Hello Heart, Vancouver, BC (2026)

05/13/2026

I used to think couples therapy was mostly about communication skills.

Then I became certified in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and realized that underneath every conflict is a deeper longing: to feel seen, safe, chosen, connected. 🤍

EFT changed everything for me, the way I understand love, attachment, intimacy, and healing. Personally and professionally.

And now… I’ve officially begun my training with the Couples Institute ☀️✨♥️

I’m continuing to deepen into couples work through the Developmental Model, an approach that doesn’t treat conflict as something to avoid, but as a doorway. To growth. To deeper connection. To transformation.

What’s already moving me is the concept of differentiation:
Learning how to stay connected to your partner without abandoning yourself.

How to meet differences with curiosity instead of defensiveness.

How to build a relationship where both people feel emotionally safe and fully, unapologetically themselves.
This work goes far beyond communication tools. It moves into the deeper terrain, the emotional patterns, the relational dynamics, the quiet ways we protect ourselves in love without even realizing it. And how, with awareness, couples can move toward something more conscious, more honest, more alive.

The more I learn, the more passionate I become about helping couples build relationships that feel secure, alive, real, and deeply connected. 🫶🏼

So grateful to be on this path.
Excited for everything unfolding ahead.

Stay tuned ☀️✨😻

nothing prepares a nervous system to process violence of this scale in real time.

Since January 8, 2026, reports from media and human-rights organizations indicate that thousands of civilians in Iran have been killed.
For many in the Iranian community, this is not history.
It is an ongoing psychological emergency.

What I am witnessing and experiencing clinically is not just grief,
but collective trauma:
shock, guilt for being alive, nervous-system overload, dissociation, and despair
while the world continues as usual.

When violence is visible, documented, and prolonged,
inaction itself becomes traumatic.

This is why Responsibility to Protect (R2P) matters.
R2P is not a slogan.
It is a framework grounded in prevention
intervening before mass violence becomes permanently etched into bodies, families, and generations.

From a mental-health lens, prevention is care.
Silence is not neutrality.
Delay deepens trauma.

This is not distant.
This is happening now.

01/18/2026

As therapists, coaches, and leaders, the way we show up during moments of collective pain matters.

Many Iranians in Canada are living through a profound and destabilizing historical moment. The impact is not theoretical it shows up in nervous systems, relationships, identity, and belonging.

Silence is rarely experienced as neutrality. When significant experiences affecting a community are met with avoidance or lack of acknowledgment, the harm is often compounded.

Cultural humility in moments like this does not require perfect language or complete knowledge. It requires presence, curiosity, and a willingness to name what is already in the room.

This is an ethical opportunity, for our professions and our leadership, to choose relational safety over distance, and care over avoidance.

You have to remember how it feels in your body when life is good.♥️✨
Not just the thought of it, the felt sense of it. The imprint of joy that settles into your bones the way your head sinks into a soft, cloudlike pillow. The quiet hum of aliveness vibrating in every cell. Remember your own smile, the warmth blooming across your cheeks, the way you once melted into someone’s arms and felt, for a breath or two, completely held by the universe.

Remember the moments you figured it out. The moments you survived what you were sure would break you. The moments you whispered, “I can’t feel this, wished I was not existing,” yet felt it anyway…and lived through this aliveness.✨

Remember the rush of biting into your favorite thing
maybe warm sourdough, maybe the lightning-bolt exhilaration of applause washing over you on a stage. Remember the sparks, the softness, the quiet triumphs your body has carried you through. ♥️

Gather these moments like small, glowing suns and tuck them beneath your ribs.
Let them become a personal archive you can reach into whenever you start to forget. forget who you are, forget the depth of your strength, forget that heaviness is not permanence. When old stories resurface, when chemistry falters, when the day tilts off-center, this is when you turn inward and borrow light from your own history.

