Perfectionism is stealing sleep, confidence, and joy from a lot of teens right now.
If you’re tired of never feeling “good enough,” here’s a gentle reminder: you don’t have to live like that.

✨ Teens deal with more than they ever say out loud. These pictures break down how trauma really shows up — and why it’s not “drama,” it’s survival.

✨ Exciting Professional Update! ✨
I’m happy to share that I am now a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional (CCATP). 🧠💛
This training deepened my understanding of how the brain and body respond to anxiety, and strengthened the tools I use to support children and teens who are struggling. Anxiety can feel overwhelming — but with the right knowledge and strategies, it is manageable, and no one has to navigate it alone.
I’m looking forward to bringing this expertise into my work and continuing to help students feel safe, seen, and supported. 🩷

I have been overwhelmed (in the best way possible) by the incredible community support I have received in opening my new private practice! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

One month in, and I am finding so much fulfillment in working with such incredible people. It is a gift, when others are willing to share their stories with me. I appreciate the trust that it takes to dive so deeply into tough topics. I am honoured that so many have chosen me to do that with me. 💛

Unbelievably, I am currently full and am now adding names to my waitlist! Send an email to sarahhoytcounselling@gmail.com and I'll help get you setup on my waitlist for my next availability.

I appreciate all of the love I have received!

With gratitude,
Sarah

Ever notice how a tiny comment, an eye roll, or a meltdown from your child can set off a huge reaction in you?
That’s not you “overreacting.” That’s your nervous system remembering something old.

Maybe it touches a memory of not being heard as a child.

Maybe it brushes up against a belief that “good parents always stay calm.”

Maybe it triggers that old fear of being out of control, or not being enough.

Maybe it pulls forward the exhaustion of trying to hold everything together.

Your reaction is not a failure. It’s information.

Your nervous system is saying, “This feels familiar,” even if you can’t consciously place why.

And here’s the empowering part:
✨ When we understand our triggers, we can respond to our child with more intention and less guilt.
✨ We can show ourselves compassion for carrying burdens we never chose.
✨ We can separate our story from theirs — so their behaviour becomes something to support, not something to fear.

If you find yourself having “big responses” to your child, it doesn’t mean you’re a bad parent.

It means you’re human.

It means there’s a story underneath.

And it means healing is possible — for both you and your child.
You’re doing better than you think. 💛

Does this scenario or something similar, sound familiar?
Does your teen need someone to talk to work through it? I have space for two more clients for in-person services in Fredericton. No waitlist!

Your child loved soccer. ⚽️

One missed goal → teasing/social media comments → shame. 📱

That voice said: “You’re a failure.”

So they quit. Stopped hanging out. Hid. 🙇

Shame makes you believe you’re broken.

Truth? You’re human. You’re worthy. Always.

Talk about it. Shame shrinks when shared.

Thoughts are not facts.
Let's say that again:
Thoughts are not facts.

When a negative thought pops into your child's head and they feel safe enough to share it with you, practice asking your child for the evidence to support that thought.

Or simply ask, "what if that thought isn't 100% true?"

I have watched children as young as 6 break down a negative thought with that simple question.

The brain is amazing 🧠

Try it out!

A simple message for today 💕

Does this sound familiar?

🌊~ I don't like seeing my child experience discomfort, especially when I know I can easily step in and "fix the problem" or "rescue them!" ~

🤔Let's think about what might happen if we allow our children to "Ride the Wave" of discomfort or anxiety instead of stepping in to save the day!

As we prepare to close out 2025, let's reflect on all the ways that we've grown and celebrate our wins.

For me personally, this year has taught me that I am braver and stronger than I thought. I pushed myself out of my comfort zone on multiple occasions. From jumping through the hoops to become a Licensed Counselling Therapist, performing on The Playhouse stage for the first time, making so many amazing new connections as I've stepped out of my comfortable world, and ensuring that I still find time for me and do things that fill my cup, I have much to celebrate and be grateful for.

That's not to say there weren't challenges, huge stressors and moments that I am not so proud of as a parent, partner and person. Like each of you, I am human. I make mistakes all the time!

I choose to give myself grace, look at my growth and move forward with intention. You have permission to do the same 🫶 You are worthy of forgiveness and deserve compassion and kindness.

Cheers to 2026 and reaching new heights!

Trauma can affect how our brain works.
We are wired so that when we experience a "threat," we go into fight, flight, or freeze without thinking. Our brain sends alarm signals in order to protect us.

After experiencing a trauma, our brains, constantly scanning for threats, can sometimes get it wrong. This can look like a very big reaction to a very small trigger.
If this happens, respond with calm. Remind your child they are safe and support them through their reaction.

If you yourself have experienced trauma, keep in mind that you may also be reacting strongly to small triggers. Try to bring awareness to this and give yourself grace and kindness.
