Sometimes we forget that being human isn’t something to fix, it’s something to feel through 💗.

You’re not a problem that needs solving. You’re a person who has possibly carried more than some people will ever see, and that can take its own toll. Feeling tired, lost, or overwhelmed doesn’t mean something is wrong with you, it may mean that you’ve been trying your best for a long time.

Healing isn’t about transforming into someone entirely new 🌱.
It’s about slowly returning to the parts of yourself that you had to set aside just to get through. The soft parts. The hopeful parts. The parts that haven’t had enough space, time, or warmth in a while.

You’re not behind. You’re not broken. You’re just finding your way back home to yourself, gently, patiently, one breath at a time ✨🤍

Guilt is one of those emotions that can feel heavy, almost like it’s wrapping itself around your chest. But guilt isn’t meant to punish you. More often, it’s your mind’s way of saying, “Something here matters to me.” 💛

Guilt can point toward your values, your capacity to care, and the parts of you that want to do better. Sometimes it invites repair, and other times it simply asks you to grow, learn, or soften toward yourself. 🤝

Not every mistake can be undone, and not every moment needs to define who you are. You are allowed to hold yourself gently while also taking responsibility.

When we treat guilt as information, not a life sentence, it can shift into something more empowering: clarity, accountability, and self-compassion.

It’s okay to feel it. It’s also okay to heal from it 💫💛

Sometimes the truth feels like a tightrope, and for those who struggle with compulsive lying, staying balanced can feel almost impossible.

In our latest blog gently unpack what compulsive lying really is.

💭 Inside the blog, we explore:
• Why compulsive lying isn’t simply “choosing to lie,” but often tied to deeper emotional patterns
• How the brain’s reward system can reinforce habitual dishonesty
• The difference between impulsive lies, habitual lies, and pathological lying
¡ How these patterns can form as coping mechanisms
• What healing can look like, both for the person struggling and the people affected

This blog is written with compassion, curiosity, and science at its core. Whether you’re personally navigating this, supporting someone who is, or simply wanting to understand human behavior more deeply, you’re not alone, and this post is for you. 💗

Just a genuine question 🥸

🕯 As the days grow ever so shorter and the nights longer, many of us feel the weight of the darkening season, especially those living far from home.

For expats, this time of year can stir up feelings of loneliness or nostalgia. Yet, it also offers a precious opportunity to create light, both literally and emotionally, in small, intentional ways.

Try bringing warmth to your space with familiar habits or rituals from your own culture:
🌙 - Light a candle or some incense that reminds you of home.
🌙 - Cook a comforting dish from your childhood.
🌙 - Listen to music or stories that connect you to your roots.
🌙 - Share these traditions with friends around you, connection can bridge the distance.

Psychologically, familiar sensory experiences help soothe our nervous system and remind us that we belong, even in unfamiliar places. The light we create, both within and around us, helps us stay grounded and hopeful.

So as November unfolds, ask yourself:
- What brings you a sense of comfort and light?
- How can you make space for warmth in your home, your routines, your relationships?

Even in the darkest months, there’s always a spark waiting to be kindled. 🌠

Sometimes, progress doesn’t look like big leaps, but instead, it might look like getting out of bed when it feels heavy, answering one email, taking a mindful breath, or simply showing up for yourself today. 🌷

These quiet moments matter. They’re signs of healing, growth, and resilience, even when no one’s clapping for them.

As psychologists, we often remind our clients (and ourselves) that small steps are still steps forward. You’re doing more than enough, even on the days that feel slow. 💌

Take a deep breath… you’re doing beautifully. 🤍👏

Regret has a way of echoing, replaying moments we wish had gone differently, convincing us we “should have known better.” 🤷🤷

But the truth is, every decision we made was the best we could do with the awareness, resources, and courage we had at that moment.

💜 What we often call regret is really the mind’s way of showing us how much we’ve grown since then, how our perspective has expanded, how our values have shifted. Feeling regret doesn’t mean we failed; it means we care.

💜 Instead of fighting it, what if we could meet regret with compassion? To see it not as something to erase, but as a gentle reminder of our humanity, proof that we’re learning, evolving, becoming.

💜 In our latest blog, we dive deeper into how to hold space for regret without letting it define us, and how understanding it can bring us closer to self-kindness and growth.

Grief and shock don’t follow a rulebook 💛 Healing isn’t linear, and there’s no single “right” way to cope. Some days you might feel okay, and others might feel impossible, and that’s normal.

When we experience loss or shock, our minds and bodies are trying to find safety again. It’s okay if that process looks messy. It’s okay if you need rest, quiet, or connection. What helps one person may not help another, and that’s perfectly human.

Be gentle with yourself as you move through it, you’re not broken, you’re healing in real time. 🌿

🌤 As the days grow shorter and darker, many people feel their energy and motivation dip. It’s easy to slip into survival mode; doing what needs to be done while joy quietly falls to the bottom of the list. But moments of joy aren’t luxuries; they’re essential for emotional regulation, resilience, and overall well-being.

🌤 Even small, intentional moments, noticing a patch of sunlight, a favorite song, or sharing a laugh, remind your brain that life holds warmth and meaning beyond the to-do list.

You don’t have to earn joy, and it doesn’t have to take much time. Just 30 seconds of something that makes you smile can help reset your nervous system and replenish your emotional energy.

✨ Protect your small joys like appointments for your mental health, because they are!✨

When trust feels hard, it’s often your mind trying to protect you from past pain, staying alert even when you’re safe now. It’s not weakness, just protection that’s become overactive.

In those moments you can ease your mind by asking: “Is this fear from the past, or a signal from the present?” - This can help you pause and reconnect with what’s real right now.

🗣️ Share your feelings, not just your suspicions.
Saying “I feel uneasy because of past experiences” invites understanding, not defensiveness.

💭 When doubt arises, ask: “What facts support this fear?”
This can bring you back to clarity and calm.

It's also helpful to try to remember; someone else’s mistakes don’t define your future.
Take a deep breath, notice where you are, and remind yourself: I’m safe, I’m growing, I’m allowed to trust again. 💛

Ever notice how our first instinct with painful feelings is to escape them? We scroll, distract, stay busy, anything to avoid the discomfort. But what if the real healing happens when we stop running? 💭☂

In our latest blog, we explore why staying present with difficult emotions can actually make you stronger, and how to start doing it safely and compassionately. ☔

Learn simple practices like mindful breathing, journaling, and self-compassion that can help you sit with your feelings rather than fight them.

Your emotions aren’t enemies, they’re messengers. When you listen, you can also begin to heal.

🌊 Grief doesn’t mean you’ve stopped moving, it just means your journey has changed. Like a river after a storm, the water may feel heavy and unclear, but beneath it, your current; your strength, your essence, continues to flow. 💗

Healing isn’t about rushing to clarity; it’s about trusting that, with time, the waters will settle and your direction will become visible again. Be gentle with yourself in the in-between. You’re still flowing forward. 🌷
