    This episode became my sign to seek therapy to help me with the challenge I have in life right now. I am found that it really helped me process what I was going thru, and it made my relationships better, cope better.

    Whenever I feel worthless and unloved I would always think na what would I do to the person I deeply care for then do those things to myself like, I see my favorite person tired I will fix their resting spot of feed them or maybe some massage then I imagine myself possesing that person and do all the good things to myself. I basically detatch myself from myself to asses what I need to do then go back. this works so well for me so if anyone want to try this method go for it this is totally awsome. It may sound so lonely pero you have to know din na the only thing permanent in your world is you.

    galing ng combo ng conversation na ito. dami kung na tutunan. i feel the best theraphy would be one you are open with. hindi pwedeng ipilit sya. crucial ksi yung ma feel mo na ikaw yung nag decide, ikaw yung gusto magpagaling sa sarili mo, self discovery talaga. Ganda nung Sinabi ni doc, hindi ikaw yung anxiety mo, you are not weak. it's ok not to be enough kesa mag settle ka sa standard ng iba. beyond grateful for this episode. saludo ako sa inyo. sobrang laki ng na icontribute nyo sa life ko. no words.

    request talk po: yung pagiging lalaki traits. ano ba ang dapat. how do we raise men who are confident enough to take care of another being, and not get their pagiging lalaki in the way? this is coming from a single mother who came from a toxic relationship na manhood ang naging dahilan. would love to hear your take on this. i wish nothing more but be able to raise my son well. thank you for the time. always love everything you put on the table. you have no idea how much you help me regulate my emotions.

    Very traditional yung mindset na pag lalaki ka, lalo na kung panganay, dapat strong ka, bawal umiyak. Pero dapat i-normalize na rin for men to show emotions. Hindi ibig sabihin nun weak ka, actually, mas courageous pa nga eh. And it doesn’t mean na gay ka, pero kahit gay ka man, wala namang masama dun. Gay people are not weak either.

    I can also relate kasi growing up I learned to suppress my emotions. Ngayon, I sometimes struggle to show affection, and even in moments na kailangan ko talagang umiyak, my body automatically thinks I have to protect myself. Kaya I really believe na opening up emotionally should be encouraged, not shamed.

    This is just my POV lang po. Gets ko rin where Atty is coming from kasi most of my guy friends in Pinas ganyan din yung mentality. I appreciate na Atty is open to learning, and I like this kind of podcast kasi it shows different POVs and encourages self awareness.

    After watching this episode, I can say na sobrang dami kong natutunan. What stood out for me was when one of the speakers mentioned na, “you need to treat your mental health the same way you treat your physical health”. As they’ve discussed, just like you wouldn’t force yourself to walk on a sprained ankle, kailangan din talaga nating alagaan ang mental health natin. ‘Yung therapy, kahit hindi ka sobrang down, it can really give you a sense of clarity. As Inka said, “When I got diagnosed officially… it felt like someone turned on the light in the room,” kasi you start seeing patterns sa reactions mo at mas kaya mo na i-handle ‘yung triggers. ‘Yung body awareness and grounding techniques, breathing, self-havening, at movement, sobrang effective din sa panic attacks at anxiety. I also loved na they emphasized na seeking help is strength, not weakness as it just makes us human because there's nobody in the world who does not have a struggle. Plus, understanding your emotions and working through childhood experiences can help you empathize more at maging mas successful personally and professionally.

    Also, as a Gen Z, I can really say that the topic is relevant, and alam ko ‘yung struggles ng mga kabataan, especially as a psych major, I know people who would like and are in need of seeking therapy, pero may financial constraints in doing so.

    Personally naman, I can attest that when I started journaling is talagang naging game changer siya for me. Every time na sinusulat ko ‘yung nararamdaman ko, parang gumagaan yung dibdib ko, mas malinaw ‘yung isip ko, at nakaka-focus sa mga bagay na mahalaga. Nakatutulong din siya sa’kin para ma-organize ‘yung thoughts ko, maging mas grateful para sa mga bagay-bagay no matter how big or small, at magkaroon ng clearer sense of direction lalo na sa mga goals ko. Kaya I really agree na kahit simpleng steps like journaling, self-care, gentle movement, or opening up to someone you trust, malaking bagay na talaga para sa mental health. Kaya sana mas maging open pa ‘yung society natin sa ganitong conversations para mas maraming kabataan ang hindi mahihiyang mag-seek ng tulong.

    On a side note, I really love this podcast dahil pinagsama-sama rito ‘yung mga content creators and professionals whom I really enjoy learning from! 🥹🫶

    What happened to this show? It had so much potential. Makabuluhan ang usapan, matatalino pa ang hosts. I miss it. It’s the sole reason I subbed to this channel.

    I learned a lot about expanding my understanding of mental health struggles and how to deal with them, including finding medication or solutions. The thing I loved learning the most is that asking for help or seeking support is a sign of strength, because it means you want to find ways to get back up from what you are going through. I believe this will be very helpful for me as a graduating working student who carries a lot of stress and often feels tired of everything. This was such an eye-opener! Thank you so much to the hosts, and especially to Doc Randy, for creating this vlog!🥰
