Today is World Kindness Day, a reminder that even the smallest acts of care can ripple outward.

But here’s something we don’t always hear:

🌱 Kindness toward others is important — but so is kindness toward yourself.

Self-kindness might look like:

Letting yourself rest without guilt

Speaking to yourself with the same compassion you'd offer a friend

Saying no when your energy is low

Accepting that you're doing the best you can

And kindness toward others can be quiet and powerful:

A check-in message

A genuine compliment

A moment of patience

A warm smile

💬 Today, ask yourself:

“What’s one small way I can be kind — to myself, or someone else — right now?”

You never know who needs it… including you.

🕊️ Remembrance Day 🕊️

Today, we pause to honour the courage, sacrifice, and service of those who have fought for peace and freedom.

At Transforming Tides Counselling, we recognize that the impact of war and conflict extends beyond the battlefield — it reaches into families, generations, and the mental health of individuals and communities.

We hold space for:

Veterans and their loved ones navigating trauma and grief.

Those who carry generational stories of loss, resilience, and survival.

Everyone impacted by conflict, past and present.

As we wear the poppy and observe a moment of silence, may we also commit to building a more compassionate, peaceful world — one where healing is possible.

We remember. We reflect. We support.

❤️🖤

Sometimes specific therapies are needed to help you deal with trauma symptoms and memories. At Transforming Tides Counselling, both Dr Nicole Callan and Michelle Smith use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) to help clients break free from unhelpful thought patterns, manage overwhelming emotions, and move forward after trauma. 💬✨

🧠 Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Helps you recognize and reframe negative thinking patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress — empowering you to respond differently and build healthier habits.

💫 Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)

A specialized form of CBT designed to support trauma recovery. It helps you process painful memories, reduce guilt and self-blame, and create a more compassionate, balanced perspective on your experiences.

Whether you’re navigating anxiety, trauma, or the stress of everyday life, our team provides a safe, supportive space to help you understand your thoughts, regain control, and start feeling more like yourself again. 🌱

Every relationship has its waves—highs of connection, love, and laughter… and lows of conflict, distance, and silence. Disconnection from conflicts happens to most couples at one time or another. Hurt feelings, ... feeling weighted down with stress from arguing... having worries about how to solve things... This are experiences that many relationships go through.

💡 A few Quick Tips for Reconnection:

Speak to understand, not to win.

Schedule regular "us-time"—no phones allowed.

Repair after conflict, not just move on.

Celebrate the small things—every smile counts.

Your relationship deserves a second wind—not just survival, but growth and healing.
