Hey there! I am so excited to start this adventure that I already launched the website. Yes, as of August 25, 2024, there is only one post on the whole website! The funny thing is about a year and a half ago, I was going to start a blog. I even designed a website and everything. The problem was I had no idea what to write about. Now I have ideas flowing through my mind constantly. It’s crazy how much can change in such a short amount of time.
For this welcome post, I just wanted to explain my vision for this blog a little more in-depth. I am currently pursuing my master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling and my counseling license after that. Since beginning my studies and working in the field more, I have come to love different aspects of the counseling field. And let me tell you, there are about a million.
To start with this blog, I want to go over some basics of different terms, such as trauma, narcissism, gaslighting, emotional regulation, and other concepts we see but don’t always understand. After introducing concepts, I would love to dig deeper into each one and make it easy to understand and relevant to you and others.
Some other fun topics I’ve chosen to start with include the Polyvagal Theory, pets, yoga, meditation, and exercise. Since I also have a bachelor’s in exercise science, or kinesiology, I also have a big passion for fitness. There are multiple benefits to exercise including physical and mental health. Fun fact: my favorite is resistance training, and I hate cardio!
Regulating our emotions is a skill we use Every. Dang. Day. I would love to share tips and tricks for you to use and help you learn new and improved ways that work for you!
I am no writing professional, I am not a blogger by nature, and this is all incredibly new for me. Join me for this new adventure and hopefully, we can all learn and improve ourselves together.
