I've recently found myself in the headspace to finally begin some very essential therapeutic work that I've found myself resisting for many years: Reparenting. You dont necessarily need to be doing parts work therapy in order to be successful with reparenting yourself but I've found that my recent work has been the key to this concept for me. For so long I've felt angry, frustrated and straight up resistant to any idea of having to do reparenting work because I was mad that my parents didnt have to do it themselves. It felt like giving them a 'get out of jail' free card, and I thus struggled to process the sense of injustice that came along with those ideas. Thankfully through the work I've been doing in parts work therapy I've finally found my way to feeling ready to start this very important process of reparenting and Im looking forward to see where it takes me. Check out my video to learn more.

Hi! Someone who works in the non-profit/charity sector!

At least in Canada, a lot of our non-profits have been suffering from inflation. For example, food bank operating costs have gone up by 25% while we’re seeing less food being put out due to shrink-flation.

I do strongly suggest reaching out to charities and non-profits because we need them more now than ever! My local food bank has almost doubled in attendees in less than a year (400 originally, now 1000).

Ontarian Non-Profits 2 Checkout:

• Hamilton Regional Indian Centre

An indigenous outreach I strongly support. They focus on our cultural healing, prenatal care, supporting Canadian Indigenous families and so so so so much more!

A lot of events are run through them as well if you’ve ever wanted to partake in pieces of Indigenous culture.

• Alzheimer’s Society of Ontario

Our country’s leading charity in Alzheimer’s education and the leads for trying to find a cure. Old people get neglected a lot and especially old people with this illness.

They support and fund activities for them as well, which is important for stimulating the mind!

• Knight’s Table

Traditional food bank, focuses in mostly on non-perishables. I’ve used this organization in the past and they made sure me and my family were looked after.

1/3 Kids are food bank users.

• Regeneration

Traditional food bank that also serves hot and fresh foods. Provides a clothing closet for homeless and underprivileged as well, paired with a station to gussy up for job interviews. Think of it as a food bank with DLC.

• Rainbow Railroad

LGBTQ+ foundation that focuses on bringing queer folk who’ve been victimized in their home countries here to Canada for asylum. There’s too many countries that fund and support violence against LGBTQ+ people. Rainbow Railroad aids in the immigration process and helps people of our community from around the world.

Conversion therapy and similar methods are still widely accepted and encouraged in certain parts of the world.

• CAMH (Canadian Association of Mental Health)

Mental health non-profit focused on providing humane and healing treatment to Canadians FREE of cost. They run psychiatric facilities both stay overnight and drop in. They also host a 24/7 Crisis Hotline for those in dire states. Furthermore, they run free mental health programs such as DBT, CBT, Talk-Therapy, Group Therapy, Addictions counseling and so much more.

CAMH received a lot of funding cuts back when COVID hit, paired with a huge influx of people needing to use their services. Still they continue to provide these services, though now with wait times due to funding.

I encourage you to research charities within your area and donate either money, supplies or funds to them! There’s a huge need for it. Thank you to everyone who has supported non-profits so far. I can promise you they use every cent.

MMAC Mental Health Conference 2024

The MMAC Mental Health Conference is an amazing initiative that combines the latest research and findings in mental health and medical sciences research using holistic models. It evaluates and shares new research and findings in the field of mental field in academia in conceptualizing the growing field in mental health. There have been about 4 annual conferences of which I attended ¾ . With each one, I can see knowledge, outreach, and healthcare delivery enhancing. This year’s conference took place in the Medical Science Building at the University of Toronto.

It was a breezy winter day, both warm and cloudy with very light showers. There was a sort of calm and serenity that filled the air. I decided to walk for half an hour in the morning to enjoy the nice weather. The walk was mostly through University Avenue. Probably one of the nicer routes to take anywhere in downtown that is regularly cleaned, renovated and has significant greening initiatives. Considering that this was the road that led directly to the Legislative Assembly of Ontario from Union Station, perhaps this is why it was so well maintained. 

