In current times when therapy jargon has become popular it is extremely important to get to the depth of the concepts and not just superficially apply them.

Having boundaries are supposed to make the relationships better and richer and not the other way round.

When you draw a boundary its primary purpose is to save the “relationship” by having equal space for both people in it.
It’s not about saving yourself at the cost of the other.

We must be gentle, respectful and compassionate in drawing our boundaries so we treat the other as a human being with feelings too!
Yes, in the beginning your boundaries will be challenged and pushed but we are to continue sticking to them firmly but kindly.

Like Prentis Hemphill beautifully put it, “Boundaries are the distance at which I can love you and me simultaneously.”

Openly burdened by expectations, silently killed with guilt and regret.

Lives of first borns in Asian families is often filled anxiety, pressure, loneliness and guilt.

Often lacking ‘generation appropriate’ guidance from the adults around them, they have no choice but to engage in ‘trial and error’ for many important life decisions.

The struggle lies with them not allowing the “error” out of the “trial and error” because throughout their lives they were unfairly expected to “just know”, “just do”, “just succeed”, “think of their siblings”, “think of their parents”.
They started believing it was their responsibility.

It takes a while to break out of these belief shackles but it’s possible and absolutely necessary.

Breaking the “shoulds” of your belief system as the oldest child of the family will in fact help you to come closer to your loved ones. Yes, it does take courage and patience but it is totally worth it!

Some part of our experiences in relationships is under our control.
What we can change for the better we must work towards.
People that love you will make you feel it. They will encourage the growth and positive changes. The will motivate you to be kinder and compassionate to yourself.
When you contemplate on the thoughts mentioned above and practice accordingly you might just filter such people and learn to cherish them and also evolve in those relationships.

Let’s get one thing straight—therapy won’t ‘fix’ you. And that’s actually a good thing. Because you were never broken to begin with.

Therapy isn’t a magic switch that makes life easy or stops bad days from happening. It won’t erase your anxiety, stop overthinking forever, or turn you into some ‘perfect’ version of yourself. But what it will do is help you navigate life differently. It’ll teach you how to sit with uncomfortable emotions instead of running from them. How to notice patterns instead of repeating them. How to set boundaries, communicate your needs, and—most importantly—be kinder to yourself.

So no, therapy won’t make you a whole new person. But maybe you don’t need to be one. Maybe you just need to learn how to show up for the person you already are. And that’s a pretty big win

Ever walked into a grocery store for just one thing and somehow ended up with a basket full of stuff you didn’t even plan to buy?

Mental health is kind of like that. You want to stock up on good vibes, motivation, and positivity… but somehow, stress, self-doubt, and anxiety sneak their way in too. It’s not always intentional, but it happens.

Not everything in your basket belongs there. Healing isn’t about forcing yourself to only pick the “right” things—it’s about making small, mindful choices, one item at a time. So… what’s in your mental grocery cart today?

When you think of therapy, do you picture lying on a couch, talking about your childhood, or decoding why you dreamt about your ex? Sure, that can be part of it—but it’s not the whole picture.

Therapy can be about the here and now—like figuring out why that job you once dreamt of feels draining, how to stop overanalyzing texts (yes, even the ones left on ‘seen’), or how to cope when life feels like a never-ending to-do list. Sometimes, it’s just about carving out one hour where you can finally exhale and focus on you.

No pressure. No overanalyzing. Just a space to make sense of what’s on your mind. Because you deserve that.

Celebrating the ones who love us at our messiest.

Why ask for help when you can just pretend you’ve got it all together?

We know it’s Valentine’s Day. 💌

And while the world is busy romanticizing grand gestures and Instagrammable love stories, let’s talk about something just as important—real connection.

Not the “they just get me without me saying a word” kind. But the kind that takes effort. Vulnerability. Actually showing up for the people in your life.

Because deep connections aren’t built on mind-reading—they’re built on communication.

So whether you’re celebrating with a partner, your friends, or just yourself today, maybe take a second to check in. Ask. Listen. Share. Because love—real love—isn’t about who understands you instantly. It’s about who you let in. 💙
