Trauma is a very real experience for many people. Trauma responses can be activated my many different factors, even if they seem positive on the surface. A trauma sensitive approach is not something that should only be enacted in healthcare settings, they should be present in all aspects of life. Please keep these examples in mind in your relationships.

If you are struggling with trauma or you believe your partner may be, it can be helpful to talk to someone. Our counsellors at Chettiar are here to support you with finding ways to approach your relationship in a more trauma sensitive way, or to communicate your potential activators to your partner. See the link in our bio for counsellors currently accepting clients and to book an appointment or consultation.

Linear progress is a societal idealization. Healing is not linear and it is perfectly fine for there to be ups and downs in your healing journey. What is not okay is beating yourself up when things get worse. Remember that you are not alone in this but also remember that you should not compare yourself to others.

If you would like someone to cheer you on through your journey and lift you up when things get worse, see the link in our bio for counsellors currently accepting clients. Social support can go a long way and you don't have to grow alone.

April is stress awareness month. Stress is something that is really important to be aware of because it is so prevalent in our lives. It is important to know the signs of when we are stressed and learn ways to help us decrease that stress once we recognize it.

There are many stress regulation tips online but the important thing to remember is that stress regulation is personal; it is important to know that not all tips will work for everyone and trying multiple is important to find what works for us.

If you would like to talk to a counsellor about stress management, visit our website (in our bio) and navigate to "services" and "stress therapy" (or use this link: https://chettiarcounselling.ca/services/stress-therapy) to learn more and see our counsellors who have trained in stress therapy.

Please remember that you deserve to be in a healthy and happy relationship with partner/s, friend/s, family, and other individuals in your life. Often relationships that are unhealthy are hard to detect and by the time we detect them, it is easy to gaslight ourselves out of leaving. Please do not feel guilty for taking care of yourself and ending unhealthy relationships. Also note that unhealthy relationships may also involve these so just because a relationship has them does not mean it is automatically healthy. However, if your relationship does not have these features you may want to consider how that relationship is impacting you and your mental health.

If you would like to talk to someone about your relationship, whether healthy, unhealthy, or uncertain, our counsellors at Chettiar are here to support you. See the link in our bio for counsellors who are currently accepting clients and to book an appointment today.

Many people experience symptoms of anxiety throughout their lives. However, persistent anxiety can not only become averse for the individual struggling, it can also impact their relationship with others. It is important not to think in absolutes. Individuals with anxiety are not inherently bad people, despite the tension and strain their behaviours can put on relationships.

If you feel that your or someone else's anxiety is creating challenges in your relationship, please reach out to someone for support. It is also important to communicate with the other individuals in your relationship and understand how they are feeling. Our counsellors at Chettiar are happy to support you on this or any other journey. See the link to our website in our bio to see therapists who are currently accepting clients and to book a consultation.

This is a friendly reminder that no one should ever have to justify their emotions or experiences. Transgenerational trauma is very real and the impacts of it are very different and many are still being researched. Just because someone did not have an averse experience themself, does not mean their emotions or bodily responses to their experiences are any less valid. Life is complex and there are many factors that go into someone's subjective experience. Additionally, experiences are subjective meaning everyone experiences the same event differently, and everyone's experience is valid. Trauma and its effects need to be destigmatized and that starts with educating ourselves.

If you would like to talk more about potential inherited trauma feel free to reach out to our counsellors who will do their best to provide you with accurate information and the support you require. See the link to our website in our bio and look at the counsellors who are currently accepting clients to book an appointment. Know that we are here to support you and you are not alone in your experience.
