✨ Blog Post Highlight ✨

This month, we are highlighting a past blog post of our Registered Psychologist, Linda Forde, Conflict Communication Strategies Series: Validation, focusing on one of the most powerful tools for healthier communication.

Validation is often misunderstood, yet it is one of the most powerful skills for improving communication and reducing conflict. In this post, Linda breaks validation down into six practical steps, showing how it can be learned, practiced, and strengthened over time.

If you are looking to improve communication in your relationships, at work, or during difficult conversations, this is a supportive place to start 🌿

2026 is here 🌿

A new year can feel like a fresh start, a quiet reset, or simply another step forward, and all of those are okay.

If you are carrying things from last year that feel heavy, you do not have to do this alone. Healing does not require perfection or big promises. It begins with small, supportive steps.

When you are ready, we are here to walk alongside you 🤍

⏳ In her newest blog post, Holistic Healing Counselling owner and counsellor, Shaheen Alarakhia, writes: "Time poverty is the feeling of never having enough time to meet the demands of daily life."

If this quote resonates with you, you are not alone. For many people, the pressure to keep up becomes so familiar that they do not realize how deeply it affects their emotional well-being. Time poverty is not just about being busy. It is the constant sense of rushing, stretching yourself thin, and never having the space to rest or truly breathe. 🧘‍♀️

⏳ Owner/counsellor, Shaheen Alarakhia, has written a blog about time poverty. Time poverty is more common than we think. When your days feel packed, and you cannot catch your breath, it can be more than being busy. Time poverty occurs when your responsibilities exceed the time and energy available to meet them. It leaves you stretched thin, disconnected from what matters, and constantly trying to catch up rather than truly living. 🌿

It can quietly drain your emotional well-being, increase stress, and make even small tasks feel overwhelming. You deserve a life that has room for rest, joy, and presence. If you are feeling the impact of time poverty, support is available. Our counsellors at Holistic Healing Counselling can help you understand the root and build healthier patterns so you can reclaim your time and your peace.

❄️ There is something about a quiet snowy path that reminds us to slow our steps. The holiday season can make life feel especially full. With so much to do, we often move from one task to the next without a moment to pause.

Taking time to slow down and be present can make a meaningful difference for your well-being. A mindfulness walk is a simple and powerful way to do this. It blends gentle movement with mindful awareness, helping reduce stress, increase relaxation, support immune functioning, and ease symptoms of anxiety and depression. 💛

As you walk, try engaging all of your senses. Notice the sound of the snow under your feet, the cool air on your skin, and the rhythm of your breath. When you finish, take a moment to stand still and breathe deeply.

If you give this a try, we would love to hear how the experience felt for you in the comments.

🌿 Understanding Burnout Through a Biopsychosocial Lens 🌿

Burnout doesn't happen in just one part of our lives, nor is it because of one part of our lives. It's shaped by our biology, psychology, and our social environment. Looking at all three aspects is called taking a biopsychosocial approach. We want to look at the whole person, not just the symptoms.

➡️ Swipe through to explore examples of how each factor plays a role in burnout.

At Holistic Healing Counselling, we take a whole-person approach to wellness. We want to support the mind, body, and spirit together.

Guilt can feel heavy. It often shows up when we've learned to take responsibility for things that were never truly ours to carry. It can keep us stuck in old patterns, replaying moments, apologizing for simply being human, or feeling undeserving of peace.

At Holistic Healing Counselling, we look beneath the surface of guilt to understand where it comes from. Because when we heal the root, we free ourselves to move forward with compassion, rather than shame.
