We are very excited to launch this retreat which we have been doing it for ourselves personally for years. It came up as a casual idea that's totally for our own use. It was so helpful that we kept doing it every year (and sometimes twice a year...). So we thought why not share it with you? Come join us!

Do you talk to your Self?
Of course you do! :)
It comes in the forms of your thoughts.

The more important question is HOW do you talk to yourself? If your self-talk is positive and encouraging, that is healthy.👍🏻

But if your self-talk is putting you down, pointing out to you what is wrong with you or in your life, then this is the Inner Critic 😈 you'd want to tame before it totally crushes your self-esteem and self-worth.

Our negative self-talk is mostly developed from our earlier experiences with our main caregivers (e.g., parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles etc). Most of our caregivers didn't mean to hurt us. It's just that no one is perfect and that includes our parents.

Is it possible to heal?
Yes! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
We strongly believe in healing of your emotional wounds. We know it is possible from our own experiences as well as our clients'.

You can start with:
1) being aware of how you are talking to yourself and
2) slowly choosing to be nurturing (instead of critical) towards your Inner Child

For deeper self-discovery and healing, give yourself the gift of therapy. Because you deserve to enjoy a better life inside out. 😄

There is this (inaccurate) idea in many people's minds that if someone is in therapy, then they must be "weak" or "their life must be quite bad". For this group of people, therapy is a last resort.

But that's not how we treat our physical health, so why are we putting our mental health in the back seat? For instance, do you wait until you are obese before you start exercising? Then, why should we wait to be depressed or paralyzed with anxiety before we would finally carve space for our emotions?

Our client has pointed out something important that we want to share with you. There is an evolution that is quietly but definitely happening. Younger people are investing in strengthening their mental health. They are far from being weak. They understand the importance of embracing their emotions. And that's how they move ahead in life.

Therapy is not for the weak, are you willing to embrace yourself and feel the strength from within? :)

"The biggest parts of healing and making myself whole is to accept all of the many parts of myself"

Louise Hay

Do you know the different parts of your Self? Who brings out the Happy Child in you? When does your Angry Child usually get triggered? Therapy has helped me see all my wounded parts and accepting all of these parts is helping me feel more at whole. It dawns on me that there is a reason why there is a "hole" in "whole"; it's only when we accept our broken parts that we become complete again.

Often, we have clients who wondered whether there is something "wrong" about them for needing therapy. Actually, therapy is not only for people who are depressed or anxious. There are also high functioning individuals who seek therapy on a regular basis because it helps them perform at work and enjoy more in their personal relationships.

Psst! Psychologists also seek therapy too. Using the analogy in this comic strip, "personal trainers" also need to exercise to keep fit, you know!

Mind Reading is one of the psychological traps that we get ourselves into.

What is it?
When you think you know what other people are thinking

Example 1:
Your boss gives you another project to manage. You think your boss thinks you are skiving at home while working from home.

Example 2:
A lady you met for a date didn't return your text message after a date. You think she must find you disgusting and is too polite to tell you in your face.

Example 3:
Someone yawned while you were talking. You think this person finds you boring.

Why this is unhealthy for us?
- we may end up trapping ourselves in our own beliefs
- we begin to then act in a way that fits the way we think (e.g., avoiding talking to a first date) leading to the eventual outcome we dread (i.e., self-fulfilling prophecy)
- fun fact: most if not all socially anxious individuals are prone to mind reading.

So you want to be more confident? Catch your mind-reading thoughts! They are so not sexy.

All-or-nothing thinking is one of the psychological traps that we get ourselves into.

What is it?
You see everything as either black or white, there doesn’t seem to be anything in between!

Example 1:
You may have a disagreement with a friend and think to yourself ‘that’s it – I don't want to be friends any more’.

Example 2:
If you fall short of perfect, then you see yourself as a total failure.

Example 3:
Getting 70% in a maths test may cause you to think ‘I never get anything right – I’m going to give up maths’.

Why this is unhealthy for us?
- we may end up nowhere because we are not realistic in our goals
- it is harder to manage our feelings because everything just seems bigger than it actually is
- it is easy to feel hopeless, disappointed, and demoralized with ourselves when we apply it to ourselves
- we tend to feel frustrated, dissatisfied, and resentful when we apply it to others

The way you think will determine a lot of things in your life. Look out for this space for a series of psychological traps that we get ourselves into.

Counselling is for the "weak" is a common myth. The truth is some therapy seekers are high flyers who understand the importance of using therapy to get ahead in life!

For those who are down in life though, they might miss an opportunity to help themselves if they (erroneously) think doing so means they are weak or because they don't want to be seen as weak by others.

We think this is such an inaccurate belief (and should be outdated by now). Let's de-stigmatize mental health and therapy! How? Update your beliefs-people who seek therapy are people who seek self-improvement!
