Depression
Depression is a VERY common mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest. 

Although many adults struggle with depression, it can be so crippling that it is challenging to go about everyday activities and responsibilities.

Specific life circumstances, including major life changes and traumatic events, can result in feelings of depression, such as grief and loss from a death of a loved one, emotional or physical abuse, divorce, or challenges with substances.

Common symptoms
of depression are:

  • Major depressive disorder
  • Dysthymia (Persistent depressive disorder)
  • Manic depression (Bipolar disorder)
  • Postpartum depression
  • Seasonal affective disorder (SAD)
  • ​Situational Depression
For many, depression is more than just “feeling down,” and simply "snapping out" of it isn’t an option. 

If this is you or someone you know, reach out to the Wholeness Psychology Centre. We can help you find a treatment for your experience.
Challenges with Substance or Behaviours
Many people use substances such as drugs or alcohol or engage in certain behaviours to relax, have fun, experiment, or cope with stress. 

For some people, however, the use of substances or engaging in certain behaviours can become problematic because it can lead to a compulsive engagement with a stimulus (substance use or behaviours), despite harmful consequences, making it challenging to maintain a healthy life.

An over-reliance on substances or activities can result in an inability to connect into life and other people in ways that will ultimately bring greater fulfillment.
Has your substance use or behaviour become a problem?

Stressors, such as job loss, workplace injury, relationship problems or separation, etc., can greatly impact your substance use or behaviour, causing engagement with a stimulus to go from non-problematic to problematic.

 These 4 areas will help you to get some clarity and understanding of your relationship with a particular substance or behaviour:
  • The presence of craving
  • Loss of control over the amount or frequency of use
  • Compulsion to use
  • Continued use despite short- or long-term negative consequences
Reach out to Wholeness Psychology Centre if you feel you or someone you know is experiencing these challenges. 

We'll create a plan that works for you moving forward, and develop healthy coping strategies that will help you to experience a healthier and more fulfilling life.
Grief and Loss
With every change comes a loss and a new beginning. Unfortunately, many changes that involve a difficult loss usually brings up a lot of grief.

Coping with the loss of someone or something you love is one of life’s biggest challenges.

And while grief and grieving are most commonly associated with the death of a loved one, any change or loss can cause grief.

Common grief experiences are:

  • Divorce or relationship breakup
  • Change in health
  • Losing a job
  • Changing jobs
  • Loss of financial stability
  • Getting married
  • A miscarriage
  • Retirement
  • Death of a pet
  • Loss of a cherished dream
  • A loved one’s serious illness
  • Loss of a friendship
  • Loss of safety after a trauma
  • Selling the family home and moving
  • Retirement
  • Death of a pet
  • Loss of a cherished dream
  • A loved one’s serious illness
  • Loss of a friendship
  • Loss of safety after a trauma
  • Selling the family home and moving

Whatever type of loss you’ve experienced, there’s no right or wrong way to grieve. The grief process can involve many different feelings and can last over short or long periods of time, with breaks in between.

Know that you don’t have to go through your experience alone.

Reach out to the Wholeness Psychology Centre if you or someone you know is struggling with grief. Together with one of our skilled therapists, we can work through your loss and explore your needs as you move forward.
