Skip to content Booking THERAPY INTENSIVES FOR May and June!
We usually think of mindfulness as noticing our breath or paying attention to the present moment, but there’s another angle: noticing the little storylines our brain creates from everyday life. Instead of drifting through routines on autopilot, we invite you to bring awareness to your expectations and the “scripts” we follow without even realizing it.
When we face difficult situations and emotions, we often turn to our loved ones and express ourselves. Sometimes they can help alleviate the heaviness of our emotions by simply lending an ear. But have you ever been asked too many questions, given advice that you did not want, or overlooked because they jumped to problem-solving your situation? When really, all you wanted was to let go of the pressing weight of the situation and feel understood and validated by them.
This week, we’re exploring active listening skills that we can use in our conversations to foster deeper connections.
Autism is a spectrum, which means that every autistic individual has a different experience. This week, we’ll share some autistic individuals’ stories and how they describe their experience.
Have you ever moved aside to make space for someone to walk by you in a crowded area without ever exchanging a word? Or have you ever picked up on someone’s excitement about a topic before they even said a word? In both of these examples, you received a message that was communicated nonverbally. So even if they never said a word, you still understood them.
This week, let’s explore how we convey information through nonverbal communication.
What is one conversation that has positively stuck with you? What made it memorable? Interesting? Fun? Engaging? Most importantly, how can you make more memorable and interesting conversations?
Communication is the act of transferring information from one person to another. Effective communication is the successful conveying or sharing of one’s ideas or feelings. Below are 10 practices you can start using to help you develop better communication skills.

This week we are diving into Communication Skills. The importance of practicing this skill, how we can improve, and how becoming a better listener plays a big role.
Congratulations on taking this step!
We look forward to working with you!
