Change vs Transition
By Karen
Distinctions exist between change and transitions.
Change pertains to situational shifts, like the arrival of a newborn or a relocation to a different city. On the other hand, transitions are psychological; they transcend specific events. They involve a process of reorientation and self-definition that is necessary to assimilate these changes into one's life effectively.
Transitions are essential for ensuring that a change becomes a lasting and integral part of one's life.

Seniors are starting therapy later in life
We have seen a shift in attitudes towards mental health, and more seniors are seeking psychological counselling or therapy later in life. As societal perceptions evolve and awareness about mental health grows, the stigma associated with seeking help has diminished. This positive change allows seniors to recognize the importance of addressing emotional and psychological well-being.
From Wellness to Wholeness
Have you ever found yourself in a conversation with someone and you start feeling that connection- saying Yes! Yes! That is how I feel!
I love that feeling and I am still basking in that afterglow after reading this article by Elise Loehnen.
The reframe from Wellness to Wholeness begins with cultivating the space to explore what is really going on inside of us- and to embrace it with awareness and acceptance.
Like most things, this is easier said than done- but so necessary to build a solid foundation on which to discover our true self.
