Good morning from Raincouver. Almost 5 years alcohol-free. I nerd out on therapy, long walks in the drizzle, and becoming a better dad & husband—always a work in progress. If the weather can change, so can we.

One event can shatter your sense of safety.
Years of chaos can make you forget what safety ever felt like.
Both deserve healing. Both deserve compassion.

PTSD says, “I remember that moment.”
Complex PTSD says, “I lived that moment every day.”
Different paths, same destination — peace.

One event can break you.
Years of chaos can reshape you.
Both need healing — just different kinds.

PTSD often comes from a single shock that your mind and body couldn’t process.
Complex PTSD grows slowly — from years of survival, where you had to stay small, alert, or disconnected just to make it through.

Both are real. Both are valid.
And both can heal with gentleness, safety, and time.

You don’t have to keep surviving the same story.
If you’re ready to start healing, let’s talk.

Happy Thanksgiving and a moment of gratitude to the land and its first peoples. Let’s walk gently and give thanks today.

One of my clients once said, “I keep choosing people who make me question my worth, but I don’t know why.”

That’s the thing about trauma — it teaches the body to feel “at home” in the familiar, even when the familiar hurts.

When you’ve grown up managing chaos or silence, uncertainty can feel normal. But healthy love isn’t confusion.

It’s calm. It’s respect. It’s safety.

If you’re ready to understand why you’ve been accepting less than you deserve — and to start healing those old patterns — reach out.

You can book a session at SpeakHope Counselling and begin learning what safe love truly feels like. 💛

🧠 BIPOC Mental Health Matters.

Tall poppy syndrome. Microaggressions. Generational trauma.

For many of us, anxiety and hypervigilance became our normal — not because we chose it, but because survival demanded it.

We’ve been told to “toughen up,” to “fit in,” to “be grateful.”

But strength doesn’t mean silence.
Healing starts when we stop normalizing stress and start checking in on what’s really going on underneath.

If you’re a Black, Indigenous, or Person of Colour navigating spaces that weren’t built with you in mind — your exhaustion is valid. Your emotions are not “too much.” Your healing matters.

Take a pause today.
Breathe.
Ask yourself: When was the last time I felt safe just being me?

Let’s talk about it.
Because our stories, our nervous systems, and our peace deserve attention — not just resilience.

You can lift all the weights in the world — but if you never lift your burdens, you’ll still feel heavy.

Muscles don’t grow without resistance.
Neither does healing.
Every session, every reflection, every tear —
that’s growth.
Today on World Mental Health Day,
remember: healing is strength in motion.

Not all legacies are written in stone or stored in archives.
Some are felt—quietly, deeply—through the way we love, speak, parent, rest, and show up.

Healing is a legacy.
When you do the work, you’re not just changing your story.
You’re giving the next generation permission to live differently.

📍One session, one breath, one boundary at a time.

If you’ve ever typed ‘Why am I like this?’ or ‘What’s wrong with me?’ into Google at 2AM… it might be time to try something different.

Summer is when most people check out — but that’s often when old patterns creep back in. If you’re tired of spiraling, second-guessing, or pretending you’re okay… I’ve got space for you.

📍Trauma-informed. Real talk. No judgment. Just growth.
Now accepting new clients through the summer in White Rock.

“He never hit me. But I felt every blow he took.”

Trauma isn’t always about what was done to us.
It’s about what was passed down to us—silently, in tension, in absence, in fear.

When dads don’t heal, they often hand down their pain through silence or survival mode.
And sons (and daughters) end up trying to decode who they are through a broken mirror.

Let’s change the reflection.

🧠 Therapy can’t rewrite the past—but it might be able to stop the transmission.

I got drunk this weekend—but not the way you think. No alcohol. Just presence. A men’s breakfast with my church brothers. Walking the seawall with a good friend. Laughing with my kids. Joking around with my wife. Sharing real moments and feeling grounded. That buzz? It’s not fake—it’s oxytocin, endorphins, and dopamine. You don’t need a drink to feel good. You need connection, purpose, and joy.

And if you’ve been thinking about starting that journey—being more present, using less, or not at all—and slipped up before, you can try again.

It’s never too late to live different and be less average.

To the fathers doing the inner work—your healing echoes through generations.
Happy Father’s Day to the men showing up, growing up, and breaking cycles. 💙
