The cost of therapy in Canada ranges widely depending on a few different factors. You might have full or partial coverage through private or workplace insurance, and some Canadians have the option of low-cost, free, or government funded options.
When was the last time you took a break? If you can’t remember, that could be having a serious impact on your mental health and day to day life. Contrary to what the media might tell you, doing nothing is very good (and necessary) for your mental health.
Opening up to a stranger can be difficult, especially if it’s about a sensitive subject. While it does get easier over time, it’s important to remember that your therapist is there to support you. They will often ask the opening question and guide you through your session with gentle questions and reminders. That being said, as the weeks pass sometimes it can be hard to find topics to discuss. Instead of ending your therapy sessions, this is a great time to dig a little deeper.
Here are a few way to do just that:
As counselors, our main goal is to help you manage excess stress, anxiety, and different emotional concerns that are interfering with your quality of life. If you are feeling on edge, angry, hopeless, or simply not like yourself, you probably need some extra support.
Gaslighting is a form of emotional abuse where the bully or abusers misleads the target to make them question their judgment and reality. Gaslighters will try to manipulate, lie, and undermine your perception of reality, in order to break down your confidence and trust in self.
Whether you are starting a new phase of life, overcoming a breakup, grieving a loss or looking for more peace of mind, finding the right counsellor is the first step towards better mental health.
Our mental health is just as important as our physical health and requires just as much care and attention. Grind culture can sometimes work us to the bone, or those who are passionate about their careers may not realize they need to take a breath until they literally break. Don’t wait for burn-out to set in before you ask for a day off of work. Our brains work just as hard as our bodies and deserve a break as well.
Somatic therapy is a newer type of empirically-based therapy that works with the body to release stress, tension, and anxiety that resides in the body from common mental health issues. Based on the philosophy that emotions are stored in the body, Somatic therapy aims to release negative emotions by identifying them and working through them using various techniques.
At some point or another, we will all lose something we care about. For some, those emotions are more difficult to let go of, however, when grief becomes a part of your day-to-day life, you may find yourself harboring resentment, or carrying anger about a loss that you just can’t get over.
