Trauma recovery is kind of my thing. So when a recent trauma threw me, I thought bouncing back would be no biggie.
Falling back into trauma
Disappointing my younger self or growing into future me?
I don't miss much from the country I grew up in. I'm only missing the space between the notable events and people.
How to stop repressing your emotions!
The people here in the UK are known to have a stiff upper lip; they hold back on showing their feelings as emotional public displays are discouraged. But why is that dangerous?
Perpetual fight response and anger management issues
While stuck in traffic last Sunday, my friends and I realised that anger is nothing more than being stuck perpetually in our fight response. Why do some things always get the better of us?
How movement can heal your trauma
In the mind-body school of trauma, movement is a staple to recovery. Often we associate bodily sensations with danger, so we disassociate. But gentle movement therapy can help!
What does unhealed trauma look like?
When I was still in the midst of it, I thought trauma could never be healed. But now I can see how trauma is not a life sentence!
What if we DID choose our parents?
I was thinking about the cycle of suffering we go through, blaming our behaviour on our childhood. Can a little thought experiment free us from resentment?
Why you have more in common with Paris than you thought
I did not expect to cry watching Paris Hilton's new documentary "This Is Paris". It did not just touch nostalgia, but also trauma.
Addicted to love: Dependency in relationships
Can I see others for who they truly are, or for who I want them to be? Too often we equate dependency with love.
Is it routine or is it habit?
This year has been habit-breaking and habit-inducing at the same time. Not only did I beat a decade old addiction, I have also built new routines of healthy self-soothing.
