Why do people with mental health problems punish themselves? Often, we blame ourselves for the words that we said & the things we did when we were struggling with our mental health. It is NOT your fault. Please don’t punish yourself. What you deserve is compassion & care.

We all heal differently. Some heal quietly. But healing can be painful & loud. Healing can be raw. Healing can be shared—because sharing is what emancipates others who are suffering in silence. Embracing your vulnerability and sharing in no way diminishes your dignity & grace.

Professor Ahmed Hankir I was honored to introduce Dr Hankir and present the Patient Advocacy Award to him. His talk was galvanizing and the audience deeply moved. He is so deserving of this award as he continues to make this world a better place. And, what a role model for psychiatry!

Sometimes, the best thing you can do for your mental health is to ‘disarm’ your alarm clock, put your digital devices on silent, sleep in & do absolutely nothing. A luxury far too many of us can’t indulge in due to commitments & responsibilities (i.e. caregiving)…

Healing from trauma — especially betrayal trauma — is rarely linear; it circles, it cuts, it confuses. But it also reveals. We cannot fully heal without clarity, and we can seldom move forward without truth. Closure is not always something we’re given — sometimes, it’s something
