Ritualized Care

honor what is sacred

Whether your purpose for seeking therapy is related to grief, anxiety, depression, loneliness, major life changes, a desire to improve self worth, or simply to strengthen the mental health skills that are already working for you, ritual can be an excellent tool.

What counts as ritual?

• weekly or monthly participation in a community event

• attending spiritual services

• taking a yoga or meditation class

• hosting a dinner party for friends

• journaling

• lighting a candle

• going for a walk

• burning old letters

• celebrating a birthday or achievement

• putting together a themed night

• vocalizing an intention

and so much more!

When we ritualize our self care and community care practices, we can absorb and internalize our commitment to love and care deeply for ourselves and others. In ritual, we identify and choose objects, symbols, statements, and intentional actions that allow us to connect with the feelings we’re seeking.

This work doesn’t happen in a vacuum. We are social creatures, and investing in our communities of support is often an important factor in wellness.

Using a variety of tools and measures, therapy will include a process of strengthening what is already working well for you, and identifying areas of your self care and community care routines that could use refreshing.
