Panel Event

Don’t be sad ok? Other people have it much worse than you...
There. Did that help you feel better? Less sad?

While our intentions may be good, our words can sometimes be more harmful than helpful.

Understanding Our Emotions

Dealing effectively with our emotions can sometimes be challenging.

For many of us, we often suppress our emotions in fear of negative reactions from others. Additionally, the existence of certain (sometimes unspoken) societal and organisational rules might sway us against expressing our feelings freely.

Current psychological research has suggested that when individuals do not acknowledge and address their emotions, they tend to display lower wellbeing and more physical symptoms of stress, like headaches.

Naming our emotions — what psychologists call labelling — is an essential first step in dealing with them effectively. However, many of us struggle to identify what we feel and why we feel a certain way, often requiring guidance.

Let us accompany you on this journey in exploring how to manage our emotions better!
