Emotions can be intimidating when we don't feel confident in our ability to help manage their intensity when they are activated in our bodies. Part of the work is building your skills in the area of learning how to regulate your emotions. So that you can lean in safely as well as step back safely when it is needed.
For those who know us from our former name, Sara’s Place Counselling, this change of name reflects an evolution in how we hold space for your healing. As always, this remains a place where you are invited to show up authentically to be seen, heard, and accepted. This sacred work continues to focus on supporting adults navigating the complex impacts of trauma on both mind and body, with a deep emphasis on rebuilding safety in your nervous system so you can live more fully and authentically.
The new name reflects a renewed commitment to somatic experiencing and holistic wellness approaches. We will continue to integrate evidence-based trauma therapies tailored specifically to your unique journey. While the name has changed, the heart of this practice remains the same: empowering, educating, validating, and walking alongside you through your healing process.
As the practice grows, it is our hope to expand into a collaborative wellness space, welcoming diverse practitioners who support mind, body, culture, and spirit, creating a holistic ecosystem that honors the many ways healing can unfold.
We look forward to continuing this life journey with you under this renewed vision. If you have any questions or would like to connect, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
A Letter from us to you
We are grateful to the humans who every day grant us access to participate in the unmasking and witnessing process that is involved in truly being seen.
As consultants to your healing process, We can say with complete conviction that you are the real superheroes. Vulnerability is truly a dance of tolerating the discomfort found in truly being seen by others and even more so seeing yourself and not having any control over the outcome.
Thank you for the courage you demonstrate daily in granting us both access.
The shared learning is constant. Thank you for your commitment, willingness, and motivation to unlearn and relearn alongside us and the inevitable impact this has on the collective and the community healing as a whole.
Thank you for teaching us that sometimes safety is not possible and or truly possible for all people and the more realistic goal is Safe Enough.
Thank you for allowing us to get to know the beauty inherent in your internal system, and all of the survival skills and adaptations that you have acquired in order to navigate your environments. They were necessary.
And yet you are tasked on this journey of updating and allowing space to remain for what's working and serving your functioning
With so much healing love,
Welcome to Reclaiming Life Therapy and Wellness
