Summer’s lessons aren’t always loud and bright- sometimes they are steady, quiet, and the type of growth that doesn’t fade with your tan.

Maybe this summer your lessons are:
-letting yourself rest
-trusting and honouring your body more
-reaching out for support
-accepting your needs are valid

If you have been waiting for the “right time” to start therapy, maybe this is your reminder that there is no “perfect time” to start. If you are looking for support you can reach out to our team. We would love to support you wherever you are at in your journey ✨

You can book a complimentary consultation call with someone on our team and get started today:

Grief can feel heavy, and especially when the loss is sudden, unexpected or tragic, you may feel unprepared to know how to support someone who is grieving. It may feel overwhelming as you don’t know what to say or worry about doing the wrong thing. What matters most in times like these, isn’t saying the perfect thing, but showing up at all.

We created this post - and a longer blog post, as our city is grieving, and you may be grieving yourself, or know someone who is.

Whether someone you love is grieving, or you want to prepare yourself for when you will be supporting someone going through grief - these tips are for you.

Save or share with someone who may need this. You may even send it to someone and ask “are any of these helpful for you right now?” Or “are there other ways I can support you as you are grieving?”

If you’d like to share in the comments: what’s one thing that you wish more people understood about grief?

Have you heard of viral “Let Them” theory?? When I first heard it, I had a lot of questions about how I could apply it to my own life. As I did a deeper dive into her work I saw how valuable it can be to be an ACTIVE participant in your relational choices rather than allowing other people’s actions to determine your mood, habits, relationships and your peace!

My biggest takeaway from her work:

When you stop trying to control others you are left with:
More energy for what matters
Clearer boundaries
More peace

We would love to know: have you heard of the Let Them theory? How have you been applying it in your life?! ✨

Do you ever feel torn between what your family or culture expects from you and what you really want? Sandy Zhang, one of our registered clinical counsellors shares her insights into this feeling as an Asian family therapist on our blog! She speaks about her own experiences with this tension of loyalty and family expectations and how you might navigate it yourself if you are encountering similar challenges.

"...if you’re striving to become an emotionally mature individual, there absolutely needs to be balance between connection and separation so that being together does not mean you need to suffocate or lose your individuality, and being apart does not mean all ties are lost."
