This quote speaks to me how anxiety loops in relationships often mimic a nervous system stuck in survival mode not sabotage either bracing up or trying to jump into protection. By treating anxiety not as noise but as a signal that wants to be attended, heard and acknowledged. We can tap into retuning the relationship with a lot more curiosity. When was the last time your relationship needed retuning? Share this with someone or a couple who needs to hear it today?

As part of men’s mental health week, we are unpacking the myths with metaphors that would actually make sense.

Somewhere along the line, you may be white- knuckling through storms with duct tapes, running on older versions and pushing through.

If you or someone you know is white knuckling and duct-taping your way through, it’s okay to pause, reboot and ask for support.

We may often see ourselves and even others as pieces of a jigsaw puzzle that need to be rearranged or adjusted to fit neatly into their place but healing is very much unlike jigsaw puzzles which has a nonlinear path.

Healing isn’t about cleaning yourself up to look perfect. It’s about learning to sit with the parts of you that feel confused, overwhelmed, or out of place. The “messy pieces” might be your overthinking, emotional spirals, past. Real healing starts when you start acknowledging the messy pieces and witnessing growth. At APT Counselling, we help you understand that these messy moments aren’t flaws, they’re signals. They’re places that need care, not any kind of fixing. If you want to know more, send us a DM

Relationships are like cars, they don’t need to be falling apart to deserve care. Over time, life happens bumps in the road, unexpected detours, weather that wears things down. A tune-up helps in the phase of major breakdowns ensures possibility of smooth rides, and keeping you on track.

What’s not helpful is ignoring a weird noise, it doesn’t make it disappear. It can make the issues worse over time. What starts as a minor tune up can lead to productive relationship outcome.

Do you know, couples therapy is your chance to check the map, refill the tank, and make sure you’re headed in the helpful direction.
