When you think of rehab, you may focus on recovering from your addiction. But addiction recovery can be a time for renewal in other areas of your life too. You can use this time to make some real changes, like the ones below, and make a real impact on your long-term recovery.

This week my eyes found themselves browsing through a hilarious Buzzfeed article that is a compilation of honest tweets from those who have been in therapy. Being as empathic as I am, I wanted to put myself into the shoes of these clients (and some of mine) to get a feel for what they feel in the therapy room.

Can you believe it? It's already March and I'm embarrassed to say that this is my first blog post of 2019! Believe me, I had many drafts/ ideas for posts lined up for release, especially in February, but every time I sat down to write or edit,

I wonder at what point in our lives we learned that it was wrong to feel. For example, this week alone I had three clients who had recently gone through a break up and they were missing their ex-partners. They thought they were doing something wrong by missing them.

Sometimes these subscriptions are deliberate and sometimes they’re mindless- something you need to do in order to get that extra 10% off your shoes or something you get over with so that you can go back to browsing.

Yay for friendship! I didn't realize that there was a dedicated day to purge your friends list on your social media platforms, but I guess it's a great reminder that every once in a while we need to take a deep dive into our contact list and keep around those that make us happy and kick to the curb those who don't.

Y'all, it's been a crazy few months and I'm (finally) beginning to enjoy the calm before the storm that I fondly call Christmas. From running the practice, making a few tweaks to the business, overseeing DIY Anger Kit's launch, and a few speaking engagements, my plate has runneth over.

On a brisk autumn Sunday morning, I love love love cozying up in my big comfy blanket (which I call "the vortex" because it sucks you in and you never leave), laying my head on fluffy pillows, and bathing in the aroma of a freshly brewed cup of coffee. This is my definition of comfort and I never want to leave. Actually wait, that's a lie. I would leave.

This past weekend I had the pleasure of supporting Tamil Health Association's current study, "Exploring the Mental Health of Women in the Canadian Tamil Diaspora."

Last week I wrote about my friend Paul who had recently won a contest in which he is entitled to a free month membership to a fitness bootcamp.
