“I have no coping skills.”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

…we have been practicing coping skills for 8 sessions but sure, let’s start from the top. 📋😌 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Genuinely no judgment, this is actually so normal. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

When we’re overwhelmed, our brain forgets everything it knows. That’s the nervous system, not a character flaw. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Which is exactly why we keep showing up together. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Drop a 🤍 if you’ve ever forgotten every single coping skill the moment you actually needed one. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

POV: you’re professionally curious about humans for a living and honestly it’s the best job in the world. 🧠✨ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

We ask the questions. We hold the space. We genuinely love what we do. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

And yes the crewneck is doing a lot of the talking today. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

The face you make when you hold space… and hold your tongue… and hold your entire professional opinion… all at the same time. 😶 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

We don’t judge. We don’t tell you what to do. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

We ask the questions that help YOU figure out what you actually want. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

But also…⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

We see you. 👀 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

And we believe in your capacity to get there, even when the road has a few detours. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

No shame. No lectures. Just a safe space to figure it out. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

That’s what therapy is actually for. 🤍⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

We built the practice we wish had existed when we needed help. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
 
Because we know what it feels like to look for a therapist who understands your culture. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Who understands the weight of what goes unspoken in South Asian and Asian homes. Who doesn’t need you to translate your family history into Western terms. Who has sat with that same tension between two worlds. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
 
Vanua [vah-NOO-ah].
It means land. Home. Village.
Healing was never meant to happen alone. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

This one took me a long time to understand. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

For a long time, admitting the cost felt like a betrayal. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Of my parents. Of my community. Of everything they sacrificed. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

But grief and love are not opposites. You can hold both. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

You can be deeply proud of where you come from and still acknowledge the weight of what was asked of you. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

The silence you were expected to keep. The needs you were taught to suppress. The version of yourself you had to set aside to belong. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Healing does not mean abandoning your roots. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

It means growing into who you were always meant to be, without leaving them behind. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Share this with someone who is holding both at once. 🤍⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

You have never once shown anyone how close you are to the edge. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
 
You smile through every hard day. You respond to every message promptly. You show up early, stay late, never complain. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
 
And in private, you are exhausted in a way you cannot explain. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Not tired. Depleted. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
 
This is high-functioning anxiety.
It does not look like panic attacks.
It looks like capability.
It looks like the person everyone depends on.
It looks like you. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
 
High-functioning anxiety is still anxiety. And it deserves support. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
 
Save this if you finally feel seen. 🤍⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

We asked our community what anxiety feels like for them. The answers changed us. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
 
“Like always waiting for something to go wrong, even when everything is fine.”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

“Exhausted but wired. Tired but can’t switch off.”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

“Responsible for how everyone around me feels, all the time.”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
 
You are not dramatic.
You are not broken.
You are not too sensitive. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
 
What you are describing is a nervous system that learned to stay on guard. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

That learned vigilance as love.
That learned performance as safety. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
 
You came here and told the truth. And that matters more than you know. 🤍⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Different stories. Shared healing. 🤍⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Healing doesn’t look the same for everyone and it shouldn’t have to. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

At Vanua Wellness, our counsellors bring their own lived experiences as women of colour to the work they do with you. That means you don’t have to explain yourself. You just get to be seen. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Whether you’re navigating family expectations, cultural identity, anxiety, or just trying to feel like yourself again, there is space for you here. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Virtual sessions available across BC.

You love each other. But you both learned love in very different ways and it’s creating conflict that neither of you knows how to resolve. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

This is one of the most common things we see in couples counselling. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Two people, both trying their best but bringing the patterns they learned as children into the relationship. One learned to shut down when conflict arises. The other learned to escalate. One pursues. The other retreats. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

It’s not a compatibility problem. It’s two nervous systems, doing what they know. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Common patterns we work with:
→ One partner over-explains. The other goes silent.
→ Small disagreements feel like threats to the relationship.
→ “We keep having the same fight.”
→ Intimacy feels unsafe, not because of each other, but because of history. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Couples counselling isn’t just for relationships in crisis. It’s for couples who want to understand each other on a deeper level and build something that lasts. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Save this and send it to your partner. 🤍⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

We offer virtual couples counselling across BC. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
