How many therapists does it take to change a lightbulb? Just one, but it'll need nine more sessions!
Associate Fellow & Supervisor in RE-CBT.

As a therapist, I can’t tell you how often peopl As a therapist, I can’t tell you how often people wait until everything is crumbling before they seek support.

But what if therapy wasn’t the last resort — what if it was the starting point of self-connection?

There is no perfect timing, no perfect version of you that deserves help more.

Just come as you are. We start there 🌱

Having a high sex drive isn’t wrong. It isn’t Having a high sex drive isn’t wrong. It isn’t toxic.
And no — it doesn’t mean you’re asking for “too much.”

But it can create emotional distance when:

Sex becomes the only way you seek closeness

You struggle to accept the partner’s lower libido

Emotional needs get drowned out by physical ones

Here’s the thing: Libido differences are one of the most common but least spoken-about relationship challenges. And they’re not just about “how often” — they’re about how both partners feel seen, wanted, and safe.

When sex becomes a replacement for words, unresolved tension simmers beneath the surface.
The relationship can start feeling transactional instead of intimate.

So what helps?
✔️ Talking openly about what sex means to each of you
✔️ Making space for rejection without taking it personally
✔️ Understanding that emotional connection is just as arousing as physical touch
✔️ Seeking help if sex is being used to regulate anxiety, self-worth, or avoidance

This post isn’t about shaming high desire — it’s about keeping desire connected to communication, care, and clarity.

Because real intimacy isn’t just about wanting each other.
It’s about knowing each other — even in the quiet, unsexy moments.

Your social battery isn’t broken. It just gets d Your social battery isn’t broken.
It just gets drained faster than others.

Especially if you’re an #introvert or highly sensitive person, socializing can be a sensory overload — your brain is reading emotions, managing small talk, and filtering noise all at once.

That’s why you feel exhausted, even after a good time.

🧠 Quick recharge tools:
• Deep belly breathing for 1 min
• 5-4-3-2-1 grounding technique
• Journaling to let the overstimulation out

You’re not antisocial.
You just know when it’s time to log off and plug into yourself.

What’s your go-to post-social ritual? 👇

You can be a conscious parent and still emotionall You can be a conscious parent and still emotionally harm your child — unintentionally.

Because parenting doesn’t just require awareness. It demands nervous system regulation, inner child healing, and the courage to repair — over and over again.

Your child doesn’t need a flawless parent.
They need a safe one.

Let’s break the myth that awareness alone is enough.
It’s a beautiful start. But it’s not the end.

Share this if it hit hard.
Save it if you’re doing the work to break cycles.

👉 Alcohol is not always the problem — but it’s often the disguise. 👈

As a psychologist, I’ve seen how alcohol becomes a coping mechanism for what’s actually beneath the surface: anxiety, unresolved trauma, social pressure, or emotional numbness.

Sure, it can temporarily silence your inner critic or offer relief from stress —
but over time, it begins to:
👉 dull your emotional awareness
👉 disrupt your brain’s ability to self-regulate
👉 and slowly distance you from yourself.

If you’ve ever asked, “Why can’t I stop at one?” —
It’s not about willpower.
It’s about what’s driving you to pour in the first place.

Understanding your relationship with alcohol is more powerful than judging it.
You don’t need to be an addict to explore what’s really going on.

Not all grief is about death. Grief can show up af Not all grief is about death.
Grief can show up after a breakup, a job loss, a big change in your health, or even growing out of a life you once loved.
It’s not obvious — but one can definitely feel it.

Whether you're here to heal, or just to let your emotions be felt, I offer a safe space for you to simply be.
No pressure to fix anything — just space to feel everything 🤍

Sometimes, what we call love is actually control. Sometimes, what we call love is actually control.
Or fear of being alone. Or a performance we put on to feel safe.
But real love doesn’t confuse your nervous system — it calms it.
It doesn’t shrink you — it lets you expand.

If you’ve ever mistaken intensity for intimacy, this one’s for you.
Which of these showed up in your past relationships?

OCD and OCPD are often confused, but they’re ver OCD and OCPD are often confused, but they’re very different experiences.

OCD involves unwanted, distressing thoughts and repetitive behaviours to reduce anxiety. OCPD is a personality style marked by a strong need for order and perfection that feels justified to the person.

Understanding these differences helps reduce shame, build empathy, and remind us that support is available for both.

If this resonates with you or someone you love, know that help and healing are possible. 💛

Rest is productive. (Yes, even when you’re just Rest is productive.
(Yes, even when you’re just lying on the couch.)

Here’s what your body and brain are secretly doing while you rest:

🧠 Consolidating memories
💡 Connecting ideas
🫀 Repairing cells
🧘🏽‍♀️ Regulating hormones
💭 Processing emotions
🎨 Boosting creativity
😮‍💨 Balancing your nervous system

Rest is not doing nothing.
It’s everything your body needs to keep you going.

So don’t wait until you burn out to earn your break.
You already deserve it 🌿

Is it anxiety? Is it ADHD? Or is your brain trying Is it anxiety? Is it ADHD? Or is your brain trying to juggle both?

It’s easy to get overwhelmed when symptoms overlap. But the right diagnosis and support can make a world of difference. Whether you’re a parent, partner, or simply someone trying to feel more like yourself again — therapy is your safe space to begin.

Let’s unpack the confusion.
Let’s begin your mind healing therapy.

Your emotions are data, not drama. Every feeling y Your emotions are data, not drama.
Every feeling you experience has a root. When you understand where it’s coming from, you move from reacting to responding — with clarity and compassion.

One part says: “Hustle. We should be doing more. One part says: “Hustle. We should be doing more.”
Another says: “Let’s disappear and do nothing.”
And another just wants a snack and a nap 😩🍿

That doesn’t mean you’re confused.
It means you’re human.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy says we all have inner “parts” —
🗣️ The critic
🛡️ The protector
👶🏽 The inner child
😶‍🌫️ The avoider

Each one is trying to keep you safe (even if it doesn’t feel like it sometimes).

Similarly, come up with 10 suitable and relevant keywords, using the above image as the post, and the below as caption - 

Instead of fighting these parts, IFS helps you listen to them with compassion.
That’s how real healing starts — when your calm, clear self leads the way 🌱

Not all growth looks loud or visible. Sometimes, i Not all growth looks loud or visible.

Remember when “screen time” meant watching Sun Remember when “screen time” meant watching Sunday cartoons?
Now it’s 13 tabs open, a Reels on loop, and someone yelling “bruh” through headphones.

If you’re a parent wondering:
“Why is my child crying over a Snapchat streak?”
Welcome. You’re not alone. You’re just in 2025.

The digital world is their playground, classroom, and hangout spot.
But don’t worry — you’re still their anchor (even if they call you “cringe”).

📵 Start small:
– Set one meal a day as screen-free.
– Ask what they’re watching instead of just banning it.
– Be curious, not controlling.

They may roll their eyes, but deep down — they see you trying.
And that? That’s the real connection.

Not all victories are visible. Some are quiet. Pri Not all victories are visible.
Some are quiet. Private. Messy.
And incredibly brave 

I see this kind of strength every day in therapy —
The kind that doesn’t seek attention…
Just a little space to be acknowledged.

🌸 This is your reminder 🌸
You’re allowed to celebrate yourself,
even when no one else notices what it took to just be here.

Here’s to the invisible battles.
The silent healing.
The parts of you no one else claps for —
but I do 👏
