In Canada, imposter syndrome is a common phenomenon that occurs in many high-achieving individuals.

If you experience imposter syndrome, you may feel like a fraud or like you don’t truly deserve your success.

But imposter syndrome also goes beyond this self-doubt.

It can show up as perfectionism, overworking, fear of failure, people-pleasing, and difficulty accepting praise or rest.

Scroll through these slides to learn more about what imposter syndrome looks like, where it comes from, and how therapy can help.

You don’t have to keep pushing through on your own. At Vaughan Counselling and Psychotherapy, we support individuals in understanding the root of their imposter feelings, building self-compassion, and learning to trust their worth.

Setting boundaries may make you feel guilty.

You might worry that others will see you as selfish, rude, or unreliable.

But the truth is that boundaries are necessary for a balanced life.

Without boundaries, you run the risk of burnout, resentment, and your needs falling into the background.

With them, you protect your time, energy, and emotional well-being.

Here’s what necessary boundaries might look like.

Therapy can also help you unlearn guilt, understand your needs, and set boundaries that support your well-being.

Are you currently feeling overwhelmed? Your first instinct might be to shut down, pretend that everything is fine, or push yourself harder.

But sometimes, your body needs a pause. The most powerful thing you can do is the opposite of what these impulsive urges are telling you.

This is known as the opposite action, which is a Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) technique that helps you respond to emotional pain in healthy ways.

Here’s what that might look like in practice.

And while these may seem like small actions, they are not. They are brave actions that interrupt old patterns that no longer serve you.

Therapy can support you in learning tools like this, especially if you tend to avoid, shut down, or struggle with boundaries when emotions get big.

Do you find it difficult to open up in therapy?

Perhaps you might be holding back from going to therapy because...

-You feel that it means something is “wrong” with you.
-You’ve tried therapy before and didn’t click with your therapist
-You’re high-functioning, so you wonder if you even need support

But the truth is that therapy is not about fixing you. You're not broken.

Therapy is a space to support you in understanding yourself more deeply and rewriting patterns that are no longer serving you, among many other things.

And healing isn't always the big breakthroughs. Sometimes, it can look like:

• Revisiting things you thought you healed from.
• Leaving a session feeling heavier, not lighter.
• Saying, “Actually… that didn’t sit right with me” to your therapist when they get something wrong.

You deserve support that honours your healing journey and the pace you are moving at.

Does your nervous system feel stuck? Perhaps your jaw feels tight, your mind won't stop racing, or you keep scrolling your feed without really paying attention to what is in front of you.

If you are feeling this way, we want to invite you to:
Pause.
Breathe.
Return.

Before you begin to breathe, know that it's okay to feel nervous from time to time. Your body is trying to protect you in its way.

Try this simple breathing rhythm.

And remember, you can always come back to your breath when you are feeling nervous again.

Mindfulness therapy can help you reduce anxiety and stress, improve emotional regulation, and build greater self-awareness.

Ready to find more calm and clarity in your daily life?

Call us at 647-267-9853 to book a session or learn more about how mindfulness therapy can support your healing journey.

Your relationship can be thought of as a garden.

There is full potential for it to grow and flourish. But this requires regular care.

Sometimes, small issues may arise, such as pesky weeds or dry patches. When left unchecked, these issues can occupy the entire space.

Couples therapy is one support that resembles that of a skilled gardener who helps to spot the challenges early on, resolve what's holding you back, and nurture the parts that make your connection healthy.

Investing time in your relationship now can help it grow into something beautiful that lasts.

Ready to cultivate a healthier, happier partnership? Reach out to Vaughan Counselling and Psychotherapy. We’re here to help you both thrive.

Call 905-264-6565 to get started.

A core facet of dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) is that opposites can co-exist. When we discover the balance within opposites, this is often where healing begins.

You can be doing your best and still want to grow.
You can feel joy and carry pain.
You can accept yourself and work toward change.

Learning how to hold space for two opposites at once may feel uncomfortable at first, but it can become easier over time.

If you’re ready to explore DBT, we’re here for you. We have a team of therapists who offer support through this therapeutic modality.

Book a session with Vaughan Counselling and Psychotherapy today at 905-264-6565.
