Discover Your Level of Support

At Unwind your Mind Therapies, we’re dedicated to guiding you toward the level of support that aligns perfectly with your unique situation. Your well-being and your family’s are our priority, and we’re here to ensure you access the ideal support you need. As you journey through our services, you can expect your support needs to decrease over time. This positive shift is a result of harnessing your informal support systems, utilizing tools, strategies, and embracing personal growth.

Critical Support

(May involve therapy, but we highly recommend additional intensive support alongside regular assessment and reviews.)
If you're facing multiple complex challenges and crises that demand a multifaceted approach, Critical Support is designed for you. We understand that limited protective factors and increased risk factors can put your safety and well-being, as well as that of your family, at stake. Our goal is to provide you with immediate comprehensive assistance to alleviate these concerns and enhance your quality of life.

High Level Support

(May involve therapy, complemented by additional services with regular assessment and reviews.)
When you and your family require support in multiple areas, High Level Support is the pathway to choose. While some protective factors are in place, persistent risk factors still pose significant threats to your well-being and functioning. Even if personal supports and resources are limited, we collaborate closely with you to address the numerous challenges and create a foundation for positive change.

Medium Level of Support

(Clients can access a variety of services, including Therapy and Groups.)
For those grappling with 3-6 issues impacting both individual and family well-being, the Medium Level of Support is tailored to your needs. You already have some supports in place, along with existing strategies and skills. Our sessions can be scheduled every 1-2 weeks, adapting to your circumstances and level of crisis as necessary.

Low Level of Support

(Clients don't require external referrals or additional support.)
Clients with a robust support network, effective strategies, and positive individual and family functioning find value in Low Level Support. While you're in a good place, you can still benefit from group sessions or short to long-term Therapy. With appointments spaced every 2 weeks, we're here to provide guidance should your support needs remain low.

Short Term Support

(Clients needing limited support and sessions to enhance functioning.)
If you're dealing with 1-2 issues and already have protective factors and supports in place, Short Term Support is designed to improve your functioning. Your individual and family well-being is relatively stable, and there are no imminent safety risks. Following an assessment period, appointments every 2 weeks can help maintain your progress. At Unwind your Mind Therapies, we're committed to being your partner in this journey toward a better quality of life. Contact us today to begin your path to enhanced well-being and personal growth. Your mental health matters, and we're here to support you every step of the way.

Anxiety and Depression

  1. Normalcy of High and Low Intensity Emotions: It’s important to recognize that experiencing both high and low intensity emotions is a normal part of being human. Life is filled with ups and downs, and emotions are a natural response to various situations and circumstances.
  2. Variety of Emotions: These emotional states can manifest in different forms, such as anxiety and depression. Anxiety might arise from feelings of uncertainty, fear, or worry about future events. Depression, on the other hand, might stem from feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and low energy.
  3. Understanding and Awareness: Developing self-awareness and understanding of your emotional states is key. Being able to recognize and label your emotions can help you navigate them more effectively.
  4. Coping Strategies: Building a toolbox of coping strategies is crucial. These strategies can include mindfulness practices, deep breathing exercises, journaling, engaging in hobbies, seeking social support, and more. Different strategies work for different people, so it’s important to explore what resonates with you.
  5. Functionality and Well-being: The goal isn’t necessarily to eliminate these emotions, but rather to manage them in a way that allows you to maintain a sufficient level of functioning and well-being. It’s about finding a balance that lets you navigate life’s challenges without being overwhelmed.
  6. Increasing Insight and Understanding: Gaining insight into the root causes of your emotions can be valuable. Sometimes, these emotions are responses to past experiences, learned behaviors, or thought patterns. Therapy or counseling can provide a space to explore these underlying factors.
  7. Personal Growth: Through self-discovery and personal growth, you can expand your toolkit of coping mechanisms. Over time, you’ll become better equipped to handle high and low intensity situations and build resilience.
  8. Effective Functioning: The ultimate aim is to manage these emotional states effectively so that they don’t hinder your daily life. This includes maintaining relationships, pursuing your goals, and enjoying a sense of fulfilment.

Remember that seeking professional help when dealing with intense emotional states is also a crucial step. Mental health professionals can provide guidance, support, and evidence-based interventions to help you navigate these experiences. The journey to managing and coping with high and low intensity emotions is unique for each individual, and it’s okay to ask for help along the way.

Trauma

  1. Trauma’s Varied Manifestations: Trauma can manifest in various forms, including physical, emotional, or psychological experiences that overwhelm an individual’s ability to cope. These experiences can range from significant life events to ongoing stressors and can lead to a range of emotional and physiological responses.

  2. Impact on Brain Architecture: Trauma can indeed influence the development of brain architecture and neural pathways. The brain’s response to traumatic experiences can lead to changes in the way neural connections are formed, impacting how we process emotions, memories, and stress.

  3. Functioning in Lower Brain Stem: Trauma can lead to a heightened state of vigilance and sensitivity in the central nervous system (CNS). This can result in a heightened “fight or flight” response, causing us to function more from the lower brain stem, which is associated with survival instincts and immediate reactions.

