A sensory checklist is exactly what it sounds like: a list of sensory experiences that you can filter through and note what resonates ☀️

You might realise certain textures help you calm down, certain sounds help you focus, or certain scents make you feel more alive 🌱

Over time, that awareness is key to helping you intentionally weave more of those experiences into your day. You can then begin shaping environments, routines, and habits that truly support you 🦋

Grief isn’t just emotional, it’s also physiological. 🫀But traditional therapies have focused on talking through grief.
🕊️And talking does help — it supports meaning-making, memory, and understanding.
But grief also activates the body’s stress and threat systems. ‼️
Heart rate changes. ❤️
Breathing shifts. 🫁
Muscles tighten.
That’s why grief often lingers physically long after the you’ve told your story and explored your feelings
Research shows that movement-based approaches — including gentle physical activity and somatic therapies — help by supporting nervous system regulation, emotional tolerance, and recovery after loss.
Movement doesn’t bypass grief.
It helps the body process what words can’t reach.
This is why swaying, shaking your limbs, stretching, and walking, can help you feel safe, leading to healing.

When someone is grieving, your presence matters more than trying to fix their pain.
Grief is complex and different for everyone.

Here are some things to avoid saying — and what can help instead:

❌ “They’re in a better place.”
The pain is that they’re not here.
✔ Instead: “I can’t imagine how painful this is for you.”

❌ “The memories will bring you peace.”
Sometimes memories hurt before they heal.
✔ Instead: “What do you remember most about them?” or “This must be such a hard loss.”

❌ “They would want you to be happy.”
Grief doesn’t follow rules or timelines.
✔ Instead: “I’m here to sit with you in this.”
Or: “Can I bring you dinner tonight?”

❌ “You’re strong. You’ll get through this.”
Strength doesn’t mean pushing pain away.
✔ Instead: “It’s okay to not be okay.”
“I’m here for you.”
“Take all the time you need.”

Sometimes the most supportive thing you can say is simply:
“I’m here, and I’m listening.”

I’m a people pleaser of old! So many years of “bending myself”, 🙏in fact I would say “sacrificing myself” to please others, and boy was it exhausting! 😴 So exhausting that it made me retreat from people for a while.🚪 Of course it was fear that made me do it, fear of being rejected from my chosen tribe, even if it was a tribe I didn’t really identify or maybe even like that much. Because the exhaustion had made me retreat from people anyway, I no longer feared losing them. And it was only then I discovered that what is on the other side of fear is courage. So I mustered up the courage to start saying “no” to being there for everyone and what happened was a bloomin’ revelation! 🚀Not only did the world 🌎 not collapse in on itself, nor was I rejected from the tribe, but something else rather marvellous happened, people started respecting my boundaries 🤺 far more, and it happened almost instantly. And boy what a lovely learning that was😌! I just feel sad for my former younger self that I didn’t really understand that and put so much undue pressure on myself. If this sounds a little like you, practice saying no and see what happens. Treat it like homework, 📚 dip your toe in and then you’ll never turn back. And if you need a greater understanding of where the people pleasing comes from, therapy will guide you towards the answer.

Sometimes being with someone when they are grieving is deeply uncomfortable. We all have had times in life when the people we thought would be there for us in times of unbearable loss just aren’t and yet miraculously those we never imagined would show up, do. This sense of being abandoned during our times of greatest need, changes friendships and relationships irrevocably. And yet what seems like abandonment may actually be a case of someone staying away because they care too deeply about getting it right, and worry about what to say to comfort the grieving person’s. And as each day passes, the fact they have stayed away for so long, becomes another level of discomfort for them, forcing more distance. And yet the irony is that showing up for someone who is grieving demands very little from us. It is not about saying the right words, it’s actually about saying few words. There is no need to produce any profound wisdom or solutions, it’s about receiving the grieving person’s thoughts and feelings, and it’s about doing that without judgment. Helping someone who is grieving is about creating space for their grief not making space between you and them.

I once went to a workshop run by a sassy New York 🇺🇸octogenarian psychiatrist. I noticed that in every interaction he had, whether it was with the hotel staff 🥗an attendee or the minibus 🚎driver, he strived to make it meaningful. He would seem genuinely interested in making them feel seen 😌 and heard, and in turn his features lit up and his step lightened. I commented on it during one of our rushed 15 minute tea ☕️ breaks, and he told me how connection, even the briefest of interactions, optimises our health and mood. I started trying it myself and slowly started noticing how warmth would suffuse through me during and after each connection. And it would linger for hours after, I would feel more benign and less defensive, I seemed to become more open and expanded to life. Who’d have thunk it?! A mere two minutes of connection a create hours of uplift. Well worth trying it for yourself.

With influencers like Brian Johnson 💪and Aggie Lal focusing on data driven📈 methods to optimise our heath and performance, it’s no wonder we get drawn into a million different ideas around how to be our best selves. And whilst that’s compelling in the first rush of 2026 resolution fever, the obsession with “perfect” health data can ironically lead to orthosomnia and chronic stress, where we prioritize data and scores over our own intuition. To optimize without the anxiety, shift your focus from rigid daily targets 🎯 to a more gentle self-acceptance. Try the “Feel First” rule: check in with your energy and mood before looking at your tracking device and remember that listening and nurturing yourself is just as vital a longevity metric as heart rate variability🫀. Real optimization isn’t about fixing a machine; it’s about acceptance, care and nourishment , not perfection.

