Running on Empty? You Don't Have to Keep Pushing Through

🌿 Stress & Burnout: When You’ve Been Carrying Too Much for Too Long

Do you ever feel like your brain just won’t shut off?

You get through work. You take care of everyone else. You manage the appointments, responsibilities, relationships, finances and endless to-do lists…

And yet, when you finally have a moment to yourself, you still can't relax.

Maybe you're exhausted but can't sleep.

Maybe you're becoming more irritable or emotional.

Maybe you're overwhelmed by things that normally wouldn't bother you.

Or maybe you're simply thinking:

“I don't know how much longer I can keep doing this.”

You may be experiencing chronic stress or burnout.

🔥 Burnout isn't a sign that you're weak.

Often, it's a sign that you've been carrying too much for too long without enough opportunity to recover.

What can burnout look like?

You might notice:

• Constant exhaustion
• Racing or repetitive thoughts
• Difficulty sleeping
• Feeling overwhelmed
• Irritability or frustration
• Loss of motivation
• Feeling emotionally numb or disconnected
• Difficulty concentrating
• Losing enjoyment in things you normally love
• Feeling like you're always “on”
• Struggling to set boundaries or say no

And sometimes, the hardest part is that everyone else thinks you're doing fine.

You're still showing up.

You're still working.

You're still taking care of people.

But internally, you're running on empty.

🌿 Therapy can help.

At UR Plentiful Therapy in Grande Prairie, we can work together to understand what's contributing to your stress and burnout and develop healthier ways of coping.

Therapy may include strategies for:

✨ Managing anxiety and overthinking
✨ Setting healthier boundaries
✨ Reducing people-pleasing
✨ Managing workplace stress
✨ Improving self-care
✨ Building confidence and self-worth
✨ Navigating major life transitions
✨ Improving sleep
✨ Developing healthier responses to stress

🧠 What about clinical hypnosis?

For appropriate clients, clinical hypnosis can be incorporated into therapy as another tool to support relaxation, focused attention and healthier patterns.

Hypnosis may help you practice:

🌿 Deep relaxation
🌿 Calming a busy mind
🌿 Reducing tension
🌿 Creating healthier sleep patterns
🌿 Strengthening positive self-talk
🌿 Building confidence
🌿 Developing a greater sense of calm and control

Hypnosis isn't about losing control. You remain an active participant in the process.

Think of it as learning how to give your mind and body permission to slow down and reset.

❤️ You don't have to wait until you're completely burned out.

You deserve support before you reach your breaking point.

If you're in Grande Prairie or surrounding areas and you're feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, stressed or simply not like yourself anymore, therapy can be a place to start.

Back to School Can Be Hard on Teens Too

As parents, we often think about the excitement of our kids heading back to school—but for some teens, it can bring a lot of anxiety.

New teachers, schoolwork, changing friendships, fitting in, social media, peer pressure, and simply trying to figure out where they belong can feel overwhelming.

Sometimes a teen who seems irritable, withdrawn, overwhelmed, or uninterested may actually be struggling underneath.

💙 They may be worried about friendships.
💙 They may feel left out or pressured to fit in.
💙 They may be struggling with confidence or self-esteem.
💙 They may simply not know how to talk about what they're feeling.

As a therapist and a parent, I know that sometimes our teens don't need us to immediately fix things. They need us to listen, understand, and give them a safe place to work through it.

At UR Plentiful Therapy, we provide a supportive, non-judgmental space for teens to talk about anxiety, friendships, school stress, self-esteem, peer pressure, and the challenges that come with growing up.

If you've noticed your teen struggling lately, you don't have to wait until things feel overwhelming. If you're wondering whether counselling might be helpful, feel free to reach out. We can have a conversation and see what might be the right fit for your teen. 💙

Hi, I’m Taunya Cochrane, MSW, RCSW, and the founder of UR Plentiful Therapy. I believe therapy is not about “fixing” who you are—it’s about creating a safe space to understand yourself, heal from what you’ve experienced, and move toward the life you want.
At UR Plentiful Therapy, I support adults navigating anxiety, stress, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, self-worth, and those times when life simply feels overwhelming.
My approach is compassionate, practical, and individualized. I draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches, including CBT, DBT, trauma-informed therapies, narrative therapy, mindfulness, strengths-based work, hypnosis, and more.
Most importantly, you don’t have to have everything figured out before reaching out. Sometimes taking that first step is the beginning of something really meaningful. 💛
✨ You are worthy of support. You are worthy of healing. You are worthy of a plentiful life.

🌿 ADAPTING TO CHANGE: YOU DON’T HAVE TO HAVE IT ALL FIGURED OUT

Change can be uncomfortable.

