The future isn’t promised. It’s shaped by those who dare to care, speak, and act. And we do. And we will.

Excellent reading about the cult of Gabor Mate and #trauma. "Western societies have increasingly medicalized suffering, replacing concepts like personal responsibility and agency with narratives of victimhood." afurtherinquiry.substack.com/p/the-cult-o... #TherapistSky #PsySciSky

On this #InternationalWomensDay, we honor the strength, resilience, and courage of all women - cis and trans - everywhere. It's a reminder that our #mentalhealth matters, and our voices are powerful. Strength in unity! We rise! 💪🏻💙 #IWD2025 #TherapistSky #PsySciSky

Does anyone have any good news to share? #TherapistSky #PsySciSky

BREAKING: MSF strongly denounces Israel’s announcement to block aid into Gaza. Humanitarian aid should never be used as a tool of war. Regardless of negotiations between warring parties, people in Gaza still need an immediate and massive scale-up of humanitarian supplies.

Word of the day: Fremdschämen. That's a beautiful German word for the deep, secondhand embarrassment you feel when someone humiliates themselves, especially when they have no clue. And yes, that’s exactly how I felt watching those two clown bullies yesterday. #Cringe #PsySciSky #TherapistSky

Me waiting to see the German election exit polls. #Bundestagswahl #TherapistSky #PsySciSky

Human rights and mental health go hand in hand. A world that values dignity, equality, and freedom is one where mental well-being thrives. Advocate for both - everyone deserves respect, care, and a chance to live without fear.💙 Take care of yourself and others. #TherapistSky #PsySciSky #HumanRights

Making mistakes isn't a problem. Learning from them and moving forward is a part of life. Everyone makes mistakes.

Language matters when discussing #mentalhealth. The words we use shape how we understand these issues. For instance, "died by suicide" is respectful, compassionate & non-stigmatizing. It acknowledges mental health struggles, avoiding language that may blame or judge. #PsySciSky #TherapistSky

Somehow, I’ve hit 1k followers, and now I feel the pressure to sound relevant or smart. Anyone else? Should I start posting inspirational quotes or just stick to winging it? Thanks for following! 💕 Also, I like an inspirational quote every once in a while. #TherapistSky #PsySciSky #MentalHealthSky

Every now and then, there’s a discussion among experts about which therapy approach is better. However, there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. Therapy is a deeply personal and individual experience. We should not only focus on the method, but also the therapeutic alliance. #TherapistSky #PsySciSky

Unresolved anger is a sign of violated boundaries. It can result in chronic tension, stored trauma, and emotional numbness in the body. It is unexpressed grief without a destination. This energy needs a constructive way to release to set the body and mind free. #therapistsky
