Check out this month's Pick from Connecte Montreal Psychology clinical psychologist Dr K. Danielle Penney, a fantastic resource for parents of adolescents! 🫶

"For this month’s pick, I’d like to share clinical psychologist Dr. Jenny Hwang’s YouTube channel, Project Parent Coaching and Consultation.

Dr. Hwang offers reflections and practical guidance on the common challenges of parenting teens. As she puts it, her goal is to help parents “move from chaos and disconnection into clarity, connection, and confidence.” One video I especially appreciated, The Unspoken Shift at Adolescence, discusses the major developmental changes that occur during adolescence and why tried and trusted parenting strategies may stop working.

Dr. Hwang explores how parents can adjust how they show up for their teens in ways that prioritize connection over correction. I am quick to share her work with clients navigating adolescence, having found her content personally relevant as I navigate these years, too!"

Parenting changes the moment your child becomes a teenager — but most parents don’t realize how much. What used to work — reasoning, reminders, even calm exp...

What is "emotional labor," and why is it probably not what your boyfriend accuses you of making him do when you want him to go to Ikea with you? Psychotherapist Ash Compton and journalist Rachel Monroe are here to tell the tale of how the term soc...

Our January blog from Connecte Montreal Psychology therapist and PhD Candidate Camille Zolopa explains the basics of motivational interviewing, a client-centred, empathetic approach to emotional support that allows a person to explore their own ambivalence, and ultimately discover their own solutions 🌱

When it comes to lending a supportive ear, whether to a close friend, loved one, acquaintance or someone we just met, what we do to help that may come most naturally to us may not always be the most helpful, and might even be counter-productive. In this insightful blog Connecte therapist Camille Zol...

Great pick this month from Connecte Montreal Psychology clinical psychologist Dr. Tobey Mandel! Tobey's Pick is an episode from child therapist Jess VanderWier's awesome podcast, Robot Unicorn:

"We're often trying to find the balance between supporting children in their growth, and wanting to respect their limits and not push beyond what feels supportive. Parents are often trying to walk this thin line, and feel somewhat lost as to which variables to consider. Child therapist Jess VanderWier, who has created the community Nurtured First , helps to explore the hopes and concerns that parents carry in navigating this subject. Her podcast episode entitled "Forcing Kids To Do Hard Things: Raising Resilient Kids Who Can Tolerate Frustration" from her podcast Robot Unicorn helps parents explore this subject with thoughtfulness and guidance. It's worth checking out!"

Thanks, Tobey! 🙏

This week, we are revisiting one of our first episodes. Jess and Scott dive into the complex topic of pushing kids to do hard things. They explore the fine l...

December's Monthly Pick from Connecte Montreal Psychology is here!

Connecte clinical psychologist Dr. Lisa Linardatos invites us to listen to Exploring Grief in the Context of Body Trust, a podcast episode sharing remarkable conversation that offers fresh perspectives on the nature of grief as it relates to issues of body acceptance and ED recovery:

"I’m excited to share this podcast episode that has helped me to guide clients through the grief process as they work on body acceptance and eating disorder recovery.

In this podcast episode, hosts and therapists Dana, Hilary, and Sirius wade into the murky waters of grief, and what grief has to do with body acceptance and eating disorder recovery.

They discuss how in eating disorder recovery, clients are faced with potentially having to grieve the loss of community, the loss of feeling safer in their bodies, and the loss of attaining perceived acceptance and approval through the thin ideal. Through poignant stories of their own grief experiences, the hosts discuss grief as an emotion we’re often taught to avoid despite it being a common human experience that connects us to each other and our humanity. They also explain the whys and hows of the emotional processing of grief, and how to “ride the wave” vs. resist.

Enjoy!

Check out the latest blog from our archives! Connecte Montreal Psychology's clinical psychologist Dr. Alissa Rubinfeld offers an examination of ambivalence, from both a therapist's perspective and the client's experience, that looks at the many ways feelings of ambivalence can play out in therapy (and in life!) ☯

Ambivalence can make us feel torn between opposing thoughts or feelings. In the context of therapy, this is SO normal, but the experience can be preoccupying and exhausting!

October's Monthly pick from Connecte is here! Read on as Connecte Montreal Psychology clinical psychologist Dr Annélie S. Anestin introduces us to PASS Action, an innovative government resource for helping people getting back on their feet after a challenging time in their lives 🌱💚

Reprendre sa vie en main -L’adversité est une réalité de la vie qui se présente sous différentes formes : enjeux de santé mentale, maladies physiques, situation de crise, précarité financière, perte d’emploi et j’en passe! À titre de psychologues, nous sommes appelés à accompagner les clients dans un processus de rétablissement et j’oserai même dire de « redécouverte de soi ». Au-delà des approches et interventions thérapeutiques, les clients se retrouvent parfois à la croisée des chemins et nécessitent un soutien additionnel pour les accompagner dans leurs démarches afin de rebâtir leur quotidien et promouvoir leur qualité de vie.

À cet effet, le Programme d’aide et d’accompagnement social « PAAS Action » est une ressource gouvernementale innovatrice et indispensable. Ce programme s’inscrit dans les services offerts par le ministère de l’Emploi et de la Solidarité Sociale (MESS). Ce programme vise à renouer les individus éloignés du marché de travail. Il vise à promouvoir l’autonomie, briser l’isolement social en participant à des ateliers pratiques et le développement de compétences. Qui plus est, la participation est renouvelable annuellement et ce pour une durée maximale de 4 ans!
