“Why do you stay in prison, when the door is so wide open”

Rumi

This platform is dedicated to exploring the transformative power of ancient wisdom and applying it to the modern-day challenges of stress, anxiety and depression that we all face. As a medical doctor that has treated countless people for these illness, I can assure you they are wide spread. Our modern life has become a chaotic mess of distractions and obligations. Social media and politics have only made the situation worse. When it comes to improving our mental wellbeing, it has been shown that therapy is generally more effective for most people than medication alone. The most effective form of therapy is called Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) which was designed around the teachings of the ancient Greek and Roman school of philosophy called stoicism. I have witnessed first hand the profound impact Cognitive Behavior Therapy can have by empowering individuals navigating life’s complexities with resilience and inner peace. While attending therapy can be expensive, time consuming and personal, it is possible to learn and apply these principles in your own time. I am not immune to the stress of a busy life and have experienced significant improvement in my own life since starting this journey of self improvement. Join us on a journey of self-discovery and healing as I share a weekly post about an ancient teaching for us to focus on the week and use to improve our lives and relationships. We will always steer clear of divisive topics such as politics and religion in order to build a safe place to come together.
