Figuring out what to make for dinner is the bane of my existence. What about you guys?

Between decision fatigue, executive dysfunction, and having 23 tabs open in your brain at once... yeah, meal planning can feel like actual chaos.

Sometimes it’s a culinary masterpiece. Other times it’s dry toast and existential dread. Both are valid.

Today, many of us in so-called Canada will gather around tables to share food, memories, and warmth.

And there’s something deeply beautiful in that.

But the truth is, Canadian Thanksgiving doesn’t exist in a vacuum. While it doesn’t carry the same direct legacy as the American myth, it’s still rooted in settler-colonial ideas of “peaceful harvest” — on land that was never ceded.

Gratitude is powerful — when it’s not divorced from responsibility.

This year, we invite you to approach Thanksgiving not just as a celebration, but as a moment of reflection:

🌾 What do we inherit?
🌾 Who do we thank?
🌾 How do we repair?

We’re not here to guilt or shame — those aren’t tools of transformation. But we are here to name the complexity and to honour the Indigenous peoples who continue to steward this land, often without recognition or justice.

We are grateful — for you, for this community, and for the chance to keep learning how to show up better.

Wishing you a nourishing weekend, however you spend it. 🧡 From the team at Embodied Resilience

We know how overwhelming it can feel to search for mental health support online. Too many buzzwords, not enough real talk.

That’s why starting Friday, September 12th, our own Robert Simms (MSW RSW) will be going live every week for a free Q&A session — 1:00–1:30pm EST.

Think of it like a coffee chat with a therapist who gets it. You bring your questions (big, small, or awkward), and Robert brings honesty, humour, and years of lived + professional experience.

Because healing isn’t just clinical — it’s communal. 💛

🖍️ Some feelings are too big for words — especially for kids.

The “Truth Scribble” is a simple practice that helps children express what they’re carrying, without needing to explain it.

Here’s how it works:
🎨 Let them draw a feeling using any shapes or colours.
🗣️ Then ask: “What would this drawing say if it could talk?”

You might be surprised by what comes through.
No pressure. No perfection. Just gentle, expressive play.

Sometimes, “I’m fine” is the only answer we can offer.
Not because it’s true — but because finding the real words feels like too much.

Here’s the thing: therapy isn’t about knowing exactly what to say.
It’s about slowly learning to tell the truth in your own voice… even if that voice shakes.

Whether you’ve been bottling up emotions for years, or you’re just starting to notice what you’ve been carrying — you deserve space for your truth.

✨ This week, try asking yourself:
What truth have I been holding inside?

You don’t have to figure it out alone.
We see you. We get you. Because we are you.

💬 Our psychotherapists offer gentle, validating support for wherever you’re at.
Book with us when you’re ready.

“Not all therapy was made for us — but that doesn’t mean healing isn’t possible.”

At Embodied Resilience, we work with racialized clients who’ve been through enough. Navigating medical systems that minimized your pain. Holding space for others while no one held space for you. Carrying stories your ancestors never had the safety to say out loud.

This BIPOC Mental Health Month, we’re not just “raising awareness” — we’re building belonging.

Therapy should be a place where your whole self can exhale. Culture, identity, history, community — all of it matters. And it belongs in the room.

🧠 Need a space that actually gets it?
We’ve got room. Let’s talk.

🔧 Try this neurodivergent-friendly tool for reconnecting with purpose (especially on tough days):

The “Enough List”

Write down 3 things you did today (they don’t need to be “productive”).
For each one, ask: 👉 Did this connect me to someone or something I care about? 👉 Did this honour my body or nervous system? 👉 Did this reflect who I want to be, not just what I want to do?

Often, what feels “small” is actually deeply sacred.

💬 Clients in child & youth psychotherapy love this one too—especially when we frame it as a “superpower recharge.”

Purpose isn’t a race. It’s a rhythm.

Canada Day brings up mixed emotions for many—including our clinic founder, Robert, who has both Indigenous and European ancestry.

It can be a day of gratitude and community connection.
It can also be a time of grief and reflection.

For Indigenous Peoples, this holiday may highlight not only historic harms, but the ongoing effects of colonization and systemic injustice in Canada today.

As Robert shares in his recent blog post, “We carry both celebration and grief. Holding space for that truth is part of our work.”

At Embodied Resilience, we acknowledge these complexities. We invite you to reflect with us—not just today, but every day.
