🌿 The Power of Teamwork 🌿

Today, we join the global community in recognizing World Su***de Prevention Day and this year’s theme: “Changing the Narrative on Su***de.”

Too often, conversations about su***de are surrounded by silence, stigma, and fear. This theme reminds us that change is possible—when we replace judgment with compassion, misunderstanding with empathy, and isolation with connection. 💛

At Emmerling Psychology, we are committed to:
🌱 Creating safe spaces for hard conversations.
🌱 Offering support rooted in compassion, understanding, and hope.
🌱 Reminding each person that their story matters, and their life has value.

📞 If you are in Canada and need support:
• Call or text 9-8-8 (Su***de Crisis Helpline, available 24/7)
• Kids Help Phone: 1-800-668-6868 or text CONNECT
• Hope for Wellness Help Line (Indigenous support): 1-855-242-3310 or hopeforwellness.ca
• Emergency: Dial 911 if someone is in immediate danger

Together, let’s change the narrative—because every life is worth the conversation. 💙

Boundaries vs. Judgment

In Emotion-Focused Skills Training (EFST), we often explore how emotions show up in relationships—and one common challenge is boundaries.

So often, we confuse boundaries with judgment:
* Setting a boundary can feel like rejection.
* Saying “no” can feel like criticism.
* Protecting our limits can feel like we’re failing someone.

But boundaries aren’t about judging others. They’re about recognizing our own needs and limits so we can show up with more compassion, presence, and care. 💙

EFST reminds us that boundary-setting becomes complex when fear, shame, or judgment get tangled in. When we can validate our emotions (and those of others), we create space for boundaries to exist without blame.

Healthy boundaries are not a wall—they’re an act of clarity, respect, and love.

September is Su***de Awareness Month

At Emmerling Psychology, we are committed to standing with those impacted by su***de—whether through personal struggle or the loss of a loved one. 💛

This month is not only about awareness, but also about prevention. By continuing to raise conversations around mental health, we can help break the stigma, create safer communities, and remind one another that we don’t have to carry heavy burdens alone.

Our team is here to offer spaces where you can talk openly, feel supported, and know that you are safe.

You are not alone. 💛

Back-to-School Transitions

As kids head back to school, it’s natural for worries, fears, and big feelings to show up. Starting something new, meeting new people, and finding a new routine can feel overwhelming — for children and adults alike.

One of the most important things we can do as caregivers is to validate those feelings. Let your child know it’s okay to be nervous, excited, or unsure. Hold space for their emotions, remind them they’re not alone, and gently support them as they find their rhythm.

Just like any new beginning, it takes time to adjust. With patience, understanding, and connection, kids can build confidence and resilience as they settle into the year ahead.

At Emmerling Psychology, we are deeply committed to being a safe, welcoming, and affirming space for the 2SLGBTQ+ community. 🏳️‍🌈

Everyone deserves to feel seen, respected, and supported—not only in therapy, but in every corner of our community. Creating safety, celebrating diversity, and advocating for equity are not optional values for us; they are at the heart of how we show up every day.

We believe that caring for mental health also means caring for the wellbeing, rights, and dignity of all members of our city. By standing together, we can build a community where every person can live authentically and safely. 💜

Welcome Maddy Killoh to Emmerling Psychology!

We’re so excited to introduce Maddy Killoh (she/her), Registered Provisional Psychologist, as the newest member of our team!

Maddy was drawn to this work through her genuine love of connection. A true “people person”, she values the deep healing that can come from building meaningful relationships.

✨ Maddy’s approach to therapy:
✔️ Supports clients in understanding their needs
✔️ Builds self-awareness and confidence

Slow Down to Move Forward

As summer starts to fade into the golden days of August, it’s easy to get swept up in the rush of what’s next—back-to-school prep, new sports schedules, and the return of jam-packed calendars.

But before you leap into the busyness, take a pause.
✨ Ask yourself: What do I need right now?
✨ What will help me feel grounded as life speeds up again?

Sometimes, the most productive thing we can do is breathe, reflect, and set a focus for the season ahead. Give yourself the space to recalibrate so you can step into this next chapter feeling ready, not rushed.

Here’s your reminder: You’re allowed to slow down before life speeds up.

“It didn’t start with you — but it can stop with you.”

Generational trauma can show up in subtle patterns:
🔁 Emotional disconnection
🔁 Unresolved grief
🔁 Cycles of shame, fear, or perfectionism

At Emmerling Psychology, we help individuals and families explore the roots of these patterns — and build healthier ways forward.

Through therapy, you can:
✔️ Understand where these cycles began
✔️ Process what was passed down
✔️ Learn new tools to parent, connect, and live with intention
✔️ Become the cycle breaker your family needs

Healing doesn’t erase the past — it rewrites the future.
You don’t have to carry it all. And you don’t have to pass it on. Contact us to begin your healing journey:
• Phone: 780‑399‑2229
• In‑person & virtual sessions available
• Located at: #620, 10055 106 Street NW, Edmonton, AB, T5J 2Y2

Transform pain into possibility—with support, insight, and care.

🧠✨ Long Weekend Reminder ✨🧠

This long weekend, give yourself permission to slow down. Whether that means curling up with a book, taking a walk in nature, spending time with people who restore you — or simply doing nothing at all — your needs matter.

🙌🏻 Listen to what your mind and body are asking for.
🔄 Rest. Move. Connect. Reflect. Laugh. Breathe.
Whatever fills you up — that’s the right choice.

Taking time to recharge isn’t selfish — it’s essential. You don’t need to earn rest. You just need to honor what you need.

Wishing you a grounded, nourishing weekend.
