As a counsellor and fellow human being, I've noticed that the concept of "acceptance" can be new and difficult for many of us.

(A friendly reminder that social media is not therapy; please seek professional counselling services if you're experiencing a crisis.)

"Responding" is a conscious choice whereas "reacting" is immediate and instinctive. Knowing how to respond wisely and effectively often starts with awareness, such as having sufficient knowledge of what you are facing or knowing what your important values are.

However, in certain situations, we may not know how to respond and instead react to protect ourselves and our ego. This might cause us to regret our actions and have a sense of losing control or helplessness.

If you would like to seek professional help for learning to respond more and react less, feel free to get in touch with me today!

Breaking the silence, youths share candidly with CNA Insider about their struggles with depression, self-harm and trauma – and about persevering on the sometimes-bumpy road to finding help and healing.

There can be good and bad reasons for giving people a second chance in relationships. For a start, just because you still love them (or fear dying alone) does not necessarily mean that you should give them a second chance, especially if they've already broken your trust repeatedly.

If you've been hard on yourself, perhaps it's time to pause and take a step back, to see whether these thoughts are helping you or serving your purpose. And if you want to but can't stop worrying, criticising or blaming yourself, speaking with a mental health professional could help you to cope better and get some fresh perspectives to move forward.
