The spring is coming, the weather is opening up, however, most of us are still going through the covid lockdown restrictions according to the different local or national regulations. And it doesn’t matter if these restrictions are softer or harder, what matters is that they have a common denominator and that’s the “covid burnout”.
I’m coming every day in contact with people who feel like they have reached their limits and they cannot deal anymore with all the changes that this covid-era has brought.

"The price of being a sheep is boredom. The price of being a wolf is loneliness. Choose one or the other with great care".- Hugh Macleod
Understanding your emotions well enough can help you take measurable plus actionable steps in order to connect with others and in turn protect your own mental health. Over the last few months, several people have been confined to their homes in order to curb and disorient the spread of the virus in the COVID’19 crisis! Please understand that while some people are living with family, friends or even roommates, others might even be living alone. There are many of us who even might be missing our friends, family members and relatives and at times, we might even find ourselves feeling lonely, isolated, or more so bored.

Hello everyone and Happy December!
As some of you may already know, I recently became a new mom and after taking some time off to rest, take care of the little one and adjust to the new reality, I had the opportunity to reflect upon parenting so that’s what I will be sharing with you in this blog.
Parenting is the process of assisting a child’s physical, emotional, cognitive and social development from infancy to adulthood. It might seem simple; however, parenting is a very complex process that doesn’t come with a manual! Nowadays, new parents/caregivers have more access to available sources and can learn a lot on how to more efficiently parent their kids in comparison to previous generations. However, no matter how much information and sources one can accumulate, when it comes down to the core of parenting, everyone is on their own.

Hello everyone!
Through my work I very often come in contact with people who have experienced some kind of toxic or unhealthy parenting. Some of these people are aware of the negative effects this kind of parenting had in their lives, so they come to therapy in order to learn new ways and break free from all the limiting patterns they learned in the past.

Hello everyone,
These are some strange times we are living in!
Today, the whole world’s attention has been collectively drawn to COVID-19. Dealing with the unknown and trying to find our way through it, has stirred up things emotionally and mentally. Many people find themselves not only worrying for their physical health, but also struggling with lots of anxiety, depression and hopelessness.

The Giver, the Carer and the Fixer: the codependent’s story
Written by Holistic Awareness
When we are kids, we are dependent on our parents to take care of both our physical and our emotional needs. In order to “learn how to fly”, we need their validation when we go through a wide range of emotions and their supportive love to help us process and regulate them. We need them to see us, hear us and acknowledge us for who we truly are in order for us to learn how to trust ourselves and have a good sense of our own self-worth. And it is through this mirroring that we are then able to develop a healthy relationship and a healthy dialogue with our own inner self.

Well…who isn’t? Trauma-drama is the biggest addiction of our times!
Trauma-drama addiction takes place daily in our lives and it takes many shapes and forms, some of which are gossiping, complaining about people and situations, getting involved in fights (emotional-physical), holding grudges, betraying, being betrayed or setting up any relationships like that so as to play either the victim or the perpetrator. And when that’s not enough dramatic, you only need to open your tv or your social media to come across the global trauma-drama chaos…wars, disasters, global warming, murders, abuse, rapes and the list goes on and oooon.

"6 Self-Loving Tips for This Christmas Holiday"
Written by Holistic Awareness
Hello everyone!
While Christmas is one of the most exciting and favorite times of the year for some people, for some others is a very stressful period that brings up a variety of emotions such as depression, grief, anxiety, frustration, anger and disappointment. Family gatherings and meetings with old or unwanted acquaintances can be chaotic and can trigger you BIG TIME. In case you are dealing with a difficult situation like a break up, a sickness, the loss of a loved one or if living alone or far from home, things can get even more intense and throw you off balance.

You grow up. You get educated or trained on something. You get a job. You find a partner. You get married. You have kids. You buy a house. You work work work. You maybe get retired. You die.
There are so many things that can go wrong with the above list, yet this is the "must-do-list" that our society encourages us to follow. Do we even know who created this list in the first place and, as times go by and people's needs and lifestyles are constantly changing, do we know if this list still applies?

“No one controls you and you control no one”
Written by Holistic Awareness
“No one controls you and you control no one”. This is the secret for living a happy and stressless life. Yet so many people struggle with this.
Nowadays, the world is power driven. People want to have power over other people and this power takes the form of different types of control; control in family relationships, romantic relationships, friendships, control in working and social environments and ultimately control in bigger scales like religious driven control or control exercised by a state or other various governmental systems.
But what makes power so desiring and people are so addicted to it?
