There's tears, there's laughter, there's tangents, there's casual chats, there's big breakthroughs, there's small breakthroughs, there's just wanting to be listened to days, there's challenges from me, there's challenges from you, and there's everything in between...

Why name your emotions?

When we take the time to name what we’re feeling, something powerful happens...our brain shifts from reacting to reflecting.

💪 Better emotional & physical health
💬 Stronger communication & relationships
🎯 Improved decision-making
🧩 Boosted learning & problem-solving
💫 Reduced emotional intensity
💖 Increased emotional awareness

Your brain has a balance scale. Every dopamine hit tips it toward pleasure, but it always swings back harder toward pain.

The constant scrolling, snacking, and stimulation of modern life keeps tipping the scale until your brain resets to the pain side. That’s when nothing feels good anymore.

But here’s the thing: your brain is resilient. It can recalibrate.

The escapism of addiction is not limited to drink and drugs...it's also in behaviours like shopping/spending, screen time (netflix, social media, gaming, internet), food, gambling, p**n, s*x etc.
..nor do these behaviours have to be at an extreme level to be considered addictive behaviours...

The feelings and emotions that we want to escape from through these behaviours also don't have to be deeply traumatic...it can be as simple as built up day to day stress and anxiety that you don't express...

It's easy for us to brush off the idea that we're engaging in these behaviours when we think of them in their more extreme form...
