Kill the label. Kill the stigma.
⚠ Trigger Warning ⚠ The moment we attach a label to a life experience, we focus on the label and discard the merits of the experience. We make people invisible when we deny the reality of their experience by suggesting that there is something clinically wrong with them, despite causality of their emotional upheaval being […]

Repost: Judging to be safe
Judgement is not always harsh. But, judgement is always focused on an external standard that we think others respect. Don’t under estimate how much this mindset causes problems in every sphere of our lives.

Generational assumptions
One of the most common incorrect assumptions we make in life is assuming that others treat us badly because of who we are, and not because of their own demons. This is especially true about how we feel about our relationship with one, or both of our parents. Without realising it, two critical outcomes result […]
