Discover What Truly Heals You

-


In a recent discussion, some individuals shared that therapy sometimes left them feeling worse, as their therapists didn’t seem to fully grasp their experiences or traumas. It's important to acknowledge that traditional therapy is not universally effective; it may not be the right approach for everyone.

Healing can take many forms. For some, it involves engaging in creative activities like taking an art class, enjoying a walk in nature, or connecting with others who have similar experiences. What works for one person may not work for another, and that’s perfectly okay. If a particular method doesn’t resonate with you, don’t be discouraged—explore alternative options.

Personally, I find healing through helping others. Writing uplifting quotes or offering support brings me a sense of fulfillment and recovery. However, this approach may not suit everyone. The key is to invest time in understanding yourself and discovering what methods or activities contribute to your well-being.

Remember, your experiences and traumas are unique, even if they are not unprecedented. Healing is not about fixing yourself but rather about finding ways to feel better and grow. Take proactive steps towards your well-being, even if the journey is challenging. You are not beyond repair; you are on a path to self-discovery and improvement.

    Yes, most of us don't know ourselves well and cannot explain to others how we feel or what is happening in our bodies. I was at a hospital the other day and overhead a conversation between two ladies, one asked the other what was her problem at coming to see the doctor, and her response was like 'I don't know ooo'. How will the doctor exactly what treatment to give her.

The Painful Reality of Life: When the Rain Stops, the Umbrella Becomes a Burden

-

Life often teaches us some of its harshest lessons through the simplest of metaphors. Consider the umbrella, a faithful companion during a storm. It shelters us, keeps us dry, and provides comfort against the elements. But once the rain ceases, that very umbrella, so crucial moments ago, becomes a cumbersome burden. This transition captures a painful truth about loyalty and human relationships: when the benefits cease, so too does the loyalty. In our lives, many people flock to us not for who we are but for the value we bring and the benefits they can derive from us. They thrive on the opportunities, support, and advantages we offer. As long as we are useful, as long as we can provide shelter from life's storms, we are cherished and needed. But when the rain stops—when the benefits diminish—these same people often disappear, leaving us to ponder the true nature of our connections. This realization can be incredibly disheartening. We yearn for genuine relationships, for loyalty that...

Who’s Worth the Pain

  The truth is everybody is going to hurt you at some point. No matter how much love, loyalty, or effort you give, people are human, and humans make mistakes. They’ll disappoint you, misunderstand you, and sometimes even break your heart. Your best friend might forget to show up when you need them most. A partner you trusted might say something that cuts deep. A family member might not understand your dreams, and their words might sting more than they realize. But that’s not the point of life or love. The real question is: who is worth suffering for? Because some people come into your life and leave behind scars, while others leave behind lessons. Some take from you and walk away, leaving you emptier than before. But a few, a precious few will stay. Even after the arguments, the distance, and the silence… they’ll come back. They’ll own their flaws. They’ll apologize, not because they have to, but because they care enough to try again. They’ll remind you that love isn’t perfe...

Welcome to Nigeria, Where Opinions Come with Expiry Dates

As I was reading the comments about Tuface Idibia and Natasha, I honestly had to pause and ask myself: What exactly is wrong with people on this social media space? The hypocrisy is so loud it should have its own BVN. 😂 All of a sudden, Annie Idibia don turns angel Gabriel’s PA. The same Nigerians that dragged her like faulty Keke brake are now pretending she’s the standard for sainthood. Abeg, Nigerians will confuse even Google Maps. Nigeria is a comedy club disguised as a nation. One minute they are moral judges, the next minute they are motivational speakers, then by evening they are FBI agents with fake evidence. Nobody switches character faster than a Nigerian on social media. 😂 But let me talk to the men in the back: Please, protect your peace like your life depends on it because it actually does. If you break down, these same people will type “Omo, eyaaa. Stay strong bro 🙏🏽” while drinking cold malt and dragging someone else. 😂 Don’t let anyone stress you especially...