Because everyone needs a bit of sunlight during the cloudier seasons of life.
And that, my love, is the body’s quiet brilliance: it remembers even when the mind loses its grip. It stores warmth, resilience, and joy like secret chapters, waiting for you to return.♥️✨

This came to me while I was sitting in a beautiful moment at the other day while my beloved friends trying their favourite pillow. ☁️🩵

As of today, I begin the journey as a Clinical Counsellor. 🌿

This marks the closing of one chapter and the quiet unfolding of another. I’m deeply grateful for the power of support, in all its forms and sizes 💕 and how it holds us through the tender and the strong.

For our willing heart,
for the part that keeps going,
and for whatever it is that keeps calling us forward. 🪴 Yes please✨more of that. I feel committed in my heart. ♥️

Grief, Softness, and the Books That Can Hold Us♥️

Grief is one of the most profound, and least linear, experiences we encounter as human beings. It is not only about death. It can arise when life shifts, when dreams change, when identities dissolve, or when imagined futures quietly disappear.

One of the most tender moments in my experience, is when realizing,
“Oh… maybe I’m grieving.”

That naming alone can bring soft permission to feel, to pause, to make sense of what was once just a vague ache.

Grief is messy. It’s not a straight line or a five-step process. It’s an ocean.🌊🩵

And yet, in its roughness, there can be surprising softness, places where grief brings us back to what matters most. Sometimes, it even grows the ground beneath us in ways we didn’t expect.

Here are three books that have offered refuge, language, and gentle guidance for navigating loss in its many forms♥️

• The Wild Edge of Sorrow by Francis Weller
A soulful, poetic invitation to deepen into grief and ritual, offering grief not as pathology but as praise.

• Belonging by Toko-pa Turner
A meditation on exile and return, this book speaks to the grief of not fitting, and the healing of reclaiming inner and ancestral belonging.

• When Things Fall Apart by Pema Chödrön
A timeless offering for those in transition, reminding us how to stay present and soft when life becomes uncertain or undone.

If you’re grieving, recently or long ago, loudly or silently, you’re not alone.
Your grief belongs.♥️
And you are not broken for feeling it.

🖤♥️

The body is always listening. Always feeling. ✨

It holds the tension we never name,
the grief left unspoken,
the ache we can’t file away.

In today’s world, it matters more than ever to notice:
how the outside shapes the within,
and how our inner life responds outward.
We might ask ourselves:
“How can I attend to my world without shutting down?”

And maybe self-love doesn’t mean feeling it all at once.
Maybe it means asking gently:
🌿 What can I safely feel today?
🌿 Where does my body want to move, shake, or release?
🌿 What small outlet feels possible right now? What safe impulse can I follow?

This is how we widen the window of tolerance—
one safe moment of noticing at a time.
Not to drown in the pain,
but to stay connected. ✨♥️

To keep the body as an ally,
in a world that needs us awake. 🌍

🌿 INTERNATIONAL SELF-CARE DAY
What we’re learning, over and over again…

Self-care isn’t a performance.
It’s an internal alchemy
quiet, loving, ever-evolving.

It’s not always the curated rituals or the “right” morning routine. (Though sometimes, it is.)
More often, it lives in the small, private choices we make when no one’s watching.

It’s crying instead of holding it in.
It’s saying no, not with guilt, but with clarity.
And breathing through the guilt when it comes.
It’s saying yes, when our bodies whisper yes.

Self-care is learning the language of our own bodies
a lifelong, loyal conversation.
It’s noticing how we go offline:
the breath we’ve been holding,
the jaw we’ve been clenching,
the moment our hearts begin to close.

And then choosing to express
through movement, tears, voice, stillness, poems, or colour.
Finding our own language of aliveness.
Yes to that expression.

Self-care is the capacity to see that everything is a teacher
especially the uncomfortable.
The more uncomfortable it feels, the more curious we try to become. ✨

Our emotions are messengers.
Self-care is allowing the messenger to be heard. ✨

Sometimes, self-care means meeting our own rigidity with curiosity.
Softening the inner edge instead of pushing past it.

It’s presence instead of pressure.
Softness instead of shame.
A pause instead of a push.

