Let’s set the record straight: expressing your feelings isn’t the same as trauma dumping. 💭

Yes, trauma dumping does exist, it happens when someone shares intense or graphic experiences without the other person’s consent, context, or awareness of their emotional capacity. It tends to feel one-sided, overwhelming, and can leave the listener feeling responsible for “fixing” things.

Here’s what trauma dumping isn’t:

🙅‍♀️ Reaching out to a friend to say you’re anxious or having a hard time
🙅‍♀️ Venting about a rough day at work
🙅‍♀️ Sharing insights from therapy or healing work
🙅‍♀️ Being honest about your mental health journey

Too many of us have become afraid of being “too much,” and in that fear, we silence ourselves, cutting off the very connection and support we crave as humans. Your feelings are valid. Your story deserves space.

And if you need a place where your story can be safely held, reach out.

Too many people look at the end goal of what they consider to be someone who is successful and see where they want to be.

Not acknowledging the climb it takes to get there and the importance of the steps along the way.

Meet Christina ✨ she works with individuals who feel stuck, anxious, depressed, grieving, carrying the weight of trauma, struggling with self-esteem, or trying to make sense of love, loss, and all the messy, complicated parts of being human.

Her path to becoming a therapist wasn’t a straight line. Christina began her career in marketing after earning her degree from Ryerson University and spent decades building a successful life in that field. But something kept pulling her toward the work she does now. Eventually, she took the leap and went back to school for her master’s in psychotherapy. Along the way, she wrestled with doubts, Am I too old? Am I wasting time? and now sees how those very questions make her more attuned to the struggles and resilience of the people she works with.

How we view ourselves, our identity,
is based on an amalgam of experiences, values, abilities, and expectations. When a meaningful part of your life is lost, self-perceptions and your place in the world may change.

It’s irrelevant if the loss was a life-long partner, the daily jog for someone who has run for 40 years now shuffling because of deteriorating joints, or loss of a dog.

Significant losses produce in a person’s identity. For example when someone loses their dog they may lose their jogging partner or there may no longer be little paws tapping on their floor. That loss is felt daily and it has become part of their life and their norm . That familiarity gives people a sense of peace and comfort and then that is gone it leaves an individual aching for that feeling.

Hi, Arianne here 👋.

If you’re parenting or caring for a child around 10–12, you’ve probably noticed the big emotions that can come in waves up one moment, down the next. It can feel overwhelming, but it’s also a completely normal part of development.

This is often when kids begin navigating the first signs of emotional changes, which makes it such an important time to help them start building those foundational skills of emotional regulation.

Productivity is not just about output; it’s about relationship.

The way you engage with your employees, how you listen, support, and recognize them, directly shapes how they show up. If people don’t feel cared for, their capacity to be fully engaged diminishes.

Take care of your employees, and their productivity will take care of itself.

Meet Ariane ✨ she works with people navigating ADHD, self-esteem, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and grief. Many of the people she sees are figuring out how to feel more grounded, more confident, and more themselves in the midst of change, uncertainty, or loss.

She has experience supporting BIPOC clients and brings a trauma-informed lens to everything she does because what’s happened to you matters, and so does the story you tell yourself about it.
