Happy to now be a fully Certified EMDR therapist through EMDRIA

I fell in love with EMDR when I witnessed its capacity to relieve some symptoms for people who never thought relief was possible.

EMDR is one of the many interventions that I practice. If you are interested in learning more if EMDR therapy is for you book a free consult. 🩷

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a psychotherapy approach designed to help people process and heal from distressing or traumatic memories. It works by using bilateral stimulation, such as side-to-side eye movements, to help the brain reprocess painful memories, reducing their emotional intensity and impact.

Developed by Francine Shapiro in the late 1980s, EMDR is especially effective for PTSD and other trauma-related conditions. It helps individuals gain relief from symptoms like flashbacks, anxiety, and negative self-beliefs, fostering a sense of emotional resilience and well-being.🩷

Thought about therapy? Not sure, nervous? Maybe even a bit hesitant to move through some of life’s tough stuff.
I get it! It can be scary, overwhelming or a combination of all those uncomfortable feels.

If you want to learn what it could look like and see if my unique gentle warm approach could be beneficial to you reach out and book a meet and greet.

It may even be covered by your insurance 🩷🌱

For many grounding, meditation and mindful activities and even slowing down or deepening breathing can feel distressful or even unsafe. Here are a few ways to flirt with the edges of grounding or anchoring that I often use in practice or have even for myself as a person who would go into panic in meditation or even yoga.

It Is okay and even perfectly normal for You to feel distress or not feel safe or calm when doing grounding work, mindfulnesS, visualization, AND or breathwork. Especially for those who have experienced significant overwHelm and trauma.

What are some ways that you have used to feel safe in your body or help orient to the present moment.

Please like/share/ comment if it resonates with you. 💗

💗🥺Sometimes Baddies Get Saddles 🥹💗

Sometimes things get hard
Sometimes they feel impossible
Sometimes you loose hope
Sometimes its hard to see tomorrow
Sometimes you just need to take some time from the world
Sometimes all you can do is put one foot in front if the other

Here is a compilation of resources that help me get through some of those tough days and feel through them 💗💦☀️🌸

What helps you be with your sad days? What are your resources?

Over the past 4 years I have fallen in love with EMDR and its capacity to resolve complex issues especially for those who never thought that would be possible. Many clients have said when doing EMDR that it was their first time they have felt like they were doing therapy. 💗🫶

Not every approach is suitable for everyone and EMDR doesn’t always fit with every person. In full transparency the first time I was in the client seat doing EMDR I did NOT love it. I felt nauseous and it hurt my eyes. Learning that there are different ways of administering EMDR through various bilateral stimulation I found a BLS that worked for me. It just took time and openess to exploring what worked for me.

You can get all the juicey info on EMDR at EMDRIA.org
And if you want to explore if EMDR is a good fit for you lets book a free consult. 🌸🫶💗

Hustle Heal Motivate Psychotherapy
HHM was inspired from my personal journey, a lifetime of existing in survival. My struggle through life’s tough stuff has had a profound impact on me shaping the person I am today, allowing me to navigate through life’s challenges in unique ways. This birthed my HUSTLE, my desire to HEAL, to shift and disrupt my narrative that was created for me, I was MOTIVATEd to become everything I was told I couldn’t.

After many years of being street involved, witnessing my community being targeted by police, impacted by social policy and decimated by overdose deaths, I was sponsored to enter university as a mature student. Access to academia allowed me to break generational barriers while developing new ways to create change for my community. A life defining moment at 8 months pregnant, I earned a B.A. graduating on the Honour List.

Since then I have dedicated my efforts to working with people from a life that I intimately knew by providing a harm reduction approach to crisis support, frontline counseling and advocacy for some of the most oppressed and marginalized populations including street based sex workers, homeless populations, people who use drugs, and prisoners.

I have been awarded for my ongoing efforts to challenge harmful drug policies and anti-sex work laws and for my activism for sex workers’ and drug users’ rights. In 2016, I received a Master’s in Public Policy, Admin and Law where I completed my thesis Remembering Bedford, on the impacts of the criminalization sex work. This research was published in the international journal Sex Work and has been referenced in MacLean’s, NOW magazine, and legal hearings confrounting criminalization.

Somatic Orienting Exercise 🌸💕🙏

Orienting to the present moment can be really helpful for regulating and coming into the present. BUT can be extremely challanging for some. It can be helpful for find something you love or feels good to look at and just move through your sences.

1. Look at the colours textures, shapes.
2. Listen to the sounds and those sounds deep within those sounds
3. Touch, feel, how does it feel in your body when you touch.
4. Taste when possible. Even just move your tongue around slowly in your mouth and just notice how that feels.

