In this post, we’ll share what you can expect from a Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy session and how to prepare for your first session.
Have you ever heard the saying, “You can’t love someone else until you’ve loved yourself”? But, despite that saying, do you find it easier to love others than to love yourself?
This week, you’ll learn how loving others can show you how to love parts of yourself, how to show yourself unconditional welcome when self-love feels difficult, and concrete techniques to start practicing self-love and self-compassion.
One of the first skills we learn in order to be productive is time management. We block out set times to do set tasks and schedule all of our time down to the minute, even for the bathroom break.
Managing our growing list of tasks meant we had to manage our time if we wanted to get anything done. But, while time management is important, let’s look at another way to approach our productivity: energy management.
For the most part, multitasking is considered a “necessary part of work” in most jobs. It seems like a good way to get a lot of tasks done and to be productive, but no matter how much we may take pride in our multitasking skills, we may not be actually as good as we think we are at multitasking.
Further, this week you’ll learn how
“Doing it all gets nothing done.”

The holiday season is the time we’re told we’re allowed to “relax” and spend time with family, yet it tends to be busy, and often before we can catch our breath, we return to work.
Whether you find comfort in or feel stressed about returning to work, have you taken the moment to pause and check in on how you’re doing after the switch? Let’s take this moment together to pause and check in on ourselves.
Some comments or actions we may tend to take personally. It may feel like the other person is attacking, snubbing, dismissing, or disrespecting us. Even if we know it’s a trivial moment, we ruminate and roll the situation around in our head for days on end. In the end, we’ve spent a lot of emotional energy, and we may bottle our hurt and frustration.
This week, we’ll learn how to stop taking things personally, how to detect these situations, and how to regulate ourselves when we’re in the midst of stewing over them.
Have you had a full night’s sleep yet still feel tired and sluggish throughout the day? Or, have you taken a day off from work but still feel drained? It doesn’t feel like you’ve gotten enough rest even after holiday vacations.
Well, maybe you do have enough rest, but you haven’t rejuvenated yourself.
It’s the new year, and maybe you already have a shiny new list of goals you would like to achieve this year in the different pillars of your life; maybe it’s a recycled list of goals that you weren’t able to get to this past year; or, maybe you haven’t even started your new year’s resolutions list.
Before or as you consider your new year’s resolutions, we offer you to shift your mindset: instead of setting goals, consider setting systems.
The holidays are described as a time of giving: giving gifts, giving our time, or giving to charity. We give to others, but are we remembering to give to ourselves as well?
Whether or not you are enjoying the celebrations, family or other gatherings, and holiday spirit, these few weeks can be overwhelming and stressful with the weight of expectations, obligations, traditions, or loss. The weight of these stresses can muddle our thoughts and dampen our mood, but one way we can gain mental clarity is by journaling.
