Proud to share that our psychotherapist Katayon Qahir was recently featured in Authority Magazine talking about something that doesn’t get nearly enough attention — healing from psychological abuse.

Katayon works with adults recovering from toxic relationships, chronic stress, and trauma. She offers virtual sessions across Ontario.

Link to the full interview in bio — it’s worth the read.

There’s a version of you that existed before the anxiety, the burnout, the grief, the hard seasons.

You haven’t lost that person. You’ve just lost the path back to them.

That’s what therapy is for. To help you find your way back to yourself.

We’re accepting new clients at Get Reconnected Psychotherapy. Book a free 15-minute consultation to see if we’re a good fit.

Are we overcomplicating trauma healing?

In my latest blog, I explore a question that’s been bothering me as I continue to work on my own healing and my studies in counselling.
Have we layered so many techniques, spiritual ideas, and metaphors onto trauma treatment that we’ve lost sight of the fundamentals?

When you dig into the neuroscience, trauma appears less like “energy stored in the body” and more like dysregulated brain networks and fear memories.
What if the most powerful elements of healing are still the basics of emotional regulation, safe memory processing, and a validating therapeutic relationship?

A critical reflection on EMDR, somatic approaches, and the common factors that actually drive recovery.

Trauma and fertility struggles can live in the body at the same time, shaping fear, grief, and self trust, and therapy helps gently process both reproductive challenges and past traumatic experiences so healing does not have to happen in pieces, so save this post and book a consult when you are ready for support.

Eine Uniform kann man ausziehen - ein Trauma muss bewältigt werden

Tausende ukrainische #Veteran:innen kehren mit unsichtbaren Wunden aus dem Krieg zurück: Posttraumatische Belastungsstörungen (PTSD), Angststörungen und andere psychische #Traumata bestimmen ihren #Alltag. Diese Belastungen erschweren nicht nur die Rückkehr ins zivile Leben, sondern auch ihre soziale und berufliche #Reintegration.

Hilfe ist nötig!

Um ihnen wirksam zu helfen, braucht es moderne, evidenzbasierte #Therapieverfahren. Gemeinsam mit der Ukrainischen PTSD Assoziation und der Assoziation für Neurorehabilitation und Traumatherapie möchte die Hilfsorganisation Bamberg:UA ein hochmodernes Neurofeedback-System (inklusive Eye-Tracking und Biofeedback) beschaffen und in ukrainische Rehabilitationszentren bringen.

👉 Mit diesem System können:
#Diagnostik und #Therapie von #PTSD und #Angststörung/en entscheidend verbessert werden,
individuelle Behandlungspläne erstellt werden, die die Genesung nachhaltig fördern,
und eine wissenschaftliche Begleitstudie durchgeführt werden, um die Wirkung langfristig zu sichern.

Für die Veteran:innen bedeutet das: einen sicheren Schritt zurück ins Leben, weniger Symptome, mehr #Stabilität und die Chance auf echte #Heilung.

Jetzt aktiv werden und spenden!

Damit das System beschafft, überführt und in der #Ukraine eingesetzt werden kann, möchte Volt die Initiative von Bamberg:UA mit dieser #Spendenkampagne unterstützen - Hilf mit, unsichtbare Wunden zu heilen!

A collage I did yesterday

CW: Mention of mental health stuff (nothing current)

I made a collage/mosaic out of 5 pictures cut into many peaces:
my shattered portrait represents my depression
the shattered house reps my traumatic childhood
the shattered forest reps the current geopolitical situation
red reps my broken heart
In the bottom right corner there is my dog #Platon. Only he is whole. He looks at it all and sees a complete picture, with no flaws and no judgement. Platon makes me whole.
