You may have heard of a microscopic organism called a Tardigrade, or more commonly known as, a Water Bear. It is the single most resilient organism in the Universe. Science has proven that Water Bears can survive the utmost extremes of heat, cold, and even outer space! What is it about these little creatures that gives them the necessary strength, persistence and ability to literally weather all things that threaten their existence?

They Change.  The Water Bear changes it’s physical make up to adapt to its environment.  It creates an impenetrable shell when it’s very exestence is threatened; and it becomes soft and flexible when there is need for absorption and maleability.  The Water Bear has perfected the idea that change is necessry for life.

I dont know about you, but every major life struggle that I have encountered has required some level of change in order to get to the other side and still feel good about where I am and where I’m going.  Change is hard, change is scary, change is inevitable. It is change that allows humans to adapt, persist and prevail during difficult times…. just like the Water Bear.

At Water Bear Counseling we believe that change is best achieved through support, community, and connection.  Change happens when circumstances are tough, or when we recognize that the way we are doing  this isn’t working. Our services are here to support the process of difficult decision making, forging new paths, and creating the necessary change that sets the stage for success!
