“He Told Me I Was Too Broken to Be Loved—So I Made It My Mission to Prove Him Wrong”
I remember the exact moment the words left his mouth. We were standing in the living room of the apartment we had shared for nearly two years. It was supposed to be just another fight — one of many that week — but this time, he didn’t hold back. He looked me dead in the eyes, as if what he was about to say would somehow free him of responsibility.

Escaping the Matrix. Content Warning.
We’ve all heard it: go to school, get a degree, land a good job, work hard for a few decades, and then retire in peace. That’s the blueprint. That’s what success is supposed to look like.

Jim Morrison was right, people are strange!
Jim Morrison was right, people are strange! What is it about humans that we seem to “want” to attract drama into our lives?! Feelings of animosity are never enjoyable so why on earth do we so often not only entertain them but willingly attract them into our sphere of being?!

Mentality: The Flight Beyond the Wound
The sky was a quiet battlefield that morning—clouds thick with the weight of storm and silence. Wind rustled with whispers, not yet fierce, but not forgiving either. Upon a single taut wire strung between two crooked poles, a hawk perched—majestic, wounded, and still.

The Art of Seduction by Robert Greene: A Deep Dive into the Psychology of Influence
Robert Greene’s The Art of Seduction is often misunderstood as simply a book about romantic manipulation. In reality, it is a profound psychological exploration of power, influence, and human behavior. Through historical examples and archetypal analysis, Greene uncovers how individuals have long used charm, persuasion, and emotional intelligence to captivate others—not just romantically, but socially and politically as well.

You Don’t Need to Conquer Public Speaking Fear: You Just Need to Change Your Approach
Fear of public speaking is one of the most common issues I see in therapy. Clients don’t usually start by saying that’s their issue—they might talk about anxiety, perfectionism, or feeling “stuck” in work or school. However, when we dig deeper, the fear of speaking up in front of others shows up again and again.

The Secret Science of Your Deepest Bonds
Ever wondered what truly electrifies the spark between two people, transforming a glance into a lifelong journey? Or what magic lies in a simple touch, making it feel like the universe has aligned? It's more than just emotion; it's a silent, powerful symphony orchestrated by your brain, your body, and your heart. From the first blush of attraction to the profound comfort of a loving embrace, human connection speaks a language beyond words. And perhaps, no single gesture articulates this language more universally, yet mysteriously, than a kiss. This isn't just about romance; it's about the incredible, hidden psychology that builds our deepest bonds, revealing the secret science of why we connect, and how even the smallest acts of intimacy hold immense power.

Under the Gaze: The Psychology of Social Pressure
Introduction To be human is to live in relation to others. From birth to adulthood, our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are continuously shaped by the people and norms around us. While this interconnectedness is fundamental to development, belonging, and social survival, it also carries an invisible weight: the pressure to conform, to meet expectations, and to perform according to standards often beyond our control. This phenomenon, known as social pressure, is not just a matter of peer influence or societal rules—it is a psychological force that deeply impacts our identity formation, decision-making, and emotional well-being.

I Was a Victim of Fake Happiness — But Now I Know What Joy Means. Content Warning.
by Asadullah Azimi For most of my adult life, I wore a smile that didn’t belong to me. People around me saw what I wanted them to see — someone calm, positive, always collected. “You’re such a happy person,” they’d say. “You’re so strong.” And I would nod, smile wider, and play along. But behind closed doors, in the quiet moments, I was a stranger to myself. That smile — the one that looked so genuine — had become a mask I couldn't remove.

The Silent Struggle
You’d never know by looking at her. She smiled in every group photo. She showed up to work early, responded to texts with emojis, and never missed a birthday. Her Instagram stories were full of sunsets, coffee mugs, and carefully filtered “I’m fine” moments.

Crawling Back To You
More times than I can count, I've sat wondering who I truly was beneath all of the shame. I wondered if I was brilliant or if I was truly destined to remain in this child-like state of confusion. Walking the world wondering my purpose as I hide in the shadows of who I knew I wasn't, yet who I'd always been. I'd been dripping in a victimhood so carefully built by those around me who claimed that their love for me meant more than what society views love and friendship as today. I spent so much time in the comfort of being the victim that I hadn't paid any attention to the fact that while these people were building this victimhood, I was handing them the nails and hammer.
