Wishing you all a happy holiday and a Merry Christmas from the team here at Balance Psychological Services. ๐Ÿ’™

Although apparently not to do a trust fall. ๐Ÿ˜‚ย Thank you, Tabitha and Owain, for being part of this one.

At Balance Psychological Services, your privacy matters and what you share with your therapist stays confidential.

There are a few limited situations where safety or legal obligations require disclosure and your therapist will review this information with you at your first appointment. Your therapist will always prioritize transparency if those circumstances arise.

The Christmas season can feel heavy when you're grieving. Between the music, the lights, and the expectation of joy, it's natural to feel the weight of loss (whether it's a loved one, a relationship, a job, or a part of yourself).

But here's what matters: you don't have to do it all. You don't need perfection. What you need is permission to simplify, to feel, and to show up with love.

โœจ Simplify traditions. Choose one or two meaningful moments and let the rest go.

๐Ÿ’™ Acknowledge your grief. Share a memory, light a candle, or hang a special ornament. Sadness and joy can coexist.

๐Ÿค Allow yourself to feel. Your authenticity gives your children permission to express their own emotions.

๐Ÿ™ Ask for support. Lean on loved ones for help with meals, errands, or just a listening ear.

Creating Christmas magic while grieving isn't about doing everything right. It's about showing up with tenderness, connection, and love, even on the hard days.

Read the full blog post (link in comments) for more compassionate guidance on navigating the holidays while grieving.

The stress of the holidays combined with the dark, cold winter season can amplify communication struggles in relationships. When days are shorter and schedules are packed, it's easy for misunderstandings to grow and connection to fade.

Therapy offers a safe space to explore healthier ways of communicating with your partner. Whether you're navigating the โ€œFour Horsemen of conflictโ€ (see our blog post on Healing in Relationships for more info on that), learning to recognize bids for connection, or strengthening your active listening skills, couples counselling can help you reconnect and build a stronger foundation together.

Our Stony Plain office has several therapists ready to support you: Lorelei, Victoria, Karley, and Jennifer are here to help you work through communication challenges and find your balance this season.

Learn more about how therapy can help couples communicate better in this blog post, written by our fantastic Balance team member, Cari McIntosh!

Resilience isnโ€™t always loud or triumphant. Sometimes, itโ€™s quiet, messy, and deeply human.

From our latest blog post, written by the wonderful Chelsea Penman, here are a few gentle reminders:
โ€ข Resilience can look like asking for help
โ€ข Healing is rarely linear, and thatโ€™s okay
โ€ข Strength often grows through vulnerability, not avoidance
โ€ข Support, therapy, and connection help expand our capacity to carry what weโ€™ve been given
โ€ข Small moments of care (nature, rest, conversation) matter more than we realize

Resilience isnโ€™t about โ€œgetting overโ€ whatโ€™s happened, itโ€™s about learning how to live inside yourself again, with compassion and choice.

If this resonates, know that youโ€™re not alone and support is always available. ๐Ÿค

As the seasons shift and routines change, many of us feel the weight of what weโ€™ve been carrying a little more deeply. This time of year often brings reflection, fatigue, and a quiet invitation to slow down.

Our latest blog, Resilience: The Strength That Grows in the Dark, explores what resilience actually looks like - not the polished, โ€œpush throughโ€ version, but the honest, human kind that forms through grief, vulnerability, connection, and care.

A heartfelt thank you to our team member Chelsea for sharing her story with such openness, compassion, and courage. This piece is a powerful reminder that resilience isnโ€™t about being unaffected, itโ€™s about learning how to live, heal, and grow alongside what has changed us.

If youโ€™re navigating a heavy season, this read may feel like a soft place to land. ๐Ÿค

The holidays aren't just magical, they can be overwhelming, especially for kids.

Between the excitement, schedule changes, sensory overload, and high expectations, it's easy for stress to creep in. Thatโ€™s why we created a blog post sharing 8 tips from a play therapist for creating calm, setting realistic expectations, and prioritizing what really matters: presence over perfection.

With a little bit of intentionality, we can help our children navigate the season with more ease and connection.

Swipe through to learn how to support your child this holiday season (and save this post to come back to when things feel overwhelming). You can also read the full blog post on our website by searching for โ€œHow to Prevent Holiday Stress for your Childrenโ€.

What's one thing you're doing this year to keep the holidays calmer for your family? Let us know in the comments!

The holidays can feel heavy when you're grieving, whether it's a person, a relationship, or a part of yourself. You don't need perfection. You need permission to simplify, feel, and show up with love.

Creating Christmas magic while grieving is about showing up with tenderness and connection, even on hard days.
