Masturbation is not defined by one singular act, nor is it limited to a pre-defined set of activities. Instead, what matters the most is what works for you. And this looks different for everyone.

Sometimes the hardest thing about therapy is making the decision to go. Asking for help can be tough but it’s important to remind ourselves that it is an important part of our healing journey.

While I don't have a fool-proof way to protect you, think of this: life is just a series of interactions with other humans where every moment could be the last.

I used to look forward to staying up throughout the night, seeking refuge in loneliness. Now, ten months into the pandemic, my anxiety is at an all-time high, especially when it’s time to sleep.

People thought I hated hugs, but that wasn’t the case. The truth is I didn’t know how to. Hugs are such a foreign concept in my household. It often confused me when I saw some of my Tamil friends hug their parents. I had assumed that giving hugs were not a part of Tamil culture.

I often describe revenge to my friends as a fleeting moment of catharsis. Fantasizing about it feels good, but when enacted, it rarely provides the lasting internal peace we seek.