Uh oh there you go again 🫣, feeling that slow drain of hope, watching the sparkle ✨in your eyes fade to a dull glaze, and asking yourself:

“How did I end up here again? 😣This one was meant to be a keeper! They were meant to keep me floating on this cloud ⛅️ of joy”

“But now I’m noticing the silences, the lack of responsiveness, heck let’s face it…the avoidance”. 😔

And yes there it is again….you’ve landed yet another emotionally unavailable partner. Pattern emerging? It’s not a stream of bad luck 🍀 , it could be because you’re keeping yourself safe ⛔️from having to really reveal yourself…and who better to stop you doing that than someone who is terrified of doing the same themselves? 🚪

And so the dance 🩷💃 of yearning 😔and disappointment continues.

So hop off the dance floor 🪩and start looking at what it is you don’t want to expose about yourself?
- [ ] What is it that you want to keep buried 🙈deep inside and not have anyone see?
- [ ] You’ll know you’re close when you feel a stab of anxiety about some aspect from your past, and you feel yourself shutting it straight down.
- [ ] It could be distrust from an early relationship where you gave all of yourself and ended up hurt
- [ ] Or it could be a feeling of shame you carry from how someone treated you or made you feel.

Whatever it is, it’s powerful enough to warrant your own emotional shut down.

Instead of stepping back into old habits of emotional 💔 , have a think about exploring 🗺️what it is that you are anxious about looking at within yourself.

You know those moments when thoughts seem to be looping around your head 🤯, on repeat? And you find yourself having imaginary conversations 🙊with the person involved in the issue you just can’t stop thinking about. And it’s distracting, and perplexing and tbh really annoying 😣 I expect you ask yourself why can’t I stop thinking about this thing! Well it could be that you’re engaging in the thinking, the over analysis, the problem on repeat discussions with yourself and others, because it’s too painful or difficult to sit with the actual feelings behind it. And let’s face it, sometimes we’re not even sure what the feelings are behind it! 🆘A couple of techniques that can really help you uncover these feelings are tapping 🖐️and journalling. Tapping is brilliant for discovering what’s really going on behind overthinking, why you are triggered and the best part is that just the process of understanding diminishes the worry within minutes. Journal 📝 it out, write down what you think is going on, then ask yourself why this bothers you, then ask yourself what past wound or fear is this issue triggering in you. Keep on going until you get there and you’ll find enormous relief. We love tapping at the Psych Edit so if you’re really stuck call us up on ☎️0405 983109 and we’ll get to the root of things for you.

You know that hottie you’ve been seeing, how they’ve taken over your brain 🧠and you can’t think of anyone or anything else 💭? And you’re hanging out for a text 💬, a loving moment 💕, anything to make you feel that this obsession could turn into a long term love? But you’re left unread, that loving moment is followed by multiple instances of being let down 😔emotionally injured, feeling panicked 🫦that they’re withdrawing from you? And it feels like the most intense but painful emotional roller coaster 🎢 ride of your life? But as bad as this feels, you can’t let go 😟😥 You know it’s eroding your self respect, eroding any sense of stability you had worked so hard to achieve, but you still justify it as chemistry and tbh you probably haven’t felt this switched on 🎰since the last intense romance. Take a step back and look at this feeling, does it remind you of how you used to feel as a child? Ask yourself whether you felt truly emotionally safe as a child, perhaps love felt unpredictable or conditional ⚠️. What’s happening is that your nervous system is recognising a similar level of inconsistency and lack of safety from your childhood. This “spark” “electricity” 💡isn’t romance or chemistry, that’s your nervous system reacting to what feels familiar to you. And because it feels familiar, your anxiety at some level reduces. You’re used to this chaos, but that doesn’t mean that this electric feeling is chemistry. That spark ⚡️ : it’s anxiety dressed as romance ❤️‍🩹. To save yourself a good few decades of this old wound bleeding, work on the wound not the dodgy band aid 🩹 and help it heal.

Even the idea of setting boundaries is terrifying for people. But if you wait to feel strong enough to set a boundary, so much more damage will be done before you set that boundary. The reality is you’re better off just doing it, set that boundary, and your emotions will sort themselves out. Do it and watch your anxiety will dissipate faster than you ever imagined!

Ughhhhhh! 😢😳You’re lying in bed 🛌, having reluctantly woken up from a soft bucolic sleep and you slowly remember it’s Monday again. You feel your heart 💓 begin to flutter and the slow dread build in your stomach. Turns out you’re not a feather 🪶 weight; we all suffer from the cost of adapting from the relaxing tempo of the weekend to the perceived stress of the week….it hits the body and brain like jet lag ✈️ on repeat. And because your lovely brain 🧠 is always on the alert for any threat to your survival, what does it do? It anticipates all the things that could go wrong, doing a very efficient sweep 🧹 of your emotional memory bank 🏦 of weeks where things were hard and the dread was on point. And it conveniently forgets all the weeks that were winners 🥇. So do a switch 🎚️around and actively reframe Monday as a fresh start, a chance to set new intentions 📝for the week you want/deserve/yearn to have. Who knows you could be pleasantly surprised and best of all by reframing your week, your stress level reduces by around 40%! My waistline is happy with that 😉
