Afterwards. The afterwards. In our moments of deepest pain, grief, betrayal, and hurt we do not think about what will come next. The “afterwards”. A hostage in the moment. Time standing still. Caught in the firestorm. Washed over by the wave. A narrowed focus. A nightmare becomes real, and a trauma is lived. But there is an afterwards. After the … Read More

Weight I know it’s stupid… It shouldn’t matter…. I don’t know why this bothers me so much…. I’m body positive, why do I care? It’s so trivial… But is it? When your life is predicated on daily and often moment to moment unwelcome and obtrusive thoughts about how you don’t measure up, are not enough, are a failure, have disappointed … Read More

My morning with “Mouse” and friends @ridgecountryfarm getting my dose of heart math healing. According to Tauna Bogle “Science says: a Horse’s heart makes a Human heart feel better” “Recent studies conducted by the Institute of Heart-Math provide a clue to explain the “two-way healing” that occurs when we’re close to horses. According to researchers, the heart has an electromagnetic … Read More

Beware. Beware the “influencer”. I don’t know about you but I can sure get sucked into something. And it’s a real piss off because I’m 46 years old with a good head on my shoulders. I’m talking about those people who are master influencers. The kind that fool you. The kind that sell wellness and health in a way you … Read More

Crisis Crisis is the mother of (re)invention of the self. You can’t go back after a crisis because you are changed. But not necessarily for the worse. Did you know that personality is not set? In 2012 academics found as many participants as possible of a Scottish study conducted in 1947 on personality. At the time of the study, participants … Read More

Relationship advice. Here is some free relationship advice (from a human who is in a relationship but routinely gets it wrong, but who happens to read, study and learn on this topic…). So, I’m an “expert” in theory, and struggle in practice, because like you I’m also human with a host of issues and lots of trauma. That said, here … Read More

Relational brain. Interpersonal neurobiology is the study of how our brains and central nervous system are developed through childhood relationships and how these relationships, imprinted into our psyche, impact and influence our neurobiology as adults. It’s been proven that we can co-regulate one another’s nervous systems. I do it everyday with my clients. Influencing cortisol (stress hormones – not all … Read More

Price adjustment. Yep, I’m more expensive than I was last week. Because life is that much more expensive, too. Not much we can do about it but practice acceptance and move on. My rates have been adjusted (increased) and now include GST. But to keep it in perspective – I’m still offering sessions at (significantly) reduced rate to those of … Read More

Posted @withregram • @cjspennington The Calvary. You are going through hard times. And you reach out to your “Calvary”. You know, those people who come at the ready to defend you and always have your back. Family or friends. They feel what you feel, couldn’t agree more, and validate your feelings. They cry with you. Elevate you. Save you. Tell … Read More

Hamilton. Moved beyond words. #hamiltonmusical on Broadway in #nyc was a profound experience. The talent is unlike anything I’ve ever seen and upon reflection seems super human. The vocals alone are remarkable. The production has not been without criticism which has justification, I can agree. It’s a “production” which means it’s not history. That said the spirit of Hamilton (for … Read More
