Integrative Mental Health

So I am working on this THING. 

I recently completed an Integrative Mental Health certification. I am working on applying for the official certification and this now allows me to offer supplements to my clients! I am so excited to be able to recommend products to better increase customer care, reducing symptoms and promoting better overall health! 

What this means is that I am better able to assess other pieces that one might need to help their health, especially mental health, issues. Between nutritional deficiencies and exercise recommendations, possible blood test recommendations and the usual mental health skills, I can hopefully find ways to better find success for my clients!

What this also means is working on setting up a website and compiling ALLLLLLLL the info. I am not great about remembering all the products, especially since there are a number of products with multiple uses. My brain capacity is really tested with the new knowledge! #hurts 

I am excited to be able to offer more to my clients! I already offer aroma and art and other awesome techniques for my clients. This is all a work in progress, and takes time. #momlife Sometimes time is not my friend. Life. Summer. Busy. Children. Sleep. You know- the daily and weekly tasks that take away from the #goals.

Stay tuned... I am anxious to get this rolling! :)  

Let's be real...

One thing that has been on my mom heart for a looooong while is friendships. 

Man. During this season, it seems harder to connect and find friendships. And, I guess, in reality it is about putting in the work. Mom life is TIRING and draining. Being a full time working mom, taking care of children, a husband, the house and oh yeah- me sometimes too. Although I long so deeply for friendships, and more intimacy within the few friendships I do have, I completely understand. I make excuses and have my limits. I know others are in the same boat. 

I think part of my sadness that has lingered deep in my heart for so long are the feelings of rejection that often accompany the "lack" in this department. Perhaps these feelings are real, or only perception, but either way, they can feel so icky. Let me explain what that looks like for myself. 

I have had wonderful connections with people through the years. Friendships of all levels. Some very deep friendships. Some where that connection feels like it could be so deep. Like there is a spark of depth that does not get a chance to ignite. In both cases, something happens that ends up in a disconnect. Sometimes it is a move. Life situation. Other priorities. And other times it feels like a turning away. No contact or intentional engagement. Sometimes it feels uncalled for. Rude, even. This is why it feels like rejection. Especially in this day and age with such a variety of options for connection, we should not feel disconnected. 

I feel the sadness of friendships lost. Relationships that have been changed. Altered. Forgotten. Whatever the case may be, I ache for more. I miss the connections I once had. I am saddened by the lack of engagement. I sometimes feel forgotten. 

Another similar area that really stings is when I encounter such behaviors in the church setting. Yes, I know that people are everywhere and just because they are a part of a church makes them no better than other humans. I have had situations in which I have reached out to people to connect. For prayer. For relationship. For information. Whatever the reason, there is NO contact. Or little contact then nothing. I see these folk week after week in church without any "hello" or checking in. Former church friends that do not ever reach out. It is like "out of sight, out of mind" except it seems like they have amnesia- at least the ones that I see regularly without any acknowledgement. I am not sure why this happens- church or not. 

This situation puts a bad taste in my mouth. I can see why many skip church and other settings all together, due to human error. I can put my hurts and disappointments to the side and keep moving on but some days, I admit, it is a struggle. 

How am I "invisible" to people who talked with me in depth about life circumstances? Prayed with me? People who I have asked to check in on me, as I need connection? Yet, I see them and they look right past me, as though we have never met. 

I work with people. People are perplexing. However, I also see the other side of things. People who have great friendships and connections. People who live life together and are like family. I get a twinge of jealously and disappointment that others can have these relationships and I am over here, wondering why not me? Why can I meet awesome people and make fantastic connections to only have these people move away, ignore me or just desire to stay connected from a distance? Am I the only one? (I think not... I hope not). 

What do we do in this day of easy connections (as per technology) to develop something deeper? How do others overcome these challenges? I long for authenticity and vulnerability. I am hoping that by my sharing my own experiences and being vulnerable, others can open up and share and be vulnerable too. Community is built through connections. And in this season of my life, it is about trying to be vulnerable and build community. 


Please share below your experiences and ways you have overcome!

Meet Judith C. Labert

 
Hello! Welcome
Thanks so much for coming by! 

I used to be a body builder and gym-nut- But the "perfect storm" of events ended up disrupting my physical, mental and emotional health, creating imbalanced hormones, weight gain and a loss of self. I have struggled with Chronic Fatigue and negative emotions, such as self-loathing. Through my own journey, coupled with my professional training, I have learned many tools like the power of using Conscious Language and have expanded my knowledge about how emotions and language impact the body, how our environment contributes to our health and the body's well being, and how mindset matters! As I have improved my health and regained my sense of self, I am now on a mission! In this world, with all the emotional (and physical!) pains, I commit myself to helping other's learn and grow to be better, healthier versions of themselves. I am always learning about how to live a plant based, non toxic, chemical free life so that we can live out best lives!!

 As a professional, I am a licensed Mental Health/Art Therapist and Certified Life Coach. I work with a lot of folks who experience various degrees of trauma and anxiety. I value the amazing tools that I have learned-and continue to learn- that are effective in helping the clients I serve! I am an art therapist and I use aroma and apply a variety of integrative approaches in a holistic model with all my clients. I am a Christian practitioner and believe in the power of faith and in the capabilities of the amazing bodies we live in!

 
In my therapy practice, I specialize in trauma and addiction, as well as being a Registered Art Therapist. I work with kids of all ages, including adults! I Love using various products and techniques to support my system within my own health and wellness journey and am passionate about incorporating a holistic approach with my clients to better support them in their journey.


As a holistic practitioner, a Certified Mental Health Integrative Medicine Provider and Certified Mental Wellness Coach, I often suggest a variety of product recommendations for my friends, family and clients.  This education provides another tool to help in my supporting you to Live Your Best Life... 
I offer an intro health assessment to those looking for answers to help decide what is the best direction and fit for your needs. I am a Certified Aroma Freedom PractitionerCertified Emotion and Body Code Practitioner and a Certified Oola Life Coach and Mental Wellness Coach- so no matter what your struggle is, I have tools that can help you set goals, support wellness, build your faith and help you find purpose in your life! 

Personally....
I am still healing (it is an on-going journey of health) but am thriving more each day that passes. I am now an International Best Selling Author, as some of my story was published in a book collaboration that was published October 2021! I am a mom of two girls and a wife, a fitness lover and beach explorer. I enjoy a variety of music and love road trips. I wear Chacos and tank tops every day possible! I grew up in Wyoming but love living in the milder climate of Southern Oregon. I lam happy in warm weather and at the beach. I support my husband in his Art and Automotive Restoration business and in his hobby of restoring a '57 Oldsmobile. We are looking forward to taking it on a cross country trip in it when it is complete! We both cherish family and enjoy sharing new experiences together.

 I am excited for you to join me on this journey!
xoxo ~Judith
