Using silence as a tool in therapy is powerful and intentional. It can serve several important purposes but we understand that it can be awkward and weird 😅 In short: Silence in therapy isn’t emptiness. It’s an invitation. A holding. A mirror. 🙂 #consciouspsychologist #southafrica #psychologist #MentalHealth #therapy #anxietyrelief #fyp #therapistsontiktok

Disclaimer: This is not meant to justify or excuse men who are emotionally unavailable. It’s to recognise that generations of conditioning taught them that strength meant silence. Emotional suppression was survival. But healing begins when we rewrite the narrative & take ✨accountability✨ for how we show up in relationships. Furthermore, this is NOT to ignore women who are also emotionally unavailable. Emotional unavailability is a common theme amongst all brown people but specifically men, due to upbringing, societal expectations & patriarchy. Let’s hold space, not blame. Send this to your partner if they’re need it 🤎 #consciouspsychologist #emotionallyunavailaible #MentalHealth #browntiktok #desi #southafrica #browntok #psychologist #psychology

I wish we had a magic wand 🪄 when asking for advice is really a search for connection, safety, or old patterns playing out. Therapy isn’t about quick answers - it’s about uncovering the why beneath the what should I do. #therapy #consciouspsychologist #southafrica #therapytiktok #psychology #MentalHealth #relationships #fyp #anxietyrelief #psychologist
