Jake Ernst and I dive into connection, the true meaning of relationship, and how to create safety with others and in oneself. We look at how we can create space for self-exploration and inquiry while holding compassion and patience on this journey Join us in an informative and light-spirited conversation around trauma, healing, growth, and all things wellness. While this work can often feel heavy and daunting, you’re not alone and there are ways you can invite in all dimensions of yourself - there is room for sadness and happiness, overwhelm and contentedness, fear and excitement. There is room for all of you here. How do I do this work and find support during these trying and often isolating times? What’s the next step for me to take toward whole-being wellness? What are the ways, or routes, I can take towards safety with others and with myself? --- Jake Ernst is a therapist, writer, and speaker based in Toronto, Canada. In his work, Jake is interested in unexplored feelings, unprocessed trauma, and unmet attachment needs in childhood and adolescence as catalysts for mental unhealth and unwellness in adulthood. Jake works with teens, young adults, and parents. Through speaking, workshops, and writing, Jake explores the bold and vulnerable stories which are rarely told or brought to the forefront. He dives deep into the uncomfortable and seeks to expand and reimagine our understanding of how relationships, pain, trauma, and mental health impact our lives.
