How Facing My Inner Demons Got Me My Dream Job

Let’s be real—most of us are stumbling through life thinking we know what we’re doing, but deep down, we’re just winging it. That was me for the longest time. I was lost, drowning in existential dread, unsure of what I was even doing with my life.

Sorting Burdens with the Help of ThriveSg

by Lim (@mentholhalle), 20, with her artworks inspired by her healing journey. Counselling helped me to process all the difficult emotions I felt as a child because of my grandmother’s dominant role in my life. I also learnt how to connect with my “inner child,” and soothe that part of me that was once very hurt. Reassuring the inner child helped me to realise I am capable of handling and moving on from such conflict. Over time, my “inner child” became less susceptible to such conflicts, and it also helped me to be less triggered emotionally whenever future conflict would occur.

Obedience and our Mental Health

As Christians, the topic of mental health is made more complex because of our susceptibility to form biases and assumptions; for instance, that those struggling are “living in defeat” and not walking close with God, or that they can easily recover from their struggles if they “just believe”. The change begins in us...
