When we use our bodies to say the words, we can't say out loud..
Have you ever asked yourself what self-harm means? Why would one inflict pain on oneself? Well, look no further, self harm refers to inflicting pain in oneself without the intention of dying. The intention is always to let out what we are experiencing or have experienced, and we feel that this is the only way that works for us. I hope that your knowledge of self-harm provokes feelings of empathy for everyone out there who would need your help. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/martha-apendi/message

Are our minds protecting us?
Cognitive defusion is a technique used in acceptance and commitment therapy that involves noticing our thoughts rather than becoming caught up in them. It helps us create space between our thoughts and feelings and ourselves so that they can not influence us. The techniques include mindfully watching, just noticing, repeating thoughts, among others. Remember, the aim is not to avoid our thoughts but to create room for them. Imagine what happens when you try to chase away a bee buzzing around you. It stings you, but you let it buzz around peacefully, notice it is just doing its movementsπ well aft...

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?.
