January 2 is World Introvert Day. Today we raise awareness and counter the stigma that introversion is negative or shameful.

Introversion is often confused with social anxiety. Living in an extroverted world potentially increases risks for anxiety and burnout.

Introversion is not a flaw — it’s a strength. Take pride in your introversion. Protect your energy. And remember: therapy is a tool for growth, not a sign of weakness.

Need support? We invite you to reach out to us by emailing info@archwaycounselling.ca or calling 902-893-3991 to book an in-person or virtual session.

It is with the warmest of thoughts that the Archway team would like to share the passing of one of its first therapists, Paula Weaver-Schrock; she and her husband, Brian, pioneered the nonprofit organization in 1994. Paula’s humour, energy, and passion for life and people will continue to echo in each of our hearts.

Share Memories of Paula & Support the Weaver-Schrock Family

For many, Christmas can hold both joy and strain at the same time. It can be a season of connection, meaning, and warmth, and also a season that brings grief, loneliness, exhaustion, or old wounds to the surface. Both experiences can be true.

If this season feels overwhelming, you don’t have to carry it alone. Support is available, and reaching out is a meaningful step toward care. Email info@archwaycounselling.ca or call (902)893-3991