This particular location had many memories for me. This was beside the convocation hall, it was also close to the legislative assembly of Ontario where I had the opportunity of attending three times. One for a tour, for organizing at Queens’ Park with Justice for All, one for a tour of the facility through an internship program, one for the day that the Bill addressing Islamophobia was passed, and today. Aside from these formal occasions, because I used to live in Toronto in childhood, I had also frequently rollerbladed in this very park. Other events included Frosh, publishing my first research journal with a group and tourism. As a kid, I always felt either an ancient sort of presence. The old trees, ancient architecture, and something about the way the squirrels were just casually running around. I don’t think as a child, that I fully understood the role it played. Regardless, for some reason, after many milestones I found myself back here again. 

This is near where the conference took place. The Medical Science Building. A very simplistic interior and old architecture. The conference was in a lecture hall. There were a few breaks in between such as for lunch, networking sessions or prayer. Different organizations were tabled outside the lecture, across the building and the upstairs section had a nice carpeted area which was helpful in creating a prayer space. 

The talks had many insights and prominent speakers and thinkers from across the world trained in the healthcare field, psychology, counseling, medicine and psychotherapy, as well as faith-based leaders. Organizations included Smile Canada which assists children with disabilities, Wellnest focused on culturally based therapy addressing cultural issues, issues related to racism and being spiritually responsive, Sakeena Canada, Ruh care, Naseeha helpline and an organization partnered up with CAS (child aid services) but focused specifically on Muslim children by ensuring cultural issues and language barriers are taken into account, as well as organizations catered to those hard of hearing. Faith-based centers were also present, primarily IIT and ICNA. 

Some key insights from the talk included:

Iceberg analogy 

Using the iceberg analogy the speaker explained how a lot of western Psychology focuses on visible aspects such as cognitions and behavioral inclinations but with Islamic psychology the individual is understood much more deeply including having the ruh (soul), qalb (heart), and also social factors while acknowledging the role of aql (cognitions) and nafs ( behaviour)

The Islamic model is believed to be bi-directional with assessment looking at the entire individual holistically, where most contemporary models focus on observable aspects such as behavior inclinations and cognitions. The Islamic model incorporates emotional and spiritual domains. 

Trauma

Usually, people try not to be provocative (sometimes, they may even try to be salty, rage bait, or be provocative) when they find out about someone's trauma. In most cases, there is a sort of aversion to bringing up difficult feelings or conversations (don't mention it, don't do something hurtful) , but in addressing trauma, careful exposure may actually be crucial to healing

Healing requires alignment 

A prophetic model for healing included archery because it was a holistic intervention as opposed to simply talk therapy. For example, for PTSD, archery helps with stretching, breathing, aiming and a sense of control and a higher internal locus of control and sense of agency, as well as mindfulness. 

Spiritual Abuse

An anonymous question asked ‘what about cases of spiritual abuse?’

Cases of spiritual abuse by family members, religious figures, parenting, spouses and so on can have a lasting impact where faith was used to control, manipulate or inflate one’s own ego. 

MH care professionals integrating Islamic paradigms are not trying to do that and may not even talk about religious aspects unless you want to talk about something. They are just listening and assessing clients. Ultimately addressing issues related to directing the ruh (soul) back in unity with God, the source of mercy. This is not always how one would have understood God to assert one’s own ego or control but through a comprehensive understanding of who God is with divine attributes and approaching God directly. 

Refugees

Experiences of refugees

Risk of violence

Post migration MH including social isolation, discrimination, integration, and cultural and linguistic components

Pre migration MH, peri migration MH, post migration (family and cultural values)

Collectivist culture

Culture shock

Social connectedness

Parenthood

Individual factors

Trans cultural elements and sensitivity which has three levels including

Ontological 

Etiological

Therapeutic 

Cultural humility and safety

Being politically informed about the cause of refugee status in addressing issues where political factors played a huge role

Storytelling 

Conveys power

Dangers of the single story

“So this is how to create a single story show a people as one thing, as only one thing, over and over again, and that is what they become. It is impossible to talk about the single story without talking about power. There is a word, an lgbo word, that I think is about whenever I think about the power structures of the world and it's the nkali, It is a noun that loosely translates to ‘to be greater than another’. Like our economic and political worlds, stories are defined by the principle of nkali. How they are told, who tells them, when they are told, and how many stories are told, are really dependent on power. Power is not just the ability to tell the story of another person, but to make it the definitive story of that person. The Palestinian poet Mouris Marghouti writes that if you want to dispossess a people, the simplest way to do it is to tell their story and start by “secondly, ..” - Chimamanda Ngozi - Adichie

Decolonising our practice

Philosophically and spiritually 

Meeting another requires taming our own vulnerabilities 

Biopsychosocial Model

Biology - genes, MH condition, substance use, neurobiology, trauma and stress and medications. For example, PTSD can actually change biological features so the person is no longer who they used to be). 

