Like the waves crashing against the shore, our emotions and thoughts can be intense and overwhelming. DBT encourages us to ride these waves with mindfulness and acceptance, acknowledging that the ups and downs (waves) of emotions are a natural part of life. Just as the tide eventually recedes, emotions too will change and pass. By embracing the dialectical nature of life's experiences, we can find peace and resilience amidst the ever-changing currents of our emotions. https://www.changingtidescounselling.com/blog/circle-of-security-parenting-building-connection-confidence-and-calm monthly 0.5 2025-11-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fdd2cdc51e6b539731aeb8d/16a84b98-4503-43fb-ba75-4bd568675995/toddler-diagram-what-is-cosi.webp Blog - Circle of Security® Parenting: Building Connection, Confidence, and Calm - Make it stand out The Circle of Security Diagram https://www.changingtidescounselling.com/blog/the-power-of-positive-reinforcement-in-romantic-relationships monthly 0.5 2025-11-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fdd2cdc51e6b539731aeb8d/8f685977-6d13-4df3-81b3-b6f48a1898dd/istockphoto-1183967695-612x612.jpg Blog - The Power of Positive Reinforcement in Romantic Relationships - “I feel so connect to you right now.” “This makes me feel so good.” “You just made my day.” “That meant so much to me.” “I love when you do that—it makes me feel so loved.” “You’re so thoughtful—I noticed that.” “Wow, that made such a difference for me.” “Thank you so much for thinking of me.” “I really appreciate that you did that for me.” “I can see how hard you work.” https://www.changingtidescounselling.com/blog/managing-stress-and-anxiety-over-the-holidays monthly 0.5 2024-12-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fdd2cdc51e6b539731aeb8d/60272586-e71a-4abf-a09c-a80f5e22ba15/picturesque-snowy-village-in-the-mountains-picjumbo-com.jpeg Blog - Managing Stress and Anxiety Over the Holidays - Make it stand out Winter Wonderland … love or loath? https://www.changingtidescounselling.com/blog/using-behavioural-activation-ba-to-treat-depression monthly 0.5 2025-11-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fdd2cdc51e6b539731aeb8d/83a72ea5-605d-4018-8701-dd061fe7766a/Picture1.jpg Blog - Using Behavioural Activation (BA) to manage symptoms of Depression On the flip side, have you ever noticed how your mood seems to soar when you're surrounded by friends, engaging in activities you love, or taking on new challenges?

We focus on getting through the day, handling work deadlines, family responsibilities, and the many social expectations that come with adult life. But often, without realizing it, our mental health takes a hit in the process. So why is mental health so important, and how can we make it a priority in our daily lives? What Is Mental Health? Mental health refers to the state of our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It influences how we think, feel, and act, and impacts how we handle stress, relate to others, and make important life decisions. Mental health isn’t static—it changes throughout our lives as we experience different stages and situations. Just like physical health, our mental well-being needs regular attention and care. Good mental health doesn’t mean you’re happy all the time or that life is free from challenges. Instead, it means being able to manage stress, bounce back from setbacks, form meaningful relationships, and maintain a sense of purpose and fulfillment in life. https://www.changingtidescounselling.com/blog/r8xj0kqgjbzsy97kujxf1nwssj2b8w monthly 0.5 2024-02-15 https://www.changingtidescounselling.com/blog/my-intern-therapist-journey-at-changing-tides-counselling2 monthly 0.5 2025-07-16 https://www.changingtidescounselling.com/blog/my-intern-therapist-journey-at-changing-tides-counselling monthly 0.5 2023-12-06 https://www.changingtidescounselling.com/blog/5v1p77tjvgqyfbxzo9gmlemnzh0wuo monthly 0.5 2023-11-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fdd2cdc51e6b539731aeb8d/ee4a72cb-7948-4872-bd8e-187003d756fe/Picture1.jpg Blog - Self-Compassion - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.changingtidescounselling.com/blog/emdr-unlocking-the-healing-power-of-your-mind monthly 0.5 2023-10-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fdd2cdc51e6b539731aeb8d/bb0b6237-f4f6-47d8-be22-da62de99b34e/drawings_Kensington_11_EMDR-big-1.png Blog - EMDR: Unlocking the Healing Power of Your Mind - The Science Behind EMDR While the exact mechanisms of how EMDR works remain a subject of ongoing research, the therapy's effectiveness is well-documented. EMDR is believed to mimic the brain's natural processing during REM (rapid eye movement) sleep, which is when the mind consolidates memories and emotions. The bilateral stimulation used in EMDR appears to facilitate the brain's ability to process and rewire traumatic memories, allowing the individual to experience emotional relief and healing. https://www.changingtidescounselling.com/blog/opening-the-conversation-about-grief-and-loss monthly 0.5 2023-10-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fdd2cdc51e6b539731aeb8d/1698255777172-PYXHOJ5340W9QBBW63RA/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Opening the Conversation About Grief and Loss - Difficulty eating, fatigue, or insomnia Loss of memory, motivation, or focus Sadness, irritability, or anger Loneliness, guilt, powerlessness Headaches or nausea A desire to distract and keep busy Existential questions surrounding the meaning of life or searching for a higher power Ruminating thoughts focused on the past or fear of the future https://www.changingtidescounselling.com/blog/181hri2cissl91nvowya78q47cl718 monthly 0.5 2025-07-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fdd2cdc51e6b539731aeb8d/de056cfa-f984-41a9-b914-22fafd8c18a4/1.jpg Blog - How do I Become a Better Ally? - Being an effective ally involves genuine commitment and ongoing effort.

