Anger is a completely normal, usually healthy, human emotion. But when it gets out of control and turns destructive, it can lead to problems problems at work, in your personal relationships, and in the overall quality of your life. And it can make you feel as though you're at the mercy of an unpredictable and powerful emotion.   Anger is "an emotional state that varies in intensity from mild irritation to intense fury and rage. The instinctive, natural way to express anger is to respond aggressively. Anger is a natural, adaptive response to threats; it inspires powerful, often aggressive, feelings and behaviors, which allow us to fight and to defend ourselves when we are attacked. A certain amount of anger, therefore, is necessary to our survival.   In todays episode we will provide you tips on better identifying the underlying emotion of anger.   The three main approaches are expressing, suppressing, and calming. Expressing your angry feelings in an assertive, not aggressive, manner is the healthiest way to express anger. To do this, you have to learn how to make clear what your needs are, and how to get them met, without hurting others. Being assertive doesn't mean being pushy or demanding; it means being respectful of yourself and others.   Taking a mental health screening is one of the quickest and easiest ways to determine whether you are experiencing symptoms of a mental health condition.  Mental health conditions, such as depression or anxiety, are real, common and treatable.

Effective communication is about more than just exchanging information. It's about understanding the emotion and intentions behind the information. As well as being able to clearly convey a message, you need to also listen in a way that gains the full meaning of what's being said and makes the other person feel heard and understood.   Effective communication sounds like it should be instinctive. But all too often, when we try to communicate with others something goes astray. We say one thing, the other person hears something else, and misunderstandings, frustration, and conflicts ensue. This can cause problems in your home, school, and work relationships.   For many of us, communicating more clearly and effectively requires learning some important skills. Whether you're trying to improve communication with your spouse, kids, boss, or coworkers, learning these skills can deepen your connections to others, build greater trust and respect, and improve teamwork, problem solving, and your overall social and emotional health.   In todays episode we will discuss the role of a speaker and listener, the key component to being a good speaker and a good listener. What is active listening, body language and more.   Download with Apple Podcasts and/or any other podcast platforms like Podbean, Spotify and CastBox to name a few.

Lacking of mental health support, too many Cambodian women experience emotional crises as they navigate contemporary motherhood.   Motherhood taps out women's depleted psychological resources, making them especially susceptible to mental health issues. Many moms don't have the time or energy to understand why they feel so awful. As a result, they internalize their feelings and do the best they can, day after day.   Did you know that depression and anxiety affect one in seven women during the perinatal period, and are associated with increased risk of preterm delivery, reduced mother-infant bonding, and delays in cognitive/emotional development of the infant.   We are so excited to welcome two incredible women who are supporting the strong moms and moms to be in Cambodia.   Moonique and Molenna are the founders of In The PINK. PINK” is an independent digital campaign that seeks to raise awareness of conceivably life-threatening warning signs during and after pregnancy and improve communication between women and their companions.   In todays episode, we will hear how PINK is supporting women and the educational programs they run as they support and contribute to the Cambodian community.   Today's show is brought to you by Audible.

In today's episode we are blessed with a story of courage, loss, rebirth and healing. We are joined by Sreynoch, from Untangle: A Mental Health Project, who opens up to us about a dark part of her past.   She opens up about losing purpose in her life where she felt lost and did not know who she was. So many teenagers are struggling to realize who they are and sadly never realize their worth and and a few end up giving up on life and taking their own lives.   Noch shares her story how she pulled herself back out of that dark place through self-care, self-love and surrounding herself with good friends, building a support system and reaching out for help.   That is why Noch decided to join Untangle, to raise awareness on mental health and mental health issues, letting the world know that mental illness is real and that you are not alone.   Sometimes things can seem overwhelming, and it can feel like you can't cope. You may simply just be having a bad day, or you may have an ongoing mental health problem that needs support. The important thing is not to try to cope on your own.   When you're struggling, it's not good to spend too much time alone, especially if you are feeling low and vulnerable. It's at times like these that you need to be able to talk to someone. Don't be afraid to ask for help.   Today's show is brought to you by Audible.

Although adults often say things like, “He was so young when that happened; he won't even remember it as an adult,” childhood trauma can have a lifelong effect. And while kids are resilient, they're not made of stone.   There are many different experiences that can constitute trauma. Childhood trauma is an event experienced by a child that threatens their life or bodily integrity. Ongoing stress, such as living in a dangerous neighborhood or being the victim of bullying, can be traumatic, even if it just feels like daily life to an adult.   We are joined by the incredible Teacher Michael-Patrick Strahan. Teacher Michael is an impactful social media influencer and a resourceful ACE Academic Coordinator. In this upcoming episode, Teacher Michael opens up about his childhood.   We applaud Teacher Michael for his ability to be vulnerable and share his story with us.   Teacher Michael did not have the best childhood, but he overcame difficult moments in his life while growing up and turned his pain into his power.   Through self-love, Teacher Michael was able to alchemize happiness in his own life, grow as an individual and achieve many goals he set.   Today's show is brought to you by Audible.