  4. Inhibition of Frontal Cortex: The ongoing effects of trauma may hinder our ability to fully engage the frontal cortex, which is responsible for higher-order thinking, decision-making, reasoning, and emotional regulation. This can lead to difficulties in managing emotions, making thoughtful choices, and planning for the future.

  5. Self-Acceptance and Understanding: Understanding how trauma affects brain functioning can provide a platform for self-acceptance and self-compassion. Recognizing that these responses are a natural result of the brain’s attempts to cope with trauma can help reduce self-blame and judgment.

  6. Functioning and Coping: Acknowledging the impact of trauma on brain function can also offer insights into why certain behaviors, thoughts, and emotional reactions occur. This understanding can empower individuals to seek appropriate coping mechanisms and therapies that target the specific effects of trauma on their neural pathways.

  7. Holistic Approach: Healing from trauma often involves a holistic approach that combines therapy, self-care, and support. Therapies like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) are designed to address the neurological and emotional impacts of trauma.

  8. Recovery and Growth: While trauma can have lasting effects, the brain’s plasticity allows for the potential to reshape neural pathways and develop healthier coping mechanisms. With time, therapeutic interventions, and self-awareness, individuals can work towards restoring balance and function to their brain’s architecture.

Problem Solving

  1. Importance of Problem-Solving: Problem-solving is a critical skill that helps us navigate various situations and challenges in our lives. It involves identifying issues, generating potential solutions, evaluating their effectiveness, and implementing the best course of action.

  2. Being Present and Focused: Successful problem-solving requires being present in the moment and maintaining focus on the task at hand. This means setting aside distractions, managing stress, and dedicating your attention to analyzing and addressing the issue.

  3. Adaptability to Curve Balls: Life is unpredictable, and unexpected challenges (curve balls) can arise at any time. Being adaptable and open to change is essential for effectively dealing with these curve balls. It’s about acknowledging the new situation and adjusting your problem-solving approach accordingly.

  4. Seeing the Light at the End of the Tunnel: Maintaining a positive outlook and envisioning a positive outcome, even during difficult times, can provide motivation and hope. Visualizing a “light at the end of the tunnel” encourages you to persevere and work towards a better future.

  5. Clear Steps for Positive Outcomes: Developing a step-by-step plan to address challenges helps break down overwhelming situations into manageable tasks. Each step taken toward a positive outcome contributes to a sense of progress and achievement.

  6. Resilience and Coping: The ability to see the light at the end of the tunnel is a form of resilience. Resilience involves bouncing back from adversity, learning from setbacks, and using challenges as opportunities for growth. It’s about finding strength and motivation even when faced with difficult circumstances.

  7. Strategies for Problem-Solving: Effective problem-solving involves various strategies, such as brainstorming, considering different perspectives, seeking advice from others, breaking down complex problems, and testing solutions through trial and error.

  8. Mindset and Optimism: Cultivating a positive mindset and maintaining optimism can significantly impact how you approach challenges. A positive attitude can enhance creativity, foster resilience, and improve your overall problem-solving abilities.

  9. Seeking Support: While individual problem-solving is important, seeking support from friends, family, mentors, or professionals can provide additional perspectives and insights. Collaborative problem-solving can lead to more well-rounded solutions.

  10. Learning and Growth: Embracing challenges and effectively solving problems can lead to personal and professional growth. Each problem you overcome adds to your experience and skillset, making you better equipped to handle future obstacles.

Connections and Relationships

  1. Inherent Need for Connection: Humans are social beings, and our need for connection and relationships is deeply ingrained in our nature. From an evolutionary perspective, forming connections and relationships has helped ensure our survival and well-being as a species.

  2. Seeking Close Relationships: We naturally gravitate towards forming close and meaningful relationships with others. These relationships provide us with emotional support, companionship, and a sense of belonging.

  3. Skills for Effective Relationships: Developing social skills and understanding social dynamics is crucial for building and maintaining effective relationships. Effective communication, empathy, active listening, and conflict resolution are among the skills that contribute to healthy interactions with others.

  4. Social Situations and Variables: Social situations can be complex, involving various variables such as cultural norms, personal preferences, and emotional states. Understanding and navigating these variables enhances our ability to engage with others in ways that are respectful, considerate, and supportive.

  5. Benefits of Social Inclusion: Social inclusion benefits both individuals and communities. It fosters a sense of unity, reduces feelings of isolation, and promotes mutual understanding. Inclusion encourages diversity and enriches our perspectives by bringing together people from different backgrounds and experiences.

  6. Sense of Self and Belonging: Maintaining a good sense of self while being socially inclusive is important. It involves being authentic and true to yourself while also valuing and respecting the diversity of others. This balance contributes to a positive self-image and a strong sense of belonging within a community.

  7. Empathy and Compassion: Being socially inclusive requires cultivating empathy and compassion. Understanding and acknowledging the feelings and experiences of others fosters meaningful connections and helps create an environment where everyone feels valued and heard.