The month of June serves as a time to honour the struggles, triumph, and ongoing fight for equality and acceptance. Pride month is celebrated as a result of the Stonewall Uprising, which took place in New York City in June, 1969. During this time, the Stonewall Inn (a popular gathering place for LGBTQ+ individuals) became a focal point of resistance when patrons fought back against a police raid, resulting in weeks of protests and demonstrations. Since then, Pride Month has grown into a global movement, with cities around the world hosting their own pride parades and events. Pride Month serves as an opportunity for LGBTQ+ individuals and their allies to come together, celebrate their diverse identities, raise awareness about LGBTQ+ issues, and advocate for equal rights and social acceptance. It also provides a platform to highlight the progress that has been made in advancing LGBTQ+ rights, while acknowledging the challenges that still exist. https://www.changingtidescounselling.com/blog/mnpa9kv9ds5mraerkinyou477x96mx monthly 0.5 2025-07-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fdd2cdc51e6b539731aeb8d/d6b5e3b2-55a2-4a75-8a62-8fa444954144/Picture1.jpg Blog - How do I Find my Self-Care Routine? - There are eight domains related to wellness and self-care, each of which encompasses its own ideas for self-care strategies.

I remember back to my first day (which included some “first day jitters”, of course!) and how incredibly welcoming and kind everyone on the team was. At that point, I don’t think I had realized yet just how truly lucky I was to be invited into such a warm space. A huge vulnerability that comes with interning is the “unknown” - asking questions upon questions and trying to retain as much information as possible. However, I genuinely believe that being part of this team allowed me to grow in ways that I hadn’t even considered and, quite honestly, strengthened my ability to progress in this field. I want to personally thank my supervisor, Nichole Caswell, for how supportive and genuine she’s been throughout my internship. Nichole’s knowledge and skills have supported me in becoming a better social worker and therapist, and her kindness has allowed me to gain confidence and connection as I navigate through the beginning stages of this field. https://www.changingtidescounselling.com/blog/hi9ihih0qdsnk6y5zltowxnsy1jwnu monthly 0.5 2023-04-27 https://www.changingtidescounselling.com/blog/hul4ruyzc0njmwy0jkhswc8u0pdr5w monthly 0.5 2023-03-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fdd2cdc51e6b539731aeb8d/0347e3fa-3eda-4014-8a94-722ff66874ac/Screen+Shot+2023-03-30+at+11.28.08+AM.png Blog - Improving Self-Esteem - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.changingtidescounselling.com/blog/emplj903fxvhby0nyqmiubf0wf8i8j monthly 0.5 2025-07-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fdd2cdc51e6b539731aeb8d/1678058390390-4SH4ZF09O8QB85SEGDI2/unsplash-image-1K9T5YiZ2WU.jpg Blog - Ways to De-stress Under Pressure - Stress can have both positive and negative effects.
