Connection. Through therapy, connection to ourselves comes from identifying our roots, tuning into our emotions, self-reflection, and working to align our behavior with our goals and values. Therapy also enables connection to others from relating through similar experiences, empathically listening to one another, giving and receiving support, and validation of each other's experiences. At Connected Roots, we encourage connection with oneself and others through validation and authentic self-expression. ​Grounding comes from awareness of and connection to ourselves and our experiences in the present moment. When all five senses are stimulated, grounding oneself in the moment can be shared with others in a powerful way. At Connected Roots, we incorporate nature into our therapy practices to help clients reconnect with the earth as an alternative to the fixation with technology that is prevalent in our culture. ​Confidence comes from feelings of well-being, acceptance of oneself and the belief in your own ability, skills and experience. When we feel confident, we are able to take the healthy risks that are necessary to achieve our dreams. At Connected Roots, we help our clients build confidence in their ability to cope effectively with daily stressors as well as confidence to reach their goals with therapy practice that are suitable for each individual.
