"When you were a child, every child must have felt a fall when learning to walk, or when your father trained you to ride a bicycle, of course if you fell in both then you would cry. Everyone must feel the fear of being hurt, that's normal my friend, you are a full human being who has the right to feel that way."

We are incredibly proud to share that our Lead Psychologist, Ainah Albania, has recently published her research. Her paper, titled "𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐧𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐬: 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐭𝐡 𝐀𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝐕𝐢𝐨𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 (𝐈𝐏𝐕) 𝐨𝐟 𝐅𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐨 𝐖𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧," is featured in the 𝘎𝘭𝘰𝘣𝘢𝘭 𝘑𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘰𝘧 𝘈𝘳𝘵𝘴, 𝘏𝘶𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘚𝘰𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘚𝘤𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘴, published by the 𝘌𝘶𝘳𝘰𝘱𝘦𝘢𝘯 𝘊𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘙𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘩 𝘛𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘋𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘰𝘱𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 - 𝘜𝘒.⁣⁣ This significant work underscores her unwavering commitment to advocating for and understanding the experiences of abuse victims, particularly in the context of intimate partner violence.
⁣⁣
Addressing a critical gap in local literature, the study meticulously delves into the lived experiences of Filipino women who have endured intimate partner violence, examining its psychological impact, the factors influencing their psychological growth, and the distinct domains of posttraumatic growth they achieve. Through in-depth thematic analysis, the research illuminates the journey from trauma to recovery, offering valuable clinical implications for support and intervention. We highly encourage you to explore the full paper to gain deeper insights into this vital work, accessible via its DOI: https://doi.org/10.37745/gjahss.2013/vol13n7129.

Too often, we treat emotional well-being as something secondary, a luxury we can't afford, when in reality, prioritizing it yields immense returns across every facet of your life – from relationships and career to overall joy and resilience. Investing in your mental health means building a stronger foundation for yourself, fostering clarity, and equipping you with the tools to navigate life's inevitable challenges more effectively, rather than just reacting to crises.
​
Recognizing this investment is the first step, and if you find yourself needing guidance on this journey, please know that our clinic is here to support you. We offer professional counselling and psychotherapy services designed to help you thrive. Don't hesitate to prioritize your most valuable asset.

Your mental health deserves as much attention and care as your physical health! 🌱 In today's fast-paced world, it's easy to feel overwhelmed, but remember, there are practical steps you can take to nurture your well-being.
​
Here's 4 essential ways to take care of your mental health:
​
Prioritize Mental Health: Make it non-negotiable. Schedule "me-time" like you would any other important appointment. Acknowledging its importance is the first step.
​
Move Your Body: Even a short walk or light exercise can release endorphins, reduce stress, and improve your mood. Find movement you enjoy, whether it's dancing, yoga, or a walk in nature. 🚶‍♀️
​
Unplug and Recharge: In our always-on world, it's vital to disconnect from screens and digital demands. Create space for quiet reflection, hobbies, or simply being present. Give your mind a break! 🔋
​
Set Healthy Boundaries with People: Protecting your energy is crucial. Learning to say "no" when necessary and communicating your limits helps preserve your emotional and mental reserves. Your boundaries are a form of self-respect.
​
While these tips are a wonderful foundation for daily well-being, we understand that sometimes, navigating mental health challenges requires more specialized support. If you find yourself needing a safe space to explore your feelings, develop coping strategies, or simply talk things through with a professional, our clinic is here for you.
​
We offer confidential counselling and psychotherapy services designed to provide personalized guidance and support on your journey towards better mental health. You don't have to go through it alone.
