Kevin Lowe RTC - Light of Hope Counselling

01/23/2026

New Year’s resolutions often assume something needs fixing.
That if we just try harder, plan better, or correct ourselves enough, we’ll finally become who we’re meant to be.

But change doesn’t usually work that way.

We aren’t problems to solve, we’re people being formed over time.

What are we trying to resolve, really?
And why do we assume the past has to be erased before we’re allowed to move forward?

In counselling, I often see people carrying the quiet belief that they need to “deal with everything” before they’re allowed to grow. As though understanding must come before movement.

But formation doesn’t wait for perfection.
And healing isn’t always about digging backward, it’s often about learning to see our story through a different lens.

The past matters. It shapes us.
But it doesn’t disqualify us from what’s ahead.

Sometimes growth isn’t about correcting what went wrong, but about walking forward with humility, truth, and trust, allowing change to unfold rather than forcing it.

If this year feels less about fixing and more about becoming, that’s not avoidance.
That’s often where the deepest work happens.

New year stuff always feels loud.

Big promises. Big pressure. Big “this year will be different.”
That’s usually where people lose themselves.

I put a free sheet on my website that’s intentionally not like that.

It’s simple. Slow. Grounded.

No 10-step plan. No forced positivity. Just a few questions that actually matter:

What deserves your attention this year
What “healthier” would realistically look like
Where your life needs care right now

And one small next step that doesn’t require white-knuckling it
There’s even space to acknowledge effort, not just outcomes.

That part matters more than people think.

If you want to start the year with clarity instead of pressure, it’s there.

Free. Print it. Sit with it. Don’t rush it.

Sometimes the most meaningful reset isn’t doing more. It’s outlining what matters, and letting meaning come from that.

 "Lord, thank you for the person that is embarking on this journey. May they find the only true peace which is only found in Christ Jesus.

Today we take a moment to remember those who went before us. Many who lost their lives so we can taste freedom. Living selflessly for their country.

Lest we forget.

Introducing a new program for men.

Freedom & Integrity Program (8 Weeks)

For the man who’s finally at the end of excuses.

Rock bottom doesn’t end you. It wakes you.
And waking up is the beginning of freedom.

If you’re tired of fighting this battle in silence…
If the guilt, the distancing, and the hidden habits are wearing you down…
If you know you are meant to live with greater purpose and integrity…

Then this is the moment to reach for help.

This is for the man who:

Wants to break from the same cycle
Recognizes the gap between who he is and who he wants to be
Feels himself drifting from the life God intended

We don’t change until we reach a point where change is necessary:

Not because someone else asks us to
Not because the emotion of the moment pushes us
Not because we wish tomorrow will be different

We change when the weight of staying the same becomes too heavy
When we finally acknowledge:
I cannot continue like this

That is where we begin

What we focus on in these 8 weeks:
We remove the avoidance and denial
We become honest about what is truly driving the struggle
We look at consequences before they become crises
We rebuild integrity and self-respect from the inside out
We rediscover identity in Christ rather than in shame

This is not about tearing you down
It is about understanding what has been holding you beneath the surface
so you can rise with clarity and strength

This is accountability
This is honesty
This is the beginning of transformation

- 1:1 support rooted in compassion, faith, and professionalism
- Christ-centered truth and grace
- Confidential

When you’re done drowning, rise.

If this resonates, contact me directly.
We will begin with an initial consultation to ensure this is the right time and fit.

120$/60 minute session.
Most insurances cover, please confirm prior to booking that your policy covers RTCs.
This is available online, in person (Lake Cowichan or Duncan BC), and telephone.

Start the New Year with Clarity

Wouldn’t it be nice to begin the year with more than just a resolution- but a renewed story?

Not one driven by emotion or impulse, but by intention, direction, and hope.

Now is the perfect time to use any remaining insurance benefits before the year ends.

Start differently this year. Start with direction. Watch how things begin to change.

Not every season of stillness means God has stopped working. Sometimes, He’s just letting your soul catch up to the healing He already started.”

10/08/2025

Good evening,

This is for those who might feel a bit off this time of year. I’ve sat with enough people in dark days to know that seasonal changes can sneak in and dim your world.

Thankfully, there are ways you can push back right now:

Step into the light, open your curtains wide the moment you wake, or step outside for 5–10 minutes. Even grey skies count.

Get moving: Start your day with some kind of movement, a walk, a light run, or even just a stretch. It gets your blood flowing and wakes up your brain by releasing chemicals like dopamine and endorphins, which help lift your mood, boost motivation, and make it easier to feel alert and focused through the day.

Connect: Struggles often grow in silence and isolation. When we pull away, the heaviness can take deeper root. Reach out in any way you can: text someone, say “I’m having a rough day,” or let a friend know you want to talk. Breaking that silence, even with one hello, is a first step toward connection.

Reorient your space, face your chair toward windows, declutter one corner, light a candle. Subtle shifts in your scenery can shift your mind.

Consider supplementing vitamin D - if recommended by your general practitioner.

If these feel like too little, or you think more support is needed, it doesn’t have to stay this way. Humans were not made to be alone.

Anxiety doesn’t always look like panic attacks. Sometimes, it’s lying in bed with your mind racing through worst-case scenarios. It’s the tight chest, the self-doubt, the overwhelming sense that something is wrong, but you can’t name what. It’s walking around with a smile on your face while quietly fighting through an inner storm.

I see you.

If you’ve ever felt like you were falling apart on the inside while holding it together for everyone else then this message is for you.

Anxiety is rarely just about the moment you feel overwhelmed. For many people I work with, it’s tied to feeling torn, torn between who they are and who they think they should be, between what they believe and what they’re actually living out. It's that quiet voice that says: “You're not enough,” or “If they really knew you, they'd leave.”

Sometimes, anxiety shows up after years of pushing down pain. Other times, it’s connected to hidden shame, regret, or questions about identity and purpose. Many people I meet are wrestling with guilt or feeling spiritually distant. Some feel stuck in cycles of behavior they promised themselves they’d stop. Others feel alone in their beliefs, unsure if God hears them anymore.

You don’t need to have the right words. You don’t need to be perfectly put together. You just need to be honest about what’s going on.

This is a place where it’s okay to say:

“I’m exhausted from pretending I’m okay.”

“I feel disconnected from God.”

“I can’t stop thinking, overthinking, replaying.”

“I don’t know who I am anymore.”

Whatever you bring into the room, there’s space for it.

The people I sit with are courageous. They’ve often carried heavy things for a long time. Some have never had someone really listen. Others have been deeply wounded by family, friends, or past relationships and are unsure who they can trust.

But what I’ve seen again and again, is this:

When someone feels safe enough to tell the truth, healing begins.

You’re Not Alone

Whether your anxiety is loud and obvious or quiet and corrosive, there is hope. There is healing. And there is a place for your story.

If you’re ready to begin, I’m here to walk with you.
