Day 1 of the 2 day Creative Media Skills Training Programme on Story telling, Videography and Photography, powered and sponsored by the Richking Empowerment Commons. This training is being held at the Quintessential Healthcare Centre.

Today, we looked at the art of story telling. Story telling is said to be the art of narrating a fictional or non fictional event with the purpose of education and entertainment.
A good story must have a beginning, a middle and an end and most times, you don't necessarily have to use words as they are, this could be for the purpose of suspense or drawing attention to your story. For a story to be good, it has to have a relatable character, a conflict and a resolution.
Looking at Photography, it is said to be the art of creating images by recording light; 3 things that need to be in place for a good photography are Aperture, ISO and the Shutter Speed., photos are for the purpose of creating memories and telling stories without having to use words.

Individuals with mental health conditions like anxiety or depression may use drugs in an attempt to alleviate symptoms and hide painful thoughts and feelings. This avoidance can be seen as "caging" of the darkness.
Initially, drugs may provide temporary relief, creating the illusion of control over one's pain. However, this is a form of avoidance, and the underlying issues remain unaddressed, when these emotions are suppressed, they gain control from the shadows, influencing decisions and actions without conscious awareness. The "darkness" grows, leading to a cycle where more of the substance is needed to keep the feelings at bay, often worsening the mental health conditions in the long run.
Let me remind you that recovery requires vulnerability and an end to hiding. By acknowledging the pain and trauma that led to addiction—bringing it into the light through therapy, support groups, and open communication, an individual can begin to address the root causes and work towards true healing.

Neurobiologically, addiction involves a "dark side" or "anti-reward system" where brain stress systems become dysregulated, leading to a neg*tive emotional state during withdrawal. This chronic stress can drive 'compulsive drug-seeking' behavior in the person, in a desperate attempt to find relief. Only by confronting and working through this cycle, rather than continually numbing it with drugs, can an individual recover.
In essence, you must face your inner demons head-on to conquer them; using drugs to keep them "caged" is a temporary, and ultimately destructive, avoidance strategy.

Having said that, don't you think it's time to talk to someone and just let it all out? That's why we're here. At Quintessential Healthcare Centre, we always have your best interest at heart; our team 'g*t' you covered. We love to see you smile! 😊
