SATURDAY (25 Sept) @ 8pm, FB (Facebook Live) with Dr.Prem from Solace Asia, In collaboration with Skuad Penerangan Komuniti - SPEAK PEMADAM Negeri Selangor & PEMADAM Negeri Selangor
As a talk therapist, I'm a huge supporter of therapy and seeking help ‼️‼️
1 in 3 Malaysians is struggling with their mental health with the highest prevalence amongst 16-19-year-olds (MOH, 2015). Thus, it's common that we ALL loved ones that are fighting with their inner demons - a lover, spouse, parent, family member, friend, colleague, etc...It's PAINFUL to watch the people we love and care for doing damage to themselves. Despite us trying our best to pull them out of a deep dark hole, they continue to self-sabotage and chose to dig deeper, choosing to stay in that toxic place...
"Why can't you love yourself more?" , "Why can't you be healthy?" .....I've desperately begged people I cared for to get help but no matter how much I've tried, they have either gotten angry at me and my pleas went to deaf ears...
Yet, we all still try to save them because, despite their self-harm and (sometimes) projection of their negative actions towards us, we loved them for their beautiful side. Deep in our hearts, we still believe that they can change for the better 🙏 Therapy and Rehabilitation teaches you how to face parts of you that you don't like/don't want to face and make you realize that the ONLY way to defeat those demons is by facing them, acknowledging them head-on 👊
