The pandemic is a new concept that one did not predict and is unsure when it will end. As a result, we have lost a sense of control, which can be distressing.

Control is being able to know how a situation will play out. It is normal to want control. It gives us a sense of structure and can take away from the anxiety that unpredictability can cause. Control can feel quite liberating! But life is unpredictable, even without the pandemic, and putting too much emphasis on control can cause a lot of other struggles for an individual.

Mental health and well-being are the key to the quality of life for every individual. More so, in today’s world, with these unprecedented times, the pandemic has disrupted the lifestyle of individuals and has left a lot of them struggling mentally, socially, physically, emotionally, and intellectually.

COVID-19 has made these people susceptible to depression, anxiety and PTSD. Although there are various sources of mental health awareness in Vaughan Ontario, Vaughan Counselling and Psychotherapy has decided to step up and play their part in the much needed COVID-19 help.

Cognitive behavioural therapy and dialectical behavioral therapy are two very popular modalities used in psychotherapy. They are two of the best methods that psychotherapists use to help heal and manage clients mental health. Both of these methods are cognitive behaviour therapies that can help heal destructive behaviors.
