"Am I bad enough to need this?" is the question I most often get asked. It tells me that the person asking it has probably been managing something for longer than they should have to. That they have normalised a level of internal noise that they would not accept in any other area of their life. That the threshold they have set for "needing help" is set so high that they will cross it only at significant cost.

You are the person who handles the crisis. You are the one who pushes through. But while you are managing the big things, what is happening with the small things? You normalise discomfort. The problem is that these small suppressions work like compound interest. They accumulate. And what starts as a small signal eventually grows into an insurmountable obstacle: burnout, resentment, or somatic pain.

Understand the significance of healing both conscious and subconscious pains for your overall well-being.

Are you reacting or responding to life?These two words represent two very different approaches of engaging with life events and with life itself.

A new self-development programme shows significant improvements in depression up to 3 months later.

I still hear the admonitions as if it were yesterday. “Wear a hat, it’s cold and you’ll get sick” “Cover yourself or you’ll catch a...

The Valuable Time of Maturity - Poem by Mário de Andrade I counted my years and discovered that I have less time to live going forward than I have lived until now

It's painful to recognise that at some level I am a slave of the tools I surround myself with.

This article will address a typically Asian phenomenon, 'tiger parenting', however, it is my experience that people from the West are...

One of the main reasons I see people failing their resolutions is because they committed to too much.

Be gracious like a swift in flight, use your wings to give direction to your life. Take rest when necessary and stop flapping, but always remember they are your decisions.

It takes courage to sit still for a moment and look within... really look within. Only few are willing to take a moment of pause and look at that part of us that we know is there, is suffering, is calling for attention, but that it is too painful to intentionally look at. And yet, it is from those moments, and by looking in the abyss, that we often emerge renewed...

The fact that we don't talk about sex and relationships does not make the suffering people experience because of them less serious or less important. As the awareness and acceptance of this suffering are so low, the first step must be that of bringing it to light. And it is within this light that I see my work as more important than ever.

The moral is that whether we see it or not, life always has some shit falling from the sky and at all times we concurrently are its producer and its receiver. Accepting that we play both roles gives us the chance to be skilful and helpful in many life situations.

Whoever you are, whatever your dream is START NOW!!!!!! Many of us delay the decisions that we know in our deepest of deeps we want to take. We make excuses…financial ones, familial ones, cultural, religious and physical ones.

It’s so easy to look in the mirror and think, rightly or wrongly, that we are a failure. We are constantly judging ourselves by the standards that others have placed upon us.

One of the most frequent questions sexologists get asked around the world is, “Am I normal?” For this article I have chosen to address this question through the lens of sexual orientation.

Your uniqueness is already within you; it’s just layered by years and years of distracting stuff. Start peeling the layers off and you’ll find it!

There are life lessons that come to us when we least expect them. The child within is a wonderful part of us that will never abandon us, and that will always require some level of attention. Caring and looking after the child within helps us integrate ourselves into fuller human beings.

Our lives are conditioned by other people's scripts. We grow up being told what to do, what to say and ultimately what to be. We need to snap out of this collective trance, and become the leaders of our live, both at work and in our relationships.
