What if success at work is costing you at home?

In this week’s reel, Dr. Dave shares a perspective many don’t realize until later: even meaningful work and ministry can slowly take the place of the relationships that matter most.

Healthy relationships require intentional limits.
On your time.
On your energy.
On what gets your best.

At the end of the day, the people closest to you matter most.

If your relationship feels marked by distance, lack of affection, or ongoing emotional disconnection, this seminar is for you.

Building Connection is designed for couples experiencing the impact of Intimacy Anorexia - a pattern where one or both partners consistently withhold emotional, spiritual, or physical closeness within the relationship.

This often leaves one partner feeling alone, unseen, or confused, while the other may not fully understand the impact of their patterns.

Led by Dr. Dave Currie, this seminar will help couples better understand what’s happening beneath the surface and offer practical tools to begin rebuilding connection together.

Date: Saturday, May 30
Time: 8:30 AM – 12:30 PM
Location: Abbotsford area (location TBD)
Cost: $40 per couple

If this feels familiar, you’re not alone, and there is a path forward.

Why do we need God in order to heal?

In this week’s reel, Cam Broad shares a simple but powerful reminder, real healing begins when we recognize our need for God in the process.

It looks like surrender.
Letting go of the need to control every step.
Inviting God to work in us and through us as we move forward.

There’s a different kind of strength that comes from dependence on Him.

You don’t have to have it all figured out, you just have to be willing to bring it to Him.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is all about taking a closer look at what’s going on beneath the surface.

Ever feel like your thoughts are running the show, and not in a helpful way?

CBT helps you recognize patterns in how you think, how you feel, and how you respond, and gives you practical tools to shift those patterns in a healthier direction.

Many people find CBT helpful for anxiety, depression, stress, and everyday overwhelm.

If you’ve been wondering whether counselling could help, this might be a great place to start.

Encouragement for those struggling with self-worth.

DFR counsellor Leanne Novakowski shares a reminder we all need: your worth, your identity, and your truth are not defined by the voices around you, they are rooted in Christ.

And sometimes, protecting that truth means setting boundaries.
Not to push people away, but to guard your peace.

Even in close relationships, it’s okay to create space where your heart and mind can be steady and secure.

You were created with value, and that doesn’t change based on someone else’s opinion.

The number 1 communication mistake for couples

In this week’s reel, Dr. Dave shares one of the most common communication mistakes: assuming we’re coming across clearly, when in reality, we may be missing each other completely.

Sometimes it’s not about saying more, but slowing down.
Checking in.
Listening before responding.
Being willing to admit, “Maybe I didn’t say that as clearly as I thought.”

Healthy communication isn’t about being right, it’s about understanding each other.

He is risen!

What was lost has been restored.
What felt final was not the end.
And because He lives, there is hope for today and for every day ahead.

At Doing Family Right, we hold onto the truth: that real hope, healing, and transformation are found in Him.

Happy Easter!

A love that chose sacrifice.
A love that made a way where there was none.
A love that still meets us right where we are.

Because of the cross, we are offered forgiveness, healing, and new life.

You don’t have to be in the same room to experience real growth.

DFR life coach Merri Ellen Giesbrecht shares how meaningful and impactful sessions can still happen, even when clients are connecting from a completely different place.

What matters most isn’t the location, it’s the willingness to show up, engage, and take a step forward.

At Doing Family Right, we’re grateful to walk alongside people wherever they are. Whether in person in Abbotsford or Chilliwack or online, support is closer than you think.

Families matter deeply, and investing in them is always worth it.

Our care team has a heart for families. We’ve seen how even a few intentional conversations can begin to shift things and bring more connection and a renewed sense of hope into a home.

Sometimes it just helps to have someone come alongside you in a space where you can feel heard and take a step forward together.

Whether you’re connecting with us in Abbotsford, Chilliwack, or online, our desire is simple: to help you build stronger, healthier relationships in your family, with God at the centre.

In every relationship, there will be moments that test our patience, our grace, and our willingness to forgive.

Scripture reminds us that forgiveness isn’t just a feeling—it’s a choice. One that reflects the same grace we’ve been given.

In marriage, in family, and in everyday interactions, choosing to forgive creates space for healing, growth, and restored connection.

At Doing Family Right, we believe that strong relationships aren’t built on perfection, but on a willingness to extend grace again and again.
