Hello! I am Roxanne, founder of Therapy Without Boxes. I am super new in my entrepreneurship journey. I am driven by a vision to revolutionise the way we approach psychological distress and empower individuals on their healing journeys. This passion stems from my own profound experiences of losing a loved one to suicide, an event inextricably linked to the damaging practices of the mainstream mental health system, and the harm I endured as an ex-service user myself.
After years of working within this flawed system, I have come to realize the limitations of the predominant biomedical model and the urgent need for a more holistic, person-centered approach. This realization has ignited a desire within me to establish an unconventional counseling practice inspired by the Power Threat Meaning Framework from the British Psychological Society. Psychiatric labels don't tell truthful stories. My goal is to move away from the traditional pathologising of human experiences and instead embrace a compassionate, trauma-informed understanding of distress.

I enjoy spirituality, particularly practise open awareness meditation and body oriented approach (focusing).
I would love to connect to with like-minded and like-hearted folks :)

At this point, I don't really use social media. I am most active on Linedkin. Here's the link https://www.linkedin.com/in/roxannekoh/

Learn it as if it is part of our job :)
(I find uni course more theoretical haha so change it to working)
Anyhow, it would be great to see an actual example of using the Google doc with link to learn the course :)

"I'm not naturally an IG user... can I still build an IG following and help my business?"
YES. How do I know? Because that describes me :)
Thank you for sharing this
Interesting, I notice you didnt mentioned Linkedin though you taught Linkedin?:)

Is there a directory of members? What about filters? Filtering interests and location, for example.
Anyhow, I would love to connect with individuals in themmental health field who are interested in non-pathologising healthcare.
Course Platform Orientation
Has it been a few months since you've used my courses? Visit the Orientation to see what's new: Click here to visit the orientation lessons. Once you're done visiting the above, click "Mark as Complete" below...
What about questions that don't fall on each lesson yet, George? :)
For instance, at this point of writing, I am more interested in posting on LinkedIn than IG. I wonder how can folks who prefer LinkedIn forge better relationship with IG. Further, how do we use IG in tandem with LinkedIn? How to synergise both to ease content creation?
Thank you!
But you are welcome to ask me your non-IG questions on the Q&A calls: www.georgekao.com/qa 🙏🏼
Anyway, may I know what is the cut off time to sign up for the QnA?
Do you mind if we tune in without the video on? (of cos, I would love to ask qn too)
Thank you!

Etiquette for sending private messages: text, audio, or video?
Whether privately messaging someone via email, social media DM, or mobile text, which is better... writing, audio, or video? Here's my personal rule: 1. Writing is most respectful because it's the quickest for the other person to read. 2. The more of a relationship I have with someone, the more they'll likely be patient enough to listen to my audio / watch my video message to them... yet, if it's something I'm asking for / requesting, it's still more respectful to write if possible. 3. If recording audio/video, try to keep it under 1 minute 😅 and more about sharing emotion... not information, which can be shared via writing. 4. Except if I'm volunteering help to someone / doing them a favor, then audio/video longer is fine, but aim for no more than 3 minutes unless it's really super helpful to go longer 😄 5. Another exception -- if I'm responding to a client/student on a Q&A call and it's a video that will be watched by others, then of course, going longer (as you know I do!) than 3 minutes is normal 😂 What are your feelings when receiving a private message from someone you don't know super well? Do you prefer writing, audio, or video? Comment and let's discuss below. You're allowed to disagree with me 😊 (If you cannot see -- or write -- comments below, it means you're not logged in.)
What matters most for me is the intention :)
When you're introducing yourself in a group call...
Instead of just trying to say everything about what you do, make it more of an experience of your energy signature... 3-minute video about this
Let me try! I help people to ditch the labels and rewrite their stories.

🤩 Whose IG presence do you admire... and why?
As part of our co-learning, let's share below some effective ways to use Instagram, by commenting with any examples! When you share the example, also tell us why you think it's effective or resonates with you. If you see no comments below, and no ability to comment, first log into this course.
I'm hoping to learn to appreciate Instagram. I'm old school-Facebook. I like long posts, deep conversations, and interacting in the comments.
My perception of Instagram is that it's all one way. People post. Hardly any comments, and I don't see a lot of people sharing great stuff they find. I'm hoping this course helps me learn to appreciate Instagram because I'm missing something.
Love this so much
I have a question about categories as you also mention projects vs. tasks when doing the Calendaring. I'm confused about how you track or remember your categories? Would they be all the same category names under a Project that would be easy to remember? Alphabetical or areas of life? I can see myself losing track of categories :-( I depend on my search function to find everything and it's time consuming.
1) What are the effective ways to decide our categories (e.g., health, work, family - I suppose)?
2) Just to clarify, you schedule your calendar in terms of categories instead of tasks?
3) What determine the priority of the task in each category?
4) I wonder since you allocate tasks in each category (aka "project" in Todoist), wouldn't you be unable to have a bird eye's view? Tasks in other categories will not be seen.
5) While I understand that what pops up in the calendar is the cateogories we need to prioritise. What if that category does not fit the context at that time?
Thank you!
