Happy holidays from all the therapists at Aspen Psychology Group. We are grateful for the trust you place in us and the opportunity to support you and your family.

12/11/2025

If the holidays don’t feel like “the most wonderful time of the year” for you, you’re not alone.

Whether you’re dealing with grief, conflict, or loneliness, small, intentional choices can help you get through this season with a bit more steadiness and care.

Here are some ideas from Aspen Psychology Group in Calgary:

🌲 Create your own version of “happy holidays”
Not “happy all the time,” but:
• Moments of genuine comfort
• Honest connections
• Choices that honour your limits

🤝 Find connection in small ways
• Text one safe person and be real: “This time of year is hard for me. Can we talk soon?”
• Join a community event, class, or volunteer shift in Calgary
• Attend an online support group for grief, separation, or mental health

🧷 Ground yourself daily
• Go for a short walk in the winter daylight
• Stretch or move your body gently
• Try grounding:
– 5 things you can see
– 4 things you can feel
– 3 things you can hear
– 2 things you can smell
– 1 thing you can taste

Reach out for support
You don’t have to manage heavy emotions alone. Therapy can help you:
• Process grief and loss
• Navigate complicated family dynamics
• Cope with anxiety and loneliness during the holidays

If you’re in Calgary and this season feels overwhelming, Aspen Psychology Group offers compassionate, evidence-based support for individuals, couples, and families.

You’re allowed to make this holiday season gentler, quieter, and more aligned with what you truly need.

The holidays in Calgary can be full of lights and celebration… but not for everyone.

If you’re grieving, feeling alone, or dreading tense family gatherings, this season might feel heavy instead of happy. That doesn’t mean there’s something wrong with you—it means you’re human.

Here are a few gentle ways to care for yourself this year:

✨ Give yourself permission to feel
You don’t have to be cheerful because it’s December. Sadness, anger, numbness, and relief are all valid.

✨ Change or pause traditions
If old routines are painful, it’s okay to do things differently:
• Light a candle for someone you’ve lost
• Make a new “holiday for one” ritual (walks, movies, books, journaling)
• Host or join a low-pressure “friends-mas” or potluck

✨ Set boundaries that protect you
You’re allowed to:
• Limit how long you stay at gatherings
• Say “I’m not comfortable talking about that”
• Skip events that feel unsafe or too draining

✨ Plan for hard days
Identify the dates or events that might be toughest and ask:
• Who can I text or call if I’m overwhelmed?
• Where can I take a break (a short walk, another room, your car)?
• What helps me ground myself (breathing, music, journaling)?

You don’t have to love the holidays to get through them with care and intention.

If this season feels especially hard, psychologists at Aspen Psychology Group in Calgary are here to support you through grief, loneliness, and family stress.

🧠 Save this post as a reminder for the harder days.

School can be exciting — and stressful. Kids need tools to manage big feelings, academic pressure, and changing expectations. Here are 5 resilience-building strategies, inspired by the work of Dr. Arielle Schwartz and Dr. Tina Payne Bryson 👇

1️⃣ Open Communication
Create a safe space: listen first, validate second, solve last.

2️⃣ Balanced Expectations
Shift the focus from grades to growth. Celebrate effort, curiosity, and persistence.

3️⃣ Predictable Routines
Kids thrive on structure. Routines help regulate the nervous system and make transitions easier.

4️⃣ Model Healthy Coping
Kids learn through co-regulation. Let them see you breathe, pause, name emotions, and reset.

5️⃣ Advocacy at School
Partner with teachers, learning support teams, and counsellors. Support doesn’t stop at home.

✨ Resilience is not about avoiding difficulty — it’s about knowing you are supported as you move through it.

For support with child anxiety, emotional regulation, or school stress, our team at Aspen Psychology Group is here to help. More resources are available through our bio link.

Did you know resilience—not perfection—is one of the strongest predictors of long-term wellbeing for kids?

At Aspen Psychology Group in Calgary, we support families navigating school stress, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm. One of the most powerful tools parents can nurture at home is resilience—the ability to cope, recover, and grow through challenges.

Here are 3 evidence-based ways to support your child’s resilience today:

1️⃣ Open, Attuned Communication
When kids feel safe sharing their worries, their stress decreases and their coping skills grow.
Try saying:
✨ “I can see this is really bothering you—tell me more.”
✨ “I’m here. We’ll figure this out together.”

2️⃣ Focus on Effort, Not Perfection
Celebrate curiosity, persistence, problem-solving, and trying again.
Mistakes = learning.
Effort = confidence.

3️⃣ Create Predictable Routines
Consistent rhythms help regulate the nervous system.
✔ predictable after-school structure
✔ bedtime routines
✔ screen-free decompression time

Want more support? Our psychologists and therapists in Calgary specialize in building resilience, emotional regulation, and confidence in school-aged children.

🌱 Resilience grows through connection, not pressure.

Want a stronger bond with your partner—without overhauling your whole life?

Here are 5 Gottman-based actions you can try this week:

Ask mini Love Map questions
“What’s stressing you today?” “What made you laugh this week?”

Turn toward bids
Notice when your partner wants connection—and respond, even briefly.

Share one appreciation daily
Be specific: “Thanks for handling bedtime tonight—I felt supported.”

Soft startup in conflict
“I feel ____ about ____. Could we try ____?”

Create one tiny ritual
A nightly check-in, a weekly walk, morning coffee together.

These small habits protect connection, rebuild trust, and bring back warmth and laughter.

🌿If you want guidance or feel stuck in old patterns, Gottman-based couples counselling at Aspen Psychology Group in Calgary can help you learn practical tools that really work.

What makes love actually last?

Research from Drs. John & Julie Gottman shows that long-term, happy couples aren’t “lucky”—they practice a few key habits over and over.

The 3 essentials:
❤️ Friendship & Intimacy — staying curious, showing fondness, turning toward each other daily
⚡ Conflict Resolution — gentle startups, repair attempts, and learning to calm down before things blow up
🌱 Shared Meaning — rituals, shared goals, and a sense of “we’re building something together”

Small moments matter more than grand gestures. When couples invest in friendship, learn healthy ways to disagree, and create shared meaning, love becomes resilient.

If your relationship is feeling disconnected or stuck, Gottman-based couples counselling can help rebuild trust, friendship, and communication with evidence-based tools—not guesswork.

🌿 Aspen Psychology Group offers couples counselling in Calgary using Gottman Method strategies and structured relationship conversations.
