Have you ever felt waves of sadness, anxiety, or anger around the anniversary of a painful event?

This emotional response—known as the Anniversary Effect—is a natural part of how we remember and process trauma. Whether it's a loss, a tragedy, or a life-changing event, these feelings are not only valid, they’re human.

Healing often begins with awareness.
You don’t have to walk through this alone.

Are you feeling anxious weeks or months before the date?

Have you started coping in ways that harm your health, relationships, or work?
If this sounds like you—or someone you love—it may be time to talk to someone who can help.

Christian therapy offers a safe place to process grief and find hope again.
Reach out today. Healing is possible.

We all have moments when life feels overwhelming — when it seems easier to give up than to keep going. Remember, exhaustion doesn’t mean failure. It’s okay to pause, to breathe, and to take care of yourself.

At By Peaceful Waters, we believe that rest is a vital part of healing and growth. Sometimes, the most courageous thing you can do is slow down.

If you’re feeling worn out or emotionally drained, we are here to help you find balance, strength and peace — one step at a time.

"Abusers tend to be master manipulators, able to evade suspicion by being overly charming and helpful in public spaces, to hide the heartbreaking truth of what goes on in private." – Wendy Kittlitz

Abuse is not just physical. It can also be mental, emotional, sexual, or even spiritual.

As therapists, we take a trauma-informed, attachment-based approach to therapy—creating a safe and supportive space where survivors can begin to heal, rebuild trust and reclaim their sense of self.

In couples therapy, recognizing the signs of abuse is crucial. Sometimes what may appear as “communication issues” or “conflict patterns” can actually be signs of control, manipulation or coercion. True relational healing cannot happen when one partner feels unsafe or silenced.

That’s why it’s essential for therapists to:

-Notice imbalances of power and patterns of fear or intimidation.
-Create opportunities for private check-ins with each partner when needed.
-Avoid interventions that could unintentionally reinforce the abuser’s control.
-Prioritize safety and validation over reconciliation when abuse is suspected.

If you or someone you know is experiencing abuse, please know that you are not alone, and support is available.

Safety comes first. Healing can follow. You deserve to be heard and to feel safe.

This time of year images of darkness and fear can intrude on our neighbourhoods. But as believers, we hold onto the truth of scripture.

No matter how dark things may seem — in our minds, emotions or circumstances — God sees clearly.

He is not afraid of the dark. In His presence, fear loses its power, and even the darkest night becomes light.

If you're struggling with fear, anxiety or hidden pain this season, Christian therapy offers a safe space to walk toward healing — in the light of God’s love.

You're not alone. There's hope beyond the shadows. Please reach out.

How often do we say:
“I’ll ask for help tomorrow.”
“I’ll stop doing that - tomorrow.”
“We’ll work on our marriage tomorrow.”
“We’ll face this issue - tomorrow.”
But tomorrow is uncertain.
Healing starts when you say “yes” — today.
Growth and healing begin the moment we trust Him to step forward now and take the first - or next - step in our process.
Whether you’re battling anxiety, navigating a life transition or feeling stuck in your faith, you don’t have to face it alone.
Don’t wait for “tomorrow” to become “never.”
Take the first step today.
We’re here to walk with you.

The same God who created the universe is the One who offers help, hope, and healing.

If you're facing anxiety, grief, or emotional pain, take comfort: God's name is a strong refuge. He created us—mind, body, and spirit—and designed us for wholeness.

As faith-based therapists, we have the privilege of integrating the wisdom of brain science with the truth of Scripture. This only deepens our trust in our Creator and affirms His design for health, healing, and restoration.

You don’t have to walk this road alone. Reach out—we’re here to journey with you.
