Christmas and the holiday season can be difficult.

For many, the holiday season brings connection and celebration.
For others, it can bring sadness, fatigue, or a sense of overwhelm. If this time of year feels heavier than expected, please know that your experience is valid.

You may notice changes in mood, energy, sleep, or motivation. These can be part of the seasonal stress many people face—and support is available.

At our practice, we encourage you to:

✔️ Acknowledge your feelings without judgment
✔️ Set realistic expectations for yourself
✔️ Create small moments of rest and grounding
✔️ Reach out if you’re struggling

Whether you’re coping with grief, loneliness, depression, or simply feeling “off,” you don’t have to manage it by yourself. Talking with a mental health professional can offer clarity, relief, and a safe place to process what you’re carrying.

If you need support this season, we’re here to help.

💙 Wishing you care, compassion, and gentleness this holiday season.

Have you ever caught yourself thinking, “I shouldn’t feel this way”?

Many of us learn to push away emotions like sadness, anger, or fear — believing they mean something’s wrong with us. But the truth is, every emotion has a purpose. Each feeling offers insight into what we need, what matters to us, and where healing might begin.

At Above the Storm, we believe that emotional health starts with acceptance — allowing space for all your feelings, without judgment. When we listen to what our emotions are trying to tell us, we open the door to deeper understanding, compassion, and growth.
Remember: You don’t have to fix your feelings — just start by noticing them.

You don’t have to wear the mask all the time.

So many of us move through life pretending we’re fine — smiling, saying “I’m good,” while carrying invisible weights on our own. But healing begins when we allow ourselves to be seen — not the perfect version we show the world, but the real, imperfect, human one underneath.

When you drop the mask and share your struggles, you give others permission to do the same. You open space for connection, compassion, and support — the very things that help lighten the load.

At Above the Storm Counselling, we believe vulnerability isn’t weakness — it’s courage. You don’t have to carry everything alone. Sometimes the first step toward healing is simply saying, “I’m not okay right now.”

What is Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)?

Seasonal Affective Disorder is a form of depression that typically begins in the fall and continues through the winter months. As daylight hours shorten, our brains can produce less serotonin and more melatonin — affecting mood, energy, sleep, and overall well-being.

Common symptoms include:
🌧️ Low energy or fatigue
😞 Persistent sadness or low mood
🛌 Changes in sleep (too much or too little)
🍽️ Appetite changes or weight gain
🚪Loss of interest in activities or social withdrawal

SAD is more than just “winter blues” — it’s a real mental health condition that deserves care and support.

At Above the Storm Counselling, we’re here to help you manage symptoms and reconnect with light, purpose, and joy during the darker months.

You’re not alone — and brighter days are ahead. 🌤️
