ANXIETY, DEPRESSION, PERSONALITY DISORDERS

You may be going through a major life transition (divorce, transitioning into adulthood, retirement, job changes) or have a general feeling of:

• Isolation
• Restlessness
• Sadness
• Lethargy
• Panic
• Wanting to escape

Or you may experience:

• Sleeping less
• Sleeping more
• Suicidal ideation
• Non-Suicidal Self Harm (cutting, burning, choking)
• Always on edge
• Little to no motivation
• Childhood traumas that are coming up now

Additionally, you may have:

• A diagnosis of a personality disorder and are unsure how to mange it

DISORDERED
EATING

If you have an unhealthy relationship with food or your body and find yourself:

• Restricting
• Binge/Compulsive Eating
• Night Eating Syndrome
• Over-Exercising
• Obsessively body- checking
• Self-sabotaging

Working on these issues and what underlying needs they are trying to fill, can be the route.

RELATIONSHIP
HELP

"When we couple, we inherit the other persons past. Partners need to be trained to how best to deal with you - how the other person works and how to work them in the best possible way. Nobody comes pretrained." Stan Tatkin

Whether you are in a relationship, or want to be one, learning the following can help:

• Losing strategies in a relationship
• Your attachment style and how it impacts others
• Healthy boundaries
• About grandiosity, entitlement, withdrawal or shameful stances in a relationship

Working on these issues is not only about insight and learning either – actually taking steps and be willing to lean into your growth edge is the effective way to get from where you are now to where you want to be.

THERAPISTS

"Only the wounded physician heals…and then only to the extent he has healed himself."
- Carl Jung

Are you a therapist who needs extra support?

It’s absolutely imperative for healers to get support to avoid burn-out, notice and work through blind-spots and triggers, to be and feel most effective with clients.

You may:

• Feel like an imposter
• Feel unconfident
• Feel burnt out
• Be so overwhelmed with your personal life it’s affecting your work

Trauma

Trauma is not in the event but in how your system responds to the event. Trauma can impact how you approach life. It is common to have these common effects after going through a traumatic incident, experiencing chronic trauma, or having childhood trauma: fear, distrust, shame, anger, isolation, and/or with coping behaviours like eating, drinking, non-suicidal self injury. We have experienced clinicians who specialize in trauma and work with many populations, including First Nations (through First Nations Health Authority) and those who experience car accidents (through ICBC). We use: Somatic Experiencing, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Trauma Informed Stabilization Treatment (TIST), Dynamic Attachment Re-patterning experience (DARe) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).
