​Ever rolled your eyes at the age-old advice to “just breathe” in the midst of life’s chaos? Yep, guilty as charged! But let's be honest – can simply taking a breath, or practicing breath work, really solve the complex challenges we’re faced with on a daily basis? Spoiler alert: not a chance 😅! But here’s the thing, there’s value in harnessing the tool of our own brilliant biology to allow ourselves to meet individual, interpersonal, and systematic issues from the most grounded place possible. Curious about how to unleash this potential? Find out how, plus more, in Shift Collab Therapist Elizabeth Bala’s upcoming free virtual workshop on September 19 at 6 PM EST! You can expect to learn about the nervous system to understand why breathwork works, strengthen your ability to feel grounded in your body by connecting with your breath, be actively guided through four different breathwork tools and learn about the benefits of breath work as an everyday wellness tool.

Join us from September 14 to October 4 for a free, virtual challenge to build and keep one new habit. You know that list that you’ve pushed to the back of your mind that says to drink more water, read a bit every day, or stay off your phone at night? ‍ Yeah, we know this list all too well. We also know that doing these things is much easier said than done, so that's why we’ve created this community challenge: so we can do this together! Co-Founder, Megan Rafuse, and our Community Manager, Lucy Ford, will guide you through a series of questions, reflections, workshops and more as we set off on a mission to improve our consistency as a group.

Ever fall into a thinking trap? Maybe you have and just never realized it! Thinking traps are negative thinking patterns that cause us to think in extremes, ignore contrary evidence and rely on our emotions instead of facts. And while they’re pretty common, they’re not always…how do we say…welcomed. Ready to flip the script? Join Shift Collab Therapist Sarah Innes on August 17 at 6PM EST as she guides you through a skill-building activity so you can face thinking traps head-on! ​Throughout this workshop, Sarah will guide you through an interactive discussion leading you into a game we all know and love, Kahoot! If this is your first time hearing about Kahoot, this game-based learning platform that will help you (in this case) challenge thinking traps by learning the different ways to recognize them and overcome their effects.

Are you tired of watching your loved one battle addiction while neglecting your own needs? Do you ever feel trapped in a cycle of enabling, unable to express your true feelings or growing frustrated with your loved one's behaviour? It's time to break free and take charge of your well-being! Join Shift therapist Olivia Vander Vloet for a transformative journey into the world of enabling in this free, virtual deep dive on July 13 at 6 PM EST. ​Reminder: you're not alone in this struggle—many people have been right where you are. Together, we'll deep dive into how enabling contributes to the cycle of addiction and empower ourselves with practical strategies to break the cycle by creating healthier boundaries.

In any relationship, love and effective communication are the cornerstones of connection- and while that's a lovely sentiment to state, let's be honest, it's not always sunshine and rainbows; sometimes you're going to clash! The good news is there are solutions for this, and Shift therapist Mahnoor Zulfiqar is deep diving into them during her free virtual chat on July 10 at 6 PM EST. ​During this in-depth chat, Mahnoor will outline how you can learn each other's love & conflict languages to understand each other's needs and rebuild your connection. BTW- you don't need to be in a relationship to join! All are welcome to learn and discover their own love & conflict languages.

Get ready to ignite your inner creativity in this one-of-a-kind free workshop with Shift therapist Fatima Noorali on June 15th at 6 PM EST. ​In this workshop, you’ll discover the connection between creativity and self-esteem as you work through an art activity to unleash your hidden potential. The activity? We’ll be creating a collage/mood board together! And if you’re someone who is not so creative, no problem! This workshop was designed for individuals like you who are ready to dive into self-discovery in a way that’s a little more messy and out-of-the-box. So, get ready to dive into a space of interactive activity and informative discussions that will empower you to elevate your self-esteem through your own creativity.
