A good night’s sleep is an essential foundation for a productive and successful day. Sleep is the building block upon which we can create healthy coping mechanisms for dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma and stress. But truly restful and energizing sleep can be an elusive thing.

If you work in the hospitality industry (in any position), please join Tacit Knowledge for Dear Brain: I NEED Sleep! This is a FREE Online Mental Wellness Workshop – being offered on Tuesday, February 10th, at 7:00pm. The session runs for 1 hour. Participants will learn ways to address common sleep disturbance issues and create an atmosphere for deep, healing slumber, so they can wake up refreshed and ready to face whatever their day may bring.

This Workshop will NOT be recorded – it is a live-only event.

This Mental Wellness session is being offered in partnership with the In The Weeds YEG Program – which is a program that is committed to nurturing mental wellness and restoring humanity in Edmonton’s hospitality community.

This Workshop is available to everyone who works in the hospitality industry, in the greater Edmonton and outlying areas. To register for this FREE session: please go to https://www.eventbrite.com/e/dear-brain-i-need-sleep-how-to-get-good-quality-sleep-tickets-1980221007339?aff=oddtdtcreator

So many of us try to process our feelings by "thinking" our way thru them. We try to understand them - or explain them away - or problem solve the situation that caused them. We use the cognitive part of our brain to cope with our feelings because this sometimes gives us a sense of control over the situation.

But truthfully, this jump to the thinking part of our brain just ends up with us avoiding the feelings and stuffing them into our emotional baggage box. And unfortunately, all of those feelings will resurface again, at another time - usually when we least expect it (often as an "over-reaction" to something else that is going on)!

In order to manage our emotions in a healthy way, we have to allow ourselves to "feel" the feelings. This means we have to connect to the emotions that have been created by embracing the discomfort and then releasing it (physically and emotionally). Processing our emotions means we are willing to recognize what we are feeling, and then allow those emotions the time and space to be experienced and then set free.

For more information about managing emotions in healthy ways, please feel free to reach out to our team at any time! We offer a wide variety of services (Counselling, Neurofeedback Training, Workshops, Support Groups, etc) that can help! www.tacitknows.com

Let's kick off this year with some terrific tools that are designed to help us all cope a little easier when we get dysregulated, emotionally.

Tough times are going to happen - there is no way to avoid that! And we are allowed to feel overwhelmed and out of control when they do. That's part of being human.

But how we navigate these triggering moments can sometimes create bigger problems! Knowing what to do (so that things don't get worse) reflects our level of resilience and determines the amount of negative impact that we will be stuck trying to deal with, for hours and sometimes even days, afterward.

These DBT strategies are simple and easy to learn. They were designed to help us manage intense emotions and to protect our interpersonal relationships, when we are feeling out of control. They can help bring a sense of calm back into even the toughest of situations.

Check your emotional toolbox, and see what maybe needs to be added. Let's all welcome 2026 as the year that we feel prepared to tackle whatever comes our way!

If you need more help, you are welcome to check out our blog or sign up for our FREE monthly Newsletter (at www.tacitknows.com) - receive more access to mental health tips/techniques and information about our regular Support Group Programs (which are available to everyone!)!

In a fast paced, hectic world it can often be difficult to know how to achieve the healthy balance required to feel good and be successful on a daily basis, no matter what stress we are facing.

If you are working in the hospitality industry (in any role), please feel free to join Tacit Knowledge and In The Weeds YEG for The 4 Daily Foundations for Healthy Balance – this is a FREE Online Mental Wellness Workshop – being offered on Monday, January 12th, at 7:00pm. The session runs for 1 hour.

This Workshop will NOT be recorded – it is a live-only event. The PPT will not be available to participants after the Workshops (for liability and proprietary reasons) – but participants are encouraged to take as many notes and screenshots as they wish.

This Mental Wellness session is being offered in partnership with the In The Weeds YEG Program – which is a program that is committed to nurturing mental wellness and restoring humanity in Edmonton’s hospitality community.

We know that the holiday season is not always a fun and joyful time - it can bring heartbreak and challenges for many of us. Please remember that you are NOT alone. There is help available. And we want you to reach out when you need it!

