How Do We (Actually) View Therapy?

Across our region, many adults were taught to stay composed, stay grateful, handle things quietly, and solve things privately. Emotional struggle often feels like something to be hidden, not explored.

This is an invitation to reframe, to begin seeing therapy as a form of responsibility.
Seeking therapy is part of how we show up for ourselves and for the people around us. It’s choosing to understand how our past experiences, emotions, and stress responses shape the way we communicate, parent, lead, and connect.

When we take the time to process and heal, we break patterns that are not serving us or those around us.

At ATIC, we see therapy as a meaningful act of accountability, an ongoing commitment to growth, awareness, and healthier relationships.

✨ Take the first step toward understanding and healing.

In the quest for personal growth and psychological well-being, self-reflection serves as a guiding light toward self-discovery and authenticity.
Rooted in the teachings of Carl Jung and core psychological principles, this practice helps us unlock the depths of our psyche and build resilience through life’s challenges.

Here are three actionable insights to deepen your self-reflection:
1️⃣ Cultivate Mindful Awareness: Create quiet moments for journaling or meditation. Presence without judgment opens the door to understanding.
2️⃣ Embrace the Shadow: Confront the hidden parts of yourself with compassion; they are part of your wholeness.
3️⃣ Engage in Dialogue: Speak with trusted confidants or therapists. Honest communication brings clarity and growth.

The journey of self-reflection is not about perfection , it’s about awareness, courage, and authenticity.

If you’re ready to explore your inner world and deepen your self-awareness, our therapists at ATIC are here to guide you.

3 Things That Helped Me Break Resistant Habits

Struggling with habits that just won’t budge? Here are three simple strategies that make a big difference:

1️⃣ Approach with curiosity, not judgment – Ask “Why am I doing this?” instead of “What’s wrong with me?”
2️⃣ Replace the habit before trying to stop it completely – Swap it with a healthier or more fulfilling alternative.
3️⃣ Create barriers – Make the habit harder to access so you naturally engage with it less.

💡 Small shifts in mindset and environment can lead to powerful change.

At ATIC, our experts are here to support your wellbeing journey with compassion, clarity, and practical guidance.

Coping Strategies for Life Transitions

Life transitions, whether planned or unexpected, can feel overwhelming.
Starting a new job, becoming a parent, relocating, graduating, or even healing from loss, each shift can stir up mixed emotions.

Even positive changes can bring stress because they challenge our routines, identity, and sense of stability.

Here are a few coping strategies to help ground you during times of transition:
✨ Talk it out – Share how you’re feeling with someone you trust. Naming emotions helps you process them.
✨ Maintain routines – Even small daily rituals can create a sense of safety and normalcy.
✨ Prioritize rest and regulation – Sleep, movement, and mindful breathing support emotional balance.
✨ Give yourself time – Adjusting doesn’t happen overnight. Go at your own pace.
✨ Reflect on your strengths – Remember other times you’ve adapted. You’ve done hard things before.

Transitions are part of life’s rhythm, sometimes messy, often meaningful.
You don’t need to have it all together to move forward.

If you’re navigating a big change and need support, our therapists at ATIC can help you find balance and strength through transition.

How Can Couple Therapy Help Rebuild Trust in a Relationship?

Trust is one of the foundations of a strong relationship but when it’s broken, rebuilding it can feel overwhelming.
Couples therapy provides a structured space to work through this process with guidance and support.

Here’s how it helps:

✔ Understanding What Led to the Break – Therapy helps both partners explore what contributed to the loss of trust and address underlying issues rather than just the surface-level event.

✔ Creating Open and Honest Communication – A therapist facilitates conversations where both partners can express emotions, clarify misunderstandings, and rebuild emotional safety.

✔ Setting Clear Steps Toward Repair – Rebuilding trust isn’t about empty promises; therapy helps define actionable steps to regain confidence in each other.

✔ Strengthening Emotional Connection - Trust isn’t just about words consistent actions, emotional attunement, and accountability play a key role in restoring it. Therapy helps couples reconnect on a deeper level.

✨ If you and your partner are ready to rebuild trust and reconnect, our couples therapists are here to help.

Why Change Feels Hard (Even When It’s Good)

Ever found yourself resisting change even when it’s something you wanted? A new job, a healthier routine, a fresh start... and yet, there’s discomfort, doubt, or even fear.

That’s because change, even positive change, asks us to step outside our comfort zone. It disrupts our familiar patterns, and the brain interprets “new” as “uncertain.” And uncertainty?
That’s often read as danger.

Our nervous system prefers what’s predictable even if it’s not ideal.
We grieve the old while adjusting to the new.
Growth requires letting go, which can feel vulnerable.

If you’re navigating change right now, be kind to yourself. Remember discomfort often means growth is happening.

✨ Need support through a life transition?
Our therapists at ATIC can help you navigate change with clarity, confidence, and compassion.

ATIC’s Story

ATIC Psychological and Counselling Center originated out of Singapore, opening its doors in 2010. Our founders, Sara Powell and Theresa Ng, opened the center in order to educate, promote and provide Psychotherapy – with a specialization in Expressive Therapies – services to the community. Their shared passion for the Arts and therapeutic practices brought ATIC Psychological and Counselling Center to life.

We are a social impact community driven company built on the intention of expanding the social care sector, diversifying the services (Art and Expressive Therapies) currently available in the UAE. The drive to do so can be linked to Founder Sara Powell’s heavy connections and love for the region, having grown up in Dubai and having family – through marriage – from the UAE and Gulf.
