What if you can teach people in your life the things that you know and do well? They can become some of your best supporters.
Finding Your Holistic CommunitySurround yourself with people who support and inspire you.
Talk to other people and build those connections that support because [it helps to know] other people who … experience this, who also promote themselves and have a business with whatever their holistic strategies are. (Chris McDonald)
Seek out colleagues, mentors, and advisors who either are in your current position or have been there who can help support you.
Join various groups and meet-ups, search for knowledge and you will find those who have similar interests and stories to yours.

What is the 4 C's model? How can it help female mental health clinicians redefine self-care and begin to recognize the unique challenges and needs they may face in their profession?
MEET Dr. Melissa Tiessen & Dr. Karen Dyck
Dr. Karen Dyck and Dr. Melissa Tiessen are clinical psychologists currently working in private practice in Manitoba, Canada, with many years of combined experience also working in publicly funded positions and non-profit organizations. In 2019 Karen and Melissa co-founded Intentional Therapist, designed to help mental health clinicians (especially females) redefine their approach to self-care. Their mission is to help female mental health clinicians move from simply surviving to thriving in both their work and personal roles and to put more of themselves into their schedules. Their hope is that through Intentional Therapist they can normalize self-care in all its forms (because it's not just bubble baths and massages), foster a dialogue about its foundational importance, and create a thriving community of like-minded female mental health clinicians.

Why do some people embark on spiritual journeys? How is the mind like a puppy when it comes to meditation? What can you do to make yourself "lighter"?

IN THIS PODCAST:
Why Would You Want To Embark On An Inward Facing Journey?
We hear people say "I want to be more present. I want to be in the present moment" and the reality is that you are never out of the present moment, it's just for a lot of us – a lot of the time – we don't like it and so we think there's something wrong, that I need to go out of my soul to find something to fix it. (Joe Gilbert)
Many people live on autopilot, unaware or dissociating from their current reality, and think that they need to achieve something other than themselves in order to find peace, or presence, in their current lived experience.
Going on an inward-facing journey means meeting your own needs so that you can be present in your reality without running away from it. You meet your needs, put your ego to rest and simply be, without worrying continually.
I knew I could not keep living my life the way I was living it … I always had existential questions … a lot of the times I would get the response "just don't think about it, no big deal" …there was this continual pull from me to question everything … self-inquiry to me is continuing to ask "what's true here?" And we find out what's true by stripping away what's false. (Joe Gilbert)
Surrendering helps you to let go of the structures that you hold onto that remain the perception of what you think your reality is. Surrender, and open yourself up.
Stilling Your MindFind what works for you, because some people need:
More movement:
People who find stillness in mind and spirit could try a form of yoga, tai chi, or a gentle hike to move the body without becoming over-excited.
To get rid of the script:
Get rid of the idea of what you think meditation and stillness look like because it is different for everyone.
To stop running:
Stop running from something, because yoga works well when you settle into the unknown and say "yes" to what comes up if it resonates with you and your Higher-self.
To trust your intuition:
This may take a little while, but use meditation as a way to get back in touch with your intuition, and you can even use your intuition to get in touch with meditation.
Treat your mind like an excited puppy. It will run off and get distracted and want to play and collide into a million things at once, but you accept it for where it is and you do not yell at it because you understand that it is new to the world, just as your mind is new to meditation.
Travel LighterWe just travel lighter [so] we don't take ourselves so seriously, and when I'm not taking myself so seriously, I don't have much to defend, I don't get so defensive … I don't get addicted looking for something that is going to somehow save me. (Joe Gilbert)
Through embarking on an inward journey you can travel lighter through life. By completing a spiritual journey and figuring out who you really are, what is really important, and what you really want to focus your energy and attention on, you become lighter.
When you know what is important to you, you can release all the rest that is weighing you down and keeping you stuck in the past and stuck in old habits that no longer serve you.
