Decision-making can feel overwhelming when we believe there is one “right” choice and that choosing incorrectly will lead to permanent regret.

But most decisions aren’t about finding a perfect answer. They’re about making the best choice we can with the information we have right now.

You don’t need to predict every possible outcome to trust yourself. You can make a thoughtful decision, see what unfolds and adjust along the way.

The teen years come with a lot to navigate. Big emotions, changing friendships, growing expectations, stress, anxiety, and everything in between.

This fall, we’re offering a 6-week Teen DBT Skills Lab for girls ages 13–15 led by two of our RCC’s Abbey Hicks and Marcie Menzies. The group is designed to be a supportive, practical space where teens can learn skills to better understand and regulate their emotions, cope with overwhelm, navigate relationships, and feel more confident handling everyday challenges.

Registration is now open, reach out to learn more or to see if the group might be a good fit for your teen.

Perfectionism can look like high standards, ambition, or simply wanting to do your best but underneath, it is often driven by a fear of making mistakes, disappointing others, being criticized, or not being enough. It can leave you constantly overthinking, over-preparing, second-guessing yourself, and moving the goalpost before you have had a chance to feel proud of what you’ve accomplished.

Therapy isn’t about lowering your standards or letting go of the things that matter to you. It can help you understand what your perfectionism is trying to protect you from, practise tolerating imperfection, and build a sense of self-worth that doesn’t depend on how much you achieve.

The goal isn’t to stop caring, it is to pursue what matters with more flexibility, self-trust, and compassion 🌱

The weeks leading up to September can feel surprisingly heavy.

Anxiety is future-focused. It asks the mind to rehearse what hasn’t happened yet. Often, the waiting feels harder than the event itself.

If September has been taking up a lot of space in your mind, try bringing the worry into focus instead of carrying the whole month at once. And if it’s been building for weeks, that’s something worth talking about now, not later.

When things feel overwhelming, try making the timeframe smaller.

Focusing on the entire day can ask too much of a nervous system that’s already overloaded. Bringing your attention to the next hour, or even the next minute, can make the moment feel more manageable.

You don’t need to figure everything out right now. Just focus on what this moment needs from you.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps us understand how our thoughts, emotions, physical sensations, and behaviours influence one another.

By identifying patterns that may be keeping us stuck, CBT offers practical tools for responding differently. This might involve questioning an automatic thought, gradually approaching something we have been avoiding, or practising a new coping strategy.

CBT is not about forcing positive thinking. It is about developing a more balanced understanding of our experiences and creating changes that feel realistic and sustainable.

Feelings often become more intense when we resist, avoid, or judge them. Trying to push an emotion away can signal to our nervous system that it’s dangerous, keeping us stuck in a cycle of monitoring and reacting to it.

Allowing an emotion to be present doesn’t mean we like it or want it to stay. It means noticing it with curiosity, making space for it, and listening to what it may be communicating.

Emotions naturally rise, peak, and eventually pass. Feelings are visitors, not permanent residents.