A new job. A relationship ending. A move. Changes in family life. A new chapter you didn’t expect.

Even positive changes can bring anxiety, sadness, uncertainty, or the feeling of “What do I do now?”

And that’s okay. ❤️

Adapting to change doesn’t mean that you have to feel positive all the time. It means giving yourself permission to feel what you feel while learning how to move forward.

Here are a few gentle reminders when life feels uncertain:

✨ Focus on what you can control.
You may not control what happens, but you can choose how you respond and what steps you take next.

🌱 Create small routines.
Simple things like getting enough rest, going for a walk, connecting with someone you trust, or taking a few quiet moments for yourself can create stability.

💭 Give your emotions space.
You don't have to rush through sadness, frustration, or anxiety. Your feelings deserve to be acknowledged.

🤍 Be patient with yourself.
Some days may feel easier than others. That doesn't mean you're moving backward.

🫶 Remember that you don't have to do it alone.
Talking with a therapist can give you a safe space to process change, understand your emotions, and develop healthy ways of coping.

At UR Plentiful Therapy, we believe that you can move through life's transitions without having to navigate them alone.

💬 Let's talk:
What is one thing that has helped you cope with change in your life?

💛 Living Beyond the Diagnosis: How Therapy Can Help You Cope with Chronic Conditions

Living with a chronic health condition affects so much more than the body.

Whether you’re navigating chronic pain, fatigue, autoimmune challenges, or a long-term diagnosis, the emotional impact can be just as difficult to manage. You may experience grief, anxiety, frustration, irritability, or even a sense that you’ve lost a part of who you used to be.

And if your health feels unpredictable, it can be hard to know how to move forward.

At UR Plentiful Therapy, we believe caring for yourself means caring for both your physical and emotional well-being. Therapy can provide a safe space to process what you’re experiencing, reconnect with your body, and develop tools to help you find more peace and balance—even when uncertainty remains.

Here are a few therapist-supported strategies that may help:

🌿 1. Give Yourself Permission to Grieve

A chronic diagnosis can bring many forms of loss: changes to your routines, energy, independence, relationships, or future plans.

Your feelings are valid.

It’s okay to feel angry, sad, frustrated, or overwhelmed. And needing rest or support does not mean you’ve failed.

Try offering yourself the same compassion you would give to someone you love.

🧘 2. Reconnect with Your Body Gently

When you live with ongoing pain or fatigue, it’s natural to disconnect from your body as a way of coping.

Somatic awareness can help you gently reconnect.

Try taking a few quiet moments to notice your breathing, areas of tension, or signs that your body needs rest—without judging or immediately trying to change what you feel.

Over time, this awareness can help you recognize your limits and practice healthier pacing.

🌸 3. Come Back to the Present Moment

Living with chronic illness can create a lot of “what if” thinking:

What if tomorrow is worse?
What will my next test show?
Will I ever feel like myself again?

Mindfulness can help bring your attention back to right now.

One simple grounding exercise is the 5-4-3-2-1 technique:

👀 5 things you can see
🤲 4 things you can touch
👂 3 things you can hear
👃 2 things you can smell
👅 1 thing you can taste

You don’t have to solve tomorrow today.

💭 4. Challenge the Thoughts That Keep You Stuck

During difficult health days, negative thoughts can become especially loud:

“My body is failing me.”
“I’m a burden.”
“I’ll never feel better.”

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can help you notice these patterns and develop more balanced ways of thinking.

Instead of:
❌ “I’ll never feel better.”

Try:
💛 “Today is a difficult day, and I’m doing what I can to care for myself.”

The goal isn’t forced positivity. It’s learning to respond to yourself with greater compassion and realism.

⚡ 5. Practice Energy Pacing

When your energy is limited, it can be tempting to push yourself until you have nothing left.

Instead, consider asking:

✨ When is my energy usually highest?
✨ What activities are most meaningful to me?
✨ What can wait until another day?
✨ Can I break a large task into smaller steps?

Your capacity may change from day to day—and that’s okay.

Small, meaningful goals can still create a sense of purpose and fulfillment.

💛 You Are More Than Your Diagnosis

A chronic condition may be part of your story, but it does not have to define your entire identity.

Therapy can offer a space to process grief, work through anxiety and guilt, reconnect with yourself, and build resilience while navigating the realities of chronic illness.

At UR Plentiful Therapy, we draw from approaches including mindfulness, somatic therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and strength-based support to help you move toward a life that feels meaningful and fulfilling alongside your diagnosis.

You don’t have to navigate this journey alone.

🌿 Ready to find more balance and emotional support?

Reach out to UR Plentiful Therapy to explore in-person or online counselling options tailored to your unique journey.

💛 Your diagnosis is part of your story. It is not the whole story.

