📚I couldn’t end the challenge without writing about #saudade.

❤️This is something many of us who live abroad feel often I think, whether we have a word for it in our language or not.

❤️It represents an absence. A yearning. It’s a deep emotional state of nostalgic or profound melancholic longing for something or someone that one cares for and/or loves.

📚When I was little my mom created a tradition of reading us a story every night.

📚This book in particular, Gypsy Folk Tales by Diane Tong, had us captivated.

📚This book, which I’m holding on to to read to my own children when they’re old enough, brings me that feeling of saudade.

📚Do you have a special book that you remember from your childhood?

Or are there any family memories that bring you saudade?

The past 15 months have been rough.

Worldwide rough.

And while there is a glimmer hope and things are improving, there is a lot of residual hurt that might arise as we move forward.

Th arrival of the coronavirus has meant a lot of difficult situations for many people.

So honestly, I’m #inspired by you.

Yes, you.

All of you reading this and those who aren’t.

Inspired by you who are in this lived experience.

Inspired by you who lost loved ones.

Inspired by you who lost your jobs.

Inspired by you who postponed plans.

Inspired by you who weren’t able to see loved ones.

Inspired by you who went through a breakup.

Inspired by you who went through a separation or divorce.

I’m inspired by you who have been hit financially.

I’m inspired by my clients, who have shown up for themselves in moments of hardship and have grown and healed in the process.

I’m inspired by all of the therapists, coaches and mental health professionals who have been holding space for all of this hurt and pain while perhaps having a difficult time themselves.

I’m inspired by the resilience that I have seen in each of you.

I’m inspired by the courage with which you have faced and continue to face each day’s challenges.

I’m inspired by you, moving forward, step by step

Thank you for your inspiration.

What are you inspired by?

🧩As a psychologist and counselor, a lot of my time revolves around the topic of #mentalhealth and #mentalhealthawareness

🧩 But what to write about regarding mental health for the #MayontheMove2021 challenge?

🧩I would be lying if I said I wasn’t feeling a teeny tiny bit of pressure (self-imposed, of course!)

🧩So I’m going to keep it simple (I think)

🧩I’d like to talk to you about the therapeutic alliance, or therapeutic relationship.

🧩The therapeutic alliance refers to the bond between client and therapist and their mutual agreement regarding the structure and goals of therapy.

🧩In counseling and psychotherapy it is one of the most important tools for achieving positive change in the lives of clients.

🧩While most graduate training covers how to create a therapeutic alliance, in my opinion, it is crucial for the mental health professional that you are working with to be a good fit for you.

🧩And only you decide what a good fit for you is.

🧩I’ve had therapists who were a great fit for me and others that were not so much.

🧩I’ve been a great fit as a therapist for some clients and others not so much.

🧩Either way, you can see and feel the difference.

🧩There are many ways to take care of your mental health. A lot of them have nothing to do with therapy.

🧩But if you do feel it would be helpful to work with a therapist, above all, make sure you find someone who you feel is a good fit.

🧩What would make a therapist a good fit for you?

💕So many things in life can be pleasurable, esp

💕So many things in life can be pleasurable, especially if we allow ourselves the space to let it in.

💓So today I wanted to talk about one of the most beneficial forms of pleasure- self-pleasure!

🎆May 28th is International Masturbation Day, which has turned May into Masturbation Awareness Month.

🎆So, what’s there to celebrate?

🎆For starters, when you self-pleasure, you release adrenaline, oxytocin, endorphins and serotonin.

💓That hormonal release is part of what can lead to these common benefits to masturbation:
✔️relieves stress
✔️sleep better
✔️boost your mood
✔️Increase sexual and physical confidence
✔️relax
✔️feel pleasure
✔️relieve cramps
✔️release sexual tension
✔️have better sex
✔️deeper understanding of your wants and needs

💕Masturbation can also be incorporated amongst couples may to explore different desires or avoid pregnancy.

💕Self-pleasuring can also helps you prevent sexually transmitted infections (STIs)

💗Of course, this isn’t the only one of life’s #pleasures -Can you think of any others?

💃🏽I got some really good news this weekend, which gave the urge to do some celebratory dancing! (I’ll tell you about what got me dancing next week)

💃🏽So of course when I thought about #recommended, what came to mind was: music to dance to!

💃🏽Dancing is one of my all time favorite activities, whether it’s to get my heart pumping, go out with friends, incorporate some self-care or learn a new step.

💃🏽Here are some of my favorite songs these days to “move my skeleton” (as they say in Spain):

🎶Mi Swing es Tropical-Quantic Nickodemus Ft Tempo The Candela Allstars
🎶Guavaberry- Juan Luis Guerra (or anything else by him)
🎶Pégate -Ricky Martin
🎶Lomo de Cayenas-Vicente García
🎶Soy Yo- Bomba Estéreo
🎶A quién le importa- Alaska y Dinarama
🎶Oye mi amor -Maná
🎶Dura - Daddy Yankee
🎶Jerusalema - Master KG
🎶Girl Like Me - Black Eyed Peas & Shakira

💃🏽What about you? What are your favorite songs to dance to?