Repeat as many times. You can chose 1 thing to orient to. It does not need to be 5-4-3-2-1

Start where there is the most comfort for you. And practice and play.

I choose my garden every morning when in bloom but it can be anything and unique to you. 💞

👇👇👇👇👇

What would you love to use to orient to for this exercise.

NO MORE WAITLIST.

2024 Let’s get to the teal bag peace, health and wellness ✨💰🧘‍♀️🌸🫶✨

48 hour fast was the best way to end the year and test my limits in new ways! 2023 we introduced a weekly fast on sundays and this allowed us to challange ouselves a bit more and flirt with the edges of our limits.

End of the year post are beyond inspiring to hear everything everyone has accomplished and goals that yall kiilled. I celebrate with you all. 🙏💞💰👏 KEEP KILLING IT.

But this year feels so different with an active genocide happening in frount of us, the dead bodies to wake up to every morning, not only in Palestine but in other countries that are much more hidden from our guise, All the Friends and family and loved ones that many of us lost from a tainted drug supply, suicide and violence.

if all you can do is put one foot in frount of the other that deserves a celebration cause 2023 tested so many peoples limits. 🫶🥹

This is why I fast, to pray and find a way to test my limits in ways that can help me shed the pain, greif, struggle I experience and carry for others while searching new ways to exist in a world that can be so fucking challenging for so many.

Today we feast and walk away from the past and all or has taught us (even the pain) with new oppertunities and ways to move forward .

Happy New Year! New Beginnings, new learnings and new opportunities.

Wholeheartedly,

Hustle Heal Motivate 🫶✨💞🙏

My Grandmothers’s Hands was published on 2017 and to date is still one of the most influential and important books I own. Referred to as “A revolutionary work of beauty, brilliance, compassion and hope”. This book reminds us that racialized trauma and the impact of white supremacy exists in all our bodies, our cells and expressions of our genes. Resmaa teachings of how to heal our bodies and communities is so important in our existing climate.

What books have impacted your life and shifted the way that you see the world?

Balancing bird is a beautiful fun way to learn to be present and play with the edges of being in your body.

For so many people who have experienced a world of trauma existing outside our bodies has served as means of protection.

After establishing safety and being able to sit in and experience your internal experience can be so liberating.

Resmaa Menkem reminds us that our trauma is not a flaw or weakness. 💖

It is not an event.

Trauma is our body’s protective response to perceived threat. This threat can be real, inaccurate, or entirely imaginary.

If Glimmers Were Nails 💖✨💅🏻

Learning about trauma and healing trauma is so fucking important.

We also need to invite glimmers into our healing process. ✨✨✨

Glimmers are those glimpses of hope. Those moments of relief or moments when your nervous system experiences safety.

If you were to integrate a glimmers into your life what would that look like for you?

Mine was glimmer nails obviously! Every-time I look at my sparkly nails I experience that glimmery spot. ✨

Opening up to appreciating every loss as a lesson, every setback as a new opportunity for growth and the gratitude that all experiences allow one to become their true self 💖✨

I will help parents and caregivers to develop tools and resources to take a harm reduction approach to talking to youth about sex and drug use.
To register for this free series, or for more information please email arleneyjane@gmail. Com or jenn@conc.ca

Honoured to be sharing my work and passion at the ANSWERS 1st National Sex Workers Assembly 💖

The Impacts of Criminalization on Mental Health

Arleney’s presentation will discuss how psychotherapy often fails sex workers through psychpathologizing sex work instead of focusing on building trust, respect, and rapport with sex-working clients. In addition, Arleney will discuss how whorephobia, stigma, discriminatory and anti- sex work policies and laws impact mental health. Arleney will close her conversation by inviting participation on reclaiming what self-care looks like for sex workers and our unique needs for mental health and wellness.
Presented in English (French Translation Available) ; Presenter will be virtual

One of my fave new therapy tools for in person EMDR ✨
“EMDR is a bizarre and wonderous treatment” Bessel A. van der Kolk. I am absolutely in love the capabilities of EMDR treatment and its wonderously bizarre ways. ✨💖🙏

There are a few ways to practice EMDR and every one offers something unique. Traditionally a light bar is used for bilateral eye stimulation which I have grown to learn is challanging for people with sensitive eyes. This new tool is placed in your hands as it vibrates intermittantly offering another way to experience EMDR.

Francine Shapiro the creator of this treatment beautifully captures its essence by stating “The goal of EMDR is to metabolize the dysfunctional residue from the past and transform it into something useful”
