Mental Health Uncovered:

A Psychologist’s Perspective

Why Stress Makes You Forget Things

Forgetting your keys, missing appointments, or walking into a room with no idea why you're there doesn't always mean something is wrong. Stress and overwhelm can significantly affect memory, focus, and attention. In this video, we explore why your brain responds this way under pressure and how understanding the science can help you respond with greater self compassion.

Why You're Not Lazy

Feeling stuck doesn't always mean you're lazy. Often, it's a sign of fear, perfectionism, burnout, or an overwhelmed nervous system. In this video, Registered Psychologist Rameen Kargger explores the psychology behind feeling stuck and explains how understanding what's driving your behaviour is the first step toward moving forward.

Why We Say "I'm Fine" When We're Not

How often do you say, "I'm fine," when you're really not? In this video, Registered Psychologist Rameen Kargger explores why people hide emotional pain, how it can lead to greater isolation, and why vulnerability is a strength, not a weakness. Sometimes, the bravest words are simply, "I'm struggling."

Why You Can't Stop Overthinking at Night

Overthinking isn't just thinking too much. It's often your brain trying to solve a problem that can't be solved in the moment. In this video, Registered Psychologist Dr. Rameen Kargger explains why anxiety fuels thought spirals, why overthinking feels productive, and shares practical, evidence based strategies to help you break the cycle and find calm.

Stop Believing This Thought: “I’m Not Good Enough”

The thought "I'm not good enough" can feel convincing, but it isn't a fact. In this video, you'll learn three simple, evidence based strategies to challenge negative thinking, examine the evidence, and replace self doubt with more balanced, realistic thoughts.

Psychologist Explains Why Rejection Hurts So Much

Rejection hurts because we're wired for connection. While healthy feelings of rejection can strengthen relationships, unresolved rejection can fuel self doubt, insecurity, and fear of abandonment. In this video, learn how to recognize the difference between real and perceived rejection, regulate your emotions, and build healthier, more secure relationships.

Embarrassment: The Emotion That Protects Social Connection

Embarrassment is a normal emotion that reminds us we care about connection and how we relate to others. But when it becomes overwhelming, it can fuel overthinking, self criticism, and social anxiety. In this video, learn how to understand embarrassment, respond with self compassion, and build confidence without letting awkward moments define you.

When Hope Disappears: Why Depression Feels Like Drowning

In this video, we explore why depression steals hope, how it affects your thoughts, emotions, and daily life, and why healing is possible. If you or someone you love is struggling, this compassionate discussion offers insight, understanding, and a reminder that you don't have to face depression alone.

Shame vs Guilt: The Emotion That Attacks Your Identity

In this video, psychologist, Rameen Kargger, explores how shame can erode your identity, while guilt focuses on actions, not who you are. Learn to recognize these emotions and take steps to protect your self-worth.

Why Too Many Choices Make You Unhappy

In this video, psychologist, Rameen Kargger, explains why decision overload triggers stress, doubt, and regret, and shares practical strategies to simplify choices, reduce anxiety, and protect your well-being.

The #1 Silent Killer of Relationships: Resentment

In this video, psychologist, Rameen Kargger, explores how unresolved frustration and lingering grudges undermine trust and connection—and shares strategies to recognize, address, and release resentment before it takes over your relationships.

The Psychology of Anger: What it is trying to tell you?

In this video, psychologist, Rameen Kargger, explains what anger is really trying to tell you, how to understand its signals, and ways to respond without letting it control your life.
