Have ya heard of Intensives for therapy? It’s doing a chunk of work over 2-3 days instead of weekly or bi-weekly sessions for months. Intensives are customizable for your schedule, and to what you would like to work on and how, e.g EMDR for addiction, Parts work, Sensate Focus, etc. Would you like to combine your intensive work with your summer vacation to the West Coast of Vancouver Island? Our office is located in the beautiful Alberni Valley, surrounded by the Beaufort and Arrowsmith mountains and the waterways such as the Somass River, Sproat & Great Central Lake, Della Falls and so much more. For more information call 236-544-0464

DBTSkills. Dialectics. The truth about emotions :
Dialectics = always more than one way of looking at a situation.

Reflection on the "Truth" About Emotions:

Emotions are not meant to be understood in isolation; they exist as intersections, complementing and contrasting to create the fullness of human experience.

This chart illustrates that truth—how our feelings overlap to form something deeper and more meaningful.

Take bittersweetness, for example—the union of joy and sadness.

It reminds us that the most cherished moments in life are often tinged with a touch of sorrow, as if to say: this matters enough to hurt.

Joy and sadness do not negate each other; instead, they coexist to give depth to our experiences.

Anticipation, a mix of anxiety and excitement, embodies the thrill and uncertainty of the unknown. It reminds us that stepping forward often requires holding fear in one hand and hope in the other.

In grief, we find love and loss entwined.

Grief is not simply pain—it’s the evidence of how deeply we’ve cared.

To grieve is to acknowledge the value of what was, and to let that love live on in a different way.

Resilience emerges where peace meets uncertainty, teaching us that strength is not found in the absence of doubt but in the ability to find calm within it.

Each emotional pairing here reminds us that our feelings are not static or simple.

They are dynamic, layered, and interconnected—mirroring the complexity of life itself.

Embracing this truth allows us to see emotions not as challenges to overcome, but as guides to understanding ourselves and the world around us.
