Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

PTSD and work
Q: How long does it take to work through these therapies and return to work?
Preparation and stabilization take one to two sessions, with two to five sessions to process the trauma, and several additional sessions to close and solidify coping strategies, typically totaling four to five sessions and sometimes more depending on the individual.
PTSD and work
Q: Can you tell us more about grounding exercises?
Grounding exercises bring the client back to the present moment using senses—looking around, naming things you see, hear, and even using breath work to reduce anxiety.
PTSD and work
Q: What do you do to treat somebody and try to get them back to work?
Grounding and stabilization techniques are used first, followed by EMDR therapy to process the trauma, and then coping strategies to prepare for returning to work.
Mayor, Council Don't Have to Get Along
Q: What are the practical consequences seen in other places like Ontario when strong mayor powers are adopted?
There are concerns about reduced public consultations and transparency, as the mayor may have greater unilateral influence, even as some argue this can streamline decision-making under clear accountability.
Mayor, Council Don't Have to Get Along
Q: Would these changes force councils to be reshaped before the next municipal election, or could action be taken immediately by the province?
Legally the province could act immediately, but such changes would likely provoke public debate and require careful consideration of democratic implications and transparency.
