Things end. This is the truth. Good things. Bad things. Things we didn’t see coming. And those we did. Beautiful moments. Painful moments. So… We move on. We close up. We finish. We complete. The key turns the lock. The papers singed. The house stands empty. The choir leaves the stage. The path now overgrown longer clear. And sometimes we … Read More

Wasted time. Things that I have wasted time on. (Expertise from a therapist) Perfectionism. Really, it’s such a waste of time. Because nobody and I mean nobody who ever mattered to me really cared. Obsessively thinking about my weight. About fat. Where it is. Where it isn’t. How to avoid it. How to control it. I’ve wasted literally years of … Read More

Counselling helps. Gotta complex story? Don’t worry, there’s a therapy for that. We all have a messy ball of string sorta story. The ones that twist and turn. But don’t worry, I can keep up. It’s not the story but what it means to you that matters. I’m good at helping you untangle the web. And once it’s all smoothed … Read More

What just happened? What just happened in that hour? You thought you had nothing new to talk about. It’s “maintenance” after all. The “I know I should but I don’t really want to” feeling. Believe me I get it. I’ve been in my own therapy journey most of my adult life. After the crisis when things start to get better, … Read More

Season. “In this season so full of light there is a darkness that fills my heart. I’m not alone, this much is known. Lights shine bright in others nights while mine looks on, rested upon.” So many who have held back the tears, drowning in smiles while the truth floats below the surface. The heartbreak of loss, the devastating decisions, … Read More

Why do I do this work? Hey, “it’s been a hot minute” as the cool kids say. I’m a 47 mother of two teens. I watch Coronation Street. That by virtue feels “not cool”. But in my mind, I’m soooo cool. If you haven’t guessed, it’s Catherine here from Momentum. Your on the edge, sometimes over the cliff, professional in … Read More

Reclamation & Revolution The reclamation begins as a whisper. A thought so foreign and intangible it floats by, fleeting and quickly escaping. The hunger for it resisted. The hunger for anything resisted. Muted, like every emotion you have felt or are afraid to feel. Stuffed down and filling you but never offering a fullness. It’s that fullness you avoid, anyhow. … Read More

Emotional Processing So what does it mean to process your emotions? Or “emotional processing?” This is said A LOT. I think it’s a term that most of us don’t really understand but we know it would be a good thing intuitively. Like exercise, omega three, flossing, more water…(note to self to do all those things). In short, emotional processing is … Read More
