Saying a baby‘s name is an act of love if you want to share your child’s name or you remember them our comments are a safe space for you to do so.

Share only if it feels right reading is support too.

In many communities, especially among Black women and racialized professionals, "strength" is worn as armor.
But what happens when that strength starts to erode our well-being?

We weren’t meant to survive under constant pressure.

Therapy and support are not signs of weakness. They're acts of resistance and restoration.

Let’s normalize asking for help.
Let’s normalize putting ourselves first.

🌀 Understanding & Managing Triggers: A Trauma-Informed Approach
Life doesn’t pause for healing — and neither do our stressors. For those navigating trauma, everyday moments can unexpectedly reawaken pain, anxiety, or a sense of disconnection. Triggers aren't always loud. Sometimes, they whisper through familiar places, voices, or even thoughts.

At Awakening Counselling and Consulting Services Inc., we honour your story and meet you where you are. Through a trauma-informed, collaborative approach, we help you:

✔️ Understand your personal stress cycle
✔️ Identify and manage emotional triggers
✔️ Reclaim control through grounding techniques
✔️ Build a life that centers safety, awareness, and resilience

🌿 Healing isn’t about forgetting what happened. It’s about empowering your nervous system to respond — not react — and learning how to live with presence, strength, and intention.

✨ You are not your trauma. You are your healing.

📍 Connect with us today to begin your trauma-informed journey.

📣 Burnout in the Black Community: More Than Just Exhaustion

Burnout isn’t just about being tired. In the Black community, it’s often the result of compounded racial trauma, systemic inequities, and the emotional labour of simply navigating everyday spaces.

From code-switching to microaggressions, to generational expectations and limited access to mental health support — burnout becomes a cycle rooted in survival, not rest.

💭 Have you been feeling emotionally depleted? Disconnected from joy? Struggling to function even when you've “rested”?

This may be trauma talking.

At Awakening Counselling and Consulting Services Inc., we understand the unique ways trauma and burnout intersect in our communities. Our culturally informed, anti-oppressive approach is designed to help you:
✅ Unpack intergenerational trauma
✅ Set boundaries without guilt
✅ Reclaim rest as resistance
✅ Reconnect with your sense of purpose

🧠 Healing is possible. Support is here.
Let us walk with you.

Burnout isn’t just exhaustion — it’s a wound we carry from being “strong” for too long.
In the Black community, burnout is real — and healing is necessary.
🖤 You don’t have to go through it alone.
✨ Therapy helps. Let’s start your healing journey together.

🌿 Burnout in the Black Community: A Silent Struggle 🌿
In the Black community, burnout often goes unspoken — masked as strength, resilience, or “just pushing through.”

But the constant weight of systemic racism, intergenerational trauma, caregiving responsibilities, code-switching, and being “the strong one” takes a toll — emotionally, mentally, and physically.

At Awakening Counselling and Consulting Services Inc., we see you.
We understand that burnout in our community is not just about stress — it’s about survival in spaces that weren’t built for us to thrive.

💬 Therapy offers more than just talk — it offers tools to unpack, heal, and reclaim your wellness.

🧠 Whether you're feeling drained, detached, or just not yourself — your healing is valid. Your rest is revolutionary.

Let us walk with you.
