📱 Are we all a little bit burnt out?

“Burnout” has become one of the most talked-about topics in psychology right now and for good reason.

Many people are feeling overwhelmed by the constant pressure to be productive, responsive, and “always on.” Between work demands, family responsibilities, financial stress, and the endless notifications from our phones, it can feel like our minds never truly get a break.

Burnout isn’t just feeling tired after a long week. It can show up as:
• Ongoing exhaustion
• Feeling emotionally drained or detached
• Reduced motivation or productivity
• Increased irritability or difficulty concentrating

One of the biggest challenges with burnout is that it often builds slowly. Many people keep pushing through, thinking they just need to “work harder” or “get more organised,” when what they actually need is rest, support, and healthier boundaries.

Psychologists reminds us that sustainable wellbeing doesn’t come from doing more it comes from creating balance, connection, and space to recover.

If you’ve been feeling constantly overwhelmed or running on empty, you’re not alone. Talking with a psychologist can help you understand what’s contributing to the burnout and develop strategies to regain balance.

💭 What is DBT – and why do people talk about it so much?

Have you ever felt like your emotions are so intense that they take over? Or found yourself reacting in ways you later wish you hadn’t?

This is where Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) can help.

DBT is a practical, skills-based therapy designed to help people:
✨ Manage overwhelming emotions
✨ Reduce impulsive or self-destructive behaviours
✨ Improve relationships
✨ Feel more in control of their thoughts and reactions

One of the unique things about DBT is that it teaches real-life skills you can use every day. These skills fall into four main areas:
🧠 Mindfulness – learning how to stay present in the moment
🌊 Distress Tolerance – getting through difficult moments without making things worse
💬 Interpersonal Effectiveness – communicating your needs and setting boundaries
❤️ Emotion Regulation – understanding and managing strong emotions

DBT was originally developed to support people experiencing intense emotional distress, but today it is widely used to help people with anxiety, mood difficulties, relationship challenges, and anyone who wants better tools for navigating life’s ups and downs.

Think of it as learning emotional life skills that many of us were never taught.

Today we celebrate International Women’s Day — a time to recognise the strength, resilience, and achievements of women everywhere. 💜

As psychologists, we have the privilege of witnessing the courage, growth, and determination of so many incredible women in our community every day. From navigating life’s challenges to supporting others around them, women continue to inspire us with their compassion and perseverance.

Today we honour the voices, stories, and contributions of women in our community and beyond. We remain committed to supporting women’s wellbeing, empowerment, and access to compassionate mental health care.

Happy International Women’s Day. 🌸
