I've been spending time lately coming back to tools I learned from ACT (Acceptance Commitment Therapy).

I still remember how it felt for me to learn these tools and use them myself!

It's pretty powerful to know that your brain is doing what it is designed to do. You're not broken, but the switches in these psychological processes (designed to keep us safe) might be a little sticky and staying in the 'on' position too much/too often.

Have a read, and follow along as I review some of these tools and strategies over the next few weeks!

When Your Thoughts Hold You HostageDo you ever feel trapped in your own mind—like your brain is looping through “What if I fail?” or “I should’ve done better” on repeat? You’re not alone. Many people live with a sense of being pulled by their anxious, self-critical, or rigid inner voic...

Helping Kids with Big Emotions: A Fun Game You Can Try Tonight

One of the simplest—and most powerful—ways to help kids with big emotions is to teach them how to label their feelings.

Kids often feel emotions strongly, but they don’t always have the words to express them. That’s where the Feeling Faces Game comes in!

Here’s how to play:

Add it to your bedtime story routine—or any quiet moment together.

Take turns making a face that shows an emotion you felt during the day.

The other person guesses the emotion.

Share a little story about why you felt that way.

Over time, you can introduce new emotions and help your child practice naming them in a safe and playful way.

Give it a try tonight—and let us know how it goes!

Managing ADHD challenges isn’t about perfection — it’s about progress, patience, and finding what works for you. If this to-do list made you smile (or cringe), we get it!

We know that ADHD brains have their own rhythm — full of creativity, spontaneity, and yes, some organized chaos.

At 3 Rivers Counselling we love exploring tools that can make (ADHD) life easier.
