Step Into the Unknown. Own Your Story.
uncharted

I’m EYO, your guide into the unknown. You might notice I don’t have a face—that’s because I’m here to represent you, me, and every story that has ever been lived, told, or discovered. I’m a reflection of the human experience, a reminder that we’re all navigating this journey together.

Through Uncharted, I’ll share stories, ideas, and hard truths about therapy, growth, and the messiness of being human. Some of these I’ve hashed out myself, others I’ve learned along the way—but all of them are here to help you make sense of your own path.

So, let’s explore. Let’s ask the big questions, face the hard stuff, and find meaning in the journey. Because the beauty of being human? It’s that none of us have it all figured out—we’re all a little Uncharted.

Hi Peeps, I’m EYO! —

Welcome to Uncharted—the space where we explore the unknown, embrace the pursuit, and dare to step into what’s next.

Stress has become an unavoidable part of life. Many people turn to AI-powered self-help tools (we do too!) for instant relief, using habit-tracking apps, virtual coaches, and meditation platforms to manage their mental health. While these tools offer convenience and accessibility, they lack the depth of human connection that is essential for lasting emotional well-being. […]

When we think about addiction, we often focus on the substance or behavior itself—alcohol, drugs, gambling, or compulsive shopping. But addiction is rarely just about the substance; it’s about the why. Why does someone feel the need to escape, numb, or seek control? One of the most overlooked answers is unresolved trauma. Trauma and Addiction […]

Unresolved Trauma: A Hidden Precursor to Addiction

In today’s hyper-connected world, emotional affairs are becoming more common, often developing unnoticed until they cause significant damage. Unlike physical affairs, emotional affairs center around deep emotional intimacy, secrecy, and an increasing reliance on someone outside the primary relationship. While they may not involve physical intimacy, their impact on relationships can be just as devastating. […]

Trust and Truth: The Foundation of Healthy Relationships Trust is the cornerstone of any strong relationship.

Therapy isn’t just what happens in the room. It’s what happens before, after, and in between—in the small but powerful moments that shape real change.
