GOLDEN RULE: Thoughts are just thoughts! I know for a lot of us it’s super common to experience less than desirable thoughts and self talk. When these unhelpful thoughts strike, it can definitely throw us off and put us into a less pleasant mood. It’s important to remember when these thoughts strike we have the power and control to manage the distress they bring. Here are a few things we can say to ourselves when we find these unhelpful thoughts creeping in.
How else do you tend to deal with unhelpful thoughts?

Did you know there are 7 types of rest you need to truly recharge? They are:
- Physical Rest: This includes activities like sleeping, napping, and resting your body after physical exertion.
- Mental Rest: Mental rest involves giving your mind a break from constant stimulation. This might include activities like meditation, mindfulness, or simply spending time in nature.
- Emotional Rest: Emotional rest involves taking care of your emotional well-being. This might include activities like journaling, talking to a friend, or practicing self-compassion.
Social Rest: Social rest involves taking a break from social interactions when you need some time alone to recharge.
- Sensory Rest: Sensory rest involves giving your senses a break from stimulation. This might involve turning off bright lights, reducing noise, or spending time in a quiet, peaceful environment.
- Creative Rest: Creative rest involves taking a break from creative activities and allowing your mind to rest and recharge.
- Spiritual Rest: Spiritual rest involves taking time to connect with your spiritual beliefs and practices, whatever they may be. This might involve activities like prayer, meditation, or spending time in nature.
Each of these plays a crucial role in your well-being!
So remember, take a break, Toronto!

We often get caught up in trying to understand our feelings, however this tends to have us stagnant as we think about what we’re feeling rather than actually feeling our emotions and feelings and properly processing them and allowing them to move through and out of our bodies. .kellyvincent does a tremendous job at explaining this! In the realm of psychotherapy it’s always beneficial to listen to what other mental health professionals have to say on topics and see if that resonates with you and if you can possibly further expand and add to it.

Vulnerability can be really scary for all of us. It’s quite common to have people be a little closed off and reserved in our relationships. Sometimes it helps to nudge those around us to create space for more fulfilling conversations. Use these questions as entry points for a deeper connection:

It’s important to remember that even if someone exhibits some of these traits it may not mean that they are a narcissist. As a psychotherapist, I can understand how these tendencies can make it so challenging to have a healthy and fulfilling relationship. I encourage anyone who believes someone to have narcissistic traits to try to speak to them about it and encourage them to self-reflect. Effective communication can be helpful during these conversations.

As a psychotherapist, I witness the profound impact of self-soothing techniques on mental well-being every day. Engaging the senses is a powerful tool in our toolkit for cultivating inner peace and resilience. From the gentle rustle of leaves to the comforting warmth of a cup of tea, each sensory experience has the potential to ground us in the present moment and alleviate stress.
In our fast-paced city of Toronto, it’s easy to overlook the simple yet transformative power of self-soothing. But as we prioritize our mental health, let’s remember to nurture ourselves through sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch. These practices are not just indulgences; they are essential acts of self-care and self-compassion.
So take a moment today to tune into your senses, to reconnect with yourself on a deeper level. Embrace the beauty of the world around you and allow it to replenish your spirit. Your mental well-being matters, and you deserve moments of peace and tranquility amidst life’s chaos.

What is burnout, and why does it matter? Burnout isn’t just feeling tired or stressed; it’s a state of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion caused by prolonged stress. In our fast-paced city of Toronto, the pressures of work, relationships, and daily life can sometimes push us to our limits. Burnout can sneak up on anyone, leaving us feeling depleted, overwhelmed, and disconnected from what once brought us joy.
Recognizing the signs of burnout is the first step toward reclaiming your well-being. From feeling chronically fatigued to experiencing cynicism and detachment, the effects of burnout can impact every aspect of our lives.
Whether you’re in the heart of downtown at Bay and Bloor or nestled in the suburbs of Markham or Mississauga, burnout can affect anyone and it’s important to take the right steps to better your mental health when this strikes.
