Think about the dynamics you bring to your own therapy space. How does this influence your process & progress? If you’re in constant crisis, there is no space to get into the deeper work. But also remember that there is value in having a venting session. It doesn’t always have to be deep. As psychologists, we will meet the client where they’re at. This video is depicting what would happen when a client is venting as a pattern in order to avoid the deeper work. #consciouspsychology #psychologist #therapy #relationships #therapistsontiktok #psychology #psychoanalysis #heal #MentalHealth

Unpopular opinion, but a lot of the time a child behaviour is a reflection of their caregivers parenting style, home environment & additionally, the mental health of their caregivers. This is NOT to blame parents or make you feel bad but simply become curious as to how you impact your kids. If you’re becoming defensive about this video, perhaps thats something to reflect on. Please remember this is not *always* the case. I am also not referring to ADHD, autism or neurodivergence. Also, my response to a parent will never be like this. This is just a TikTok.

Enabling can be a very dysfunctional relationship pattern that can be seen in any relationship, not just mother & son. However, it is also riddled with strong emotions such as fear, guilt, shame & empathy, so breaking away from this pattern can be a really challenging process. I hold so much space for mothers who are enablers. Western media & pop psychology have simplified this mother-son dynamic & almost ridiculed it (because it causes so many further familial issues so understandable) but in the same breath, we need to acknowledge & understand why this dynamic happens in the first place. It comes from love & care but evolves into something that becomes detrimental for everyone involved. Have you ever been an enabler for someone? 💭 ° ° #consciouspsychology #browntiktok #desi #indian #southafrica #southafricatiktok🇿🇦 #psychologist #MentalHealth #codependency #therapytiktok #therapistsoftiktok

And I see this more & more in my practice where couples seem to have longer & more fulfilling marriages when the decision wasnt solely emotional. Your thoughts? 💭 #consciouspsychology #marriage #Relationship #relationshipgoals #psychology #therapytiktok #therapy #psychologist

Repression is a defense mechanism that involves blocking or withholding unpleasant thoughts, memories, emotions, or impulses from the conscious mind. #consciouspsychology #therapy #therapistsontiktok #psychology #trauma #hypnosis #memories #psychologyfacts #psychologist #therapytok

Overachieving becomes our whole personality & although it helps us succeed, it isn’t void of anxiety, depression, burnout, relationship issues etc. #overachiever #anxiety #MentalHealth #browntiktok #desi #desitiktok #browngirl #southafrica #psychology #therapy #therapistsoftiktok
