Even positive change can bring anxiety, grief, or a sense of not knowing who you are in the middle of it. In therapy, I aim to create a space where we can slow down and make sense of what’s shifting. We can explore what matters to you, what you’re leaving behind, and what you want to move toward. Common transition themes Feeling stuck between an old identity and a new one...]]></description><link>https://www.collaborationtherapy.ca/post/life-transitions-when-change-brings-anxiety-grief-or-uncertainty</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a364c5ca8977cb11dd4cdc7</guid><pubDate>Sat, 20 Jun 2026 08:16:28 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/20fc05_40d59e8ca1c147329a7f39a6d54f2e7d~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>sobhiabanob</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Depression: When Motivation Disappears and Everything Feels Heavy]]></title><description><![CDATA[Depression isn’t always sadness. For many people, it’s numbness, low energy, disconnection, or the sense that even small tasks take enormous effort. You might still be functioning on the outside while feeling stuck or empty on the inside. In therapy, I don’t treat depression as a personal failure. We explore what your experience is communicating—about stress, loss, burnout, unmet needs, or long-standing patterns—and we work toward change at a pace that feels doable.

Sometimes it shows up as racing thoughts. Other times it’s a tight chest, a restless body, or a sense that you can’t fully relax—even when things are “fine.” In my work, I approach anxiety collaboratively. We slow things down, get curious about what your anxiety is trying to do for you, and build practical ways to respond differently—without forcing you to “just think positive.” Common signs of...]]></description><link>https://www.collaborationtherapy.ca/post/anxiety-what-it-can-feel-like-and-where-we-can-start</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a364c5ca8977cb11dd4cdc8</guid><pubDate>Sat, 20 Jun 2026 08:16:28 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/20fc05_fba24fd7620d48e9989885e640999f90~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_800,h_600,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>sobhiabanob</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Trauma and the Nervous System: Why You React the Way You Do]]></title><description><![CDATA[Trauma can shape how your nervous system responds to the world. Even when you logically know you’re safe, your body may react as if danger is still present. This can look like hypervigilance, shutdown, panic, or feeling “too much” or “not enough.” I take a collaborative, exploratory approach to trauma therapy. We work to understand your responses, build safety and stability, and gently process what’s been carried—without rushing.
