Therapy is not about erasing the past, it’s about freeing yourself from the weight of old memories, thoughts, and emotions—so you can step forward lighter, clearer, and wiser into your future.

People scream or yell as a response to intense emotional arousal, often when overwhelmed by feelings such as anger, fear, frustration, or pain.
From a psychological perspective , this behavior can stem from dysregulated emotional processing, where verbal outbursts serve as a release mechanism. Yelling may also function as a learned behavior for asserting control, seeking attention, or expressing unmet needs.
Additionally, from an evolutionary perspective, screaming is a survival mechanism used to signal danger or mobilize support.
In close relationships, it may reflect deeper attachment insecurities or unresolved internal conflicts.

Overthinking keeps you stuck.
Failure teaches growth.
Don’t be afraid to fail—progress comes from doing, not doubting.

The strength of any relationship—whether between lovers, friends, or even adversaries—rests on perspective-taking. Our brains are wired for self-preservation, but emotional intelligence calls us to go deeper: to pause, reflect, and ask, “How is the other person experiencing me?”

It’s not just about what we say or do—it’s about how it’s perceived. This ability to mentally step into the other’s shoes fosters empathy, reduces conflict, and deepens human connection.

Relationships grow not by agreement, but by mutual understanding.

I often remind clients that meaningful change—whether in our personal lives or the world around us—begins with inner awareness.

To change the world, we must first be willing to change how we see it. That means becoming flexible in our perspective, open to discomfort, and able to view life through multiple lenses.

Tools such as self-compassion, mindfulness, and intentional breathing techniques are essential practices that foster self-awareness. They help us slow down, observe our internal patterns, and respond rather than react.

True transformation starts within. 🌿
