This 4/20, we’re looking past the smoke. 🌫️

While the world celebrates, it’s important to stay informed about the rise in drug-induced psychosis.

Research published in Springer highlights a sobering reality: modern, high-potency cannabis is linked to a significant increase in psychotic episodes.

Did you know?

📉 Between 25-50% of people who experience drug-induced psychosis are diagnosed with schizophrenia within 5 years.

📉 High-THC products can trigger latent psychological conditions, especially in those under 25.

Psychosis isn't just "paranoia" - it’s a medical emergency where the brain loses its grip on reality.

This April 20th, let's prioritize safety over the high.
If you or someone you know is struggling, help is available.

Anxiety isn't just "in your head".
It’s in your nervous system. ⚙️

We’re hard-wired to feel it because it’s the body’s alarm system … but we’re often triggered at the wrong time or by the wrong situation. 🚨 Our bodies begin to interpret those "what if" thoughts as scary and treat emotional or social stressors as if they are physical threats.

Inside, it might feel like you're being chased by a bear - a racing heart, butterflies in the stomach that can feel more like knots, sweaty palms, or difficulty breathing.

Outside, it might look like perfectionism, compulsive checking (OCD), specific phobias, or the constant "what-if thoughts".

A psychotherapist can help you understand that your brain is just trying (and overachieving) to protect you. Our team works with individuals to learn and move from a state of feeling like they're in constant survival mode back into a place of emotional balance and control.

The push to return to the office full-time isn’t just about desks and commutes. For many women - especially mothers and caregivers - it’s a forced choice: caregiving and home stability, or career and income.

Working from home gave so many women breathing room: to nurture their families, manage the home, care for kids, and keep doing meaningful professional work. But as full-time return-to-office mandates roll out across public service in Ontario, that fragile balance is being dismantled.

If you’ve ever found yourself having unexpected, scary thoughts after having a baby, please know you are not alone. 💌 Postpartum moments can bring happiness, while also introducing challenges that feel hard to navigate - and both types of experiences can exist at the same time!

The heightened sensitivity of the postpartum period can make scary/unwanted thoughts feel more intense. We call these “intrusive thoughts” and they are common after having a baby.

🧠 Having intrusive thoughts in postpartum -
• are not an indicator of your intentions as a parent;
• may bring feelings of shame or fear;
• can be upsetting and unwanted;
• can come on suddenly and without warning.

💭 Signs you may need support include -
• if thoughts are feeling constant and overwhelming;
• if functioning or connecting with your baby feels difficult;
• if intrusive thoughts are lingering for longer than 2 weeks.

It’s important to remember that the postpartum journey is different for everyone. ✨ Seeking support during the postpartum period is not a sign of weakness - it’s a sign of strength and care, for both yourself and your baby.

Quality mental health care should be accessible for all. ☺️ We’re excited to share that our Student Therapists, Taylor Fidler and Zara Uppal, are now accepting new clients for low to no cost!

Pay-what-you-can therapy means that the cost of each session is self-determined based on your income and financial situation, making it affordable and easier to get the support you need. Both students have backgrounds in community mental health and have each completed over 200 hours this year. While supporting their clients, they will accrue their program’s practicum requirements - all while being supervised by Kathy Wlodarczyk, RP.

Sessions are available in-person or virtually depending on needs and preferences. If you or someone you know has been considering therapy but cost has been a barrier, we welcome you to reach out! Visit twodoves.ca to learn more, or reach out via email: clientcare@twodoves.ca.

Struggling with past trauma that still feels present?
EMDR Therapy may help.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a trauma-informed approach that helps your brain reprocess distressing memories. It's not going to erase the traumatic memory but will allow the memory to exist without the overstimulation leading to emotional dysregulation. 🧠

This powerful tool has helped many people feel more emotionally regulated, experience fewer triggers, and build a more compassionate relationship with themselves.

✨ Lina is now accepting new EMDR clients. If you're ready to learn more or get started, request an appointment through our website (twodoves.ca) or email us at clientcare@twodoves.ca.
