Ever felt heavy, anxious or numb after watching the news?

It’s a common human response. Our brains are wired for threat detection. constant exposure to distressing events can keep the nervous system in a state of alert, even when we’re not personally in danger.

Distressing material on the news or social media can repeatedly activate stress responses, blur the line between awareness and overexposure and create a sense of helplessness or loss of control.

When we are exposed to this on an ongoing basis, it can lead to:
- heightened anxiety or worry,
- low mood or hopelessness,
- sleep disruption, and/or
- emotional exhaustion,
but this doesn’t mean something is “wrong” with you.

To relieve this distress, it might help to:
- set intentional limits on news consumption,
- choose reliable sources over constant scrolling, and/or
- learning to notice when your body signals “enough.”

If it feels all too much, try to focus on your "sphere of control," meaning to:
- re-anchor to daily life and values,
- engage in meaningful, local, or values-based actions, and
- allow rest without guilt.

When the distress is persistent, interfering with sleep, work, or relationships, or bringing up past trauma, then professional support may be helpful.

However, if you need support now, help is available.

Mental health challenges are common, but myths can make them feel isolating. 🫂

Keep reading to learn the truth about some common myths:

1. "Challenges with mental health are rare."
1 in 5 australians experience a mental health condition each year. Mental health challenges are actually quite common, yet stigma makes many feel isolated.

2. "Talking to your loved ones is enough, you don't need therapy."
The fact is professional help provides evidence-based strategies tailored to your needs. Friends and family are valuable supports, but a psychologist can offer further insight from a non-biased perspective.

3. "People with mental health challenges are just lazy."
The fact is while it doesn’t impact everyone with mental health challenges, mental health struggles can reduce energy, focus, or motivation - it’s not laziness.

4. "Recovery is a straight, upwards journey."
The fact is recovery often involves ups and downs, progress is rarely linear. However, setbacks are part of growth and don’t mean failure.

5. "Therapy is just talking about feelings."
The fact is that therapy can involve teaching strategies, coping skills, and practical problem-solving. Approaches are tailored and evidence-based.

Your mental health journey doesn't have to be just about 'getting better.' It’s about learning, adjusting, and showing up for yourself along the way.

💭 Have you ever noticed your body react to stress?

Maybe its a headache after a busy day, butterflies in your stomach before a big event, or aches, pain or fatigue when you’re feeling overwhelmed.

This is the brain-mind-body connection! Your thoughts, emotions, and stress don’t just live in your head - they affect your whole body.

When this becomes concerning, a 'Health Psychologist' can help people understand and manage how stress, emotions, and behaviour affect health.

Health psychologists can support concerns such as chronic pain & fatigue, IBS / IBD & digestive health, functional neurological disorders (FND), stress, burnout & performance challenges, adjustment to chronic health conditions and more.

To do this, they use evidence-based approaches like CBT and ACT, mindfulness & self-compassion, stress management and pacing strategies to help you feel more in control, resilient, and balanced.

If you're curious to learn more about how understanding your brain-mind-body connection could improve your wellbeing, we invite you to visit our blog!

We understand that for some, the holiday season can be particularly difficult to navigate, often bringing more expectations than capacity. Boundaries are important in helping you stay connected without abandoning your own limits.

Here are some tips for setting boundaries and honouring your capacity during this years busy period!

1. Check and be mindful of your capacity.
We often overcommit during the holidays. before you say yes, pause and check:
- How am i feeling physically?
- What’s my emotional bandwidth?
- What else is happening this week?

2. Be clear about your boundaries.
Simple, direct language works best, like...
- “i’d love to come, but I need a quieter day.”
- “I can stay for an hour.”
- “I won’t be able to make it, but thank you for thinking of me.”

3. When big gatherings feel draining.
Try setting time limits around duration. you could plan to:
- Arrive later,
- Leave earlier,
- or schedule downtime before or after the event.

4. Navigate uncomfortable topics respectfully.
It’s okay to avoid topics that feel stressful to discuss. try saying:
- “I’m not discussing that today,” or
- “Let’s talk about something lighter.”

5. Have a plan or strategy to manage difficult events.
This might be:
- A cue that you are ready to leave shared with a safe person.
- A planned check-in call or text from a friend.
- A quiet step outside.

Finally, remind yourself: you can connect and celebrate the holidays while still honouring your needs.⭐

Feel stuck in a loop where you just can't stop overthinking? 💭⛈

1. Notice what is happening.
The first step is awareness of the situation. pause and label it: “i am aware that i am overthinking right now.” This helps your brain shift from being in the thought to observing it, lowering the emotional intensity.

2. Bring attention to your body.
Ground yourself: feel your feet on the floor, stretch your hands, or take three slow breaths. Notice textures, smells and sights around, shifting your focus.

3. Ask yourself, is this a problem I can solve right now?
If yes: write down one small step you can take next.
If no: remind yourself “there is no rush, i can come back to this later.”

4. Create some distance with perspective.
Overthinking can often mean we zoom in to one fear, situation or stressor. ask yourself: “how will this change in the next week? or in the next year?” Remind yourself, not everything is urgent.

5. Gently redirect your worries.
Shift your attention to a grounding activity, for example: going on a walk. journaling about what you feel, instead of what you think. or trying a sensory task/engaging in hobbies.

Finally, know that you don’t need to carry it all on your own. We’re here to walk alongside you through life’s ups and downs.

Not every step forward feels like a step forward. Resting, grieving, or saying no can be the quiet work that fuels real growth.

Ever noticed that your system just 'goes offline?' 🪫

Shutdown happens when stress, overwhelm, or intense emotions exceed what your mind and body thinks it can manage.

It can feel numb, detached, foggy, or physically drained. You may notice thoughts slow, decisions feel heavy, and even small tasks can feel impossible.

This can happen because your brain’s threat detection system (amygdala) can become overactive under stress. To protect you, the body may trigger a freeze response. your heart rate and thinking slows, and muscles relax, allowing your system to cope safely.

Recovering happens gradually. You may feel disconnected at first, and that’s okay.

Trust that each small step - time to rest, quality time with loved ones or enjoying your own company - helps your mind and body regain balance naturally.

But also know that you don’t have to manage it alone. If you need help, our team is here to support you in navigating life’s joys and challenges.
