The freezing wizard, this is winter in the Northern hemisphere. For three long months, the sun is in its weakest and lowest point in our sky and the Earth’s temperature keeps falling drastically. All micro ecosystems are affected. Animal migrations take place, water and plants freeze, prey and food become scarce and our own behaviours […]
Anger is the most persecuted, denied and rejected human emotion. Anger is scary and little human beings are taught since their early years, through education, religion and social manners that anger is bad and sinful. Anger is painted as the utmost evil but is it really? First of all, let us define anger. Anger is […]
I made this clip for fun as we parked on a beach to work on our van and enjoy swimming in the relatively warm waters of PEI.
Familiarity turns around medication. An equation of chemicals playing within our bodies, delivering relatively fast and noticeable results. But away from medication, how does therapy work? I mean besides magical wands, how does a therapist help you relieve your load? Is it possible to work on your mental system without cutting you open? Surgery is […]
Mental images I have from cities are all grey with low colour contrast. I do not like high rise buildings blocking daylight, I do not like people left living on the street because of their mental or financial issues while so much indoor space is kept unused at night, I do not like noise and […]
People resist going to therapy. The reasons could be cultural, social, financial and most of the time the reason is anxiety. You and me and almost anyone would certainly fear going to see a mental health therapist but here are some facts that you oversee while worrying about starting a conversation with a professional.

A common social behaviour in humans is to negatively judge lifestyles that are different from traditions and social expectations. People leading uncommon lifestyles are rejected by their social group and considered unfit to be within the social circle. Being normal is not defined by being like everyone else. To the contrary, being normal is succeeding […]
. This post is about angry men. We can all think of an angry man or even many we know. Anger in men is a common behaviour. Anger is the spoken face of an unspoken fear. When a man is anxious about succeeding at a stressful task or life event, he would get easily frustrated. […]
It all started when we moved to Canada in May and decided to take a full tour before we settled. This trip is mostly a detox for our Psyche. It is our way to thrive and be happy. We purchased a van and converted it into a camper. It is still a work in progress […]
Our story, part one. Resigning from our jobs and leaving the UAE to relocate to Canada was a major decision for us. We were not fulfilled by our limiting corporate jobs and we wanted to seek happiness away from consumerism and highly stressful environments. We knew there was more to life. To reach our ultimate […]
The sound of change gives us the shivers and sweaty palms. Some would start an endless cycle of sleepless nights and some would have the shadows of fear, crippling their muscles slowly and painfully. Why is the fear of change so common amongst humans? The human body is a magnificent complex system that works following […]
I took the 3 AM flight so pretty much exhausted after a long day spent on an emotional roller coaster. In the seat in front of me was a mother with a 12 months son in total distress, screaming and maybe roaring at times. A classic tantrum. This situation lasted for forty five minutes, until […]
Ladies and gentlemen greetings from the theatre of life. Tonight we welcome on stage our most hated guest, Clinical Depression.

Welcome to the times of excessive obsessions with cleanliness. The generation of anti-bacterial gels and wipes and sprays will guide you through killing yourself slowly without having a clue. Please keep your socks on while you take the tour, you surely don’t want to expose your toes to fresh air and nice sensory feelings from […]
