Are you getting enough sleep? Statistics show, one in three Canadians get less than the recommended 7-9 hours. Sleep deprivation can lead to many health problems from memory issues and mood changes to weight gain and a weakened immune system. Sleep allows your brain to form pathways to process new information that you have learned throughout your day, as well as to heal your body. Our bodies are exceptional in the way that they are resilient, but it's also important that we take the time to rest throughout our busy lives. Here are 17 proven tips for a better sleep so that you can spend more time with the ones you love doing the things you love with the energy you need! https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/17-tips-to-sleep-better

As remembrance day approaches, we commemorate the many troops who fought and gave their lives for our freedom as Canadians. On November 11th we wear our poppies, yield a moment of silence in honor and take joy in the ceremonies in our city. Although October was mental health awareness month it should continue to be the focal point as we remember our veterans and how their path to an unhostile life can be lonely. There are many ways that we can support our veterans within o...ur communities, whether that means with our time or with donations to our local charities. Canada helps list many charities and nonprofit organizations so that you're able to decide which fits with your values most. The legion is Canada's largest support organization for veterans with over 260,000 members and 1,350 branches. This organization is nonprofit, it supports and brings veterans and their families together to create stronger communities across Canada. With that being said, we would like to be a part of their journey and guide them back to a peaceful and fulfilled life. Metro counselling is now offering counselling sessions for veterans and their families. If you or anyone you know are struggling please don't wait to reach out. Now is the time to find your freedom. https://www.canadahelps.org//sub-catego/military-veterans/ https://www.legion.ca/ #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthrecovery #veterans #rememberanceday #lestweforget #poppies #canadianarmedforces #mentalhealthdisorders #anxietydisorders #counselling #healing #trauma #healingtrauma #counsellingtherapy #counselingtherapy #traumatherapy #therapy #counsellingpsychology #psychology #clinicalcounselling #clinicalcounseling #grouptherapy #love #support #depression #howtofightdepression #spousalabuse #spousalabusesupport #partnershipabuse #stress #ptsd #selflove #mindfulness #wellness -

CBT is based on a model or theory that it’s not events themselves that upset us, but the meanings we give them. Cognitive-behavioral therapy differs from many other types of psychotherapies because sessions have a structure, rather than the person talking freely about whatever comes to mind. This structure benefits clients because as progress is made, grasp the principles they find helpful, they take more and more responsibility for the content of sessions. http://ow.ly/2m2z5...0yt6he #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthrecovery #mentalhealthdisorders #anxietydisorders #counselling #counseling #healing #trauma #healingtrauma #counsellingtherapy #counselingtherapy #traumatherapy #therapy #counselingpsychology #counsellingpsychology #psychology #clinicalcounselling #clinicalcounseling #grouptherapy #love #support #depression #howtofightdepression #spousalabuse #spousalabusesupport #partnershipabuse #partnershipabuse #stress #ptsd #selflove #mindfulness #wellness

If every brain function, mood, and emotion corresponds to a particular blend of brain chemicals activating a certain sequence of neurons, it means that a specific result can be achieved by deliberately stimulating specific chemicals.

WERE NOW ON LINKEDIN!!! Weve just introduced ourselves on the platform and would like to invite you on our mission to make mental health a priority in the communities we serve. Check us out ....

We can take proactive steps towards our own mental health by changing behaviours in small dosages. If you normally snooze some time well into the wee hours of the morning, it may be more helpful to attempt a more realistic bed time like lets say midnight or only fifteen minutes ahead of the time you would normally crash. Its the small changes that give us the confidence to make bigger ones. #metrocounselling #mentalhealth #movingforward

Friend asked me the other day what would be the best way to handle someone that does hold the same values as you, being a therapist I often get asked these type of questions, and I always say the same thing, you are only responsible for your actions, treat others with respect and love. Like Mahatma Gandhi said "You must be the change you wish to see in the world."

Thank you to all the wonderful friends that have supported Metro Counselling Therapy.
