Janus Counseling Center

Good morning all! We at Janus Counseling Center find it amazing that you have made it through the latest difficult life- stuff. Never forget that you are resilient, courageous, and strong. Be mindful of this today.-- Oh, and BE NICE.

The anecdote for a person who is in the habit of complaining is to move into "doing good". It might take awhile to feel the benefits of that because the brain is in the habit of complaining, but helping others feel better is a great way to start feeling better yourself!

In a relationship a well-placed genuine apology can be healing and validating, but an unnecessary or insincere apology can have the opposite effect. Before you apologize take a minute to reflect on whether you really need to say "I'm sorry" and if you do, always make sure you mean it.In a relationship a well-placed genuine apology can be healing and validating, but an unnecessary or insincere apology can have the opposite effect.

2019 was definitely hard for many of us. We want to feel comfortable and good, but that isn't always what is good for us. The new year will bring challenges that we are definitely up for, even if we feel awkward in the trying. Brene Brown captures this well when she shares, "I'm choosing to go back to the 7th grade cafeteria and carry my tray as best I can given my sweaty hands and anxiety-prone introversion. I need to seek out a couple of new tables with new challenges and opportunities. Dammit." Janus Counseling Center wishes you a 2020 that causes you to evolve and grow, in spite of its promised awkward challenges!

Vulnerability....the key to finding connection. When we are vulnerable time seems to move quickly at the same time it feels slow......transporting us into a different kind of space, one where we are witnessed--while witnessing another. Janus Counseling Center believes in relationships. We also understand the complexities of being vulnerable with another person. We are here to help guide you in your exploration of making vulnerable space with someone you care about. Call for an appointment today at 805-845-9649.
