Did you know?
During times of crisis, the brain shifts into survival mode—making it harder to think clearly, regulate emotions, or make decisions.
The prefrontal cortex (your decision-making centre) goes offline.
The amygdala (your fear centre) takes over.
That’s why everything can feel overwhelming, even if you’ve “handled worse” before.
It’s not weakness. It’s your nervous system doing its job.
But support can help your brain—and your life—start to stabilise again.
Our psychologists understand how crisis affects the mind and body.
Through trauma-informed care and evidence-based strategies, we help you feel grounded again—without judgement or pressure.
🧠 You’re not meant to face everything on your own.
