The all or nothing trap makes you believe that if something isn’t perfect, it isn’t worth doing. It turns small setbacks into complete failures and makes everyday life feel heavier than it needs to be.

This thinking shows up when you say
• If I can’t do a full workout, I won’t do anything
• If I made one mistake, the whole day is ruined
• If I can’t give 100 percent, I’ll give zero

The problem is that this mindset blocks progress and builds unnecessary pressure. Real growth happens in the middle space where consistency matters more than perfection.

When you let go of all or nothing thinking, you allow yourself to try, learn and move forward without fear.

There are still many myths around therapy that stop people from getting the help they actually need. Let’s break a few of them.

Myth 1
The therapist tells you what to do.
Therapy isn’t about giving orders. It’s a space where you understand your thoughts, feelings and patterns so you can make informed choices. Your therapist guides you, but the decisions are always in your control.

Myth 2
Therapy is only for mad people.
Therapy is for anyone who wants support, clarity or emotional balance. It helps with stress, relationships, decision making, self-esteem and everyday struggles. You don’t need a crisis to seek help.

Myth 3
Therapy lasts forever.
Therapy is goal based. You work on specific concerns and once those goals are met, you step out with tools that support you even after the sessions end. Some people come for short term work, some take longer, but it’s always flexible.

When you understand what therapy truly is, it becomes a resource rather than something to fear or avoid.

Guilt and shame feel similar but they affect your mind in very different ways.

Guilt comes from a specific action. You did something that doesn’t match your values and your mind is nudging you to correct it. Guilt can actually guide you towards change, accountability and repair.

Shame is heavier. Shame tells you that you are the problem. Instead of focusing on the behaviour, it attacks your sense of self. Shame makes you hide, withdraw and doubt your worth, even when the situation can be worked through.

When you understand the difference, you stop punishing yourself for being human and start responding with clarity.

Here is how you can work through it
• Notice the emotion and name it.
• Ask yourself if this feeling is about the action or about your identity.
• If it is guilt, take a step to repair or correct it.
• If it is shame, remind yourself that one moment doesn’t define you.
• Speak to someone you trust or explore it in therapy so you don’t carry it alone.

Understanding this difference helps you reduce self-blame and move towards healthier emotional processing.

Resentment in relationships doesn’t show up suddenly. It builds quietly when small moments of hurt go unspoken, when needs stay unmet and when you keep adjusting more than you can emotionally afford.

It often grows when

1. You feel like you are giving more than you receive
2. Your efforts are unnoticed or taken for granted
3. You settle to avoid arguments
4. Your emotional needs are dismissed or minimised
5. Promises are made but not followed through
6. You keep hoping your partner will “just understand” without communication

With time, these repeated moments create distance. You start feeling irritated, withdrawn or emotionally shut down. Even a small comment can feel overwhelming because it sits on top of months of unexpressed hurt.

Resentment doesn’t mean the relationship is broken. It means something inside you needs attention.
It heals when communication becomes honest, when boundaries are clear and when both partners take responsibility for what they bring into the relationship.

Therapy can help you understand these patterns, express your needs without guilt and rebuild connection in a healthier and more secure way.

If you notice yourself feeling heavier around your partner, it might be a sign to pause, talk and reconnect with clarity.

Mental filtering is when your mind picks one negative detail and treats it like the whole truth. You may ignore praise, progress, or small wins and hold on to just one difficult moment. Over time this creates self-doubt, worry and a very harsh inner voice.

What helps is slowing down and checking the full picture. Ask yourself
• What else happened today
• What did I do well
• Am I ignoring evidence that shows I am improving
• Is this thought based only on emotion

When you balance the story, your mind becomes fairer and your self-talk becomes kinder.

Signs your workplace has become toxic

1. Extreme Sunday scaries
When the weekend doesn’t feel like rest anymore and the thought of Monday fills you with worry or heaviness. You spend most of your Sunday thinking about work instead of living your life.

2. Constant fear of feedback
You feel anxious every time someone says they want to talk. Even simple feedback feels like a threat. You start overworking or people-pleasing just to avoid criticism.

3. Emotional withdrawal
You stop feeling connected to your work. You go numb, avoid conversations, and stay quiet because it feels safer than being noticed.

4. Physical symptoms
Your body starts warning you before your mind does. Headaches, fatigue, stomach discomfort, irritability and sleep issues become routine because your system is always on alert.

Sometimes what we feel isn’t what’s actually true.
When emotions run high, our mind starts racing — assuming, predicting, and catastrophizing.
A single message left on “seen,” a delayed reply, or a change in tone can send us spiraling. But those are feelings, not facts.

Emotional racing happens when your thoughts move faster than logic — your brain fills in gaps with stories that match your emotional state, not reality.
That’s why a temporary feeling of rejection can feel like abandonment, or mild irritation can feel like someone’s entire attitude has changed.

Pause.
Ask yourself — what’s the evidence? What else could be true?
Your emotions deserve attention, but not automatic belief.

Ever catch yourself worrying about the same thing all day?
The moment you wake up, it’s there. While working, it sneaks in. Even before sleeping, it loops again.

That’s where the Worry Window Technique can help.
Set aside 15–20 minutes in your day to actually *worry*.
Yes, you read that right — allow yourself to think, overthink, write, vent, or process everything that’s been bothering you… but only during that window.

When a thought comes up outside that time, gently tell yourself,
“Not now. I’ll deal with this during my worry window.”

You’ll be surprised how often the things that felt urgent lose their weight once you revisit them later.
It’s not about avoiding your worries — it’s about giving them a space, instead of letting them take up your whole day.

What’s the worst mental health advice you’ve ever received?
Mine was — ‘Just stay positive.’

Sometimes people mean well, but toxic positivity can silence real pain. Healing isn’t about ignoring what hurts, it’s about understanding it.

Let’s normalize honest conversations about what doesn’t help too.