Psychological 

Social - networks, community, friend circles, transportation, finances (usually harder to treat)

Psychosomatic Symptoms

It usually has three components. Receptors, processors, and effectors

Receptors (photoreceptors, chemoreceptors, mechanoreceptors, nociceptors, thermoreceptors) related to things like sight, taste, smell, hearing, taste

Processors (the brain)

Effector (muscle and glands)

Our body goes through this process, and after repetitive exposure, like collecting statistical information, it processes and organizes information. The response is then in two main ways. Functional cognitive processors and functional autonomous symptoms

Functional Cognitive Processors - allocate mental energy in understanding stimuli

Functional Autonomous Symptoms which are learned after repetitive or prolonged exposure

This is complicated because instead of stimuli, processing, response the stimuli immediately goes to symptoms automatically on auto pilot and to cure the symptoms requires significant therapy and unpacking. 

Complications include trauma responses and also embodied stress

It is phenomenal to think that all these receptors directly connect to the heart and there is huge potential in healing through prayer. 

Reflections

I found the day and the talk to be pretty phenomenal and healing. It provided lots of valuable insights including psychosomatic symptoms, some gender biases in psychological history, understanding refugees and aspects related to spiritual abuse. 

Three key components that I found fascinating in psychosomatic symptoms were about functional autonomous symptoms, looking at the body and mind holistically and interconnected, and healing through prayer. Autonomous symptoms could be that initially require significant thought and reflection but after repeated stress the body just shuts down and starts producing symptoms automatically. Whether it's nerve damage, heart rate, sweating, shutting down even when there is no significant context well after traumatic incidents. The body just gets wired to react this way and at times, prolonged stress can even lead to cancers and other stress related diseases. I found this very interesting because on a regular basis, perhaps slowly and gradually we continue to drift away from the model of cartesian dualism, the belief that the mind and body are separate. There is more and more research suggesting that the mind and body are extremely interconnected.

I also found the component of healing, alignment and resiliency fascinating because every single receptor is directly connected to the heart and through constant prayer, there is huge healing potential, provided time is taken to fully align ourselves with our higher purpose through spirituality. 

I found it also intriguing that it was in the era of when women faced mental health stereotypes such as female hysteria that many advancements in the field of mental health took place. Gender stereotypes include things like toxic masculinity and female hysteria and are informed by the mental health field and can, at times, have a devastating impact on people’s lives. I believe stereotypes, biases and prejudices are very hazardous and difficult to change once they become established and can have consequences.

The talk on broadly understanding refugee health was also interesting because I had done a research on refugees in 2018 and tried to incorporate the political economy of health, intersectionality and health as a human right. The broader research in the field is wonderful to see. 

All in all, I really enjoyed taking part in this conference and learned a lot of interesting things. It is amazing to join this annual conference every year and broaden my understanding related to mental health. 

[hanasnx]

i think healthcare does vary somewhat in its specifics from province to province but in general i imagine the principles would be pretty similar between them. in BC for citizens, people with work visa for 6+ months, refugees, international students etc, you get the Medical Services Plan (MSP, as a resident of bc it's free for me, for a visa you may or may not have to pay but sounds like you don't have to?) which covers stuff that is medically necessary like drs visits, treatments, tests. it doesn't cover meds, dentist, or optometrists. (fun fact i just found out as i was looking some stuff up for you: certain gender affirming care is covered! i did not know that! i could get a hysterectomy for free!!! cool!) it does cover mental health treatment via public institutions, but not private. anything beyond that is (hopefully) covered by extended care (insurance provided by job or private insurer). you can look up what specifically is covered by MSP or its equivalent in the province you're aiming for and if it's BC the website is actually decently easy to use.

