A look back at this summer at Risework🌞

Community events, patio classes, team hangs... So much of what we loved about this summer was simply getting to spend time together and connect with you.

To everyone who joined an event, brought a friend, or helped make it all happen, thank you. And to our team, thank you for the care and personality you bring to everything we do. 🤍

Want to join us for what’s next? There are still a couple of spots left for our Costa Rica retreat, November 7–14. Message us for details! 🌴

And if this season has you ready to make space for yourself, book a free 15-minute consultation to connect with a therapist who fits your needs. Link in bio.

Being able to carry it doesn’t mean it isn’t heavy.

You get things done. You show up for people. And “good, just busy” comes out without much thought.

Therapy can be a space to pause, figure out what you need, and feel supported beyond how well you’re managing.

You start dating someone. Things are going well. You like them, but you still feel grounded. You’re living your life, not overthinking every text, and generally feeling pretty secure about where things are going.

Then… they pull away.

Suddenly you’re thinking about them constantly. Checking your phone. Replaying conversations. Wondering what changed. And somehow, you like them 10x more than you did three days ago.

Sometimes that sudden increase in intensity isn’t actually about how much more you like the person. Uncertainty and distance can activate our attachment system and make us want closeness even more.

The question becomes: Do I want them more, or am I reacting to them wanting me less?

If dating and relationship patterns like this feel a little too familiar, therapy can be a space to get curious about what’s happening underneath them. 🤎

We’re unpacking more than our sweaters…

Get ready for sweater weather, warm drinks, and a little support for whatever you’re carrying into this season. 🍂🤎

Maybe the return to routine feels overwhelming. Maybe familiar patterns are showing up again. Or maybe you’d just like an hour where you don’t have to be the one holding everything together.

You don’t need to hit a breaking point to make space for yourself. We’re here when you’re ready.

We’re not saying we’re professional matchmakers, but…

Finding the right therapist can make all the difference. That’s why we don’t expect you to scroll through a list of bios and figure it out alone. Our intake coordinator gets to know what you’re looking for, answers your questions and helps match you with a therapist who feels like the right fit.

And if your first session doesn’t feel right? We’ll help you find someone who does- and your next session with a new therapist is free.

One of the most unfair things about ADHD as a woman? Realizing how much of what we know about ADHD comes from studying men 👍🏼

For decades, ADHD research focused heavily on boys and men, shaping our understanding of what ADHD is “supposed” to look like. Meanwhile, girls and women, who may be more likely to present with inattentive or internalized symptoms, have historically been overlooked or diagnosed later.

And then there are hormones.

Emerging research suggests ADHD symptoms can worsen at certain points in the menstrual cycle as estrogen levels fluctuate. Some women also report that their usual stimulant medication feels less effective during the premenstrual phase.

And we’re only beginning to understand how ADHD may interact with other major hormonal shifts, including puberty, pregnancy, postpartum and perimenopause.

So yes, women have been living with ADHD this entire time.

We’re just still catching up on actually studying what ADHD looks like in women.

Cool cool cool. 🙃

Risework Therapy offers ADHD assessments and therapy for adults, including women who may have been overlooked or diagnosed later in life. Our therapists support adults navigating ADHD, anxiety, self-worth, relationships, emotional regulation, burnout and more. We offer virtual therapy across Canada and in-person therapy in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Learn more or book an ADHD assessment through the link in our bio. by @riseworktherapy
