✨ Therapy Thoughts Tuesday ✨

Your nervous system doesn’t automatically know the difference between:
“I feel safe.”
and
“I am safe.”

Until you teach it how.

That tightness in your chest, the sudden urge to pull away, the racing thoughts your body might not be reacting to right now at all. It might be reacting to an old wound.

Trauma wires the nervous system to detect danger where there isn’t any (because once, there was).

Healing isn’t just about calming down, it's about retraining your system to recognize when you’re safe, so your body stops living in yesterday’s alarm.

Safe doesn’t always feel familiar at first… but it can become your new baseline. 💛

🧠 Therapy Thoughts Tuesday: Let’s Talk About Pain (ugh, I know 😅)

Pain doesn’t always mean something’s wrong; sometimes it just means your body’s trying to get your attention. Like, “Hey… remember that thing we never dealt with?” 👀

We tend to treat pain like the bad guy: fix it, fight it, numb it, avoid at all costs. But what if pain is actually just the world’s most persistent messenger? 📬
It’s not here to ruin your day, it’s here to tell you something.

The real work? Learning how to sit with it, listen to it, and maybe even thank it (okay, maybe not right away 😅).

Let’s practice holding space for pain instead of pushing it away. 💛

🌿 Therapy Thoughts Tuesday 🌿

If being still makes you squirm, your nervous system might think love = being needed.

Somewhere along the way, “rest” got confused with “useless.” So now, silence feels suspicious — like you should be doing something.

💡 Try this: Next time you catch yourself planning chores during “relaxation,” whisper —

“I’m safe, even when I’m not needed.”

Stillness isn’t lazy. It’s nervous system rehab. 🧘‍♀️✨

🌧️ Rest is part of the work.
Don’t forget to rest in whatever way you need today ... body, mind, or soul. The rain’s a good reminder that even the earth pauses to recharge. ☔💛

✨ Therapy Thoughts Tuesday ✨

This week’s fill in the blank word is RESILIENCE 🧡

We talk a lot about building resilience in therapy because it’s the foundation that allows us to put trust back in ourselves. When we strengthen our resilience, our sense of safety no longer depends on external outcomes; it lives within us. How cool is that? 🙌

From a therapeutic lens, resilience isn’t about bouncing back perfectly. It’s about expanding your capacity to stay present, grounded, and compassionate even when things feel uncertain. Each time you show up for yourself, especially when it’s hard, you’re re-teaching your nervous system that you can handle discomfort safely.

🧠 Therapy Tip: Try a quick resilience reset.
When something feels overwhelming, pause and take a slow breath.
Ask yourself: “What part of me needs support right now?”
Then choose one small, kind action like grounding through your senses, moving your body, or offering yourself reassurance to remind your system that safety can be found inside, not just around you.

🧡 On this National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we pause to honour the children who never came home, the survivors of residential schools, and the families and communities forever impacted.

This day is more than reflection—it is a call to action. Reconciliation asks each of us to recognize the lasting effects of colonization, to listen deeply to Indigenous voices, and to take part in building meaningful change.

At FIVE3 Therapy, we know healing is never one-size-fits-all. Culture, community, and story matter. Mental health care must hold space for Indigenous knowledge and traditions, while also challenging the systems that have caused—and too often continue to cause—harm.

We acknowledge that experiences like anxiety, depression, or hypervigilance are not always signs of “dysfunction,” but often understandable responses to racism, poverty, displacement, and intergenerational trauma. These truths must be witnessed and respected, not minimized.

We are committed to ongoing learning, unlearning, and practicing in ways that do not reinforce harm, but instead nurture genuine healing.

🧡 Every Child Matters.
