Most people think a “regulated nervous system” means staying calm and avoiding stress… but that’s not regulation, that’s suppression.

Real regulation is movement, not perfection. It’s learning to:
• notice activation and move through it
• return to safety when stress hits
• access support when things get hard
• rest before burnout happens
• grow your capacity to “be with” discomfort

Regulation isn’t about never getting overwhelmed, it’s about knowing how to find your way back.

That’s nervous system resilience!

You deserve to use the care that’s available to you 🤍

Many insurance plans include counselling coverage that resets at year-end.

If you still have sessions left, this is a gentle reminder to take care of you.

When we think of depression, we often imagine sadness but clinically, it affects three domains: body, mood, and cognition. This means your energy, emotional tone, and thinking patterns are all compromised at once.

The result? Reduced motivation, slowed processing, and a loss of drive for things that once felt easy.

Recognizing this helps reduce self-blame and highlights why gentle structure, support, and treatment are so effective in recovery 🌱

Daylight savings can feel like a minor shift, but it impacts our internal rhythm more than we realize.

Changes in light exposure can disrupt sleep, mood, energy, and overall regulation. Especially for those already navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, or seasonal mood changes.

The transition usually settles within a week or two, but gentle structure and intentional routines can make it easier on your mind and body.

If you notice a dip in your mood or functioning during this time of year, support is available. You don’t have to navigate the seasonal shift alone 🤍

When things feel like they’re all falling apart, it’s easy for our minds to go into all-or-nothing mode. But rarely is everything going wrong, even in the hardest moments, small pieces of good still exist.

Reframing your thoughts doesn’t mean ignoring what’s painful. It means widening your view to include the parts that are still steady, kind, or safe.

It’s okay if things aren’t perfect right now.

You can hold both… What’s hard, and what’s still okay 💙

Depression can be hard to recognize as it doesn’t always present as sadness.

Recognizing these subtle signs can help individuals seek support earlier, before symptoms become overwhelming.

Awareness is the first step toward help and healing 🤍

Therapy isn’t one size fits all and how we meet can shape how supported you feel!

Whether we connect in person in Vancouver or virtually anywhere in BC, the goal is the same: helping you feel safe, seen, and supported.

There’s no wrong choice. Let’s find what feels supportive for you today 🤍

Online spaces have sparked important conversations about mental health, but also confusion.

Self-diagnosing can lead to misplaced labels or missed understanding of what’s really happening underneath.

A therapist can help unpack the why behind what you’re noticing 🌀