therapy - in bc at least, my impression is that the mental health sector is reallly busy and there are a lot of waitlists, so emergency/crisis situations would be their priority, and i imagine it might be more difficult to get care otherwise. private therapists would be more readily accessible but also more expensive- one i was looking at the other day was istg like $160 cad for 50 min. so having insurance via your job would be really helpful for that. my extended care plan is a pretty good one and was willing to cover something like 80% for therapists. (jsyk my impression is only based off of watching other people's experience with the public sector and my own brief research into private therapy so don't take it as gospel) other provinces would likely be similar but to lesser degrees (except ontario they'd probs be worse)

feel free to ask more questions! i really would love to help. unfortunately i don't know a lot about visa stuff but anything cultural, daily life, etc, i can def give you an insider perspective. <3

thank you! wow thank you so much anon i really appreciate it. this was a lot of good information! i had been researching for a long time but sometimes insider tips help you know where to get started, or what to expect or what to look up etc. also knowing the insurance bor was rly helpful thank you

not taking it as gospel, but as a jumping off point this was great i appreciate you

right now i don’t have any more questions about stuff that’s not visa related<3

[inevitably-johnlocked]

Hi Steph, I’m sorry to bother you with this but I feel so lost and your blog has been a source of light for so long. I’ve been trying to hold on a job for a while but had to quit two because of mental health reasons. I am embarrassed though, how do I cope with this? At the same time I know I am capable since I do have skills, but the environment/circumstances is just so stressful..

Hey Nonny *HUGS*

Ooof I am SO sorry that you're dealing with that stuff, and I wish I could do more than offer hollow words. Please know I am not a professional so please just take what I say as anecdotes that I hope will help you too <3

Nonny, there is NOTHING to be embarrassed about, and it took me a LONG time to realize that. Seeing a therapist has helped me immensely with those feelings of shame. I'm also fortunate enough to have a day job that I'm 8-years-tenured at, so honestly I just went right to the top with the HR manager in the room, told them exactly what my therapist recommended for me, and now I'm allowed some accommodations should I need them.

However.

Mental health is WOEFULLY undervalued in the corporate world, and very few of us end up with employers who are both understanding and accommodating to our needs, and I can understand why you want to keep it to yourself in fear of job loss. I'm a Canadian in Ontario, and we have laws that employers cannot fire or lay you off strictly because of mental health issues (which I believe is a fairly recent thing). You don't state where you're from, so I'm going to guess it's the US, which I – from afar and tumblr posts – understand is horrific to employee-rights. So, yeah, I can understand why you feel trapped.

Honestly Nonny – and this is just because I felt encouraged by my therapist to do so – just talk to an HR person about options to accommodate you, like maybe they let you work nights when there's less people and distractions, or let you do hybrid work... And if need be, get a doctor or psychologist's note to present to them.

Honestly Nonny, I'm probably the worst person to ask about this, because I KNOW I'm privileged enough work a job that was willing to work with me. You know why? Because, like you, I have the skills that are valuable enough to keep me around. It took working an entire pandemic at home to prove to them I could be granted those accommodations, but yeah, sometimes, your work IS noticed, even if they don't say anything to you.

So, my thoughts are this: talk to a counsellor or therapist or even your doctor (mine is a talk therapist, and we're working on cognitive behavioural therapy, which is essentially giving me tools to cope with my day-to-day), because just having an unbiased point-of-view is helpful. Talk to your HR manager to see if they have the capabilities to accommodate your needs. AND if your job has PTO or Sick days, TAKE THEM. That's what they're there for. There is NO shame in taking a day off because you can't get out of bed. OR offer to work at home on those days, which is what I do.

Sorry I'm not much help other than this, Nonny. I have so much empathy for you, especially since I have very bad headspace days where I can't physically bring myself to go to the office. I truly hope you find a solution that works for you, but AGAIN, DON'T BE ASHAMED. You are only human, and we are NOT made to work 40+ hours a week for 60 years.

If anyone has much more useful advice, please do offer it <3

With the collapse of primary medicine in Ontario, a situation ensured by provincial governments for decades, Loblaws has managed to become the only game in town for one of the 2.2 million Ontarians without a family doctor. While the Ford government has ensured Shoppers can profit from pharmacists “treating” minor ailments, if you need a family doctor and don’t have a walk-in nearby, you get Maple. 

