In intensive trauma therapy we examine the four F’s( Fight, Flight ( fright) , Freeze, Fawn ) . Yet within these 4 spaces, there are smaller F’s that aren’t often seen or even valued. When in healing spaces we may feel the smaller versions and it is okay. You are not regressing, your nervous system , body , mind and psyche are trying to in sync. Give yourself grace.

As we navigate the holiday season a kind reminder that mental health requires us to choose a path that makes us uncomfortable for healing. Healing journeys are intentional. They have a purpose, to unravel the things you armoured yourself in order to just survive. Now, when you land in a safe space, give yourself permission to let go what you carried. Even if it’s a little bit at a time. Give yourself some grace. TheProcessOfHealing

As gear up to celebrating a decade of our service, our journey has been fruitful. Many ups, a few challenges, distinct surprises, and tons of learning curves.

So what’s changed for EECS?

* We changed our age demographics

* We are solely focused on trauma; complex trauma

* Fee increase

* Our Motto Hope. Compassion. Healing., changed its roots to Support. Strength. Thrive. All of our clients have heard us say, “support is different than help; Strength is better than strong; and we hope through compassion and healing, we learn to live & thrive.” We’ve been saying this throughout our growth from clients, to other professionals to our past interns.

* Our web host/web design since July 2025. Our original website went dark by web host without our knowledge and we lost access to it. Scrambling to find a right fit and after number of local discovery calls, we found our fit! We love our new site . The look may be different but our wording is ours and it remained the same.

* The colour theme on all professional pages. As we believe it is with much gratitude that our communities across Ontario and Alberta saw something in us that was worth seeing its growth. We are humbled and grateful we continue to be a safe landing for so many.

* SoloCast “Empowering Minds”

What stayed the same at EECS?

* Our name.
* Our vision, mission & values
* Our demographics
* Our niche
* Our peer support groups and workshops at our sister site
* Our social media outlets
* Our dedication to our communities
* Our “out there “ insights .
* Lived experiences
* We are not for everyone, but we are something to someone.
