Healing After Heartbreak: A Mental Health Perspective

Healing After Heartbreak: A Mental Health Perspective

Heartbreak doesn't just break your heart—it can shatter your sense of identity, peace, and purpose. Whether the end was expected or abrupt, mutual or one-sided, short-lived or long-term, the aftermath often leaves people emotionally disoriented.

Yet, very few are taught how to heal from emotional loss in a healthy, sustainable way.

Boundaries in Love: Saying ‘No’ Without Guilt

Boundaries in Love: Saying ‘No’ Without Guilt

Love, in its truest form, should be a safe space—a space where individuality is not only respected but celebrated. Yet, in many relationships, especially in the Indian cultural context, love is often misunderstood as constant availability, complete sacrifice, and putting the other person first, always.
