Psych Up: The Therapy Center

And just like that, we reached the mid-year already! Have you noticed? How was your past six months?

June has come and gone. Let us celebrate our wins as well as our trials as these both shape how we tackle life head on.

Pride month is not only a time for celebration of the LGBTQ+ community but also a reaffirmation of the commitment of everyone to continue fostering a world where everyone can live authentically and without fear. May this be a reminder to us of the universal language of compassion and kindness, our shared desire for connection and understanding.

...alright. Trust in the journey of life and in yourself. Do have faith that each ending paves the way for a new beginning.

Have a reflective week ahead!

What fuels you? It can be found in the simplest of moments - a colorful sunset painting the sky, a child's laughter echoing through the air, or the touch of a loved one's hand. It inspires you move forward. Have a lovely week ahead!

Let the echoes of your triumphs, challenges, and the lessons learned resonate within you. Embrace the journey that has shaped you, for each victory celebrated, every obstacle overcome, and all the knowledge acquired has contributed to the remarkable story of your life. Keep moving forward with courage and resilience, knowing that every experience, whether joyful or challenging, has molded you into the strong and resilient individual you are today.

"How are you, dad ?" Fathers, especially new dads, can be overwhelmed as well during pregnancy, birth and raising a child. Thus, it is also important to check on them. Simply asking how they are with these four words can make a world of difference.

The campaign was started to make sure all parents are having support for their mental health.

You can watch the video to learn more about the impact of child-rearing to the mental health of fathers.

Fathers' role in raising a family is as important as mothers'. Fatherhood is a life-long craft that is learned on a daily basis. Also, fathers or father figures have significant impact on how children see themselves. They raise and let the children know that “You're ready, you have what it takes and I am proud of you”.

Listen to Ned Schaut in this short video as he speaks passionately of his aim to redefine fatherhood, emphasizing its importance and impact. He believes every father can change the world by embracing their role intentionally. His mantra is to rebel against the idea of minimal expectations from fathers and create lives focused on mastering fatherhood.

Here is a mid-week reminder that eventually you will get there with tiny steps!

"This is for you, father figures. I would say “You know who you are.” but you probably don’t. You probably aren’t aware of the impact you had. You have no idea how much you shaped us. On this Father’s Day, here’s a little reminder of the good you did.
For ALL the father figures, for being there when others weren’t or couldn’t, we can’t thank you enough. You showed us what a good man is, and taught us about what we could be. Happy Father’s Day. This one’s for you."
- Sara Kleinsmith

Here is the link of the whole poem. It is timely for this occasion.

Today is a special one to honor and appreciate all the incredible fathers who have made a positive impact on their families' lives. Whether through their unwavering support, wise guidance, quiet yet loud gestures of doing their share of chores, or simply being there with a smile, fathers play a pivotal role in shaping who we are.

Happy Father's Day to all the amazing dads out there!