💙 MANAGING DEPRESSION: YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO IT ALONE

Depression isn't always obvious.

Sometimes depression looks like crying every day.
Sometimes it looks like sleeping all weekend.
And sometimes it looks like going to work, taking care of everyone else, smiling, and quietly feeling like you're falling apart inside.

You may find yourself thinking:

"Why can't I just snap out of this?"
"What's wrong with me?"
"I have so much to be grateful for—why don't I feel happy?"

The truth is, depression isn't a weakness, and you don't have to simply push through it. 💙

🌱 Small steps can make a difference

When you're depressed, even basic tasks can feel exhausting. Instead of expecting yourself to fix everything at once, try focusing on one small step.

✨ Get outside for a few minutes.
✨ Take a shower and get dressed.
✨ Eat something nourishing.
✨ Go for a short walk.
✨ Reach out to someone you trust.
✨ Give yourself permission to rest.
✨ Challenge the thought that tells you you're not good enough.

You don't have to feel motivated before taking action. Sometimes action comes before motivation.

💭 Pay attention to the way you talk to yourself

Depression can make our inner voice incredibly harsh.

"I'm a failure."
"Nothing will ever get better."
"I'm a burden."

Those thoughts can feel very real—but a thought isn't necessarily a fact.

Therapy can help you slow down those patterns, understand where they come from, and develop a kinder and more balanced relationship with yourself.

🤍 Don't underestimate connection

Depression often tells us to isolate.

But you don't have to explain everything or pretend you're okay. Sometimes simply saying:

"I'm having a hard day. Can you sit with me?"

is enough.

Connection matters.

🌿 And remember...

You don't have to wait until you're completely overwhelmed before asking for help.

Depression can be connected to grief, trauma, relationships, burnout, major life changes, loneliness, stress, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself and your sense of purpose.

Working with a therapist can provide a safe space to understand what's happening beneath the surface and begin finding your way forward.

At UR Plentiful Therapy, we believe you don't need to have everything figured out before reaching out.

You just need to take the next small step. 💙

If you're struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, or a difficult life transition, support is available.

Grief Doesn't Need to Be Fixed—It Needs to Be Supported 💙

When someone we love is grieving, it's natural to want to make the pain disappear. We search for the "right" words or try to make them feel better. But the truth is, grief isn't something to fix—it’s something to walk through, one step at a time.

Sometimes the greatest gift we can give is simply our presence.

Here are a few ways you can truly support someone who is grieving:

🤍 Listen more than you speak. They don't always need advice—they need someone who will simply hear them.

🤍 Let them feel what they feel. Sadness, anger, guilt, relief, confusion, or even numbness are all normal parts of grief.

🤍 Offer specific help. Instead of saying, "Let me know if you need anything," try:
• "Can I bring dinner over on Tuesday?"
• "I'd be happy to pick up groceries."
• "Would you like some company today?"

🤍 Keep checking in. Support often fades after the first few weeks, but grief doesn't. A simple text saying, "I've been thinking about you," can mean the world.

💔 What to avoid:
❌ "Everything happens for a reason."
❌ "They're in a better place."
❌ "At least..."
❌ "You should be over it by now."

Instead, try saying:
❤️ "I'm so sorry you're going through this."
❤️ "I don't have the right words, but I'm here for you."
❤️ "You don't have to go through this alone."

Not everyone wants to talk—and that's okay. Sitting quietly together, sharing a meal, going for a walk, or simply reminding someone you're there can provide tremendous comfort.

Grief has no timeline, and healing looks different for everyone.

If grief begins to feel overwhelming, starts affecting daily life, or feels impossible to navigate alone, professional support can make a meaningful difference.

At UR Plentiful Therapy, we provide compassionate, trauma-informed grief counselling in a safe, supportive environment. Whether your loss is recent or happened years ago, you don't have to carry it alone. Healing doesn't mean forgetting—it means learning to move forward while honoring the love that remains.

As the new school year approaches, many children are feeling excited—but for children with learning disabilities, it can also bring feelings of anxiety, overwhelm, and self-doubt.

As parents, we want our children to feel confident, supported, and ready to learn. Small steps like re-establishing routines, talking openly about their worries, celebrating their strengths, and working closely with teachers can make a big difference.

Remember, a learning disability does not define your child's intelligence or potential. Every child learns differently, and with the right support, they can thrive both academically and emotionally.

If your child is struggling with school-related anxiety, low self-esteem, or the emotional challenges that can come with a learning disability, counselling can provide them with tools to build confidence, resilience, and healthy coping skills.

At UR Plentiful Therapy, we're here to support children, youth, and families in Grande Prairie and across Alberta as they navigate life's challenges.
