In twenty-four storeys, not a single sprinkler. In twenty-four storeys, not a single alarm that worked. In twenty-four storeys not a single fire escape, only a single stairwell designed in hell, waiting for an inferno. That’s the story of our times. Make it pretty on the outside, but a death trap on the inside.

Positive Psychology is the study of positive emotions. In this blog, we outline strategies anyone can use to increase their positive emotions. Positive Psychology interventions aim to increase positive emotions and can complement interventions intended to alleviate suffering. These interventions include gratitude practices, acts of kindness, envisioning positive outcomes, and exploring personal strengths and meaning in life. They have shown effectiveness in enhancing happiness and well-being.
Anxiety is a prevalent modern epidemic, affecting over 8 million people in the UK. It triggers a primal 'fight or flight' response, leading to unnecessary unease in everyday situations. Physical symptoms like sweaty palms and a racing heart make us feel endangered, but therapy can help restore everyday functionality.
Psychotherapy offers effective pain management strategies when medical options fail. Pain, although a warning system, can become chronic and uncontrollable. Reacting to pain without psychological techniques increases suffering. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps individuals live a meaningful life alongside pain. Diagnostic assessments determine the suitability of psychotherapy.
In a fast-paced world filled with distractions, finding peace and clarity can seem impossible. Driven by anxiety and unhappiness, I embarked on a mindfulness journey to combat my sleep issues.
