Unlock Growth Through Online Therapeutic Coaching
Personal growth and emotional resilience are journeys we all embark on at some point. Sometimes, the path feels clear and smooth. Other times, it’s more like navigating a dense forest without a map. That’s where online therapeutic coaching steps in, offering a guiding light right from the comfort of your own space. I’m excited to share how this modern approach can unlock your potential and help you thrive.
When the Therapist Is a Chatbot: What the Evidence Says, What It Doesn’t, and Why “Referral to Humans” Must Be Non-Negotiable
Generative AI has drifted, quietly but decisively, into the mental health ecosystem. It is no longer a hypothetical adjunct. It is a lived behaviour. Population studies now show that a meaningful proportion of adolescents and young adults use AI chatbots for mental health advice, often monthly, and most report that the advice “helps.” Professional bodies are sufficiently concerned that formal advisories now warn the public about safety, evidence gaps, and the risk of harm, pa
When The War Isn’t Over Borders. It’s Over Brains.
I’ve been noticing something lately, and I’m trying to name it without turning into the cranky guy yelling at clouds. It’s this… vibe. A kind of social theatre that plays out in comment sections, on talkback, at family dinners, in workplace kitchens. The place where someone says, “I’m just asking questions,” but it doesn’t feel like a question. It feels like a door gently closing.
Gooch Week: The Strange, Sacred Space Between Chaos and Clarity
There’s a name for this weird little void we tumble into every year, that space between Christmas and New Year’s Eve when time stops making sense, calories stop counting, and the line between “afternoon nap” and “existential crisis” gets deliciously blurry. It’s called Gooch Week.
Freedom of Speech and Other Things People Say Right Before They’re About to Be a Jerk
Freedom of speech… or freedom to be a nuisance with a microphone?
Managing Life (and Relationships) with a Malicious Contrarian
As we roll into the end-of-year season - family dinners, office parties, group catch-ups, and those “let’s do this every year!” barbecues - there’s always that one person.
“What Has the Radical Left Ever Done for Us?”
Apparently, the left is destroying society, undermining values, and eroding freedoms. And yet, here’s the inconvenient truth, much of what we call freedoms and values today were delivered precisely because the left fought tooth and nail for them.
Guns, Violence, and the Fragile Myth of Freedom: A Deep Dive into Fear, Dignity, and Kindness
What fascinates me and frankly disturbs me, is not whether guns are deadly. That is obvious. The real question is: why are guns clutched so tightly in the American psyche? Why, even after classrooms are turned into morgues, does the national conversation erupt in rage instead of reason? Why do so many cling to the “right to bear arms” as if it is the last thread of dignity they have left?
Politics, Policy & People: When Democracy Feels Fractured
Those who have worked with me know I carry a deep fascination with politics. Not in the shallow theatre of who “wins the day,” but in the deeper way policy shapes how we live, how we feel, and even how we connect with one another. Politics, at its heart, is human psychology in action. And if we take a moment to look honestly at what’s happening in the world today, it’s hard not to feel a little unsettled.
When Technology Becomes a Confidant: Lessons from a Heartbreaking Case
In recent weeks, the world has been shaken by news of a tragic case: a teenager who died by suicide after reportedly using an AI chatbot as a substitute for companionship in his final days. According to court filings, the young person’s conversations with the chatbot shifted from homework help to discussions of anxiety, isolation, and ultimately, methods of self-harm. His parents have since taken legal action, alleging that the system not only failed to protect him, but in so
