📢 Discover the transformative power of healing trauma at the Breakthrough Center for Coaching and Psychotherapy! 🌟

Join us as we explore the wisdom of Dr. Maté, a true master of our times, who has guided countless individuals on their healing journeys. His insightful definition of trauma as a "wound" speaks to the profound impact it can have on our lives.

While trauma may create scars and limit our ability to respond to the world, our experience at the Breakthrough Center shows that healing can go beyond mere scarring. It has the potential to unleash strength, wisdom, compassion, and more, transforming survivors into adaptive, self-aware, and responsive beings.

Healing trauma can be a path to experiencing a full and wholesome life, turning the scars into "superpowers" that empower us to grow and thrive.

Please read and share this article if you or someone you know is seeking a path to healing and growth. 🙏🏽 Let's spread the message of hope and transformation!

Dr Gabor Maté is a renowned expert in addiction, childhood trauma and mind-body health. In this interview, we spoke about a wide variety of topics, ranging from how he believes that most mental health conditions originate from unresolved childhood trauma, to why he describes current Western culture...

If I could prescribe “anything”, and only one thing, to help in the healing process, that would be gratitude. Even and most implies in the darkest time we can find refuge in being aware of what we have... gratitude follows naturally from there.

An inspiring lesson in slowing down, looking where you’re going, and above all, being grateful.

Many patients are asking for support in the use of medical cannabis. The Canadian Cannabis Clinics has produced a very educational video that can help people understand and access this invaluable medicine without stigma and with proper support.

Canadian Cannabis Clinics (CCC) is building Canada’s foremost centre for cannabis use as medicine.

INSPIRATION for your healing journey!
The gratitude from our clients is the reason why we do this work at our Breakthrough Center and we hope will inspire you to seek your personal healing and growth!!

This letter is from a (long term) physically and emotionally abused person that has become free from the grip of that life and is building a very inspiring and emotionally sound new path.

"Dear Gui: .....
The thing about my therapy I found so good was you gave me the time and space to sort things out on my own. You gave me guidance even when I demanded direction. You gave me rope let me get just tangled enough that I could still untangle myself. Sometimes I needed to be told what to do, but even in those times, you didn't make it easy. You weren't trying to insert your strength into mine, you were helping me get strong. because then I would have been dependant on you. This is the way I want to parent. I want to guide, not direct. I want to lead from behind, not from the front. It seems like a much more rewarding way to parent.

Last night's dream analysis told me that my only obligation is to parent (###). (Ex-Partner) is not my responsibility. (Ex-Partner) has her own road to travel and it's not me who needs to show her the way. Intervention, no intervention, get her off drugs or not. Until she's a clear threat to me or my daughter I'm just going to apply gentle pressure and let her learn on her own too.

I'm processing my regret fantasies. I'm beginning to come to terms with the fact any mistakes I made I needed to make. Even though they were painful and I wish I did things differently I'm beginning to accept that I needed to do everything I did to get to where I am. I'm not perfect, but so much better from where I was.

So even though I stumbled a lot, I never fell so hard that I couldn't get back up. If I can survive a (terminal illness) and an abusive relationship, then what else really is there to be afraid of?

Stumbling isn't something I should regret but something I should cherish. Stumbles give us our strength. The harder we stumble the stronger we get. I will stumble again. The difference after therapy isn't regretting the next stumble, it's appreciating the strength I get from getting back up."

Thanks to all of you out there working in the trenches and front lines of healing!!

With inspiration and hope for a healthier future for all!

To understand mental and physical illness we MUST understand the science behind Adverse Childhood Events or ACE. Our health care system need to provide an avenue to prevent and treat illnesses considering the ACE score if we want to stop the health care crisis we are suffering today. If you have suffered adversity in childhood know that you are not alone and you can heal with proper care.

Childhood trauma isn’t something you just get over as you grow up. Pediatrician Nadine Burke Harris explains that the repeated stress of abuse, neglect and parents struggling with mental health or substance abuse issues has real, tangible effects on the development of the brain. This unfolds across…

Amazing material from one of the greatest teachers of our times!!
I feel blessed that I sit every day at work with lots of people focusing on how to turn suffering into growth and happiness.
It is so liberating focusing in giving and it has paid back to me many folds!!
I am proud of having been trained at (Tony) Robins-Madanes coaching school so I can add value to our clients everyday.
If you are suffering and feeling at the end of the rope know that there is hope and all is required from you is one step at a time! Reach out for support and let your life become worthy of the real YOU!!

In today's world physical distance or mobility challenges should not stop you from receiving support.
At the Breakthrough Center we have been providing effective distant psychotherapy and coaching for many years with excellent results.
Even though distan work is not suitable for all populations, it is suitable for a great range of needs and with the great advancement of the supportive technology we can make this available to those in need. We have served clients from 15 to 77 years old with similar positive results and we encourage anybody that could benefit from it to have the experience once to be able to dispel all misconceptions regard it.
This is a great article that shows that there is a lot of benefit to be gained in developing the use of this kind of delivery method for therapeutic support.

Using online and phone-based services to expand treatment delivery opens up access and eliminates stigma

Strong and honest case for publicly funded therapy!
If you or somebody you love are suffering from anxiety or depression (or other mental illnesses) read on the powerful evidence based info and take the leap of looking for support. I see lots of clients every year that have suffer for way to long before asking for help and then are so happy they reached out. When you work on your mind your mind will respond! And you don't need to do it alone.

Mental illness affects one in five Canadians and costs us nearly $50-billion a year. So why aren’t we treating it like any other health-care crisis? Erin Anderssen explores the case for publicly funded psychotherapy
