Weekend Wellness 🌿

A simple breathing exercise can help calm the nervous system and support a sense of ease.

Try inhaling slowly through your nose for 4, then exhaling gently through your mouth for 6.
Longer exhales can help signal safety to the body and reduce stress.

Small, intentional pauses can make a difference.

Trauma triggers can show up in everyday moments — through sounds, smells, places, or even internal sensations — often catching us off guard.

Learning to recognize your unique triggers is an important first step toward healing. With awareness, grounding techniques, and self-compassion, it’s possible to move from reacting automatically to responding with care.

In our latest blog, we explore what trauma triggers are, how they show up, and practical tools that can help build resilience in daily life. 🧠🌱

🧠 “Why do therapists always ask about your childhood?”

It’s a common question — and it’s not about blaming parents or digging up the past for no reason.

Our early experiences help shape how we cope, connect, and protect ourselves today. Understanding those roots can bring clarity, compassion, and choice to patterns that may no longer serve us. 🌱

Therapy isn’t about reliving your childhood — it’s about understanding yourself more fully.

Have you heard of EMDR therapy but aren’t quite sure what it is or how it works? 👀🧠

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based therapy that helps people process and heal from traumatic or distressing experiences. It’s commonly used to support concerns such as trauma, PTSD, anxiety, grief, and emotional distress — and it doesn’t require reliving your experiences in detail.

In our latest blog, we break down:
✨ What EMDR therapy is
✨ How it works
✨ Who it can help
✨ Answers to common questions

If you’re curious about whether EMDR might be right for you, this is a great place to start 🌱

🌿 Conversation Starter 🌿

Self-compassion can look different for everyone.
For some, it’s slowing down.
For others, it’s changing how they speak to themselves during hard moments.

What does self-compassion mean to you?
We invite you to share in the comments — your reflection may resonate with someone else.

🌿 Weekend Wellness Tip 🌿

This weekend, consider a low-pressure reset.

Pick one small thing that brings a sense of ease—resting, unplugging, or enjoying something comforting—and allow that to be enough.

You don’t need to “do more” to deserve rest. Sometimes slowing down is exactly what your nervous system needs.

A new year often comes with a lot of pressure — to reset, to improve, to be different.

But growth doesn’t have to be rushed.
Healing doesn’t follow a calendar.
And you don’t need to reinvent yourself to be worthy of care.

As this new year begins, we invite you to move forward at your own pace — with curiosity, compassion, and support when you need it.

From all of us at Trillium Counselling, we’re wishing you a year grounded in care, steadiness, and self-trust ✨

If the idea of a whole new year feels overwhelming, try this:

👉 Shrink the timeline.

Instead of thinking about the year ahead, bring your focus to today — or even just the next hour.

You don’t need to have a plan.
You don’t need clarity yet.
You don’t need to know what comes next.

Right now, it’s enough to take care of what’s in front of you.
