"Kailangan ba talagang may kasamang takot ang pagmamahal?"

We grew up hearing “para sa ikabubuti mo ‘yan.” But pain isn't the only way to teach.

At Gensan Psych, we believe in parenting with respect, not fear.
Because what we model becomes what they carry.

💬 This Father’s Day, we ask: What kind of love are we passing on?
Let’s raise kind, emotionally healthy kids — without shame, without hurt.

👨‍👧‍👦 Discipline can be firm and compassionate at the same time.

This Father’s Day, we honor the men who raised us — and we gently challenge ourselves to do even better. 💚

From presence over pressure, to love that doesn’t need to be earned — these are the new legacies we can choose.

📩 Message us if you'd like to book a 1:1 consult. Whether you’re a dad, partner, or just someone trying to heal — we’re here for you.

🌈 Love is for everyone.

At Gensan Psych, we’ve seen how affirming love, safety, and belonging can change lives. This Pride Month, we honor all forms of love — romantic, platonic, familial, and chosen. Because love that heals doesn’t ask you to shrink or hide. It sees you, fully. And it says: you are worthy.

Let’s build a world where care isn’t conditional.

💚 You’re welcome here. Always.

If you have an hour to spare, or even while you're doing your own thing, listen to this conversation on millennial fatherhood as Dr. Kevin talks about:

-The transition (joys, fears, doubts) from single man to being a father
-How to break the cycle of toxic masculinity when it comes to our sons
-Why he doesn't believe in physical punishment as a form of discipline for our kids

Happy Father's Day po sa lahat 💚

👨‍👦‍👦 “Hindi lang haligi ng tahanan. Hindi lang taga-discipline. The modern Filipino Tatay is present, emotionally tuned in, and unafraid to raise with a heart.” 💙

This Saturday on Mind Matters: Conversations on Mental Health (via Facebook Live), our very own Dr. Kevin Veneracion will be joining the show —psychiatrist, mental health advocate, and proud dad to a joyful two-year-old boy.

Join us for a heartwarming and eye-opening conversation as Dr. Kevin shares his personal journey into fatherhood:
✨ From the emotional shifts of becoming a young Tatay
✨ To breaking free from toxic masculinity while raising a kind, expressive son
✨ To balancing work, self-care, and gentle, intentional parenting

💬 Expect real talk on:
✔️ The surprising realities of early fatherhood
✔️ Parenting with empathy—without shouting or spanking
✔️ Letting go of harmful traditions while honoring our roots
✔️ Modeling vulnerability, respect, and love
✔️ The quiet joys—and loud challenges—of being a hands-on, evolving dad

📍 Saturday | 11:00 AM – 12:00 NN
📻 Radyo Magasin – 1278 AM
🎙️ Mind Matters: Conversations on Mental Health

Whether you’re a dad, future Tatay, or simply cheering on one—you won’t want to miss this empowering and deeply human conversation. 💛

📌 Mark your calendars.
🔁 Share with a father you admire.
💭 And let’s keep redefining what it truly means to be a great Tatay.

We’ve been keeping a little secret. 🫣
But it’s time to let you in.

We’re building a physical space for Gensan Psych Mental Health Hub. A home for healing, growth, and meaningful conversations.

When we started Gensan Psych, our goal was simple: to make mental health care more accessible. But over time, we realized—access isn’t the only challenge. Confidence is, too. The courage to reach out. The comfort of knowing there’s a safe place waiting for you.

This space is our next step.
A place where you can walk in and feel seen.
Where 1:1 sessions happen face to face.
Where we can host workshops, community talks, art therapy sessions, film screenings, even acoustic nights—because healing comes in many forms.

Because healing should never be out of reach.

📍Coming soon to General Santos City.
Let’s build this together.

Addiction isn’t always what you think.
It’s not just about substances—it’s also about patterns that take over our lives: gaming, binge eating, excessive scrolling, gambling.

Understanding addiction is the first step to healing. 🌱

✨ If you or someone you care about is struggling, know that support is here.
📩 Book a private consultation with Gensan Psych today.
Let’s talk. Let’s heal. Together.

Mother’s Day can bring up a mix of emotions—and that’s okay.

Our relationship with our moms shapes so much of who we are: how we love, how we feel safe, how we see ourselves. For some, this day is filled with gratitude. For others, it brings up grief, hurt, or longing.

✨ Swipe through to explore how our relationship with mom shapes us, what the “mother wound” looks like, and how we can begin to mother ourselves today.

And if today feels heavy—you don’t have to go through it alone. Reach out to someone you trust, or message us at Gensan Psych Mental Health Hub.

💬 What’s one thing you wish your mom knew about you? Feel free to share in the comments (or just keep it as a quiet reflection for yourself).

🌿 Discovering Yourself, One Step at a Time 🌿

Yesterday, the GenSan Psych team had the privilege of holding a whole-day workshop on mental health and self-discovery as part of Tara; Kape: Conversations on Mental Health by the Sangguniang Kabataan Federation of General Santos City and the Youth Affairs and Development Office.

We explored how social media shapes our self-worth, discussed ways to use it more mindfully (like taking breaks, curating who you follow, and surrounding yourself with people who inspire you), and reflected on our personal journeys using the Hero’s Journey framework as a guide for growth and resilience.

🧠 Mental health education for teens is so important—because helping young people understand themselves, their emotions, and their personal stories builds resilience, compassion, and a stronger foundation for a mindful, empowered generation.

Here’s to more spaces like this, where young people can gather, reflect, and be reminded: your journey matters. 💛
