It’s easy to assume that school, friends, or social media are the biggest stressors in a teen’s life… but this may not be the case. Most teens say their hardest battles happen at home.

- 61% of teens report being emotionally hurt by a parent
- 28% live with a parent struggling with mental health

This isn’t about blame—it’s about raising awareness. Parenting is tough, and no one gets it perfect. But reflection helps.

✨ Ask yourself:
➡️ What did I need from my parents that I didn’t get?
➡️ What might my child need from me right now?

National OCD Awareness Week is one month away!!

Every October, communities around the world come together to raise awareness about Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) — a condition that affects millions but is still often misunderstood.

OCD is more than being “organized” or “clean.” It involves intrusive, distressing thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviours (compulsions) that can feel impossible to control. This can take a huge toll on daily life, relationships, and mental health.

At Lotus Counselling, we’re proud to support OCD Awareness Week (October 12–18, 2025) alongside the International OCD Foundation.

Let’s use this week (and every week) to break stigma, spread knowledge, and support those living with OCD. 💙

📅 Mark your calendars: October 12–18, 2025

✨ Self-care and stress relief look different for everyone.

For some, it’s a long bath, for others, it’s a walk outside.

Therapy terms, decoded.
CBT. DBT. ERP. What do they actually mean—and which might fit you?

Save this mini cheat sheet for later and share with someone who could use it.

🧠 CBT helps you spot unhelpful thoughts and build healthier habits.

💬 DBT blends acceptance + change with skills for emotion regulation and relationships.

🌊 ERP (gold standard for OCD) helps you face fears without engaging in compulsions.

Healing isn’t always a straight line forward. Sometimes it looks like resting when your body needs it, saying no without guilt, or allowing yourself to feel emotions and recover quicker than before.

Progress doesn’t always mean big leaps—it can be softer, smaller shifts that show you’re growing in ways that matter.

✨ Be gentle with yourself. You’re healing, even if it doesn’t always look like progress.

Just here to say cuddles are officially therapeutic and yes, I am accepting snuggles this week.

Also, someone tell Marvel I’m the new social media manager now.
