Hi there, my name is Parichat Senkum or you can call me by my nickname Gift.

​

Since young, I have always been passionate about humans, languages, books, and music. This led me to have a keen interest in learning and studying psychology, including the various factors that affect human mental health and well-being. I am particularly fascinated by how the brain and body work together and their impact on both physical and mental health.

​

Education:

• MSc. in Clinical Psychology from Leiden University, The Netherlands.

• BSc. in Psychology (International Program) from Leiden University, The Netherlands. I specialized in four majors: Clinical Psychology, Clinical Neuropsychology, Health & Medical Psychology, and Economic & Consumer Psychology.

• BA. in Political Science- Specialization: Public Administration, from Ramkhamhaeng University Bangkok, Thailand.

• Secondary High school Diploma - Specialization: French and Arts from Satree Phuket School, Thailand.

After years of learning and practicing using my knowledge in the area of brain function and mental health, counseling, CBT, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotional Focused Therapy (EF) and Mindfulness, I'm inspired to create the page "The Body & Soul: Take care of your mind, Take care of your soul By Gift Parichat" to help others, both in Thai and English, to help people learn more about their mental health and take care of their well-being.

​

I recognize the importance of addressing mental health issues in our society.  Due to big changes in our society and how cultures and lifestyles started to change rapidly, people communicate more through social media, led to a decline in traditional, close-knit relationships. The private nature of society is being eroded by the trend of sharing personal stories on social media. People become more focused on others' whereabouts while forgetting about their own self. Parents and children become more accustomed to focusing on screens.

​

With these big changes, I believe it is crucial to support and prioritize human mental health to enhance the quality of life and happiness in our society and families.

​

Additionally, my personal experience living with individuals exhibiting personality disorders, particularly Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) and Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), has given me insights into how toxic relationships could impact human well-being. Therefore, this has motivated me to share information and concepts about mental disorders and its impact on life, hoping it may help others who maybe is dealing with similar issues.

​

I sincerely hope this page will be a platform for sharing valuable knowledge about mental and emotional health. I wish for this information to benefit our community, encouraging everyone to care for their mental, emotional, and physical health and their families, fostering strength, resilience, and happiness in life.