Although we will be closed for a few specific days over this holiday period, the therapists at Tacit are still able to assist you in connecting to other supports, as the need arises. You do NOT have to be a Tacit client to contact us over these next few weeks. We are here to help in any way that we can. And so are many other supports in our community (and in the surrounding greater Edmonton areas). We have listed just a few in this post - but we can provide you with many more, depending on the issues you are trying to manage.

Our counselling office will be open during much of the holiday season. If you need assistance, you can email us at counsellors@tacitknows.com - we also have a FREE list of local resources that are available to everyone, which can be found on our website at www.tacitknows.com (just scroll to the bottom of any of the tabs).

If we take a few minutes to recognize the emotions we are experiencing, we can learn a lot about the needs that we have that are not perhaps being met.

And when we can begin to meet these needs on a regular basis, we will find that life becomes a much more calm and peaceful journey!

Did you know that the majority of your natural melatonin (the hormone that helps you relax) is produced in your tummy - not in your brain? Being able to produce the right amount of melatonin - and being able to release this melatonin at the optimal times - are the two key factors that determine the quality of sleep that we get each night.

Synthetic melatonin (found in over-the-counter medications and supplements) is only half as effective as the body's own natural melatonin. And taking this synthetic version for too long can actually decrease the the natural amount that your body will make.

So, if you are having difficulties with your quality sleep patterns (if it takes you longer than 15 minutes to fall asleep; if you find yourself waking up throughout the night; or if you are waking up tired in the mornings, even after being asleep for 7-8 hours), then it might be time to try boosting your natural melatonin. And one of the easiest ways to do this is through the foods that you eat, during the day (or about 2 hours before you go to bed).

Checkout this post for the foods that are highest producers of natural melatonin! Pistachios and Pure Cherry Juice rank in the top two spots!

For more information about how to improve the quality of your sleep every night, feel free to reach out to Tacit at any time - this is one of our areas of expertise (for people of all ages!). We can also come to your place of employment to provide a Wellness Learning Session for your work team on this topic. You can reach us at counsellors@tacitknows.com

With the holidays fast-approaching, we could probably all benefit from a little reminder of some simple but effective strategies for managing our stress.

Take a look at each category - how many of these techniques are you incorporating into each and every day (not once a week/month!). If you can be intentional with your time and your energy - if you remember to prioritize your own needs in a healthy way - your brain/body will work with you (being your friend) as you tackle the stress that often pops up over the upcoming holidays weeks! And the feelings of being overwhelmed will not be able to take over!

We all know that the holiday season, as wonderful as it can be in many ways, can also bring feelings of stress and overwhelm to many of us. We want to help you find ways to relax and enjoy the holidays again!

Tacit Knowledges is pleased to be partnering with Beaumont FCSS, as we share strategies to help participants manage common issues that tend to get triggered throughout the holiday season (for example: the need to set healthy boundaries, lessen stress, and navigate challenging family dynamics, including the grief that can often be felt strongest during this time of the year).

This 2 week Support Program runs on Monday evenings - December 1st and 8th - from 6:30 to about 7:45pm.

Important information:
*This is a FREE Zoom Support Program. You will receive the Zoom link after you register.
*This Program is available to everyone - you do NOT have to be a Beaumont resident to participate.
*Participants are welcome to attend both or just one of the sessions, as they are able (you will get something helpful out of each evening).

To register, please contact Beaumont FCSS at 780-929-1006 or email fcss@beaumont.ab.ca

Self-help books and self-help courses are a terrific starting place for many people to look to for support and guidance when they want to make changes in their lives. These resources can provide information, tools, and even sometimes, motivation. And they can help a person tackle a wide variety of needs, on certain levels.

But on their own, self-help strategies are not usually enough of a tool to allow a person to really address the deeper issues or trauma that they have been carrying. A person may need the healing that comes from the connections made through safe relationships, therapy, or sometimes medical support.

For more information about how to know when you might need more than some self-help options - and for ideas about how to get the most out of your self-help choices - check out our blog at https://tacitknows.com/is-self-help-enough/
