Writing about mental health from a feminist counselling perspective
I think it's so neat that in addition to the amazing local, in-person resources I often share with clients, there's a ton of really cool online offerings these days. From my perspective, these can be a great adjunct to therapy or a standalone resource, depending on what you're looking for. I think these resources look amazing and hope you will too. 1. No More Weighting: The Body Trust® e-Course “A six-week online course to help you rebuild body trust, rethink what the “problem” really is, and create a path that honors your physical health and emotional well-being.” I just love the whole idea of body trust, listening to yourself, and coming home. If you're curious about the work they do, they also have a Ted Talk, an episode on Dear Sugar (SO GREAT) and a super thorough free workbook on their website that you can download if you sign up for their newsletter. It asks questions like "when did you first learn that your body was a problem?"
2. On Being in Your Body On Being in Your Body: a guide to writing yourself “This course is for humans identifying as a womxn or non binary, that want to explore what it means to fully embody themselves, challenge the ways they have been conditioned to perform their existence, and write a manifesto about reclaiming their power.” If it was acceptable to do so, I would probably share every single Instagram post from this account. I love the combination of art and mindful, body-based prompts. Always thoughtful, and it's no wonder they've surpassed 10,000 followers. The e-course looks equally amazing. 3. Parenting with Purpose "An eight week immersion crafted to help you find fulfillment, value and purpose in your family life, without burning out." I had the pleasure of meeting Meg after she asked me to be a guest on her podcast, and I've always admired her down-to-earth approach. She very much embodies her message, and believes that the magic is in who we are, not what we do. I love the way she talks about social change work and think you will too. 4. The Therapist Mom Circle "Join us for a 1.5 hour ongoing process group discussing all things mother and therapist. We talk parenting challenges, case conceptualizations, sleeping nightmares, and everything else involved in your role as Therapist." Okay, very specific, but also... very appealing! 5. Big-Hearted Boundaries "Drawn from years of clinical experience as a Registered Psychologist, I created this course to help challenge the idea that being a good person means everyone else should come before you. This online course is a fantastic space to find yourself again, and start living in a way that's more sustainable, authentic, and in line with your values." It would be weird it if I had a list of online courses and didn't include my own, right? I'm pretty proud of this labour of love and hope you'll get as much out of it as I put into it. It includes 8 modules to help you reconnect with your body, let go of guilt, and rediscover the life energy you need to put into the things you care about.
