Some days hold opposites.
And your body feels all of them.
Joy and grief. Calm and anger. Hope and exhaustion, sometimes within the same hour.

That doesn’t mean you’re failing at coping. It means your nervous system is responding to a complex world.
When things feel overwhelming, it’s common to try to shut feelings down or push through. But emotions don’t disappear when ignored, they surface elsewhere: in the body, in sleep, in irritability, in burnout.

Wellbeing isn’t about forcing positivity.
It’s about learning how to notice what’s present, make space for it, and steady yourself without becoming consumed by it.
If you’re holding a lot right now, you’re not alone, and you’re not broken.

You may need support, permission, or pause.

If slowing down feels uncomfortable, it is not a personal failing.

It is often a learned survival response.

Many people developed nervous systems that stayed switched on because being alert once felt necessary. Rest can then feel unfamiliar, even unsafe, despite being what the body actually needs.

Healing does not start by forcing yourself to relax.
It starts with understanding why your system learned to stay on guard, and gently showing it that safety can exist in stillness too.

If this resonates, notice it with curiosity, not judgement. That awareness is often the first step toward real repair.

Many people come to therapy asking, “What’s wrong with me?”

It’s a common and understandable question.
A gentler shift can be to ask what has happened to you, and what you had to adapt to in order to cope. Our reactions, patterns, and emotions don’t exist in isolation. They develop in response to relationships, experiences, and the environments we’ve lived in.

When we explore distress through this lens, shame often softens. People begin to see that many of their coping strategies once made sense, even if they no longer feel helpful now.

Therapy can be a space to understand your story with more compassion, and consider how you might want to move forward from here 🤍

Starting therapy often comes with uncertainty, even when it’s something you’ve been considering for a long time.
It’s common for the first few sessions to feel awkward, emotional, or a little uncomfortable. You’re talking to someone new about personal experiences, and your nervous system is learning that this space is safe. That adjustment can take time.

You don’t need to know exactly what to say or how to say it. Therapy isn’t a performance. Your therapist will help guide the conversation, even if all you can name is that you feel unsure or don’t know where to begin.

You set the pace. You can share slowly, ask questions, and let your therapist know when something feels like too much. Building trust happens gradually, and that is a normal part of the process.

If you’re thinking about starting therapy, or are already in those early sessions, this experience is more common than you might expect 🤍

Big feelings often feel urgent. But urgency isn’t the same as importance.

When our nervous system is activated, the body sends powerful signals to do something now, fix this, say it immediately. That doesn’t mean those feelings are wrong. It means they are asking to be noticed, not necessarily acted on straight away.

Self-regulation isn’t about suppressing emotions or being calm all the time. It’s about learning to pause long enough to ask:

• What am I actually feeling?
• What does this part of me need right now?
• Will acting on this feeling help or harm me in the long run?

Sometimes the most psychologically healthy response is allowing the emotion to rise, peak, and pass without rushing to explain, justify, or react. This is how emotional safety and self-trust are built over time.

If you often feel overwhelmed by your emotions, it doesn’t mean you’re “too much”. It usually means your nervous system has learned to stay on high alert. And that’s something that can be gently supported and reshaped 🤍

January can bring pressure to “feel better” or “do better.”
But real mental health support isn’t about quick fixes, it’s about ongoing care 🤍

With the new year, Mental Health Care Plans (MHCP) have reset, which means eligible clients can again access Medicare-supported psychology sessions.

Under the Better Access initiative, you can claim up to 10 individual rebated psychology sessions per calendar year with a valid plan and referral from your GP or psychiatrist.

If support has been on your mind, this could be a helpful place to start.

In loving memory” 🖤

Of the coping strategies that once kept you safe.
Overthinking, rushing, staying in control, being “strong” or hyper-functional were not flaws. They were adaptive responses to stress, uncertainty, or environments where slowing down didn’t feel safe.

Your nervous system learned these patterns to protect you.
And now, with support, awareness, and safety, it can learn new ones 🌱

Letting go doesn’t mean they were wrong.
It means you don’t need them in the same way anymore.

If some of these thoughts feel familiar, you’re not alone 🧠💭

Core beliefs often form early as ways to stay safe, connected, or protected. Over time, they can quietly shape how we see ourselves, our relationships, and the world, even when they’re no longer helping us.

Noticing these patterns isn’t about judging yourself. It’s about awareness. Once a belief is named, it becomes something you can work with, not something running the show in the background.

If this resonates, it doesn’t mean there’s something wrong with you. It means there’s something worth understanding ❤️

To anyone reading this and quietly thinking, “I didn’t do enough this year” pause for a moment.

Strength doesn’t always look like consistency, productivity or big milestones. Sometimes it looks like getting through the day. Sometimes it looks like resting. Sometimes it looks like stopping altogether… and then starting again when you could.

There may have been days you did give up, and that’s okay. That doesn’t erase the days you showed up. The next day came, and you continued in whatever way you could. That matters.

Achievement is a tricky word. It doesn’t have a single definition, and it doesn’t look the same for everyone. For some, it’s career growth or visible wins. For others, it’s surviving grief, managing anxiety, setting boundaries, asking for help, or simply staying. All of those count.

If guilt or shame has crept in around what you think you “should” have done, try meeting yourself with curiosity instead of criticism.

If you’re still here, still trying in any capacity, that’s worth acknowledging. And yes, you deserve to be proud of yourself too 🤍

Tag someone you’re proud of. Or take this as your sign to quietly honour yourself today.

The festive season can fill our “stress bucket” much faster than we expect. Changes to routine, family dynamics, financial pressure, sensory overload, and old memories can all add up, even when parts of the season are joyful.
When the bucket gets too full, stress often spills out in ways we don’t feel proud of later. That doesn’t mean you’re failing. It means your system is overloaded and asking for relief.

Small, intentional stress relievers can make a real difference. Quiet moments, fresh air, sensory breaks, and clear boundaries help release pressure before it overflows. These aren’t indulgences, they’re protective strategies.
If you notice yourself reaching for less helpful coping habits, try meeting that moment with curiosity rather than judgement. Ask yourself what your body or mind actually needs right now, not what it’s trying to escape from.

You don’t have to “do Christmas perfectly.” You just need enough support to get through it with care for yourself intact 🎄

Many people grow up believing they need to be the strong one, the capable one, the person who “has it together.” Over time, that can turn into carrying far more than any one person is meant to hold.

Reaching out for help is not a sign that you’re falling apart. It’s a sign that your nervous system, your mind, and your body have reached their limit. Even the most resilient people have limits. In fact, resilience includes knowing when to lean on others rather than pushing yourself past your capacity.

Support doesn’t erase your strength. It protects it.
If you’ve been coping alone for a long time, it’s understandable that asking for help may feel uncomfortable or unfamiliar. But you don’t have to wait until things feel unbearable. You deserve care long before you reach breaking point.
