The Positive Therapy - Dr Chnanis K Ladha

Set a goal - for your physical and mental wellbeing. The journey is worth it regardless! 🩵

Sometimes, it can be tricky to spot when someone we love is struggling. We automatically say "I'm fine", while actually, we're not. Watch out for these signs and let them know you're there for them. Reach out for professional help if you need support.

Welcome February 🩷 Let’s make this February be filled with friendship and love around us. 🙂

Thank you for this February daily reminder.

Spread the kindness to yourself and to others 🩵

Always share your kind words 🩵

It’s national compliment day today! And we would like you to know that you all are amazing and meaningful to us! 💙

Things to remember this season 🎄🩵

"Grief is like the ocean; it comes in waves, ebbing and flowing. Sometimes the water is calm, and sometimes it is overwhelming. All we can do is learn to swim."

The death of a loved one or the loss of anything significant in your life (a pet, a relationship, even a job). You may feel lost and full of conflicting emotions - anger, grief, hopelessness. You may not want to talk with friends and family; nobody can tell you what to expect and how to cope. Nobody can replace what you have lost, but having somebody to talk to at such times can be comforting.

If you want to reach out and talk about what is on your mind, you can find a qualified counsellor on our Accredited Register here:

A little reminder for the start of the week: remember to speak to yourself like you would speak to a friend. You deserve compassion 💜

A reminder for the progress you may perceive, Improvement (in self development, recovery, physical and emotional healing) may feel differently from person to person and may be varied in different times. These are what progress may look and feel like (and perhaps many other ways). The most important thing to remember is that you are getting there. 🩵

The mind-body connection is essential in therapy and our general well-being. Traumas are not only experienced in our minds but can be stored as somatic memories. Trauma-informed yoga is another approach I have studied and now included in my therapeutic work. It can help to enhance our mind-body connection, calm our nervous system, neutralise emotional and bodily reactions, and create a safe, supportive space for self-awareness and healing. These then bring us a sense of grounding as well as a healthy and balanced body and mind. Simply with breathing and gentle movements, it is a practice that anyone can benefit from. 🧘🏻‍♀️

Welcome November with new ways of taking care of yourself 💚

Habit formation can help you to create the life you desire 💚

Hello Monday! What gives you hope for this week and for the future? 🌼

🩵 🕯️

If things feel overwhelming, just focus on one thing at a time.

Build the relationship you would like to have 💚

🗣💬Would you talk to your best friend in the way you sometimes talk to yourself?

The answer is almost always no. Self-talk is so important and at the very least it can be the difference between a good or bad start to the day. So this Monday, why not try being extra conscious of how you speak to yourself.

Learn to observe your thoughts rather than always engaging with them 💙
