About

Hello, everyone! 
Welcome to The Psychology Elf, a psychology and mental health blog! I’m Cherry, the creator, and writer of this blog!

I have always had a deep passion for writing. Upon growing up, I discovered that I’m interested in psychology as well. 

Pursuing psychology showed me the light in the dark. It answered all the questions I had. Like, why are some people more sensitive? Or, why do people find it difficult to say no? etc etc. Psychology helped me understand myself and the people around me better. My story is quite a cliche, right?

But, I realized that there are plenty of people who aren’t pursuing psychology as a career. So, unlike me, they don’t have the means to understand things. 

And that was when an idea struck me and I decided to combine all my interests  (writing, reading, and psychology) into one and started this blog. Of course, it happened after years of procrastination.

With my blog posts, I aim to answer questions, you didn’t even know you had. I want to create more conversation around all things related to mental health and psychology. 

No, I’m NOT a professional, and my blog is NOT therapy. But, the blog pieces I write are ALWAYS reviewed by a psychologist. And, I cite the resources that I use to write my blog posts at the bottom. 

This might not be the most professional introduction out there, but I’m just starting out. And, I’d be more than happy if you decide to join me on this ride. It will be worth it, I promise.  

Love Always, 
Cherry.
