Healing isn’t about erasing what you felt.
You can miss them.
You can love them.
And you can still choose what’s best for you.
Grief and growth can exist at the same time — and that’s okay.

Functioning doesn’t always mean thriving.

A lot of high-capacity, responsible people delay getting support because they’re “managing.” But managing and sustainable aren’t the same thing.

If you’ve been quietly carrying more than you let on, this is your reminder that you don’t have to wait for a breaking point.

A soft reminder for anyone feeling overwhelmed or behind:

You don’t need to have everything figured out.
You don’t need to move at anyone else’s pace.
And you don’t have to earn your rest.

Growth is rarely loud — sometimes it’s simply choosing to be kinder to yourself.

If you’re ready for support, you don’t have to do it alone.

We are deeply saddened by the tragic events that occurred in Tumbler Ridge, BC. Our thoughts are with the families, friends, and first responders impacted by this unimaginable loss.

In moments like these, it’s important to come together, hold space for one another, and seek support when needed. Grief, fear, and confusion are natural responses to tragedy—no one should face them alone.

If you or someone you know is struggling, please reach out for support. You are not alone. 🤍

Anxiety is often misunderstood, which can make people feel isolated or dismissed. The more we replace myths with accurate information, the more space we create for compassion — for ourselves and others.

If any of these resonated with you, support is available. You don’t have to navigate anxiety alone.

Very excited for my colleague and friend Cameron Ferreira-Grunbaum with Iron Tree Counselling for his accomplishment. Mindfulness has been coming up in my practice a lot recently- why? Because it is so important for our brain health, immunity, relationships, and overall well-being.
Check him out as a wonderful teacher for guided meditation.

For more information on how Mindfulness can support you and to learn about the amazing research that supports Mindfulness in daily living check out my blog at https://www.tynebuchyrcc.com/post/calm-by-design-how-mindfulness-rewires-the-brain

I am officially a Teacher/Therapist on Insight Timer. I have been meditating for the last ten years and it has become a staple part of my mental health routine for stability and growth. I enjoy meditating and facilitating meditations in my counselling sessions with clients as well. Now with the support of Insight Timer I can reach and support many others in their journey to mental and emotional equanimity! Feel free to search "Cam Grunbaum" in the Insight Timer app to check out my first meditation:) Thanks!

Burnout isn’t weakness — it’s a natural response to long-term stress. Small, intentional shifts can begin restoring your energy and emotional balance. If this resonates, support is always available. 💜

Did you know, fatigue is normal after an EMDR session?

Because the taxation on your nervous system and the amount of information your brain is processing, clients can feel tired or fatigued for up to 48 hours after a session, which is completely normal. Clients can also experience increased dreaming after sessions because EMDR is generative, meaning processing continues even after the session ends. We process information in our dreaming or REM sleep.

For dreams, you can make a note about it for another session or simply affirm to yourself that you do not need to analyze or understand it, put it in container or treat it like a movie.

So after EMDR if you are experiencing fatigue, take some pointers for our therapy dog, Berkley, and practice self care and self compassion. Allow for extra rest, be mindful of your physical needs (eat nourishing and comforting foods, drink extra water, if possible abstain from substances that alter cognition), allow for extra space to feel all the emotions, implement constructive coping skills like container or safe space and if anything feels off or too "sticky" connect with your EMDR therapist right away

This is an exciting week for us here at the office. Our new office Roomba came in! It is so cute. We need to pick a name for it of course. What do you think we should name it? My vote is Rumi

It's time for the question of the week. What is EMDR and how does it work?

Eye-Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR) is a specialized type of trauma therapy that uses Bilateral Stimulus (BLS) to help clients reprocess stuck, or traumatic, memories and update their cognitive belief systems.

How it works is by using alternating left and right movements, the BLS, your therapist will take you through a series of steps and direct you through a reprocessing session. This includes different phases in the EMDR protocol. Your therapist may use different types of BLS depending on individual factors- most commonly used are eye movements, tapping, "buzzies" and light bars.

EMDR is a specialized therapy that is very powerful and that should not be done alone, but with the guidance of a trained and licensed professional.

If you want to submit a question of the week, you can submit directly to me at tynebuchy@hotmail.com; please write "question of the week" in the email headline.

If you would like to read more about EMDR, you can visit our blog https://www.tynebuchyrcc.com/post/emdr-therapy-explained-how-it-works

If rest doesn’t feel restorative, you’re not alone — and you’re not doing anything wrong.
For many people, the body needs safety and support before it can truly slow down.

A great opportunity for those who are living with chronic illness and struggle with affordability. The chance to work with a Masters Level Clinical Counsellor who specializes in chronic illness and recovery, Amy brings wonderful compassion, insight and skill to her work. Please share with anyone who you feel could benefit. 🙏 Core Connections Counselling
Tyne Buchy Registered Counsellor

I have a new offering for those living with Complex Chronic Illness!

I am a Certified Canadian Counsellor in Vernon (meaning most benefits packages will cover me and I offer direct billing) and I want to offer an opportunity to the chronic illness community.

If you suffer from ME/CFS, Fibromyalgia, EDS, Lyme, SALD, Long COVID, or other related complex chronic conditions, this may be for you!

I have noticed in my over 10 years as a counsellor that financial costs are always a struggle to accessing quality services. And today's inflation and economic situation is making this worse, particularly for people with disabilities.

I would like to offer small group counselling services so that the cost to access counselling can be significantly discounted (more than 50% discount).

Small group counselling can be an incredible, transformational experience. In my experience of facilitating counselling groups in the past I have seen the significant and powerful benefits they can offer people.

Build community, garner support, access resources, explore relevant topics specific to your needs, and feel like you are not alone in your healing journey!

If you have any questions, feel free to email me at amy@coreconnectionscounselling.com or phone me at 249-222-0301.
