- Mental Health Wellness Jan 7 · 10m Are we people pleasers!For many of us settings goals means staying away from some people. We always talk about setting boundaries but we never talk about how challenging it can be, to do something where we have to prioritize our feelings instead of the people we value, how we always try to manipulate the situations so that everything is always good, peaceful. But what we should ask ourselves is for how long can we really put up being people pleasers?, for how long are we going to keep others happy at the expense of our feelings?. I hope this episode speaks to you. Happy new year 3023 sorry 2023 I am already in the future 😂. Cheers!0 comments0

- Did you know that Optimism and pessimism can be learned?Learned Optimism(L.O) which is the opposite of learned helplessness concepts in positive psychology developed by clinical psychologist Martin Seligman with L.O being able to recognize and challenge our negative self talks believing that we can change our attitudes and behaviors. L.O is practiced by using the ABDBE method borrowed from cognitive behavioral therapy and rational emotive therapy. And this is an approach that I use in solving my problems.

- Are you dealing with a narcissistic parent?Do you have a narcissistic parent? Leaving my episode that talk about narcissism as a personality disorder , today I talk about the identifiers of a narcissistic parent, although not every parents have narcissistic tendencies it is not uncommon for a mother and father to express narcissistic tendencies and these parents tend to deny their children independence even as an adult, they would be controlling, self absorbed, blaming, unaware of their children's needs and the effects of their behaviors on their children, intolerant of others views which may go as far as demanding certain behaviors from their children. Hope it's insightful, enjoy!0 comments0
- As a technique for dealing with stress, anxiety and physical symptoms.It's a deep relaxation exercise and or technique targeting one muscle group at a time which involves noticing the difference between the tensed and relaxed muscles, either beginning with the lower to the upper body or from the upper to the lower body. It should be done in a quiet place free from distractions. It's one of the very many relaxation exercises that is said to be able to help reduce anxiety symptoms. It can be difficult doing the first time however with continuous practice it reaps a lot of benefits. Enjoy! Adios..0 comments0

- Nyctophobia which is the extreme fear of darkness!By talking about it, it's a first step for me to dealing with this fear. Phobias are persistent and excessive fear of objects, situations and activities. Fear of the dark being one of the common types of phobia though it's common among children, it can affect adults, young adults as well. Fear of the dark is common however if it disturbs your daily life like difficulty sleeping, going to certain work engagements because of the fear of leaving the house in the dark, then it becomes a problem and can be treated with therapy, however they are ways to dealing with it. Always here to help each other. Adios!0 comments0

- Because children are unique, so is how they express their unique experiences.Any life threatening event that affects a child's daily life that is physically, psychologically an socially can lead to childhood trauma. And young children respond differently than older children for example where an infant will be clingy young child will be distant and isolate. And all these symptoms if a child isn't attended to they might affect them till adulthood. Hope you enjoy this episode.0 comments0

- Can you put a stop negative thoughts?Thoughts are opinion and ideas we have of ourselves and the world around us, and we need to learn how to deal with these thoughts so that they don't overwhelm our days because being aware of our thoughts helps us change them and we can still do this on our own by ourselves. By identifying our thoughts, replacing our negative with positive thoughts, being kind to ourselves and learning how to accept or receive criticism which by the way can help us get feedback about ourselves.0 comments0
- Could it be being self confident or self absorbed?Narcissism is more than just being self absorbed and self confident, it's being excessively self involved without any concern for other's needs, feelings and emotions, it involves feelings of grandiose those the person is vulnerable maybe as a result of childhood neglect or Marginalized expectations on them. It is rare for the individual to know the effect of their behavior on others.0 comments0
