Something not often discussed is how to grieve the road not taken. Today's blog addresses just that. Enjoy!

Grief isn’t just reserved for the people we’ve lost or the heartbreaks we’ve endured. Sometimes, it creeps in quietly when we least expect it—when we’re reminiscing about the path we didn’t take. A different job, a city we never moved to, a love we didn’t pursue. These moments can stir...

Unlike physical abuse, emotional abuse is harder to detect and can make the victim question if anything abusive is happening at all. Today's blog explores how to spot the signs and what to do about it.

Emotional abuse doesn’t always leave visible scars. It often masquerades as concern, sarcasm, or even love. But over time, it chips away at a person’s sense of self-worth and autonomy. Unlike physical abuse, emotional abuse is harder to detect and can make the victim question if anything abusive...

Have you ever reacted to your partner in a way that surprised even you—snapping over something small, shutting down during conflict, or clinging tightly when you sense emotional distance? These intense responses might not be coming from your adult self at all. More often than we realize, it’s our inner child who shows up in intimate relationships. Today's blog explores this concept.

When life delivers pain, whether it’s heartbreak, loss, or unwanted change, our first instinct is often to fight reality, replay what-ifs, or wish things were different. Yet, psychological research and evidence-based therapies show that fighting reality can intensify our suffering, while accepting it can lead to real transformation.

Vacation anxiety getting to you? Today's blog explores what it is and what to do when it strikes.

Vacations are supposed to be relaxing—but for many people, they bring unexpected stress, anxiety, or even dread. If the thought of traveling—or being “off” from work—makes you feel tense, you're not alone. As therapists, we regularly see clients who feel ashamed or confused about their vac...

Today's blog explores tools for taming your inner critic with compassion-focused therapy. Click below to learn more.

Our inner critic is that judgemental, demeaning internal voice that makes us question our skills, decisions, and self-worth. It can sound something like “You always mess up,” “Why can’t you do better?” or “You’ll never be good enough” - leading to shame, self-doubt, and decreased con...

Saying "no" can be difficult, but sometimes it's good for your mental health. Read today's blog to find out why.

For many people, saying “no” feels uncomfortable—even wrong. Whether it’s due to fear of disappointing others, guilt, or a desire to be liked, we often say “yes” when we really mean “no.” Over time, this can lead to burnout, resentment, and a loss of connection. Self care, mental hea...

Today's blog explores the role of identity in the therapeutic space. Enjoy!

Identity is the lens through which we view ourselves and the world. It includes our race, gender, sexuality, culture, religion, and social roles. When our identity is affirmed, we feel seen, valued, and empowered. When it’s invalidated or marginalized, it can lead to emotional distress, confusion,...
