✨ Janvier est bruyant. Le rétablissement est intentionnel.

En début d’année, les messages autour des diètes et de la perte de poids sont partout.

Pour les personnes qui vivent avec un trouble alimentaire ou une relation difficile avec l’alimentation, ce bruit peut créer une pression qui va à l’encontre du rétablissement, de la stabilité et du bien-être.

Toutes les résolutions ne soutiennent pas le rétablissement.

Les intentions alignées avec vos valeurs ressemblent souvent à ceci :
🥣 Nourrir son corps plutôt que restreindre
🛌 Se reposer plutôt que se pousser à bout
⚖️ Chercher l’équilibre plutôt que les extrêmes
🌱 Se définir au-delà de l’apparence ou de la performance

Vivre en accord avec ses valeurs pendant la saison des résolutions peut vouloir dire faire des choix différents de ceux que la culture dominante valorise.

👉 Faites défiler pour découvrir des façons de vous recentrer sur vos valeurs cette nouvelle année et soutenir votre rétablissement et votre bien-être émotionnel.

Enregistrez ce message comme rappel.
👉 Partagez-le avec quelqu’un qui pourrait en avoir besoin.

🌙 A gentle reminder as Ramadan gets closer…

If the thought of Ramadan is bringing up more heaviness than peace, this might be your sign to pause and check in with yourself.

If you’ve been thinking:
✨ “My relationship with food makes this month feel complicated.”
✨ “I feel a lot of guilt around fasting.”
✨ “I worry about being judged by family or community.”
✨ “Suhoor and iftar feel stressful instead of grounding.”

You should join our 8-week DBT/REBT therapeutic support group, created by Sana Ilyas, supervised therapist, to support Muslims navigating eating challenges as Ramadan approaches.

🌙 This group offers:
• Skills grounded in DBT & REBT
• Gentle integration of Islamic teachings
• Support around guilt, shame, urges & fasting pressure
• Mindful eating tools for suhoor & iftar
• Emotional regulation & grounding practices (including dhikr)
• A small, supportive community that understands this experience

🌙 Details
🗓 Orientation: Jan 27 @ 6pm
🕰 Saturdays @ 12pm | Jan 31 – Mar 21

💰 $80/session (payment plans available)

✨ “I dread Ramadan because my relationship with food feels complicated.”
✨ “I feel guilty for not fasting.”

✔ Skills grounded in DBT + REBT
✔ Islamic teachings integrated gently and compassionately

Is starting therapy part of your 2026 resolutions but it feels too overwhelming? You may benefit from joining our DBT group!

🫂 A lot of people hear “group therapy” and picture a support group : sharing stories, offering encouragement, and connecting.

Valuable? Absolutely.

But a DBT group is something very different.

Here’s what sets it apart ⤵️

🧠 1. It’s skills-based.
Not just talking, but learning. You’ll practice evidence-based tools for emotion regulation, relationships, and distress tolerance. Think: an emotional skills class with warmth and structure.

📚 2. There’s a clear framework.
Each session includes:
• A brief lesson
• Guided skills practice
• Optional reflection
• Homework to help you use the skills in real life

🤝 3. Led by trained therapists.
You’re guided by our two supervised therapists so the space stays safe, supported, and focused on growth.

🌱 4. Growth-focused, not just validation-focused.
Support alone is great. DBT adds action. You’ll learn what to do next when emotions feel intense.

👥 5. Small + connected.
Only 8 participants, meeting weekly (virtually) for 12 sessions, so everyone gets adequate attention and enough time to practice.

‼️ In case you missed it, we extended the start date to January 14th 2026 to better fit your schedule.

🔗 There’s still time to join! Spots are limited, sign up through the link in our bio!

🇨🇦 Open to Quebec and Ontario residents!

Have you ever felt like you’ve tried therapy… but you’re still stuck in the same patterns?

It doesn’t mean you’ve failed. Sometimes it just means you need a different kind of support.

That’s where DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) comes in.

DBT isn’t just talking about your emotions. It teaches you what to do when they feel too intense, overwhelming, or too hard to navigate alone.

In our DBT Skills Group, you’ll learn tools to:
🧘‍♀️ calm your body when anxiety spikes
💬 communicate when you want to shut down
💛 manage urges without acting on them
🌱 move through emotions instead of getting stuck in them

If nothing else has helped, our DBT Support Group led by our two Supervised Therapists, Sana and Samantha, might be the thing that finally clicks.

📅 Updated start date: January 14th, 2026

We’ve extended our start date to give more clients the chance to join and to better meet everyone’s availability.

🇨🇦 Open to residents from Quebec and Ontario.

💛 DM us or send us an email to sign up!

Les Fêtes peuvent ramener des commentaires blessants ou intrusifs sur la nourriture ou le corps, surtout quand on vit avec des enjeux alimentaires ou d’image corporelle.

Ce carrousel t’offre des réponses simples, respectueuses et fermes pour te protéger et garder ton bien-être au centre. Tu n’as pas à justifier ton assiette, ton corps ou ta façon de manger. Tes limites sont valides, et tu as le droit de rediriger la conversation… ou de te retirer complètement si c’est ce qui te fait du bien. 🌿

Rappelle-toi :
✨ Tu mérites de manger sans honte.
✨ Tu as le droit de nommer tes limites.
✨ Tu n’as pas à engager dans des conversations qui te mettent mal à l’aise.

Prendre soin de toi, même dans un contexte familial, c’est courageux, et absolument légitime. 🤍

Joyeuses fêtes!!

Eating disorders are not about willpower or personal choice. The words we use with someone who’s struggling matter more than we often realize.

They’re complex mental health conditions shaped by biological, psychological, and sociocultural factors, which means seemingly harmless comments can land in painful or triggering ways.

This post highlights things you shouldn’t say to someone with an eating disorder, not to shame anyone, but to help you understand why certain phrases can unintentionally increase guilt, distress, or isolation, even when the intention is supportive.

As you read through, keep these reminders in mind:

• Comments about someone’s body or food choices can still cause harm, even when meant kindly.

• We never know who is struggling, or what they’re navigating beneath the surface.

• Supportive language helps create safety, while dismissive or body-focused language can deepen shame.

Healing happens in environments that feel compassionate, curious, and validating, and that begins with the words we choose.

💙 Save this post whenever you need a reminder, and share it with someone who might benefit from a more supportive way of talking about EDs.