Behavior is said to be self-sabotaging when it creates problems in daily life and interferes with long-standing goals. The most common self-sabotaging behaviors include the avoider, the controller, the hyper achiever just to name a few.   Occasional self-sabotage is pretty common, like saying something to your boss or your partner that was probably better left unsaid. But when self-sabotage becomes a pattern, it can interfere not only with your ability to perform at your best, but also in your ability to live a happy, fulfilling, and productive life.   We welcome Joey RA. Joey is a Transformation Coach and Founder of Cambodia Coaching Institute. We discussed self-sabotaging in our lives. We dig deeper into how it works and the reason behind it.   Understanding why this is happening and what goes on in your mind while it is happening. We dive deep into the pre and post effect of self-sabotaging then end the episode with tips and advice on how we can overcome our self-sabotaging behavior, freeing ourselves from doubt and gaining that self-confidence.   Check out Joey Ra at www.joeyra.com.   Taking a mental health screening is one of the quickest and easiest ways to determine whether you are experiencing symptoms of a mental health condition.

What is Psychiatry?   Psychiatry is the branch of medicine focused on the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mental, emotional and behavioral disorders.   A psychiatrist is a medical doctor (an M.D. or D.O.) who specializes in mental health, including substance use disorders. Psychiatrists are qualified to assess both the mental and physical aspects of psychological problems.   People seek psychiatric help for many reasons. The problems can be sudden, such as a panic attack, frightening hallucinations, thoughts of suicide, or hearing "voices." Or they may be more long-term, such as feelings of sadness, hopelessness, or anxiousness that never seem to lift or problems functioning, causing everyday life to feel distorted or out of control.   On our next episode we are joined by Ngin Ratanakromanea. Ngin is a resident psychiatrist at University of Health and Sciences and Founder of AromStation. We discuss his work and why he chose to study psychiatry. He will help us understand why he believes mental health is so important, especially in Cambodia.   Ngin's journey in studying psychiatry is a taboo field in Cambodia. So he is here helping to break the stigma so you can understand the importance of this field in Cambodia.   Ngin and his team created a E-Counselling platform in Khmer on Facebook named AromStation.   Taking a mental health screening is one of the quickest and easiest ways to determine whether you are experiencing symptoms of a mental health condition.

Self-acceptance is self-love, but somedays it is a hard thing to do when you're caught up in the endless barrage of self-talk.   Learning self-acceptance takes work. You must set an intention and stick with it, celebrating your success and strengths when you can and shutting up the inner critic (thus forgiving yourself) when you can't.   Acceptance is not resignation, but rather a letting go of the things we can't realistically control. Self-acceptance allows us to speak to a higher self and empower ourselves to do greater things simply by getting out of our own way.   Compassion is a natural state but like all natural things will die if it doesn't receive the care it needs.   We welcome on our show Renee Lee. She is such an incredibly powerful woman who continuously shows us the power of self acceptance and self love. We had a conversation about what does it mean to "taking all of me in" and the process of healing through self-love.   Looking at ourselves in the mirror and building the confidence of loving every part of you and checking in on yourself constantly on how you feel, what you feel and why do you feel it.   The more you understand about yourself, the more you love yourself the more happy you are.   Taking a mental health screening is one of the quickest and easiest ways to determine whether you are experiencing symptoms of a mental health condition.

Self-confident people seem at ease with themselves and their work. They invite trust and inspire confidence in others. These are all attractive characteristics to have.   But it's not always easy to be confident in yourself, particularly if you're naturally self-critical or if other people put you down.   Having self-confidence can bring many benefits at home, at work, and within your relationships.   Self-confidence means trusting in your own judgment, capacities and abilities. It's about valuing yourself and feeling worthy, regardless of any imperfections or what others may believe about you.   Today, Mony share and welcomes you to hear how he went about building self confidence within his own life. He will also share some tips and tools you can use and try in your own life.   Taking a mental health screening is one of the quickest and easiest ways to determine whether you are experiencing symptoms of a mental health condition.

Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer (LGBTQ) Pride Month is currently celebrated each year in the month of June.   Even though society has progressed, there are many places in which LGBTQ+ individuals still lack protections for fundamental rights and dignity in hospitals, schools, public accommodations, and other spaces.   We continues to witness a tragic spike in violence against LGBTQ+ individuals especially youth who defy sex or gender norms, they face bullying and harassment in educational settings and are at a disproportionate risk of self-harm and death by suicide.   During LGBTQ+ Pride Month, we recognize the resilience and determination of the many individuals who are fighting to live freely and authentically. In doing so, they are opening hearts and minds, and laying the foundation for a more just and equitable world. This Pride Month, we affirm our obligation to uphold the dignity of all people, and dedicate ourselves to protecting the most vulnerable among us.   We welcome Chhum Ratha on the show. Chhum Ratha is the LGBTIQ Organizing   Team Leader at Rainbow Community Kampuche. Mony and Chhum will be talking about the work they do at Rainbow Community and how they support the LGBTQ community in Cambodia.   Taking a mental health screening is one of the quickest and easiest ways to determine whether you are experiencing symptoms of a mental health condition.

Why won't my brain just let me relax? Why do I have such a short fuse? Why do I feel so sad? I wish I could just pull myself up by the emotional bootstraps and get happy!   These are some of the most common questions people ask. And they're all thoughts we have all had about our own emotions.   What we're really saying is, “Negative emotions are bad. I want to get rid of them.” And no wonder! Fear twists our stomachs, anger makes us feel out of control, and sadness is such a downer. Sometimes, these emotions can seem so powerful that we feel like victims of their relentless grasp.   So why do we have them? Why do our brains play such cruel tricks on us? And how can we avoid having negative emotions?   In our next episode Thay PichMony walks us through the importance of not running away from the difficult emotions but rather sit with them and listen to what they are trying to teach us about ourselves.   Taking a mental health screening is one of the quickest and easiest ways to determine whether you are experiencing symptoms of a mental health condition. Mental health conditions, such as depression or anxiety, are real, common and treatable. And recovery is possible.

EMDR - Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy. What is that? It is a psychotherapy therapy technique that utilizes sensory input such as eye movements to help people recover from trauma.   As a therapeutic approach, EMDR is based on several theories of psychotherapy, including concepts of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). EMDR techniques are used to unblock emotional processes that have been stagnated by distress.   By unblocking your emotions, you can (in a sense) reprogram your brain. Then, you can begin to heal from the fear and pain associated with the trauma and emotional distress you have experienced.   EMDR can also allow you to gain a new perspective, which can facilitate improved self-esteem and enhance your personal beliefs about your capabilities. We are joined by Phul Sophearith who is a therapist and psychologist at EMDR Cambodia.   Phul and Mony discuss EMDR and it's benefits. They will discuss how it works and provide you the benefits of this therapy.   Taking a mental health screening is one of the quickest and easiest ways to determine whether you are experiencing symptoms of a mental health condition. Mental health conditions, such as depression or anxiety, are real, common and treatable. And recovery is possible.

Art therapy, a hybrid field largely influenced by the disciplines of art and psychology, uses the creative process, pieces of art created in therapy, and third-party artwork to help people in treatment develop self-awareness, explore emotions, address unresolved emotional conflicts, improve social skills, and raise self-esteem.   Art therapy primarily aims to help individuals experiencing emotional and psychological challenges achieve personal well-being and improved levels of function.   On our next episode we welcome the amazing Chakriya Phal-Brown, a Khmer American who graduated from UCLA and now is a Marriage and Family Therapist / Psychotherapist.   Chakriya and Mony discuss what art therapy is and it's benefits to those who use it as a tool in their lives.   Taking a mental health screening is one of the quickest and easiest ways to determine whether you are experiencing symptoms of a mental health condition.

The strength of a woman is not measured by the impact that all her hardships in life have had on her; but the strength of a woman is measured by the extent of her refusal to allow those hardships to dictate her and who she becomes.   To be strong one does not have to be a hard core feminist but the zeal to exuberate and let go the past that disturbs. There should always be the spark in one for change and be the change.   We are incredibly honored to have on our show Monika Tep. She Monika went through a lot of hardships to get to where she is. From poverty, hunger, abuses, rape, she still found courage to keep moving forward to achieve her dreams. She is truly an inspiration to many Cambodian young women.    Taking a mental health screening is one of the quickest and easiest ways to determine whether you are experiencing symptoms of a mental health condition.