  8. Creating Supportive Environments: Being socially inclusive involves creating spaces and communities where individuals feel safe, accepted, and free to express themselves. Such environments contribute to emotional well-being and overall life satisfaction.

  9. Continuous Learning: Social interactions and relationships are dynamic and ever-evolving. Continuously learning and adapting your social skills based on experiences and feedback contributes to the quality of your relationships.

  10. Mutual Growth and Fulfillment: Meaningful relationships provide opportunities for personal growth, learning, and mutual fulfillment. Engaging in supportive relationships allows individuals to share their strengths and challenges, leading to collective progress.

Social Skills

Being part of a group comes naturally to us as humans. We’re wired to want connections and relationships, especially with people we’re close to. And guess what? Having good social skills is like having a secret weapon for making this happen and growing in a positive way.

Imagine social situations as a kind of puzzle, with lots of different pieces. If we understand how these pieces fit together, we can build relationships that really mean something. Social skills are like the tools in our toolbox that help us build these awesome connections.

It’s like this: when we get what’s going on in social situations and know how to react, it’s easier to get along with others. And when we’re good at understanding and respecting others, it helps everyone feel included and appreciated.

But here’s the thing: while we’re busy getting along with others, we shouldn’t forget who we are. Keeping a strong sense of ourselves and knowing where we fit in is just as important. It’s like having a sturdy anchor while sailing on the social seas.

So, remember, having great social skills is like having a superpower for making friends and building relationships that feel just right. It’s about being yourself, understanding others, and creating a place where everyone belongs.

Confidence

Confidence is a powerful force that can be shaped by our inner thoughts and feelings. Our inner world can either uplift us or hold us back. By cultivating strong motivations and seeking knowledge about our internal landscape, we gain a deeper understanding of what can chip away at our confidence. Armed with this understanding, we can tackle situations with a newfound assurance and navigate the obstacles that come our way.

Think of it like this: when we recognize the things that boost our confidence and the factors that diminish it, we can take charge of our own journey. Learning about ourselves and our triggers equips us to step into various situations with a stronger sense of self and purpose. It’s like having a map that guides us through the challenges and uncertainties.

So, by investing in self-awareness and learning from our experiences, we build a reservoir of inner strength. This inner strength empowers us to confidently face life’s twists and turns, knowing that we have the tools to overcome the hurdles and seize the opportunities that lie ahead.

Self Spaces

Within the realm of “self,” there exist various dimensions such as self-worth, confidence, self-image, and self-esteem. Our internal landscape is composed of these interconnected spaces, shaping our sense of identity and how we engage with the world. Yet, the stories we tell ourselves, along with the beliefs and values we’ve internalized over time, can sometimes hinder our well-being and ability to thrive.

Imagine these narratives as threads that weave the fabric of our self-perception. Some of these threads are vibrant and supportive, while others might be limiting or negative. These narratives, often shaped by past experiences and external influences, have a profound impact on how we perceive ourselves and how we navigate life’s challenges.

By delving into our inner world and exploring these different facets of the self, we embark on a journey of self-discovery. This process allows us to identify areas where our self-perception may be holding us back or causing distress. Think of it like shining a light on hidden corners of a room; we expose areas that need attention and transformation.

It’s essential to recognize that the narratives we carry can be changed and improved. Just as we can reshape our physical environment, we possess the power to reshape our mental landscape. By working on and challenging deep-rooted beliefs, outdated thought patterns, and cognitive shortcuts, we open the door to personal growth and positive change.

Through introspection and intentional effort, we can cultivate a healthier self-space. We can replace self-doubt with self-assurance, rewrite the stories that no longer serve us, and develop a more compassionate relationship with ourselves. This process doesn’t erase our past, but it empowers us to redefine our present and shape a more fulfilling and enriching future.

Support Networks

Building a reliable network of support is a crucial component of the therapeutic journey. Beyond the professional assistance we seek, having external sources of support plays a vital role in fostering positive change. When a strong network is in place, it serves as a safety net, enhancing the therapeutic experience and creating a more comprehensive foundation for growth.

Think of this network as a web of connections that extends beyond therapy sessions. These connections might include friends, family, mentors, or support groups. Each part in this network contributes to a person’s overall well-being and provides additional resources for navigating challenges.

Having a robust support network offers several benefits. First, it provides a diverse range of perspectives and insights, which can enhance the therapeutic process by offering different viewpoints and experiences. Second, it ensures that a person has access to various interventions and strategies, both within and outside the therapy context. This comprehensive approach increases the chances of successful outcomes.

Additionally, a solid support network offers continuous assistance beyond scheduled therapy sessions. It serves as a source of encouragement during difficult moments and provides a sense of belonging and connection. This sense of belonging can contribute to a person’s motivation and commitment to the change process.

In essence, a well-established network complements and enriches the therapeutic journey. It amplifies the impact of therapy, extends the range of available resources, and reinforces a person’s sense of agency and empowerment. By tapping into this network, individuals can create a more holistic approach to healing and personal development.
