Why hearing DON’T CRY is terribly unhelpful and dismissive…. We’ve all been there haven’t we? I know I sure have!!! You’re talking to someone about something real — something that actually matters to you — and your voice starts to crack. The tears show up, uninvited but oh-so-determined. And then, boom. They say it: “Don’t cry.” Wait, what?? Cue the […]
READ MOREPicture this: You’ve got the job. The relationship. The cozy home. The things you once dreamed about having. And yet… something feels off. You should be happy, right? (Ugh, there’s that should again.) But instead of basking in joy, you feel restless. Maybe even a little empty. Almost like happiness is something you should be feeling, but it keeps slipping […]
READ MORELet’s talk about something that doesn’t get enough airtime: the dread of seeing your therapist at the grocery store. Dum, dum, dummmmmmmm… If you live in a small town like Georgetown, ON, and you’ve thought about starting therapy, you’ve probably had this thought at least once: “What if I run into my therapist at Starbucks or WORSE, Shoppers Drugmart? Do […]
READ MORESo, it has recently come to my attention that a lot of you don’t actually know much about me. Who I am, where I practice, and—wait for it—the fact that I am actually located in Georgetown, Ontario. Even more shocking? Many of you don’t know that I work remotely! That’s right, I could be in my comfy socks, sipping tea, […]
READ MORELet me paint a little picture for you: it’s Monday morning, you’ve just rolled out of bed, and you’re already “shoulding” all over yourself. “I should get up earlier.” “I should work out before work.” “I should feel more grateful that I have a job.” Sound familiar? If it does, welcome to the club. We all do it. We wake […]
READ MOREHello lovely readers, Can you believe we’re already approaching the end of the year? It feels like we just blinked, and suddenly the holiday decorations are creeping into stores (too soon, right?). But with the end of the year fast approaching, there’s something important I want to talk about—your therapy benefits. Yes, I know, I know, benefits aren’t exactly the […]
READ MOREHello lovely readers, Let’s talk about something we’ve all done more times than we can count: saying “I’m fine” when we’re absolutely, 100% not fine. Sound familiar? Someone asks, “How are you?” and, without missing a beat, you reply, “Oh, I’m fine!” with a smile that could win an Oscar. Inside, though, you’re drowning in stress, frustration, or maybe even […]
READ MORELet’s have a little heart-to-heart, shall we? Why is it so dang hard for us, as women, to put ourselves first? I mean, seriously, it’s like there’s this invisible force field that zaps us with guilt the moment we even think about doing something for ourselves. You want to take a nap instead of folding laundry? Zap! Thinking about saying […]
READ MOREHello, lovely readers, Let’s talk about that all-too-familiar feeling of being stuck in your head. You know, when you’re replaying the same thoughts over and over like a broken record, judging yourself harshly, or endlessly rehashing something from the past that you just can’t seem to let go of. It’s like living in a never-ending soap opera, except you’re both […]
READ MOREHello lovely readers, Have you ever felt OVERWHELMED by the thought of making a big change in your life? It’s like standing at the bottom of a mountain and thinking, “How on earth am I going to climb that?” The good news is, you don’t have to conquer it all at once. In fact, the most effective way to tackle […]
