Everyone prepares athletes for the next game.
Far fewer prepare them for the day there isn’t one.

When a career ends, athletes can lose more than competition. They may lose their routine, teammates, structure, income, public identity and the sense of purpose that shaped most of their lives.

Then there are the injuries nobody can see.

Years of pain. Interrupted sleep. Performance pressure. Repeated head impacts. The fear of no longer knowing what comes next.

The final whistle should not end the care plan.

Former athletes deserve continued neurological evaluation, mental-health screening and a team that recognizes changes in:
* Mood
* Sleep
* Behavior
* Memory
* Impulse control
* Sense of identity

For athletes diagnosed with major depressive disorder, EXOMIND may be one treatment option considered by a qualified healthcare professional. Its non-invasive ExoTMS™️ technology stimulates brain regions involved in mood regulation.

In clinical research:
* 77% reported improved mood*
* 88% reported improved sleep*
* 83% reported more positive thinking*
* 76% reported greater self-control*

EXOMIND does not prevent or treat concussions or CTE. It can, however, become part of a clinically appropriate mental-health conversation for someone experiencing depression.

Athletes spend years assembling teams to protect their performance.

They deserve a team protecting the person who remains afterward.

*Data on file.
EXOMIND is Health Canada approved for the treatment of major depressive disorder in adults. Individual results may vary.

A very profound perspective from Serenity Now’s Registered Provisional Psychologist Tacia Tsimaras, Tacia Tsimaras | YYC Therapist :

If you’ve already lived through sexual violence, your body isn’t just reading these headlines, it is recognizing & responding.

If you haven’t been feeling okay lately, it makes sense, and in case you need to hear it: you are allowed to tune out, log off, & opt out of conversations that push up against your own history of sexual trauma and violence.

If you have experienced trauma rooted in a sense of powerlessness and loss of agency, consuming more and more can be a way we try to make sense of something that is senseless. Where we try to find power and agency when it wasn’t there.

If you are finding yourself feeling consumed by it, hopeless, dysregulated, numb or noticing old feelings or patterns come up....here is permission to just pause . Breathe. Notice your body. What is it telling you? What does it need right now? How can I stay connected to my own experience while still deeply caring?

& I don’t mean we get to just “opt out” of trauma, misogyny, violence. I mean we find places where we take care of ourselves, choose what conversations we are willing to have, and deciding what we need.

When you come back into it, check in:
Is consuming all of this helping me right now? Can I slow down and check in with what my body and being needs? Where can I find power and agency through taking care of myself? What do I need to take care of myself when the world feels unsafe? Can I be with both my own experiences, and my desire to influence, change, and advocate for other survivors? What would it look like to care about this, without having to carry all of it? What ways do I advocate for justice and change, while still considering myself in that equation?

When something unexpected happens, your mind may rush to predict the worst as a way to protect you. But uncertainty doesn’t always require an immediate answer.

Pausing to notice your thoughts, reconnect with the present moment, and make room for not knowing can create space for a more grounded response.

You may not be able to control what happens next, but you can choose how you meet it.

Try these mindfulness techniques when tension rises:

• Pause and breathe: Inhale gently for four counts, exhale for six, and repeat several times.

• Ground through your senses: Notice five things you can see, four you can feel, three you can hear, two you can smell, and one you can taste.

• Name the experience: Silently identify, “I’m noticing worry,” “My shoulders are tense,” or “I feel uncertain.”

• Feel your feet: Press them into the floor and notice the support beneath you.

• Orient to the present: Look around and remind yourself, “In this moment, I am safe enough to take one step.”

• Create a response gap: Ask, “What is needed right now?” before acting or speaking.

Practise these during calmer moments too, so they are easier to access when something unexpected happens.

Overthinking can become a cycle of anxiety, mental checking, and temporary relief—especially when the mind feels compelled to find certainty.

While therapy remains an essential part of OCD treatment, for some individuals experiencing OCD alongside depression or other symptoms, Exomind may be considered as a complementary treatment option within an individualized care plan.

At Serenity Now Wellness Centre, we combine thoughtful assessment, evidence-based therapy, and innovative options to help you move forward with greater calm and confidence.

Book a consultation at Serenity Now Wellness to explore whether Exomind may be right for you.

Wise words from Serenity Now's Canadian Certified Counsellor Kelly MacKay:

Self-acceptance…it’s been a hot topic in sessions lately. 👀

We spend SO much time investing in who we’re BECOMING: reading the books, listening to the podcasts, building better habits, optimizing, healing.

Yes. Those things matter deeply. 🙏

But if all of our value lives in the next chapter or version of ourselves, we miss the chance to appreciate the person who’s carrying us through today.

Let’s not wait until we’ve “arrived” to be worthy of compassion and acceptance. Besides… growth becomes a lot more sustainable when it’s rooted in self-acceptance instead of self-criticism. 😉

The strongest people are often the least comfortable asking for help.

Baker Mayfield recently shared an important lesson from his own experience: asking for help can feel difficult, even when there are more people in your corner than you realize.

His pressure may play out in stadiums. For others, it happens in an office, a treatment room, at home, or quietly behind the scenes. Different arena. Same weight.

Seeking support can look different for everyone, from opening up to someone you trust and connecting with a licensed professional to exploring available mental health treatment options.

EXOMIND uses non-invasive ExoTMS™️ technology to stimulate brain regions involved in mood regulation. In clinical research, participants reported:

• 83% handled stressful situations better*
• 77% experienced improved mood*
• 86% experienced improved sleep*
• 83% reported more positive thinking*

Mental strength isn’t always about carrying more. Sometimes, it’s recognizing when you deserve support.

Family therapy is not about picking sides.

It is about helping families understand each other better, communicate more clearly, and work through difficulties in a healthier way.

Sometimes families reach a point where conversations go nowhere, tensions build, or the same issues keep repeating.

Family therapy gives everyone a space to feel heard and start making sense of what is happening together.

Family therapy appointments are available at Serenity Now Wellness. Please click on the link in our bio to book, or to set up a complementary consultation. Alternatively, you can call us at: 403-454-7600.

We focus on building self-esteem and improving relationships in a safe environment where emotions can be processed.

Our therapists teach healthy coping strategies and effective communication skills, empowering ACoAs to navigate their past and create a fulfilling future.
