Being emotionally reactive is not random — and it’s not weakness.

Emotional reactivity can come from stress, burnout, lack of sleep, grief, hormonal shifts, trauma history, chronic pain, loneliness, unmet needs, nervous system overload, or simply carrying too much for too long.

Sometimes it’s not that you’re “too sensitive.” It’s that your system is overwhelmed.

Understanding the "why" is the first step toward changing the reaction into a healthier response (and truly being able to get your needs met). 💛

We know that it can be challenge to find affordable mental health supports that are offered by experienced, well-trained therapists (not just from students/interns). So Tacit Knowledge has partnered with TWO different organizations, to help our clients access the sessions that they need, without the financial barriers. There are NO waiting lists for our Subsidy clients.

The Lionheart Foundation provides subsidized mental health support (both counselling and Neurofeedback sessions are available) for adolescents and young adults (ages 12-25) in Edmonton and the surrounding communities (Leduc, Beaumont, Devon, Sherwood Park, Fort Sask, St Albert, etc) who are facing anxiety-based challenges (including low esteem, OCD, panic attacks, self-harm, suicidal ideation, eating disorders, and depression). The number of sessions is dependent upon each client’s needs (and is NOT capped at the same amount for everyone). To apply go to https://lionheartfoundation.ca/edmonton/ (and let them know you would like to see someone at Tacit).

Beaumont FCSS provide access to Neurofeedback sessions to people who reside in Beaumont – this is an income-based support program. Clients can apply over the phone (at 780-929-1006) – approval is immediate. Participants will be approved for 10 Neurofeedback sessions (plus the Intake and Evaluation sessions).

If you have any questions about these Subsidy Programs, or about Tacit's Counselling and Neurofeedback Services, please feel free to reach out to our team anytime (counsellors@tacitknows.com). If we are not the right fit for your needs, we would be happy to help you connect to other options that could be!

Need a little cheat sheet for the type of Magnesium that has been shown to help improve the quality of your sleep?

Remember to take your Magnesium about 1.5-2 hours before bedtime, to allow your body time to digest and convert the supplement into it's working properties. And always check with a pharmacist or a doctor, before starting any supplements that might counteract with other medications that you take (or allergies that you might have).

For more tools/strategies that can help address many common sleep disturbance issues (for all ages), feel free to reach out to our Tacit team at any time! www.tacitknows.com

A good night’s sleep is an essential foundation for a productive and successful day. Sleep is the building block upon which we can create healthy coping mechanisms for dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma and stress. But truly restful and energizing sleep can be an elusive thing.

If you work in the hospitality industry (in any position), please join Tacit Knowledge for Dear Brain: I NEED Sleep! This is a FREE Online Mental Wellness Workshop – being offered on Tuesday, February 10th, at 7:00pm. The session runs for 1 hour. Participants will learn ways to address common sleep disturbance issues and create an atmosphere for deep, healing slumber, so they can wake up refreshed and ready to face whatever their day may bring.

This Workshop will NOT be recorded – it is a live-only event.

This Mental Wellness session is being offered in partnership with the In The Weeds YEG Program – which is a program that is committed to nurturing mental wellness and restoring humanity in Edmonton’s hospitality community.

This Workshop is available to everyone who works in the hospitality industry, in the greater Edmonton and outlying areas. To register for this FREE session: please go to https://www.eventbrite.com/e/dear-brain-i-need-sleep-how-to-get-good-quality-sleep-tickets-1980221007339?aff=oddtdtcreator

So many of us try to process our feelings by "thinking" our way thru them. We try to understand them - or explain them away - or problem solve the situation that caused them. We use the cognitive part of our brain to cope with our feelings because this sometimes gives us a sense of control over the situation.

But truthfully, this jump to the thinking part of our brain just ends up with us avoiding the feelings and stuffing them into our emotional baggage box. And unfortunately, all of those feelings will resurface again, at another time - usually when we least expect it (often as an "over-reaction" to something else that is going on)!

In order to manage our emotions in a healthy way, we have to allow ourselves to "feel" the feelings. This means we have to connect to the emotions that have been created by embracing the discomfort and then releasing it (physically and emotionally). Processing our emotions means we are willing to recognize what we are feeling, and then allow those emotions the time and space to be experienced and then set free.

