A fear of abandonment doesn’t always mean a fear of being
left. It might be the fear that our emotional needs won’t be met
or that people may not accept us. It might be why we push
others away or why we feel so unsafe or insecure in
relationships.

Being stuck in fight or flight means that we are constantly
sensing threat or danger, even when we are safe. It therefore
becomes challenging to return to a relaxed state of safety &
connection.

We often expect men to be strong, unyielding pillars of emotional stability. Society has perpetuated the notion that men should handle everything on their own, never showing vulnerability or seeking help when it comes to their mental well-being.
It's essential to recognize that vulnerability doesn't equate to weakness, as men have the right to feel, express their emotions, and ask for support without judgment.

Connection is essentially an evolutionary means of survival. To connect with people who accept us, who we can rely on in prehistoric times, increased our chances of survival. In modern times, connection remains just as important!
Then why do some of us struggle with closeness and connection?
It all boils down to safety. How can we be authentic and vulnerable with others when we’re in a state of fight or flight? If your nervous system senses that people aren’t safe (or that the risk of being hurt outweights the rewards of connection), it makes sense why relationships seem so challenging.

Did you get them all right? Intrusive thoughts are merely a
symptom of anxiety and/or O.C.D. They’re definitely more
common than you think and as shocking as the content of those
thoughts might be, they’re usually untrue and do not reflect
any actual desires that you might secretly have!
… Most importantly, your intrusive thoughts DO NOT define
who you are.

Overstimulation can happen when we’re stressed or taking on a
lot. Sometimes environments play a key role – is it too loud or
bright? rushed or chaotic? It’s okay to take breaks, leave early,
or take a moment to self-soothe when this happens.

Neurodiversity is like a big, beautiful garden full of all kinds of
different flowers. Each flower is unique in its own way, with its
own colors, shapes, and scents. Some flowers might be bright
and bold, while others are more delicate and subtle. But
together, they make up a beautiful tapestry that adds beauty
and vibrancy to the world.

I believe that everyone has a story to tell. Every life event and circumstance has shaped who we are- our thoughts, emotions, and outlooks. Life doesn’t always bring calm seas and blue skies and as human beings, there are times when it feels almost impossible to keep our heads above water. Along with the stresses of modern life, we may be met with grief and loss, traumatic experiences or tumultuous changes.
Whether you’re stuck in the woods of anxiety, conflict, or depression, it is possible to get out of the dark places and back into the sun. I know it feels daunting now, but that is why you are here.
Here at Silver Lining Counselling Services, I view therapy as a safe and non-judgemental space that fosters insight, healing, and perspective. I would love to hear your story and to walk with you through your darkest days and life’s most unexpected and painful moments,
Together, we will work to leave behind the struggles you face today, and equip you with the tools to move onward to a future of happiness and success.
If you’d like to embark on a path to self-discovery, to heal from your deepest wounds, to better understand the turmoils of your mind or to improve your mental health, it would be my honor to begin this journey with you.
