She said,
“Introduce yourself in a way I can’t stop talking to you.”
I said,
“I’m a psychologist.”
And just like that, the conversation deepened
There is something about psychological safety that people recognize almost instinctively. When someone hears that I’m a psychologist, what they finally hear beneath it is this:
I can finally talk...
I will not be judged...
I will not be dismissed...
And what was supposed to be a casual “I’m fine” turns into something real. Honest. Unfiltered.
I created this meme playfully. However, it reflects a reality.
A lot of us are not able to express our thoughts, feelings, and emotions. And that bothers us. I often say, if you are not expressing, you are storing it. And what you store becomes uneasy.
That is why I built Express Uneasiness.
Life is happening. Things are happening. We are all going through something. If we do not talk about it, we cannot address it properly. Distractions help momentarily. What truly helps is expression.
Expression in a safe space.
Expression with someone who can guide you while empowering you.
That is what I do as a psychologist.
If you are someone who has been wanting to talk but have not found the right space yet, professional counseling sessions are available.
You can begin your healing journey by simply sending a “Hi.”
