When tension rises, it’s easy to go quiet. Not because you don’t care, but because your nervous system is trying to protect you.

Shutting down can create distance… but it doesn’t have to.

Here are a few simple one-liners you can use with your partner to keep connection alive—even when you need a pause.

Save this for the next time you feel yourself pulling away in a conversation.

Our therapy rooms hold space for a lot: big feelings, small wins, deep breaths… and a few random objects that somehow make it all feel a little more grounded, cozy, or just easier to open up.

From fidget tools to cozy mugs to “why is this here?” shelf items - here are things in our therapists’ offices that aren’t essential… but totally are.

💬 Seen any of these in your sessions? Got a favourite therapy room object? Tell us yours.

Therapy progress isn’t always big and dramatic.🌱

Sometimes it looks like pausing before you say yes, noticing your breath deepen, or speaking to yourself with just a little more kindness.

If it feels subtle - it’s still progress.

Therapy isn’t just about healing deep wounds or talking through crises.
It’s also about those subtle, powerful shifts that make life feel lighter, clearer, and more yours.

Here are some overlooked ways therapy can help you - especially if you’re a woman who’s used to being the one everyone leans on.

Ever catch yourself saying yes when every part of you wants to say no?
Or feel guilty the moment you try to honor your own limits?

As therapists, we see this all the time, boundaries can bring up guilt, fear of letting people down, or even worry about seeming “selfish.”

Here are 3 gentle scripts you can borrow when you need to set a boundary, without overexplaining or apologizing.

Our latest blog discusses why guilt shows up so strongly when we set boundaries (and how to ease it). Link in bio.

🤠 Setting boundaries doesn’t make you a party pooper.

It makes you a person with honest limits.
The people who care about you will understand and probably need the same reminder themselves.

This past Sunday, some of the Risewell team had the honour of attending and sponsoring the PILSC Legacy Walk & Run — an event we’ve proudly supported for the past three years.

This cause is close to our hearts, both professionally and personally. As a practice that supports women and individuals through grief, trauma, and healing — and as someone who has been personally touched by pregnancy loss — this day holds deep meaning.

We showed up in memory of Wood babies, my niece, Maeve, and in solidarity with all those impacted by pregnancy and infant loss.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to connect with our team and to all who showed up for this important event. Your presence matters.

What if therapy went beyond skills and conversation, and became a felt, full-bodied process?

In our latest blog post, Kelsey Moss, Provisional Psychologist, MACP, RYT, shares how integrating yoga into therapy can help you support your nervous system and explore a deeper connection with your mind, body, emotions, and Self. ⁠

For Mental Health Awareness Week, we asked our team:
💬 "What's something you're unlearning about mental health — or wish more people would?"

Their answers are real, personal, and powerful.
Because mental health isn’t just about adding new tools — sometimes it’s about unlearning old beliefs that no longer serve us.

This week (and always), we’re celebrating growth, healing, and the courage to see things differently.

What’s something you’re unlearning about mental health? 👇

Mental Health Awareness Week is a reminder that caring for our mental health isn’t one-size-fits-all and it doesn’t have to be complicated either.

Here’s a peek at the real, everyday ways some of our team supports their well-being.

Big or small, playful or reflective - your mental health rituals are meaningful.
