Alison’s September book recommendation is No Bad Parts by Dr. Richard C. Schwartz.

This compassionate introduction to Internal Family Systems explores the idea that we all have different inner “parts”—including protective, anxious, critical or wounded parts—and that none of them are inherently bad.

The book encourages readers to approach their inner experiences with curiosity rather than shame, understand the intentions behind their patterns and build greater self-compassion.

A thoughtful read for anyone interested in understanding themselves on a deeper level.

Have you read No Bad Parts? Let us know what stayed with you.

Are you a counsellor, clinician or helping professional looking for more ways to support clients who become stuck in a heightened threat response?

Join us for our September Mental Health & Wellness Webinar:

**Attuned Resourcing: Recalibrating Threat & Safety**

The amygdala helps us recognize and respond to danger. However, past experiences can sometimes condition the nervous system to react to relatively safe situations as though a real threat is present.

This practical webinar will explore how clinicians can help clients distinguish between real danger and relative safety, access internal resource states and develop greater choice in how they respond.

Participants will learn about:

• The amygdala and conditioned threat responses
• Real danger versus relative safety
• Why some clients struggle to access their internal resources
• Adaptable resourcing techniques for different client needs
• When and how to use resourcing in clinical work

This webinar is designed for clinicians and helping professionals who want practical, adaptable tools to bring into their work.

When most people hear OCD, they picture someone who likes things clean or organized.

But OCD is so much more than that.

For many people, it can involve intrusive thoughts that won't go away, compulsive behaviours, constant mental checking, and feeling trapped in exhausting cycles.

It's not about wanting everything to be perfect.
It's about trying to quiet anxiety that feels impossible to ignore.

If this resonates with you or someone you love, know that you're not alone—and support is available.

Mara provides a compassionate, non-judgmental space to help clients better understand OCD and develop tools to regain a sense of freedom and control.

💚 You don't have to manage it alone.

Healing doesn't always begin with words. Sometimes, it begins with connection.

Working alongside horses can help you:
🤍 Build self-awareness
🤍 Strengthen emotional regulation
🤍 Reduce stress and anxiety
🤍 Improve relationships and communication

No riding experience is needed—just an open mind and a willingness to grow.

What if the way you speak to yourself mattered just as much as the way you speak to the people you love?

Self-compassion isn't about ignoring your struggles—it's about meeting yourself with the same kindness you'd offer a friend.

As Jess reminds us:

"Healing and growth often begin with learning to relate to ourselves with greater kindness."

Growth doesn't come from perfection.
It grows from patience, compassion, and allowing yourself to be human.

💙 What's one kind thing you can say to yourself today?
