Cancer doesn’t just affect the body — it affects the mind and emotions, too. Fear, anxiety, grief, and uncertainty are common parts of the journey, even when others expect you to “stay strong.” Struggling emotionally is not a weakness; it’s a human response.
Your mental health deserves care and attention at every stage. Support can help you feel less alone and more grounded through it all. 💛

Happy holidays 🤍
This season can be full, busy, and emotionally demanding. We’re intentionally creating space for rest by slowing down, tending to our nervous systems, and stepping back to recharge.
We’ll be doing the same here, taking a pause over the holidays and returning in the new year.
Until then, we hope you’re able to find moments of rest, ease, and care in whatever ways feel supportive to you.
Wishing you a gentle holiday season from Shanti Psychotherapy ✨

The holidays can bring closeness, tradition, and warmth but they can also magnify grief. You might notice it in the quiet moments, in familiar rituals that feel different now, or in the pressure to show up when your energy feels limited.
Coping during this season doesn’t mean forcing yourself to feel okay. It can look like setting boundaries, leaving early, taking breaks, or choosing not to participate in everything. It might also mean honouring memories in small, personal ways, or simply letting yourself feel what’s there without judgment.
There’s no right way to move through holiday grief. If this season feels heavy, you don’t have to carry it alone. Support, reflection, and gentleness can make room for both love and loss to coexist. 🤍
If this resonates, you can find more gentle reflections on coping with grief over the holidays in our latest blog on our website.

Men’s mental health is often shaped by silence. Many men are taught to “push through,” stay strong, or handle things on their own, even when something feels heavy inside.
Struggling doesn’t mean you’re weak. Feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, irritable, or exhausted doesn’t mean you’re failing. It means you’re human.
Mental health support isn’t about fixing you, it’s about having space to speak honestly, at your own pace, without judgment.
Therapy support is available for men who want a supportive space to talk. Reach out to connect with Michael Chu, our men’s mental health expert for a free 20 minute consultation using the link in our bio or on our website - it’s okay to talk about it.

“Narcissist” is often misused, but true narcissism goes far beyond confidence or selfies. It’s a consistent pattern of entitlement, low empathy, and a need for admiration — not just occasional traits.
Experts identify 7 types of narcissism, each showing up differently. That’s why understanding the difference between traits and a true disorder matters; overusing labels can cause harm.
If you’re navigating confusing dynamics or healing from narcissistic behavior, therapy can offer clarity, boundaries, and compassionate support.
