Ghosts are spooky.
But being ghosted, by a friend, date, or even your own motivation, can feel worse.

Psychologists call this avoidance coping: when we disappear from uncomfortable feelings, conversations, or tasks instead of facing them. It’s human, but it’s also exhausting.

👻 The good news? You don’t have to battle the ghosts alone.
With support, you can learn how to face the stuff you’d rather avoid, and free up energy for what actually matters.

This Halloween, maybe the scariest thing isn’t ghosts… it’s confronting the things we keep running from.

Feeling frazzled? You don’t need a full hour to reset your mind. ⏱️

These 3 quick techniques help calm racing thoughts, boost focus, and restore energy, anywhere, anytime.

🧠 Box Breathing (4-4-4-4): Inhale for 4, hold for 4, exhale for 4, hold for 4.
A simple pattern that tells your nervous system: you’re safe.

✍️ Name What You Notice:
Say (or think): “I see… I hear… I feel…” - a grounding trick that shifts your brain from thinking to sensing.

🚶‍♀️ Micro-Move Break:
Stand, stretch, or walk for 60 seconds. Movement resets attention and boosts mental clarity faster than caffeine.

Our psychologists at The Mind Room teach practical tools like these, so you can show up fully for work, study, sport, or life.

Sport psychology isn’t just for when things go wrong - it’s about building the mental toolkit that helps athletes thrive under pressure, recover faster, and enjoy the game.

At The Mind Room, our sport psychologists work with athletes and teams across all levels to unlock performance and protect wellbeing.

🔥 Hot take: You don’t need to wait for a breakdown to start therapy.

So many people only reach out when things feel unbearable, but therapy is just as powerful before crisis mode. It can help you:

🧠 Build better self-awareness
💬 Strengthen your relationships
🎨⚡ Boost focus and creativity
🛡️ Protect your mental health before it cracks

Therapy isn’t only the fire extinguisher. It’s the spark guard that helps you feel steady, clear, and supported.

✨ Your future self will thank you for starting now.

Ever thought: “I don’t deserve this… they’re going to find out I’m a fraud”?
You’re in good company, a 2020 study found that up to 82% of people experience imposter syndrome at some point in their careers.

From self-doubt and fear of failure to burnout and avoiding opportunities, imposter syndrome has real impacts on mental health and workplace performance.

But here’s the thing: these feelings aren’t proof you’re not good enough. They’re a signal of the systems, pressures, and comparisons shaping our work lives.

In our latest blog, psychologist Cass Middleton explores:
✨ Why imposter syndrome is so widespread today
✨ Warning signs to look out for
✨ How organisations are starting to change the story
✨ What you can do to navigate it (without burning out)

💭 Because the truth is, you’re not a fraud. You’re human.

Stress vs. Burnout: Why the Difference Matters

⚡ Work stress often comes in waves - a deadline, a big presentation, a tough week. It usually eases once the challenge passes.

🔥 Burnout runs deeper. It’s the result of chronic, unmanaged work stress and doesn’t disappear with a weekend off or a good night’s sleep. It can feel like:

Exhaustion that lingers no matter how much rest you get

Cynicism or detachment from your work or colleagues

A loss of motivation or joy in things you once valued

💡 Burnout isn’t just “being tired.” It’s a signal that your mind and body need more support.

At The Mind Room, our psychologists help people move beyond survival mode, with strategies to reset, recharge, and rebuild a healthier relationship with work and life.

✨ You don’t have to push through alone.

Behind the scenes of every community are carers, people who provide unpaid support for loved ones through illness, disability, or mental health challenges.

💙 To all carers: thank you for the essential role you play in our lives and communities.
