You might think your inner critic is your identity, but it's just a part of you that can change.

Becoming aware of this inherited voice unlocks the possibility for change. Schema therapy shows us that these critics are learned patterns for survival, making sense of pain, or seeking approval.

Healing is not about silencing the inner critic overnight. It involves consistently meeting it with compassion, identifying where these beliefs came from, exploring their impact, and intentionally choosing new ways of responding, again and again.

You’re not broken. You’re unlearning, healing, and finding your way back to your authentic self. 💌

Ever feel stuck, no matter how much therapy you try?
You’re not alone. 🫂

Schema therapy helps people who grew up with unmet needs or painful experiences, like criticism or neglect, that still affect them today.

Through techniques like imagery, chair work, and role-play, schema therapy helps you rewrite these deep inner messages, making change possible.

These old patterns can become so strong that they hold us back from the connections and happiness we want.

Take an active role and explore Schema Therapy. What new ideas or concepts did you learn? 👀

Guess I need a real therapist after this breakup 🙂

Anyway...what’s your order for surviving today?

Most people treat rest as something they'll get to eventually, after the deadline, after the project, after things slow down.

But your brain does not follow a schedule, it follows cycles. Every 90 minutes your brain moves through a peak focus phase and then signals for recovery, through loss of focus, mind wandering, or fatigue. And when those cycles are ignored, your concentration, creativity, and emotional regulation are the first things to go.

The goal is not to sacrifice your rest and do more, but to rest well enough that what you do actually counts.

Deliberate rest is one of the highest-leverage things you can do for your performance. It's where your brain consolidates, recharges, and prepares for what's next.

📝 So whatever is on your to-do list today, make sure protecting your rest is on it too.

We're conditioned to celebrate the sprint, the all-nighter, the massive effort, the dramatic push. But that is not sustainable. 

You can push hard for a week, maybe two, but without recovery, without rhythm, without a pace you can actually maintain, it eventually costs you more than it gives you. 

The people who make the most progress over time aren't the ones who go the hardest but the ones who keep showing up, steadily, consistently, even when it's small.

Same direction. Every day. That's the strategy. 

Save it for the next time you feel pressure to do everything at once 🎯

Dancing is apparently good for mental health so I took it seriously 😉

Just when I decided to heal… here we go again 🙃 Can you relate?

From a young age, men are taught to push through, stay quiet, and figure it out alone. And most do, until they can't anymore. 

Male depression rarely looks like sadness. It looks like anger, withdrawal, overworking, or just going quiet. It gets missed because it does not look the way we expect it to.

3 out of 4 people who die by su***de are men, because too many never felt like they had permission to ask for help.

Let’s try to change this conversation. 
Reaching out is not a weakness. It is the hardest and bravest thing you can do.

Women are nearly twice as likely to experience anxiety and depression and yet so much of it goes unseen, because women are experts at keeping it together on the outside. 

The emotional labour, the pressure to be everything for everyone, the hormonal shifts that nobody talks about, the perfectionism that was never really a choice. Quietly, constantly, it adds up.

The women who seem the most okay are often the ones carrying the most. That is why this Mental Health Awareness Month, we want you to know that you don't have to earn rest, and you don't have to be in crisis to deserve support.

👭 Check on the women in your life today. They are probably holding more than you'll ever see.
