The Ongoing Battle of the Two Selves

by LindsayDupuisupdated on October 22, 2020July 19, 2019Leave a Comment on The Ongoing Battle of the Two Selves

We all have different faces that we wear depending on the people we’re around and the situation we’re in. For example, the person we are at work is different than the person we are at home, with friends, around our romantic partner, and so on. But, when it comes to our mental health, it can …

The Importance of Reconnecting With Your Values

by LindsayDupuisupdated on October 26, 2020July 19, 2019Leave a Comment on The Importance of Reconnecting With Your Values

We all get lost from time to time. That’s part of being human. Sometimes life throws you unexpected curveballs, but sometimes you make a series of decisions that, without realizing it at the time, end up throwing you so far off course that you wake up with the realization, one day, that you hardly recognize …

How Meditation Can Improve Your Life

by LindsayDupuisupdated on March 2, 2021July 18, 2019Leave a Comment on How Meditation Can Improve Your Life

I’m an avid meditator. I’ve been meditating since my undergraduate years in university. To this day, I do my best to commit 15 minutes each morning to the practice as well as attend a 1-3 hour group meditation on weekends.  Up to 3 hours… First, sitting for 25 minutes. Self-supported, dignified, upright posture. Eyes resting …

  • It’s said that our resiliency is influenced approximately 50% by our genetic set point, 10% by our circumstances, and 40% by intentional activity. While we can’t always control our circumstances, this leaves us a beautiful 40% window to work with through the mindset we choose to adopt, and through the actions that we take each day. Some of the ways I enjoy cultivating resiliency are through therapeutic journaling, meaningful discussions with those I’m closest to, regular physical activity, and presence in my everyday experiences as often as I can. What are some of the intentional activities that keep you resilient? Photo by Paula Brustur on Unsplash
  • I’m happy to have a new therapy assistant! Her name is Gateau, and she’s an 11-year-old rescue who we brought home last month. Gateau is an excellent role model, as she knows very well how to keep her baseline nervous system state in ventral parasympathic. She can often be seen by my online clients sleeping on the couch behind me. Welcome to my practice, Gateau :)
  • We can't be certain that any one person will like us or continue liking us. When we try to hard to please everyone, we lose our sense of self, we're not self-directed, and we become uninteresting. It's better to cultivate our own values and compatible relationships and friendships rather than worrying about trying to please everyone.
  • You have a unique set of experiences, a unique knowledge base, unique privileges, and unique resources. You hold value because of this individuality, and others can learn from you. But, you are not better than anyone. The same holds true for everyone. You are simply different. You can learn from the unique experiences and knowledge base of others, too. Through open-mindedness and acceptance of the reality that we are not especially important, we remain humble. And, through our humility, our connection to others grows stronger.
  • Let go of what is popular, status-enhancing, or otherwise preferred by the majority if this is not truly you! If you are running into roadblocks or things aren’t working out in the way you’d hoped, you may have something to learn. Take a step back, reflect, and reconsider where your energy is going. Come back to what is most meaningful to you, and include the people in life who will support you on your journey.
  • Not many of my online clients get a chance to see a full view of my home therapy office, so I thought I’d share a piece of it here today! As the poet Robert Frost wrote, “the only way out is through.” I believe this is very much true when it comes to psychotherapy. Many individuals have found their way through past conditioning by working together with me through my home computer screen. So much healing, so much growth, so much deconditioning, and letting go. If meeting face-to-face is your preference, I invite you to my clinic space on Cathedral Lane in downtown Halifax, Nova Scotia (2nd and 3rd photos). Now offering sessions on Wednesdays. I’m happy to share these spaces with you :)