Last spring, Galen and company delivered the coup de grace, in terms of making sure they are unavoidable in primary care, with the purchase of Lifemark Health Group. By paying Audax Private Equity $845 million, Galen acquired Canada’s leading provider of physio, massage therapy, chiropractic, mental health and rehab services. Interestingly, given the significance of the purchase for Canadians, as patients, media coverage of the acquisition was muted.

[untitledinstinct]

I am going to have to take a little time away from tumblr. (Hopefully just a couple days)

I don't have enough money for my pain/ptsd/mood medication, and don't want to act or say shit I don't mean.

I'm I'm a bad mental place, and don't know how long until I can get my medications.

Seeing things on here (food) that I'm nearly addicted to, while feeling like such shit, when I can't afford a bag of milk or medication the rest of this, and all of next month triggers bad feelings from my bpd.

I have borderline personality disorder, and it's hell to deal with on the best days.

The only thing I can do when I'm in a spell is recluse because I'm not... I'm basically a broken human.

The specific way my combination of disorders come together, basically make it so everything about me is broken in one way or another, and that I'll never be able to maintain, or have relationships or friendships or really any human connection.

I am invalid

Now, not everyone with bpd is this way. Most aren't.

There's over 117 different ways it can present, as well as the fact I have multiple other disorders intertwined with it.

I have done 12 years of all different types of therapies, and workshops. I have all the skills needed, but one disorder will trigger the next, and the next, and the next, and suddenly I don't know what day it is or what happened the last two.

I'm on a large amount of antidepressants, to the point every doctor I see questions it.

300mg effexor

275mg lamotragine

300mg welbutrin

1mg resperidone

For depression only.

I have also been prescribed medicinal Marijuana (in Ontario - legal) and that's the one I can't afford.

That one helps with pain, depression, c-ptsd, and panic disorder w/ agoraphobia. (Some of my dx's) this is the one I can't afford this month. It's the one that carries most of the weight.

Honestly the only reason I didn't get shock therapy is because I needed a ride home, and didn't have one, and couldn't afford a cab.

Please remember it's the specific combination of symptoms of 6+ psychiatric diagnoses. Very, very, very few people with any of my dxs will be affected this way.

People with bpd get a bad rap of being bad people. Bpd is basically like our mind is as sensitive as a 3rd degree burn - the slightest interaction, can cause a big reaction in our brain that we can't always control. It doesn't mean we don't try. It means we learn when to pull ourselves away to calm down.

Adding for luck.

If you're able to help with cost of medication, my PayPal is: https://www.paypal.me/thatguyyates

Nothing that comes in will be going to food/groceries until medication cost is covered (unless specified)

Currently at $75/$205 but a service fee is coming out soon

(Not all medications or health issues have been added. Not all are needed in here)

[hanasnx]

canadian here - canada's pretty okay. if you wanna move somewhere progressive stick with the big cities and not to dunk on the other provinces but BC and Ontario are probably the best in that sense (and ofc the most expensive sorry). Alberta is only semi jokingly known as the Texas of Canada so do with that what you will. Never been but from what I've heard you do need to speak French to get by in Quebec so unless you do or want to learn I wouldn't super recommend it.

as a Vancouverite I gotta rep my city- it's super diverse and really queer friendly, and in those regards feels really safe. plus the Pacific northwest is fantastic - so so much nature, loads of beaches, ski resorts, islands, lakes, trails, forests, and the temp goes from about -3 to 30 degrees Celsius, so not too extreme. Not sure what you've been told about Canadian wildlife but it's really not that bad - you only get bears in the suburbs and outwards and as long as you keep alert and keep your head on you it's fine. same with the coyotes.

downsides of Vancouver: job market is TOUGH atm, especially for entry level jobs. cost of living and housing especially is also really bad, and there is a fairly significant homelessness/drug/mental health problem that makes certain parts of the city not super safe

politically we are coming to a crossroads - Justin Trudeau, the current PM & with the Liberal Party, is near universally hated at this point, mostly for economic reasons, and the NDP party is never gonna win, so unless Trudeau gets his wakeup call and steps down, at our next election we might be looking at a Conservative government, which would not be ideal. not trump-levels of devastating but not ideal.

