🌊 When the Ocean Became a Trigger
💚 Mental Health Month 2025 | Connecting When It Counts

Sometimes, the places we once loved can become the very things that scare us most.

For one of our psychologists, that place was the ocean, a space that once brought joy and calm, until a diving incident turned it into a powerful PTSD trigger.

In this deeply personal story, she shares her journey through panic, trauma, and recovery, and how she learned to retrain her brain, reclaim her connection with the water, and find peace again.

This Mental Health Month, we’re reminded that healing doesn’t mean forgetting, it means finding new ways to live with old scars and still step forward with courage. 💙

☕ Mental Health Month 2025 | Connecting When It Counts 💚

This October, as part of Mental Health Month, we’re inviting you to take a mindful pause, coffee in hand, phones down, and join us for a conversation that matters.

In our latest blog, Coffee with a Psychologist, we share five things we wish everyone knew about mental health, the honest stuff that doesn’t always make it onto the posters.

From knowing you don’t have to be “bad enough” to get help, to realising motivation often shows up after you start, this read is about small actions, gentle truths, and connecting when it counts, with yourself and others.

💬 Take five minutes, pour yourself a cuppa, and read the blog here: https://paragonpsychconnect.com.au/mental-health-month-2025-coffee-with-a-psychologist/

Because the best conversations about mental health don’t always happen in therapy. Sometimes, they start over coffee. ☕💚

🧠 October is Mental Health Month 🧠

This year’s theme ‘Connecting When It Counts’ reminds us that real wellbeing isn’t just about coping when things are tough, but also about building meaningful connections and having timely conversations that help us feel seen, supported, and understood. 💚

In that spirit, our latest blog explores how to connect with one very important person - yourself.

💭 Don’t Believe Everything You Think

Our minds can act like a faulty GPS, confidently sending us down the wrong road with thoughts like “I’m hopeless at this” or “Everyone’s judging me.”

In this blog, we unpack how to spot when your mind’s navigation system has gone off course, and how to challenge those automatic, unhelpful thoughts before they take over.

You’ll learn:
✨ Why not every thought deserves your trust
✨ Two simple techniques to fact-check your thinking
✨ How to separate stories from truth and find calm, clarity, and self-compassion

Because connecting when it counts also means knowing when to question your own thoughts and reconnect with reality.

📹 Pain Facts 3 – Pain Without Injury, Injury Without Pain

September was Pain Awareness Month, an annual global campaign to spread awareness of pain and pain management. Today’s Pain Fact might surprise you.

❓ Does pain only occur with injury?
👉 False.

Athletes often don’t feel injuries until after competition.

Phantom limb pain occurs without tissue damage.

Some bruises look bad but don’t hurt.

Pain is a protective mechanism, not a direct measure of tissue damage. Context matters.

🎥 Watch the video to see why pain isn’t always what it seems.

💚 Today is World Mental Health Day and October is Mental Health Month 💚

We often talk about mental health when things aren’t going well, but real connection means being open before we reach breaking point.

In our latest video podcast, four psychologists from Paragon PsychConnect open up about something rarely discussed so honestly in our field – our own mental health journeys.

We may spend our professional lives helping others through anxiety, depression, trauma, and burnout, but that doesn’t make us immune.

In this heartfelt discussion, we share personal stories of losing balance, finding perspective, and doing the hard work to heal using (and sometimes resisting!) the very tools we teach our clients.

This episode is a reminder that being human comes before being a professional, and that even psychologists need to connect when it counts. 💬💚

😴 Sleep Facts 3 – What disturbs your sleep the most?

For our final Sleep Facts video, we’re tackling the question: What really disrupts sleep?

Stress, noisy environments, or a restless mind can all play a role, but one of the biggest culprits is 👉 snoring (yours or your partner’s).

Snoring can break up deep, restorative sleep cycles and leave you feeling drained, even if you’ve spent 8 hours in bed.

✨ In this video, we unpack the most common sleep disturbances and how they impact your rest.

😴 Sleep Facts 2 – Is it normal to wake up during the night?

Our Sleep Facts series continues with one of the most common questions we hear: “If I wake up at night, am I a bad sleeper?”

Good news 👉 Waking up is completely normal! It’s part of your natural sleep cycle.

What matters isn’t the wake-up itself, but how easily you drift back to sleep, and how refreshed you feel in the morning.

✨ In this video, we explore what “normal sleep” really looks like and why those 2am wake-ups aren’t something to panic about.

😴 Sleep Facts 1 – How much sleep do you really need?

Welcome to our Sleep Facts series! We’re busting common myths about rest and sharing what science (and experience) really says about sleep.

We’ve all heard it: “You need 8 hours every night.”
But here’s the truth 👉 there’s no one-size-fits-all.

Some people thrive on 4 hours. Others need 12. What matters most is finding the right balance for your body, and remembering that sleep needs naturally change throughout your life.

✨ In this video, we break down the myths about the “perfect” sleep amount and explain why it’s different for everyone.

📹 Pain Facts 2 – We Don’t Have “Pain Receptors”

September is Pain Awareness Month, an annual global campaign to spread awareness of pain and pain management. Here’s another myth-buster from our Pain Facts series.

❓ Do special pain receptors send pain messages to your brain?
👉 False.

We don’t have pain receptors – we have nociceptors, or danger receptors.
Your brain evaluates those signals and decides if pain is necessary. Pain isn’t a direct message, it’s an experience created by your brain.

🎥 Watch the video to understand how pain really works.

📹 Pain Facts 1 – Pain vs. Unconscious Danger Signals

September is Pain Awareness Month, an annual global campaign to spread awareness of pain and pain management. That’s why we’re sharing our Pain Facts video series, busting common myths about pain.

❓ Is it possible to have pain and not know about it?
👉 False.

Pain always requires awareness. It’s your brain’s alarm system, alerting you to perceived danger.

Even under general anaesthesia, your body still receives danger signals – but because you’re unconscious, you don’t feel pain.

🎥 Watch the video to learn more.

💜 Jean Hailes Women’s Health Week | 1–5 September 2025

✨ Theme: Say yes to you

This Women’s Health Week, we’re sharing a deeply personal story: a 20-year journey through early menopause from the shock of diagnosis at 42, to the life-changing role of HRT, and the lessons learned along the way.

Menopause isn’t a one-size-fits-all experience. It’s physical, emotional, mental, and deeply personal. By talking about it openly, we break stigma, challenge myths, and remind women that they are not alone in this transition.

Whether you’re navigating symptoms yourself, supporting a loved one, or simply curious about what midlife can bring, this blog offers insight, encouragement, and hope.
