    "Cindy and Andrea spoke at an event we hosted for our Broker team and industry partners. In what can often be a high-stress industry, our goal was to encourage the group to prioritize their overall health—both physical and mental. Cindy and Andrea connected with the audience in a relatable and engaging way, helping them better understand the challenges of our industry, recognize signs that therapy might be beneficial, and learn simple strategies for managing stress. Their presentation was fun, positive, and left our group feeling empowered about the role therapy can play in a well-rounded health plan." Sheri Creese, Mortgage Brokers Ottawa

LET'S WORK TOGETHER

“AS HUMAN BEINGS WE BELONG TO AN EXTREMELY RESILIENT SPECIES. […] BUT TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCES DO LEAVE TRACES, WHETHER ON A LARGE SCALE […] OR CLOSE TO HOME. […] THEY ALSO LEAVE TRACES ON OUR MINDS AND EMOTIONS, ON OUR CAPACITY FOR JOY AND INTIMACY, AND EVEN ON OUR BIOLOGY AND IMMUNE SYSTEMS.”

Van der Kolk, 2014, p. 1
