We are all just walking each each other home.

This year I chose to write a little poetry on my take of what Bell's Let's Talk mental health day means to me as a psychotherapist. I hope everyone I have ever worked with in a helping and healing capacity has known I will always walk them back home.

"Let's Talk"

Is my everyday honour and privledge

I hear and see your

Darkness

Joy

Anger

Bliss

Sadness

I choose to sit with you there

Lose my mind

Bear witness

Nourish

Speak with an open heart to those pieces lost and forgotten

And when your mind and body are for the moment, empty of pain and judgement

Full of peace and stillness

You can trust

I will always be brave enough to

Walk you back home
