Advice and tips on managing mental health, maintaining a positive outlook and becoming your happiest self.
Have you lost touch with who really are?
Do you sometimes feel as though you’re walking in someone else’s shoes, as though you’re operating on autopilot or ‘playing a role’ to please or fulfil others’ expectations of who you should be? Do you ever wonder “Who am I really?” Holistic counselling and therapy can help you find your way home to your most authentic self.

Playing With the Colour Black
I'm a door-to-door saleswoman. My day job that is. I sell life insurances to people, profiting off of their love for the future of their families, their fear of the black-hooded Grim Reaper. Little do they know that I’m Death Incarnate. The business is simple and profiting in many ways. I sell life insurances by day and kill people by night. The increasing crime rate of murders in the neighbourhood manifest fear in people, so there has been a boom in the insurance industry, while at the same time, I kill people under contract to earn some pretty pennies. It was going all good and forth till I met the strangest client yet.

How to Remain Consistent With Journaling Therapy
Journaling therapy or healing every day for 10 minutes helps you to develop intuition. We always ask someone else to evaluate ourselves through self-reflection exercise, but you could do this yourself daily by developing a journaling habit.

Embodied Presence
JANUARY 1, 2021 - Wow! We made it. I never thought last year was going to end. Struggling for the energy to get through another day, while not feeling at all what I was experiencing within my body. The sluggish, uncomfortable weight of 2020: grief, heartache, frustration, impatience, longing, denial – constant, conflicting thoughts of Covid! STOP!!! Oh and...all the extra pounds from eating my feelings.

Loving A Narcissist
This was an article that I had planned to write a little later, though I had been doing research on it for sometime. I had initially wanted the first few articles on my page to be a little more lighthearted, though helpful. But in light of the recent accusations against Marilyn Manson, and the disgusting comments that I am seeing as a result brought up the reminder that a lot of people do not understand the dynamics of abuse.

Your Mind Is a Garden: Water It
Dear Future Self, You did it. You got up from that dark room, opened the blinds, and welcomed the sunshine in. Like a snail lugging a heavy shell, it took all your bones- heavy as they were to wake up. Yet you did it. You woke up, had a workout, showered, made breakfast, and had coffee. In between sips, you savored the moment, making peace with yourself, vowing to try again after the battering your soul took. Upon wake, you tell yourself there is hope.

Where Does Sanity End and Insanity Begin?
Perhaps the headline for this article is too extreme, but really there is no way around it because it’s difficult to conceptualize, much less to describe, insanity and sanity as a spectrum, and so we cling to some definitive distinction, likely cause this dividing line is so central to the reliability of our own perceived reality. Yet, exempting various forms of hallucination — the direct, confirmable non-existence of something perceived — the line becomes quite blurry.

Baby chicks
The story you are about to read is about the time I put a baby chick in a microwave. I acknowledge that it wasn't the best thing to do but there is more to the story than you think. Before you jump to any conclusions grant me an opportunity to explain myself.

Suicide Contagion
Suicidal behavior is complex; many factors lead to someone taking their own life, some of which are almost impossible to do anything about as an outsider looking in. These factors include adverse life events followed by deep depression. Often, a person already experiencing suicidal thoughts or feelings may be pushed over the edge by a phenomenon known as suicide contagion. U.S. Department of Health and Human Services defines suicide contagion as the exposure to suicide or suicidal behaviors within one's family or peer group or through media reports of suicide that can result in an increase in suicide as well as suicidal behaviors. Contagion comes in clusters - suicides that occur close together, whether in time or location. Contagion is an increasingly severe issue that can be prevented only through education. To safely protect potential “victims,” we must understand where the exposure is coming from, reasons people contemplate suicide, and how to approach someone who may be suicidal. With so many personality suicides being prominently displayed, contagion turns self-destruction into more than just an idea.
