Me when Eurovision starts. 😁 #Eurovision #ESC #TherapistSky

A classic - it's that time of the year. 🇪🇺🪩🕺💃 #Eurovision #ESC

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

An important point to keep in mind.

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

Adding to this list based on feedback from Blueskiers (thank you all!): ADHD, boundaries, emotional dysregulation, "everyone's on the spectrum", narcissist, splitting, projecting, complex PTSD, complex trauma, and "going nonverbal". Any other frequently misused psychological terms?
