It’s normal to feel lost, anxious, or disconnected, and to wonder, “What’s wrong with me?”

Often, that question signals an underlying mental health challenge such as anxiety, depression, or stress. Recognizing the signs early can help:
- Persistent sadness or worry
- Difficulty concentrating or sleeping
- Withdrawing from friends or activities
- Feeling “off” but not sure why

If these feel familiar, try:
📝 Journaling your emotions to notice patterns
💬 Reaching out to a trusted person or therapist
💖 Practicing self-compassion instead of self-criticism

You don’t need to have it all figured out to start healing, you just need to take the first small, kind step toward yourself.

If you’ve ever asked yourself, “What’s wrong with me?” - you’re not alone. 💛

That question often shows up when we’re overwhelmed, sad for “no reason,” or feeling unlike ourselves. But here’s the truth: it’s not a sign that something is wrong with you, it’s a sign that something inside you is asking for care and understanding.

Instead of asking “What’s wrong with me?”, try gently shifting the question to: “What do I need right now?”

Maybe it’s rest, connection, or professional support. Whatever it is, your feelings are valid, and your needs matter.

“How often should I go to therapy?” is one of the most common questions people ask when starting their mental health journey, and the truth is, there’s no one-size-fits-all answer.

For some, weekly sessions help build momentum and create lasting change. Others may shift to biweekly or monthly check-ins as life feels more stable. In times of crisis or transition, more intensive support might be needed.

The key is to find a rhythm that feels supportive, sustainable, and flexible as your needs evolve. Take a look at our blog for some insights into what may be the best for you: https://www.ontariotherapists.com/post/how-often-should-you-go-to-therapy

Your therapy journey should move at your pace, guided by your goals, growth, and well-being.

Today, on November 11, we take time to honour and remember the sacrifices made by those who have served, and continue to serve, in times of conflict.

Remembrance Day is an opportunity to pause and reflect on the courage, resilience, and dedication of those who shaped our history, and a reminder of the importance of striving for peace in our communities and beyond.

We invite you to take a moment today in whatever way feels meaningful to you-whether it’s observing a moment of silence, attending a ceremony, or simply holding space for reflection.

Thank you for joining in this act of remembrance.

Book Review: One True Loves by Taylor Jenkins Reid

Imagine rebuilding your life after tragedy, only for your lost love to return years later. That’s the heart-wrenching reality Emma Blair faces when her husband, missing for years after a helicopter crash, is suddenly found alive just as she’s engaged to someone new.

Taylor Jenkins Reid beautifully captures the complexity of love, identity, and grief in this emotional page-turner. One True Loves asks the question: Can more than one person be your soulmate?

A moving, introspective read that will linger long after you finish the last page.

Last month we saw how to recognize feelings of being taken for granted. Now, lets see how you can reclaim your worth when feeling taken for granted!

If you’ve been feeling overlooked or unappreciated lately, there are meaningful ways to begin shifting that dynamic:

Reflect: Ask yourself: Have I clearly expressed my needs, or have unspoken expectations built up over time?
💬 Communicate: Try “I” statements like: “I feel unappreciated when my efforts go unnoticed.”
🛑 Set Boundaries: Saying “no” when needed helps others value your time and energy.
💖 Practice Self-Care: Celebrate your own accomplishments and spend time with people who appreciate you.
👥 Seek Support: If this pattern continues, therapy can provide clarity, tools, and healing space.

Remember: you have the right to relationships rooted in mutual respect and emotional safety.

Recognizing When You’re Being Taken for Granted

Feeling like your efforts go unnoticed? You’re not alone.

Being taken for granted can happen in relationships, friendships, families, or even at work, and it often leads to exhaustion, resentment, and emotional distance.

Here are some common signs you might be feeling this way:
💭 You find yourself thinking, “They only come to me when they need something.”
💭 Your help is expected but rarely acknowledged.
💭 You often say yes out of guilt or habit.
💭 You feel invisible or undervalued.

The first step toward change is recognition. When you name what’s happening, you begin to reclaim your sense of worth and boundaries. 💛

Everyone deserves to feel seen, appreciated, and valued, not just for what they do, but for who they are.

10/24/2025

Sometimes, taking care of yourself doesn’t need to be complicated, it’s the little things that make the biggest difference.

💭 Feeling bored? Go for a walk.
💧 Feeling sad? Take a shower.
📖 Feeling uninspired? Read a book.
📞 Feeling frustrated? Call a friend.
💦 Feeling tired? Drink some water.

Small steps, big impact.

About Spring

Thank you kindly for taking the time to read my biography. My name is Spring Berriman; I'm a Registered Psychotherapist, currently practicing in Toronto.

After a successful 15+ year career in the real-estate industry, I made the choice to pursue my true passion, that of helping others. The most personally rewarding aspect of any job I held during this time in real-estate - be that as office manager, executive assistant or operations manager - was that of supporting others in the workplace, thereby fostering strong working and interpersonal relationships, and helping my colleagues to realize their best selves. As a deeply compassionate therapist, I believe strongly in creating a safe space for mutual growth, wherein cohesion and alliance advance the therapeutic processes of healing and development. With avid curiosity and respect, we’ll explore the innermost workings of your mind, heart and spirit. I believe in taking a client-centered approach to my practice, acknowledging you as an individual and working as your pace dictates. Without preconceived agenda, I'll work alongside you holistically in seeking your truth. In addition to Individual Therapy, I also offer Couples Therapy and Group Therapy. I also offer Psychotherapy sessions via Doxy.me - much like Skype or Facetime, but secure - for those who are prevented from attending in person. My office is located at Main and Kingston Rd. in the Upper Beaches. I invite you to contact me in order to begin your journey. Psychotherapy is not presently funded by OHIP, however, extended health benefit plans may offer assistance, in Ontario psychotherapy session as also now tax deductible. Please check your benefits package or consult your tax professional for more details. Individual sessions are typically 50 minutes in length, while couples sessions are 75 minutes, payment is accepted via cash, E-transfer or credit card via Square. Kindly contact me at your earliest convenience to schedule a FREE 50 minute consultation at which we can determine if we would be a good fit in working together, and at this time the matter of rates, among many other things, may be discussed.
