Assertiveness

Assertiveness

Assertiveness is an act of lessening the divide between what’s on the inner and outer-life. Because the life that is inside needs to be heard on the outside.

Here’s How:

1. What do I really want? What do I really like?

2. Make sure your Yes on the outside is not a No on the inside.

3. Strength and Warmth.

Here’s Why:

1. Assertiveness is a form of Truth-telling.

2. Be divided no more.

3. The real challenge for people who are highly agreeably and compassionate.

What is HomeKit

HomeKit is your first aid kit for the moments when you feel stuck, just when you need it.

This series is densely packed with more than 50 areas covered in this audio-series. The wide-ranging topics ranges from Anxiety to Discipline, Procrastination to Motivation, and Guilt to Grief.

HomeKit is your just-in-time human companion to help you immediately shift-state and get unstuck, as quickly as possible.

The Benefits

1. Quickly help you shift-state, as and when needed to get out of the rut before things escalate.

2. The collection of these specific principles and strategies are life-skills that are generalisable and a huge payoff to your emotional and relational health, as well as your productivity.

3. The deep lessons in each segments target specific roots, not abstract labels.

HomeKit is organised into three areas that constitute a good life.

And here is the Menu of HomeKit that brewing in the kitchen.

Why Choose HomeKit

1. It’s easy to bullshit on a macro level, and much harder to B.S. your way through on a micro level. The chief aim of HomeKit is to target the specifics in a deep way.

2. When you can zoom in on a higher resolution of issues to address, you will invariably increase your send of agency and control.

3. When your challenges are more abstract and less well-defined like diagnostic labels (e.g., depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma), you less likely to get a head-start in improving the situation in your life, simply because the general label, though helpful in some instances, is too general and vague. HomeKit will help you to get unstuck as quickly as possible, and address other related concerns that comes with the territory.

Why I Made HomeKit

My job is to render myself out of a job.

I really mean this. This is one of the reasons I’m drawn to writing, teaching, and making things like HomeKit, so that you can make it your own.

So that you can help your clients be fully alive in this life.

I’ve been a psychologist in clinical practice for more than two decades, in Singapore and Australia, spanning from working in schools, private hospital, psychiatric institution, outreach, and private practice. I’ve also been training other clinicians in the last decade.

HomeKit is my distillation, boiling down to the core based on fundamental principles and what others have found useful (and surprising).

Places I've worked in: Institute of Mental Health, Private Practice and some random Macca's (outreach work, not in-store)

Note: it’s a monthly payment of $26/month for 12 months. Payment stops after, and you’d continue to have a life-time access. The reason for this is so that I can take some time off from clinical practice and record the complete series (> 50 topics) within a year.
