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/

Recommended method for taking notes when working through a course... (hat manual)
Taking more than one course at a time? Roughly a third of your time on learning, and the rest on applying it. If you have an hour a week for a course, that is about 20 minutes of watching or reading and about 40 minutes of doing something with it. The watching gives you insight and direction. Your business changes in the other 40 minutes. Two courses at once is usually plenty. And if a course genuinely builds on another one of mine, take that one first -- otherwise, order does not matter much.
Introducing yourself, and messaging your classmates
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 Sending someone a private message? Whether it is email, a social media DM, or a text -- writing, audio, or video? Here is my personal rule: Writing is most respectful, because it is the quickest for the other person to read. The more of a relationship you have with someone, the more patience they will likely have for your audio or video. Even so, if you are asking for something, writing is still kinder. If you do record audio or video, try to keep it under a minute 😅 and use it for sharing feeling rather than information. Information reads faster than it listens. Unless you are volunteering help or doing someone a favor -- then longer is fine, though I would still aim for under three minutes.
Let me try! I help people to ditch the labels and rewrite their stories.
@Roxanne Koh (Therapy Without Boxes) Hi Roxanne, how can I get in touch with you? I don't receive notifications. balbina.hyler@gmail
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.
So when a category pops up in my calendar (when it's time to look at it) I look at that category of tasks in my Todoist to see what's priority to do.
Let me know if that makes sense.
Capture - Categorize - Calendar.
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!
@Roxanne Koh (Therapy Without Boxes) great questions! And, I dive into all this with depth in the Joyful Productivity course -- http://smpl.ro/JoyfulPro -- but you can also get find answers to these in my blog post and free video about CCC -- https://www.georgekao.com/blog/ccc
Take a look at least at the blog post and video, and let me know if that helps :)
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 :)