It’s re-parenting the parts of us that were taught:
Love must be earned.
Rest must be deserved.
Needs make us difficult.

It’s learning how we move through the world
and giving ourselves full permission to do it our way.
To speak that truth unapologetically.
Hell yeah to being our own advocates.

Now, we offer ourselves what was once withheld:
Rest.
Permission.
Gentle boundaries.
A soft place inside to land.

Self-care isn’t about getting it right.
It’s about coming home to ourselves, again and again.
It’s remembering who we are.

With messy hands.
With tender honesty. With our need for connection and love.
With the courage to begin, right where we are.

♥️
So today, wherever we are in our journey
Let’s take a little time to breathe.
Take a little time to feel.
Take a little time to smile. 🌿

🇨🇦 🧡Reflections on Canada Day, From an Immigrant Heart 🇨🇦🧡

Seven years ago, I arrived on these lands with hopes of safety, belonging, and the chance to build a life that once felt out of reach. I hold gratitude for the opportunities and freedoms that have grown here, and for the sense of home I continue to build.

Yet I cannot hold that gratitude without also acknowledging the truths woven underneath: these freedoms exist on lands taken from Indigenous Peoples, whose cultures, languages, and spirits were targeted through colonial violence harm that continues today.

I acknowledge, with humility, that I live and work on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and səl̓ilwətaɁɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. I honour their enduring strength, wisdom, and sovereignty.

As a counsellor, I often wonder what it means to hold complexity:
✨ the complexity of gratitude alongside grief
✨ the complexity of celebration alongside accountability
✨ the complexity of hope alongside truth

I wonder, too, what brings us back to wholeness after fragmentation in our bodies, our communities, our collective stories. ✨

Perhaps the path begins with questions we are willing to keep asking:
• How might I hold space for Indigenous grief and resistance?
• How might I stay present to truths that unsettle me?
• How might I carry forward the lessons of these lands with humility and care?
• How might I practice forgiveness of myself and of what I did not know without turning away from responsibility?

If you, too, feel conflicted today, you are not alone. Holding complexity is a courageous practice. It invites us to be human, to be honest, to let gratitude and heartbreak stand side by side and to allow that to shape a more compassionate future.

May we keep listening.
May we keep learning.
May we keep choosing relationship over erasure, truth over silence.

🧡

Am I Less of a Therapist These Days?

Maybe not less. Maybe more.
More human. More honest. More here.✨

These days, I’m not trying to be the therapist who has it all figured out. I’m practicing being a therapist who can hold her own humanity with all its weight, contradiction, tenderness, and truth.

For the past seven years, I’ve lived and breathed the practice of holding it all at once:
hope alongside despair,
grief woven into joy,
love brushing up against loss.

And while the world aches 🌍while my home country burns and this Earth trembles under the weight of so much pain💔 I’ve found myself becoming even more present and alive. Not only to my clients’ experiences, but to my own.

Not because I’ve fallen apart.
But because I’ve stopped pretending I’m separate from any of it.

What kind of therapist am I today?
One who sits with people not from above, but beside.
One who knows that authenticity is healing.
One who believes that being real isn’t a weakness it’s a bridge.✨

I still carry deep respect for my training, my tools, and my clinical mind. But these days, I also carry something else: a fierce commitment to showing up fully human. And I believe that makes me a better space holder not despite my humanness, but because of it.✨

So if you’re someone navigating your own overwhelm, heartbreak, or numbness… please know this:
You don’t have to be okay to begin.
You don’t have to hold it all alone.
You’re allowed to feel it all messy, loud, quiet, confused and still be worthy of care.

I’m here.
Not as someone who has all the answers.
But as someone who knows what it means to feel deeply, and still choose to hold space with love and courage.

For my clients, for my community, for those without a voice🤍I remain committed.
To healing.
To truth.
To the beautiful, difficult work of being alive.

With you I am powerful.
Thank you for your presence, love and support.
We are walking this life together.♥️✨

With love and care,
Nogol
