What to Expect in Your First Trauma Therapy Appointment. AI-Generated.
Starting Trauma Therapy can feel overwhelming. You might be unsure about what will happen, how much you’ll need to share, or even if you’ll feel safe enough to talk about your experiences. The truth is-many people feel nervous before their first session. I’ve been there too, sitting in the waiting room with a racing heart, wondering if I made the right choice. The good news is, your first appointment isn’t about reliving everything at once. It’s about building trust, setting goals, and giving yourself permission to take the first step toward healing.

Do You Love Yourself?
Stop having to be right, correcting others, giving advice without being asked, complaining, or telling people what they "should" be doing. Take a breath, look in the mirror, and say, I love you. Say that every day until it becomes a natural part of your repertoire to respect your boundaries, your body, and your mental health. Allow others the dignity to respect theirs.

The Connection Between Sleep and Depression
I had never really believed that there was a link between sleep and depression until I experienced it first-hand during COVID-19 times.

Echoes in the Void: Finding Connection in a Disconnected World
There are moments in life when silence feels heavier than words. You sit in a room filled with noise—buzzing notifications, endless scrolling feeds, voices from a screen—but inside, there is only stillness. It is the kind of silence that does not soothe but suffocates.

When Silence Follows You
Being late never used to bother me. But today, it feels heavier than bad timing—it feels like fate. The university library stretches before me, polished tiles gleaming under harsh fluorescent lights. Every sound seems amplified. My shoes scuff against the floor. My breath bounces back at me. Even the faint creak of a shelf seems to shout in the emptiness. In this antiseptic quiet, I am listening. Straining. Waiting. Because here, silence isn’t safety. Silence is a trap.

The Echo of Silence
The Echo of Silence Evelyn sat in the dimly lit room, her hands resting on the oak desk where old letters lay scattered. The silence of the house pressed against her like a suffocating blanket. She had always feared silence, not because it was empty, but because it was never truly empty. For Evelyn, silence had a voice.

I Tried the Viral ‘Bed Rotting’ Trend for a Week – Here’s What Actually Happened to My Mental Health
When TikTok Convinced Me to Become a Professional Couch Potato So there I was, Sunday night at 11 PM, doing that thing we all do – pretending to be productive while actually watching TikToks about people who gave up on productivity entirely.

They call me the persecutor. The harsh one. The voice that cuts deep when the world feels too soft, too trusting, too naive.

A Message to The Villain: Flood the world with light. Content Warning.
I wish I could put the world into a snow globe. Water and glycerin so I could make it all happen ploddingly. All the evil so I could rub it away, it’ll be my genie. I would wish for the thought of killing to turn into legends, myths and tales. Events would pause in words, and would only go on when you turn the page.
