When kids are not ready yet, it can feel personal.

It’s not about rejection, it’s about safety.

Children often pull away when they’re overwhelmed or unsure how to put their feelings into words. Silence is their way of saying, “I don’t know how to talk about this yet.”

What they need most isn’t pressure — it’s presence.
Stay close. Stay calm. Stay open.

When we create safety through patience and understanding, kids learn that their voice matters — and eventually, they find their way back to connection.

On November 11th , we pause to honour those who served — and those who continue to serve — with courage, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment.

Remembrance Day invites us to reflect not only on history, but on the impact of service that still lives quietly in the hearts and minds of so many veterans, first responders, and families.

At Sea to Tree, we hold space for the stories behind the uniforms — the resilience, grief, love, and humanity that exist long after the battles end.

May we remember their service not just with silence, but with compassion and care for those still carrying the weight of it today.

🌿 Lest we forget.

“Trauma-informed” isn’t a buzzword — it’s a mindset.

At Sea to Tree, being trauma-informed means we see the whole person — not just their story or symptoms. It’s about creating safety, offering choice, and meeting every client with compassion and respect for what they’ve been through.

When care is trauma-informed, it recognizes that healing happens best in safe, trusting relationships — not through fixing, but through understanding.

🌿 Safety first. Compassion always.

Today, we honour the Indigenous veterans who served and sacrificed for this land — many without recognition for generations.

Their courage, resilience, and strength remind us that remembrance must include truth. It’s a time to hold space for both gratitude and reflection — to honour their service while also acknowledging the history that often left their stories untold.

At Sea to Tree, we respectfully acknowledge the T’Sou-ke Nation and Coast Salish territories where we live and work, and we stand in gratitude to those who have protected this land — past and present.

In the military and first responder world, vulnerability can feel like weakness. But sometimes, the strongest thing you’ll ever do is ask for help.

After two decades of service, deployments, and holding it all together, Rod found himself facing a new kind of battle — one that couldn’t be fought with training or tactics.

The transition to civilian life brought silence that was louder than the chaos, sleepless nights, and a weight that words couldn’t reach.

Therapy changed that.

Through psychotherapy, Rod discovered that trauma isn’t something you “get over.”

It’s something you learn to live with — without letting it define you. He learned that the same resilience that carried him through service could be used to heal, too.

Now, he shares this message with others on the front lines — military members, veterans, police, firefighters, paramedics, dispatchers, doctors, nurses, and social workers:

💬 “Therapy isn’t about forgetting what happened. It’s about learning to live with it without it controlling you. You’ve fought for everyone else — now it’s time to fight for yourself.”

Psychotherapy saved Rod’s life.

It reconnected him with family, purpose, and peace.
And it can do the same for you.

If you or someone you know is ready to start that journey — we’re here to help.

If November feels heavier, you’re not alone.

As the days grow shorter and sunlight fades, our energy, motivation, and mood can shift. Less daylight affects our sleep, our serotonin levels, and even how connected we feel to others. Add in the emotional weight of the season — memories, holidays, and fatigue — and it’s no wonder many people feel off balance.

Here are a few small ways to support yourself this month:

🌤 Get natural light first thing in the morning
💬 Reach out instead of withdrawing
🧠 Keep a gentle routine — structure helps regulate mood
💧 Nourish your body and rest when you can

It’s okay to slow down. You don’t need to “push through.”

This season asks us to rest, reflect, and reconnect with what truly matters.

💬 Support doesn’t have to be out of reach — quality counselling is available for just $25.

At Sea to Tree, we believe counselling should be accessible to everyone, not just those with extended benefits or extra income. That’s why we’re proud to offer Master's Degree Level Students for only $25.

👉 Here’s what that means for you:

Affordable support: A fraction of the typical counselling rate, so cost doesn’t stand in the way of care.

Compassionate care: Our student counsellors are warm, dedicated, and genuinely passionate about helping clients.

Fully supervised: Each student works under the close guidance of our senior clinical team, ensuring you get safe, ethical, and professional care.

Variety of support: Students can help with stress, anxiety, family struggles, school issues, relationships, parenting, self-esteem, and more.

Many clients tell us how surprised they are by the quality of support they receive — sometimes all it takes is a safe, non-judgmental space to start feeling lighter.

📍 Available in Sooke, Colwood, and online.
