Digging Deeper

January 18, 2018April 11, 2019 / Joy Eidse MSW, RSW / Leave a comment

I love the reminder to dig deeper into what I'm already committed to, and even delay starting new things or purchasing things before looking at what is already there. 

How Novels Can Help you Grieve

December 30, 2017April 11, 2019 / Joy Eidse MSW, RSW / 2 Comments

There is a way through. Grief can be approached gently, from the side. It doesn't have to be challenged head on.

Cities and Belonging

December 14, 2017April 11, 2019 / Joy Eidse MSW, RSW / 2 Comments

It doesn’t have to be world class. We don’t have to re-create Paris, but we can make small affordable changes, even in our wintery city. These changes can make a big difference to creating a sense of belonging for the residents of this city.

Indigenous Youth Speak

December 9, 2017April 11, 2019 / Joy Eidse MSW, RSW / Leave a comment

My initial reactions to what I was seeing pointed out my own deeply entrenched stereotypes that rose up while watching the video. I expected the images to become darker, not lighter.

What do You Really Need? – A 6 Step Complete Self-Care Assessment Guide

November 20, 2017June 20, 2019 / Joy Eidse MSW, RSW / 28 Comments

When you feel the need to withdraw, when you feel pain, restlessness, irritation, sadness or discomfort consider what it is that you actually need to care for.

How to Make a First Aid Kit for Your Emotions

September 28, 2017August 8, 2018 / Joy Eidse MSW, RSW / 18 Comments

A first aid kit is not a cure. It it is not meant to resolve any relationship issues, social issues or life challenges, but it might give you some energy to carry on.

Good Grief Work

September 27, 2017November 15, 2017 / Joy Eidse MSW, RSW / 11 Comments

Knowing what you've lost may seem like a ridiculous task, but for many people this can be more complicated than it sounds.

Depression Vs Grief – When You’re Down

September 26, 2017November 17, 2017 / Joy Eidse MSW, RSW / 18 Comments

Despite the diagnostic criteria given for depression... there is debate within the mental health community when a diagnosis or medication is appropriate.

A Good Time to Panic

September 25, 2017November 15, 2017 / Joy Eidse MSW, RSW / 21 Comments

But what if the panic is there for a reason? What if you actually are in danger? 

Bibliotherapy- Just for Fun;)

September 24, 2017November 15, 2017 / Joy Eidse MSW, RSW / 4 Comments

It is actually a book where you look up your ailment, from "broken dreams," to "tax return, fear of doing" to "cancer, having" and are given recommendations on what to read.