For more information about managing emotions in healthy ways, please feel free to reach out to our team at any time! We offer a wide variety of services (Counselling, Neurofeedback Training, Workshops, Support Groups, etc) that can help! www.tacitknows.com

Let's kick off this year with some terrific tools that are designed to help us all cope a little easier when we get dysregulated, emotionally.

Tough times are going to happen - there is no way to avoid that! And we are allowed to feel overwhelmed and out of control when they do. That's part of being human.

But how we navigate these triggering moments can sometimes create bigger problems! Knowing what to do (so that things don't get worse) reflects our level of resilience and determines the amount of negative impact that we will be stuck trying to deal with, for hours and sometimes even days, afterward.

These DBT strategies are simple and easy to learn. They were designed to help us manage intense emotions and to protect our interpersonal relationships, when we are feeling out of control. They can help bring a sense of calm back into even the toughest of situations.

Check your emotional toolbox, and see what maybe needs to be added. Let's all welcome 2026 as the year that we feel prepared to tackle whatever comes our way!

If you need more help, you are welcome to check out our blog or sign up for our FREE monthly Newsletter (at www.tacitknows.com) - receive more access to mental health tips/techniques and information about our regular Support Group Programs (which are available to everyone!)!

In a fast paced, hectic world it can often be difficult to know how to achieve the healthy balance required to feel good and be successful on a daily basis, no matter what stress we are facing.

If you are working in the hospitality industry (in any role), please feel free to join Tacit Knowledge and In The Weeds YEG for The 4 Daily Foundations for Healthy Balance – this is a FREE Online Mental Wellness Workshop – being offered on Monday, January 12th, at 7:00pm. The session runs for 1 hour.

This Workshop will NOT be recorded – it is a live-only event. The PPT will not be available to participants after the Workshops (for liability and proprietary reasons) – but participants are encouraged to take as many notes and screenshots as they wish.

This Mental Wellness session is being offered in partnership with the In The Weeds YEG Program – which is a program that is committed to nurturing mental wellness and restoring humanity in Edmonton’s hospitality community.

We know that the holiday season is not always a fun and joyful time - it can bring heartbreak and challenges for many of us. Please remember that you are NOT alone. There is help available. And we want you to reach out when you need it!

Although we will be closed for a few specific days over this holiday period, the therapists at Tacit are still able to assist you in connecting to other supports, as the need arises. You do NOT have to be a Tacit client to contact us over these next few weeks. We are here to help in any way that we can. And so are many other supports in our community (and in the surrounding greater Edmonton areas). We have listed just a few in this post - but we can provide you with many more, depending on the issues you are trying to manage.

Our counselling office will be open during much of the holiday season. If you need assistance, you can email us at counsellors@tacitknows.com - we also have a FREE list of local resources that are available to everyone, which can be found on our website at www.tacitknows.com (just scroll to the bottom of any of the tabs).

If we take a few minutes to recognize the emotions we are experiencing, we can learn a lot about the needs that we have that are not perhaps being met.

And when we can begin to meet these needs on a regular basis, we will find that life becomes a much more calm and peaceful journey!

Did you know that the majority of your natural melatonin (the hormone that helps you relax) is produced in your tummy - not in your brain? Being able to produce the right amount of melatonin - and being able to release this melatonin at the optimal times - are the two key factors that determine the quality of sleep that we get each night.

Synthetic melatonin (found in over-the-counter medications and supplements) is only half as effective as the body's own natural melatonin. And taking this synthetic version for too long can actually decrease the the natural amount that your body will make.

So, if you are having difficulties with your quality sleep patterns (if it takes you longer than 15 minutes to fall asleep; if you find yourself waking up throughout the night; or if you are waking up tired in the mornings, even after being asleep for 7-8 hours), then it might be time to try boosting your natural melatonin. And one of the easiest ways to do this is through the foods that you eat, during the day (or about 2 hours before you go to bed).

Checkout this post for the foods that are highest producers of natural melatonin! Pistachios and Pure Cherry Juice rank in the top two spots!

For more information about how to improve the quality of your sleep every night, feel free to reach out to Tacit at any time - this is one of our areas of expertise (for people of all ages!). We can also come to your place of employment to provide a Wellness Learning Session for your work team on this topic. You can reach us at counsellors@tacitknows.com
