No matter what happens in your life, who comes into it, who stays or who walks away, you will always have yourself. Your relationship with yourself is the most important relationship you’ll ever have 🩵 no amount of time spent deepening that connection is ever wasted ✨

Choose Yourself

At the end of the day, when the noise fades and the world grows still, we’re left with the one person we can never walk away from—ourselves. Beneath the masks we wear, the roles we play, and the weight we carry for others, there's a quiet truth that waits to be acknowledged. It's in those late-night moments, when the room is dark and our thoughts grow loud, that we feel the full weight of who we are—our hopes, our hurts, our silent battles. No matter how much we try to run, we always return to the core of ourselves, seeking peace, forgiveness, and maybe just a little bit of grace.

Because at the end of the day, it’s not about who we impressed, what we achieved, or how perfectly we performed. It’s about whether we were honest with our hearts, kind to our spirit, and brave enough to keep going. Some days we shine, other days we simply survive—and both are worthy of pride. We are the only ones who know how hard it was to keep going, to show up, to choose love over bitterness. And in that quiet, sacred space where the day ends, we begin again—with ourselves, and that is enough.

Shocking how poor access to mental healthcare is for the majority of South Africans 💔

Shocking how poor access to mental healthcare is for the majority of South Africans 💔

[COMING UP] A staggering 92% of South Africans with mental health conditions aren’t getting the treatment they need. A new study looks at ways to improve access and the challenges still in the way. We speak to Wits University’s Saira Abdulla for more.

Yes, we all come into relationships with baggage, there’s no question about that. But does your partner add to it or help to make it lighter? That’s what can make or break a marriage or relationship, whether you choose to leave or stay ✨

Thank you The Gottman Institute 🙏🏻

Westpsych - Psychologists can help you and your partner to unpack what’s heavy to carry and help you both to learn how to lovingly support one another, so that you grow together instead of apart 🩵✨

100% TRUE.

Leave a legacy of love ❤️🥰

Leave a legacy of love ❤️🥰

Just as pain can ripple through generations, so can peace. Just as wounds can be passed down, so can wisdom.

The patterns we repeat shape our legacy — but so do the ones we break.

When we choose presence over avoidance, compassion over criticism, connection over control… we plant seeds our children will one day harvest.

This is how cycles shift.
This is how we become the ancestors they’ll thank, not recover from.
And this is how love becomes the legacy.

You get to decide what you will pass down.
Love sounds pretty good to me. ❤️

Brain Working Recursive Therapy (BWRT) - the scientific brain-based therapy of the future.
If you are struggling with anxiety, panic disorders, depression, trauma or pretty much any other mental health problem, BWRT is a powerful therapy to help the brain to find new and more functional responses to old "fight/flight/freeze" coping mechanisms. You are welcome to book an appointment if you would like to give BWRT a try!

Dr. Ed Tronick talks about his ground-breaking "Still Face" Experiment. This was taken from a presentation he gave.

The pandemic of loneliness and neglect has taken a new form in the Techno age. Let us be mindful and intentional to turn towards each other. To see, to hear to engage.
The 'still face experiment' examines the devastating effect the withholding of engagement can have on our loved one's nervous systems.

Parents, open your eyes.

A teacher was grading homework. Her husband, meanwhile, was walking around the house glued to his smartphone, immersed in his usual game.

When she reached the last paper, the teacher began to cry silently.

— "What’s wrong?" — her husband asked, surprised.

With tears in her eyes, she replied:
— "I had asked my students to write an essay titled 'My Wish.' The last one broke my heart..."

Curious, the husband asked:
— "What did it say?"

The wife began to read:

"My wish is to become a smartphone. My parents love their smartphones so much. They hold them, take them everywhere, and look at them for hours. When Dad comes home from work, he talks to his phone—but not to me. If it rings, they pick it up immediately, but if I cry… they often don’t listen. They play with their phone, but not with me. When I speak, they don’t hear me… because they’re talking to someone through the screen. That’s why I… really wish I could be a smartphone."

The husband fell silent. Then he asked:
— "Who wrote this?"

The wife looked him in the eyes.

— "Our son."

No further words were needed.

Children don’t ask for much. Just presence, love, and attention.

Phones can be recharged. Childhood memories cannot.

Turn off your phone.
Turn on your heart. ❤️
