Is your kiddo ready for the upcoming school year?

As the new school year approaches, it’s a great time to reflect on how your child is doing emotionally, socially and academically. If your child has been struggling with learning, focus, behaviour, or emotional regulation, a psychological assessment has the potential to help offer Clarity!

Assessments can help:
– Identify learning differences or challenges (such as ADHD or learning disorders)
– Provide clarity around emotional or behavioral concerns
– Support school planning, including access to accommodations
– Offer tailored recommendations to help your kiddo thrive at school and at home

Getting an assessment early in the school year means educators and caregivers can respond proactively, rather than reactively.

Clarity Psychology is proud of to offer assessment services in Alberta and in North Vancouver, BC.

Interested to learn more? Call us today at 587.782.4744 and book a free consultation with our Director, Dr. Sean Barford, RPsych, to see if an assessment is appropriate for your child.

The spotlight effect refers to our tendency to overestimate how much other people notice and remember about us, especially in social situations. In other words, we feel like we’re constantly in the spotlight even though most people are paying far less attention than we think.

The spotlight effect is rooted in egocentrism, a natural cognitive bias where we see ourselves as the center of our own experience. Because we’re so focused on our own thoughts, actions, and appearance, we mistakenly assume others are too.

This happens because we anchor on our own perspective, then fail to adjust enough when trying to imagine what others see.

Researchers at Cornell University asked college students to wear an embarrassing t-shirt (featuring singer Barry Manilow) and then enter a room full of other students. Afterward, they were asked how many people they thought noticed the shirt. Participants guessed about 50% noticed. In reality, only around 25% did. This showed a consistent overestimation of others' attention, even in a clearly self-conscious situation.

Understanding the spotlight effect helps reduce social anxiety, perfectionism, and fear of embarrassment. It’s a reminder that people are usually more focused on themselves than on judging us.

Johann Hari is a journalist and author who explores the roots of emotional distress. In Lost Connections, he challenges the idea that depression is only a chemical issue, and instead highlights how disconnection — from meaning, relationships, and purpose — plays a central role. This eye-opening read reframes mental health and invites us to heal through reconnection and community.

When it comes to mental health care, both psychologists and Canadian Certified Counsellors (CCCs) offer valuable support. Have you ever wondered what the difference is? Here are some of the ways to understand the differences between these two titles:

1. Regulation:
- Psychologists in Alberta are regulated by the College of Alberta Psychologists (CAP) under The Health Professions Act (provincial legislation). CCCs are certified nationally through the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA), which is not regulated by specific provincial or federal legislation.

2. Assessment and Diagnosis:
Registered psychologists can formally assess and diagnose mental health disorders such as ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, learning disorders, and anxiety disorders. CCCs provide meaningful therapeutic support; CCCs are not trained to diagnose or conduct standardized psychological assessments.

3. Scope of Training and Practice:
Psychologists complete graduate-level training in psychology, plus extensive supervised practice and examinations specific to Alberta legislation.
CCCs also hold graduate degrees in counselling or related fields; the certification process is not regulated by a provincial health college though designated amounts of supervised practice rare required for registration.

One of the most common responses for individuals in the face of emotion is shutting down / avoidance. For many, this has been the most protective response to emotion learned over the lifespan. However, emotional avoidance often amplifies our emotions them over time and can result in feeling overwhelmed, dysregulated or reactive.

Therapy is a wonderful space to learn how to face your emotions and move through your pain with the support of the relationship between you and your therapist. Interested in learning more about therapy? Give us a call at 587.782.4744.
