Targeted
We proceeded to my office for our session, and she immediately noticed the new art on my wall. Over the years, I've created numerous abstract pieces of trauma art that represent the work I do with my clients, and I like to hang them on my walls for inspiration.

The Psychology of Bullying: What Drives Aggression and How We Can Break the Cycle
Introduction: Why Understanding Bullying Matters Bullying is more than just a series of isolated incidents of aggression or cruelty. It is a psychological, social, and sometimes systemic phenomenon that has lasting effects on both the victims and the perpetrators.

I Tried to Meditate and Accidentally Summoned a Panic Attack
The Great Meditation Experiment (Or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Chaos) Let me set the scene: It’s 3 AM. I’ve just watched a YouTube video titled "10 Minutes to Inner Peace!" featuring a man who looks like he’s never once stressed-eaten an entire pizza while crying over a spreadsheet. Inspired, I sit cross-legged on my floor, close my eyes, and prepare to ascend to a higher plane of existence.

She Grew Anyway - part 2
Before starting...... Missed Part 1? Click Here So Now Priscilla was one year old left all alone. Her grandmother came forward to take care of her. After her mother's death, her grandfather stopped drinking alcohol, and by that time he almost wasted all his wealth on drinking alcohol and gambling. Both grandparents loved her very much as they saw their daughter in her. When she was nine years old, they celebrated her birthday in very grand manner. Priscilla did not know how her mother look like and she did not have any memory of her. In those days photos also were very uncommon, so she really knew nothing about her mother. She considered her grandparents were her own parents. She was enjoying life happily ignoring her past. She thought she was really blessed having that life.

The Stranger Who Listened When No One Else Would
There are moments in life when you feel completely invisible. When the noise around you is so loud, yet you feel unheard. Like you’re shouting in an empty room, hoping someone—anyone—will finally listen. For me, that moment came on an ordinary evening that turned out to be anything but.

What Is Self-Compassion and Why It’s More Helpful Than Self-Esteem
Introduction In a world where achievement, performance, and confidence are often seen as the keys to happiness and success, self-esteem has long been touted as a central pillar of mental well-being. Schools, therapists, and even motivational speakers have emphasized the need to "boost self-esteem" to feel better, be more resilient, and thrive in relationships and careers. But what if the constant quest for self-esteem leaves us more vulnerable, more anxious, and more self-critical?

This is the story of a girl baby who lost her mother to suicide when she was only a year old and left by her dad. The story of survival, rejection, resilience and a divine protection.
