Six steps to mindfully deal with arising emotions

IFS 

Finding Inner Harmony

We all have different sides of ourselves - parts that feel confident, parts that feel hurt, parts that try to keep us safe, and parts that carry our pain. Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy helps you gently meet and understand these inner parts so you can live with more clarity, compassion, and self-leadership. IFS views the mind as a system made up of distinct “parts,” each with its own feelings, beliefs, and roles - much like members of a family. Some parts may carry fear, shame, or grief, while others work hard to protect you or keep life running smoothly. All of them have good intentions, even when their strategies cause distress.

EMDR

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing

Healing Trauma at Its Core
Trauma can leave the mind feeling stuck - as though you’re reliving the past over and over. EMDR therapy helps your brain reprocess these memories so they no longer hold the same emotional intensity, allowing you to move forward with greater ease.

How EMDR Works
Our brains are naturally wired to heal, much like our bodies. When trauma disrupts this process, painful memories can remain unprocessed, causing symptoms such as flashbacks, anxiety, and depression. EMDR uses gentle, bilateral stimulation - often through guided eye movements - to activate your brain’s natural ability to process and integrate difficult experiences.
This approach is based on how the brain works during Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep, when it naturally processes memories and emotions. In EMDR, you remain fully aware and in control, but your brain is given the right conditions to do the healing work it’s been trying to do all along.

Lauren wishes to acknowledge the land where she does her healing and her work. She strives to be in better connection with the Earth. This includes acknowledging and honouring the peoples who have been in relationship to the land long before European settlement and colonization. In the spirit of respect, reciprocity and truth, we honour and acknowledge Moh’kinsstis, and the traditional Treaty 7 territory and oral practices of the Blackfoot confederacy: Siksika, Kainai, Piikani, îethka Nakoda Nations: Chiniki, Bearspaw, Goodstoney and Tsuut’ina Nation. We acknowledge that this territory is home to the Otipemisiwak Métis Government of the Métis Nation within Alberta Districts 5 and 6. Finally, we acknowledge all Nations – Indigenous and non – who live, work and play on this land, and who honour and celebrate this territory. She is grateful for the ability to love this land, and she takes her responsibility towards it seriously.
