Many of us woke up to heartbreaking news about the mass shooting in Tumbler Ridge, BC.
Even if we are not directly affected, events like this can shake our sense of safety, especially as parents and caregivers. If you’ve been feeling anxious, on edge or overwhelmed by the news, you are not overreacting.
This may be vicarious trauma, a very human response to witnessing suffering.
In our latest blog post, Registered Social Worker Mahira Zakiuddin shares:
—Signs of vicarious traumatization
—How to manage media exposure
—Ways to support yourself and your children
—When to seek additional help
Taking care of yourself is not turning a blind eye. It’s putting on your oxygen mask first so you can show up for others.
Mahira is also offering free 30-minute online support sessions for those impacted by this tragedy or other vicarious trauma. Contact our intake team at intake@torontopsychology.com or 416-551-1759 ext.3 to book.
You don’t have to carry this alone.

🤖💬 Can AI really replace your therapist?

In our newest blog post, we dive into:
✨ Why the relationship is the heart of therapy
⚠️ What AI misses when it comes to culture, context & connection
🔐 The risks around confidentiality, accountability & care
💭 And why discomfort in therapy isn’t failure—it’s growth
👀 Curious? Concerned? Already using a mental health app?
Find the post at torontopsychology.com/can-ai-replace-therapists/ to read the full piece.
Let’s talk about the hard truth behind AI therapy—and what it can’t replace.