With International Women's Day coming up and Women's History Month, we are honored to speak to Samnang Chea.   Samnang Chea is a Clinical Psychologist and Therapist Facilitator and Curriculum Designer. She has lectured at the Department of Social Work at the Royal University of Phnom Penh and is also a Senior Advisor at the Cambodian Ministry of Women Affairs. She is a well respected individual who has dedicated her work in human development and helping manage emotional obstacles with those she guides towards success.   Samnang and Thay PichMony discuss parenting and child development (anti social issue, anxiety issue, anger management, autism and down syndrome). Significant mental health problems can and do occur in young children. Children can show clear characteristics of anxiety disorders, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, conduct disorder, depression, posttraumatic stress disorder, and neurodevelopmental disabilities, such as autism, at a very early age.   That said, young children respond to and process emotional experiences and traumatic events in ways that are very different from adults and older children. Consequently, diagnosis in early childhood can be much more difficult than it is in adults.   Taking a mental health screening is one of the quickest and easiest ways to determine whether you are experiencing symptoms of a mental health condition.

Stigma against mental illness involves labeling, stereotyping, and rejecting people diagnosed with mental illness. The public stigma against mental illness represents the discrimination directed at people suffering from mental illness by the larger population or the community.   Self-stigma occurs when people diagnosed with mental illness believe that they are less valued because of their mental illness. The stigma against mental illness may lead to social exclusion of people with mental illness and affect patients' willingness to seek mental health care. Culture-specific perceptions were viewed as affecting both the patients living with mental illness and people living in the community.   Cultural factors often influence beliefs about the cause and treatment of mental illness and shape the public attitudes toward people diagnosed with mental illness. Addressing the cultural beliefs associated with stigma against mental illness is of special importance in Cambodia.   We are honored to welcome So Monyrak, a licensed psychiatrist who is currently working at svay rieng provincial hospital. So Monyrak, helps us understand the misconceptions around mental illness and provides helpful advice on treatments and more.   Taking a mental health screening is one of the quickest and easiest ways to determine whether you are experiencing symptoms of a mental health condition.

For many Asian, talking about mental health issues, especially to their parents, is like pulling teeth. Asian are actually three times less likely to seek mental health services than other cultures, according to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America.   Anxiety, depression, and mental health issues aren't really topics discussed in Asian households and are considered taboo. Often times, they are told to “get over it” and “we had it so much worse than you, you should be grateful.   Cultural differences are the root cause for many Asian parents' lack of understanding and sympathy towards their children's mental health concerns. Infamously known as “tiger parents,” parents from Asia are thought to be abnormally strict towards their offspring, speak to them harshly, and punish them if they are anything less than perfect.   Another reason that Asian parents may not be supportive of their children's mental health issues is that many Asian cultures simply don't believe that they exist. Mental health is very much a Western concept with much of its development and theories originating in Western countries.   In Asian cultures, it is a black and white concept. Feeling sadness and hopelessness is believed to be one's own fault for not trying hard enough. Depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues do not hold the same significance in other cultures as it does in Western societies.   We are so honored to welcome Dari Kellom. She is a Cambodian American who is a licensed clinical social worker in the United States on our show to give us advice and ways to communicate with parents about mental illness.   Taking a mental health screening is one of the quickest and easiest ways to determine whether you are experiencing symptoms of a mental health condition.

We live in an incredibly fast-paced world. Our mobile phones are constantly buzzing, social media is infinitely calling, and Netflix always has something new to binge on.   Taking the time for reflection is a bit of a lost art. Most of us, unfortunately, are living unexamined lives.   Simply put, self-reflection (also known as “personal reflection”) is taking the time to think about, meditate on, evaluate, and give serious thought to your behaviors, thoughts, attitudes, motivations, and desires. It's the process of diving deep into your thoughts and emotions and motivations and determining the great, “Why?” behind them.   Today Thay PichMony will break down what is self reflection and the importance of it within our own lives.   You probably look in a mirror most days and are as familiar with your appearance as almost any other sight.   But how often do you look inward to become more familiar with your inner self? That is the crux of self-reflection: to know your inner workings as well as you know your outer form.   Taking a mental health screening is one of the quickest and easiest ways to determine whether you are experiencing symptoms of a mental health condition. Mental health conditions, such as depression or anxiety, are real, common and treatable. And recovery is possible.

From the outside looking in, the modeling industry is admired by many for its glitz and glam, its statuesque models, high-end fashion designers, and the endless international catwalks that have introduced some of the most iconic supermodels of our generation.   However, there is always an ugly side that can only be seen from those who've experienced the life from the inside looking in.   We are so grateful to start off our show with Cambodia's very own Miss Universe Cambodia contestant Raksa Neth. .