anyways you should come to Canada indy!! it's definitely not perfect but we'd love to have you <3

i do know the area im going to be moving to already but this was super informative about the surroundings thank you so much for being thorough i really appreciate it. and for explaining the political landscape too! super helpful

right now my worries lie in the work visa and it’s stipulations because i know i can’t apply for PR or citizenship for a couple years at least. updating my passport and applying for a visa is my next move, and then i know the canadian gov has to let me know if i’m approved and then give me the info on where i’m allowed to work and how long.

i’m guessing since my record was expunged there shouldn’t be a problem with that at least. what i am worried about is my history with keeping a job is not super good, and i’m worried that if i obtain a visa to work a specific place, and then fuck it up, then i’ll be shit outta luck

my other problem is the cost of living and how i’ll basically be forced to work to keep up with the visa and to afford actually eating and being alive.

if you don’t mind me picking your brain a bit more, healthcare is a big thing for me right now. does it differ from province to province and does it cover mental health services and issues? would therapy be on the table or is that an out of pocket cost or would i need better insurance etc

if you don’t know that’s cool! i’m just gathering as much info i can on the subject before i dive in, as i often do

Insecure Attachment Therapy Ontario: A Path to Healing and Connection

Insecure attachment refers to patterns of relating that emerge when early bonding experiences with caregivers are inconsistent, neglectful, or traumatic. These patterns can significantly influence an individual's emotional well-being and interpersonal relationships throughout their life. In Ontario, addressing insecure attachment therapy ontario through specialized therapy is essential for fostering healthier connections and personal growth.

Renewal Therapy offers comprehensive online services tailored to individuals seeking to heal from insecure attachment, complex PTSD, and stress-related challenges. By utilizing evidence-based therapeutic approaches, individuals can work toward developing a more secure and fulfilling emotional foundation.

Understanding Insecure Attachment

Attachment theory, pioneered by John Bowlby and Mary Ainsworth, identifies four primary attachment styles: secure, anxious, avoidant, and fearful-avoidant. Insecure attachment encompasses the latter three styles, each characterized by distinct patterns:

Anxious Attachment: Individuals with this style often crave closeness but fear abandonment, leading to clinginess and heightened sensitivity to relationship dynamics.

Avoidant Attachment: Marked by a preference for independence, these individuals may struggle with intimacy and often suppress emotional needs.

Fearful-Avoidant Attachment: Also known as disorganized attachment, this style involves a mix of seeking and avoiding closeness, often stemming from unresolved trauma or inconsistent caregiving.

These attachment styles can lead to challenges such as difficulty trusting others, maintaining healthy boundaries, and managing emotions effectively. Without professional intervention, insecure attachment can impact various aspects of life, making therapy a crucial step toward healing.

Renewal Therapy's Approach to Insecure Attachment Therapy in Ontario

Renewal Therapy provides specialized online insecure attachment therapy Ontario, focusing on individualized treatment plans that promote healing and self-discovery. Their approach integrates various therapeutic techniques, ensuring comprehensive support for clients dealing with attachment-related struggles.

1. NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM): NARM is a powerful therapy model that focuses on healing developmental trauma. It helps clients understand how early attachment patterns influence their current behaviors and emotions. Through this approach, individuals can build self-awareness and develop healthier coping strategies.

2. Internal Family Systems (IFS): IFS therapy explores different "parts" of the self that may have been affected by past trauma. By understanding and integrating these parts, individuals can work through unresolved emotional conflicts, fostering inner harmony and self-acceptance.

3. Brainspotting: Brainspotting is a unique technique used to access and process deep-seated trauma. By identifying eye positions linked to emotional distress, this therapy helps individuals release stored trauma and develop emotional resilience.

Through these evidence-based approaches, Renewal Therapy provides a supportive environment for individuals to heal from insecure attachment and achieve personal growth.

The Benefits of Online Therapy for Insecure Attachment

With the rise of virtual therapy, individuals can now access professional help from the comfort of their own homes. Online complex PTSD therapy Ontario, Montreal online therapy, and virtual stress therapy in Ontario have become increasingly popular options for those seeking flexible and effective mental health support.

Privacy and Comfort

Consistent Support

Through online attachment therapy, individuals can receive ongoing support tailored to their specific needs. Regular virtual sessions help clients stay committed to their healing journey, ensuring steady progress toward developing healthier attachment patterns.
