While this post can be viewed with humor, it genuinely raises concerns about the use of Al and similar platforms for mental health support. These platforms can be validating in certain contexts, however, they may not always offer the nuanced perspective or humane solutions needed to address the complexities of human emotions....

When considering using an Al platform for emotional support or assistance with stressful life circumstances, it's important to carefully assess the severity of the situation and how long it has been affecting you.

When deciding on a course of action, consider what you are hoping to achieve:
- Am I looking to understand my patterns, gain immediate coping tools?
Do I want to go deeper into processing emotionally charged work?
- Do I need someone to hold me accountable through this process?

If the latter options resonate with you and your goals, speaking with a human therapist or counselor would definitely be a better option.

What do you think about the use of AI as a therapist or as a replacement to a professional mental health support?

The new year doesn't have to feel so overwhelming like society makes it seem.

Maybe all that overwhelm just needs a little calm. Maybe those goals you want to achieve just need a direction and/or some TLC to help you get started.

Therapeutic reframing is a useful CBT technique for learning how to identify and modify negative and unhelpful thought patterns, shifting them toward a more conscious, balanced, realistic, and adaptable perspectives. It also supports create emotional responsiveness and helps build resilience against stress, anxiety, and depression.

Because the stories we tell ourselves about our lives and who we are, shape who we become... So, why not craft narratives that helps us become the hero of our own life? 🪴

ADHD paralysis is real. It is not a character flaw! And you are NOT a failure…🫥

For many of my clients, the “freeze” shows up when the brain feels overwhelmed by choices, expectations, or fear of making a mistake. It can look like procrastination from the outside, but inside it feels like being stuck in place.

If this is you: take a breath. Your brain isn’t failing. It’s signalling that it needs gentleness, clarity, and smaller steps.

Taking the initial step to start is just as important as finishing the entire task. Break the task into a small step, show yourself compassion, and recall that regulation precedes productivity. Find a buddy to act as a body double to assist you in starting.

Your pace is valid, and you’re doing the best you can with the nervous system you have. 🌿💛🪴

Trigger Warning — poem about death, grief and loss of life.

I wanted to write and create this as a way to foster healing, help me process loss—big or small—and honour my decision to stay present to honor this little one’s life.

Being born is not one’s choice. Death is also inevitable. All we do is process the in between to try make this life beautiful and meaningful.

✨ Therapy and healing isn’t a straight line. And that’s okay. ✨

People often expect therapy to be smooth, but it more often is full of ups, downs, clarity, and confusion. Healing is rarely tidy but meaningful.

A client recently said:
“I thought I’d feel ‘fixed’ by now... but I still feel stuck some days. Am I failing therapy?”
I told them: “You’re not failing. You’re doing therapy—allowing yourself to process what wasn’t allowed before.”

Sitting with emotions, unlearning old patterns, relearning skills, and getting triggered are all part of the process and take time.

Therapy isn’t about avoiding struggle but learning to navigate it differently with support, tools, and compassion.

Remember: healing isn’t linear, and you don’t have to walk this path alone.

“In a forest of a hundred thousand trees, no two leaves are alike. And no two journeys along the same path are alike.”

Where do go to find serenity and peace?

Mindfulness isn’t about feeling better.
It’s about getting better *AT* feeling….

Especially the messy stuff.🧨

Fear? Sit with it.
Grief? Make space for it.
Anger? Breathe through it without flinching.

You don’t need to rise above your emotions. You need to be with them — with presence, not judgment.

That’s the real work. That’s where the healing starts. Feel it. Stay with it. Let it soften you.🌸

I had planted a peony rose bulb from my mom’s garden into mine almost two years ago, and seeing nothing happen brought on a wave of a bunch of negative thoughts. I often wondered, “Did I accidentally hit the bulb when digging? Maybe that's why it’s not growing!" or "Did I dig the hole deep enough? Should I have fertilized it after replanting? Did I choose the wrong spot?" But then, I woke up to a beautiful surprise yesterday... And there are many more on the plant waiting to bloom!! 😍🌷🌸 Nature is a great teacher of patience and perseverance indeed…!!
