The future isn’t promised. It’s shaped by those who dare to care, speak, and act.
And we do.
And we will.

Excellent reading about the cult of Gabor Mate and #trauma. "Western societies have increasingly medicalized suffering, replacing concepts like personal responsibility and agency with narratives of victimhood."

BREAKING: MSF strongly denounces Israel’s announcement to block aid into Gaza.
Humanitarian aid should never be used as a tool of war. Regardless of negotiations between warring parties, people in Gaza still need an immediate and massive scale-up of humanitarian supplies.

Word of the day: Fremdschämen. That's a beautiful German word for the deep, secondhand embarrassment you feel when someone humiliates themselves, especially when they have no clue. And yes, that’s exactly how I felt watching those two clown bullies yesterday. #Cringe #PsySciSky #TherapistSky

Today is #WorldCancerDay! Cancer affects both body and mind. Many patients and survivors face anxiety, depression, and emotional distress. Mental health care is often overlooked but just as important. If you or a loved one has cancer, take a moment to recognize your strength & resilience.💪💙

Human rights and mental health go hand in hand. A world that values dignity, equality, and freedom is one where mental well-being thrives. Advocate for both - everyone deserves respect, care, and a chance to live without fear.💙 Take care of yourself and others. #TherapistSky #PsySciSky #HumanRights

Billionaires doing Nazi salutes, and some trying to pass it off as neurodivergence. We ALL know what a Nazi salute looks like - no debate. Stay strong, stay resilient, and take care of your #mentalhealth. #PsySciSky #TherapistSky #MentalHealthSky
