Is it just a bad week, or is it SAD? 🧐

Seasonal Affective Disorder often shows up differently than “standard” depression. Keep an eye out for these specific winter-onset signs:

☁️ Feeling a “leaden” heaviness in your arms and legs.
☁️ Intense cravings for carbohydrates and starchy foods.
☁️ A desire to “hibernate” or withdraw from social plans.
☁️ Oversleeping but still feeling exhausted.

If these feel familiar, it’s okay to ask for help. Our clinicians at The Therapy Centre specialize in evidence-based strategies to help you find your light again. 🕯️

“My partner doesn’t ‘do’ Valentine’s Day.” Does this sound familiar? 💔

It’s a common friction point. When one person loves the tradition and the other sees it as “commercial,” it can lead to hurt feelings. Our latest blog, “Love, Reimagined,” explores how to bridge this gap through communication, compromise, and finding ways to show affection that truly resonate with both of you.

3 ways to reclaim your energy this winter: ⬇️

☀️ Chase the Light: Even on cloudy days, a 20-minute walk between 11 AM and 1 PM provides more natural light than any indoor bulb.

🧘 Move Gently: You don’t need an intense workout. Gentle yoga or a brisk walk increases endorphins and helps regulate sleep.

🗣️ Shift the Narrative: CBT-SAD helps you challenge those “I hate winter” thoughts and find small pockets of joy in the season.

Which one will you try today? Let us know in the comments! 👇

Virtual Therapy 💻🏡

Hi, my name is Marlene Almeida and I’m a clinician working virtually at The Therapy Center. Have you ever wondered if a virtual therapy really works? The research says yes. It’s just as effective as in-person therapy for issues like anxiety, depression, trauma, and more. I meet with clients from the comfort of their homes where they’re able to fit sessions into their real life. They’re often more at ease and it helps them stick to therapy. I personally love supporting individuals who are navigating big transitions like adjusting to school or work or new roles in life like parenting. I also support individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, or relationship challenges. Reach out if you need help.

It’s not “all in your head”—it’s in your biology. 🧠☀️❄️

When the days get shorter, your brain undergoes a “perfect storm” of changes:

1. Serotonin Drop: Less sunlight can cause a dip in this key “feel-good” chemical.
2. Melatonin Spike: Your body may overproduce melatonin, leaving you feeling sluggish and “heavy.”
3. Clock Reset: Your internal circadian rhythm gets desynced from the natural world.

Understanding the why is the first step toward the how. Check out our new blog post to see how Light Therapy and CBT can help reset your internal clock. 🕰️✨

Did you know that in Canada, the “Winter Blues” isn’t just a mood—it’s a reality for millions? 🇨🇦❄️
 
According to the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA): 🔹 2–5% of Canadians will experience Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) in their lifetime. 🔹 15% of us will experience the milder “winter blues.”
 
Living in a northern latitude means our brains have to work harder to maintain serotonin and melatonin levels when the sun goes away. If you feel like you’re stuck in “survival mode,” you aren’t alone—and you don’t have to just “tough it out.”

There’s no place like Home—especially for Healing. 🏠🌿

Did you know that many people find it easier to open up when they are in their own “natural habitat”? Being in your favourite chair, with your pet by your side or a warm cup of coffee in hand, can lower your nervous system’s “guard.”

This sense of safety often leads to more breakthroughs and deeper vulnerability. Virtual therapy meets you exactly where you are.

Comfort is just a click away. 🖱️💛
