Oppression vs Money vs power vs strength. It’s all a personal battlefield. An important topic came to my attention after discussing Japan’s Butler Cafe’s for The Metro. It is a fine-dining experience taken to another level. Within the experience, you are not only given delicious, a la carte meals, but you also become the master […]
Getting a great night’s sleep is the ultimate start to the day. You feel refreshed and motivated to start anything you have on the agenda. When this sleep is interrupted, it takes you longer to fall asleep or you can’t get to sleep at all, then this starts a domino effect on the following day. […]
*Ratched spoilers ahead* You would think that a fantasised visualisation of an obsolete insane asylum is something a counsellor would shy away from. As a mental health professional, it is my job to offer the truth about what mental illness is like and how we can manage it. That means looking at what we do, […]
