If you’ve ever had a random, disturbing image pop into your head — one that makes you wince or pause in your tracks — you’re not alone. For years, I thought I was just being dramatic. A violent car crash, a sudden fall from a balcony, someone I love getting hurt — these visuals would…
For years, I didn’t have a name for what I was feeling. It wasn’t just nerves or stress. It was the kind of anxiety that crept in before anything even happened. I’d lie awake the night before a simple meeting, stomach in knots, my mind spinning worst-case scenarios. If you’ve been there too, you might…
It wasn’t until I found myself dreading even casual conversations at work that I realized something was off. I’d overthink simple interactions—”Did I say that right?”, “Do they think I’m awkward?”—and this constant loop made everyday situations exhausting. If you’re someone who blushes at the idea of speaking in public or avoids eye contact out…
I used to think anxiety was just occasional nerves before big events. You know, like job interviews or public speaking. But over time, I noticed those feelings creeping into the ordinary parts of my day—opening emails, going to the grocery store, or even scrolling social media.

Ever felt your heart race before a big presentation, or found yourself wide awake at 3 AM running through worst-case scenarios in your head? Yeah, me too.

I still remember the strange sense of unreality after my car accident—my heart racing, hands trembling, and the eerie quietness that followed. But what…
If you’ve ever found yourself going out of your way to avoid dogs, elevators, heights, flying, or even clowns—you’re not alone. I remember literally skipping out on a job interview once just because the building had a glass elevator. Sounds irrational? Maybe. But that’s the power of a specific phobia. It’s more than just fear—it’s…
Ever found yourself lying awake at 3 AM, staring at the ceiling, overthinking a conversation from three days ago? Yeah, same here. Worry is part of life—like that friend who overstays their welcome but somehow you’ve just learned to live with. But what happens when that worry sticks around, grows roots, and refuses to leave…
There was a time when the thought of therapy made me cringe. I imagined sterile rooms, endless talking, and no progress. But when my anxiety hit its peak—racing thoughts, pounding chest, waking up in full-blown panic—I knew something had to change. That’s when I stumbled onto EMDR therapy. At first, it sounded like something out…
