Stay Present and Don’t Get Murdered
a four week practice for true crime lovers in mindful running, meditation, and yoga

Join OHSU psychologist and researcher, Jeffrey Proulx, PhD, therapist Emelie Gagliardo of Sprout Therapy PDX, and the lovely yogis at Studio PDX in a pilot seminar for mindful running, stress reduction, and yoga!

This exciting program will be offered for F R E E on Saturday afternoons in October out of Studio PDX in SE Portland.

This seminar will be loosely based on themes from the true crime podcast My Favorite Murder and will be offered for clients, followers, and Portlanders who love Georgia, Karen, Steven, and their animals as much as we do!

RSVP on our FB event if you’re interested in participating in this program! It’s a great opportunity to learn a lot about yourself, your mind, and your body... also did I mention it’s free??

Walkers are welcome!

Anxiety feels real 😱, even though it may have no basis in reality, arising when we feel activated by a variety of different triggers.

As long as we continue to try to push away, avoid, or ignore our anxiety or panic, it will continue to hold us hostage.

Our experience of anxiety can change only when we learn how to listen to it, understand it, challenge our anxious thoughts, and replace those thoughts with new ones.

Mindfulness is the best technique for managing fear, anxiety, and panic, When we learn through meditation to allow thoughts to pass without believing all we think to be true, our experience of fear will shift! 

Your goal for today is to be present with you thoughts without reacting to them! 💕🌿

When I started posting here I had no expectations for what might come of this page, I just wanted to share information that might be helpful.

Even as an experienced therapist, I definitely experience impostor syndrome and have to remind myself that I deserve the success I’m seeing in my life, both personally and professionally.

Impostor syndrome is an internal experience where someone doubts their accomplishments and has feelings of not being good enough, smart enough, or “real enough". 😓

Despite any evidence to the contrary, those experiencing this phenomenon remain convinced that they do not deserve what they have achieved. People with this experience (most frequently studied in high achieving women) incorrectly attribute their success to luck, or as a result of deceiving others into thinking they are more intelligent than they perceive themselves to be. 

Anyone out there struggle with the experience of impostor syndrome? I promise you’re not alone! 💕
