Getting through challenges can keep us alive, but it does not always help us heal. When we push past pain without addressing it, our body and mind can carry the weight for years.

Regulating through is different. It means staying present with what we feel, listening to our body’s cues, asking for help when we need it, and setting boundaries that protect our wellbeing.

It is not about avoiding discomfort, but allowing ourselves to process it so it no longer defines us.

What helps you stay connected to yourself during difficult times?

You don’t owe anyone instant answers, access to personal information, or emotional energy you don’t have to give.
Boundaries are simply the limits you set to protect your wellbeing and they can be expressed clearly and kindly.

Here are some ways to take this further in your own life:

Pause before responding. It’s okay to take a moment (or a day) to think before agreeing to something.

Replace guilt with clarity. Saying “no” or “not right now” isn’t selfish, it’s self-respect.
Use “I” statements. They reduce defensiveness and keep the focus on your needs rather than blame.

Practice in safe spaces. Try boundary-setting with supportive friends or a therapist before high-stakes situations.

The more you practice, the easier it becomes to speak up without apology because your needs are valid, and your voice matters.

If boundary-setting feels uncomfortable or you’re not sure where to start, speaking with a psychologist can help you develop the language and confidence to protect your emotional space.

What even is EMDR therapy? 👁️🧠

If you’ve heard of EMDR but aren’t quite sure what it actually does, you’re not alone.

EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing. While the name sounds clinical, the process is grounded in something very human, helping the brain safely process past experiences that didn’t get fully resolved.

Using bilateral stimulation (like eye movements or tapping), EMDR can support the brain in “finishing” what it couldn’t at the time of the trauma. Over time, memories that once felt overwhelming can become less emotionally charged, helping you feel more present, regulated, and in control.

✅ Evidence-based
✅ Used widely for PTSD, anxiety, and trauma-related distress
✅ Can be a powerful complement to talk therapy

This might be worth exploring if you’ve tried other forms of therapy and still feel stuck in certain patterns or triggers.

🧠 Habits that rewire the brain? It’s not just a buzzword…it’s neuroplasticity in action.
Your brain is constantly adapting, which means the habits you choose can shape the way you think, feel, and respond to the world. Some practices help strengthen emotional regulation, focus, memory, and even stress resilience.

Here are a few evidence-informed habits that can support brain rewiring:
✔️ Movement-based learning (like dance or martial arts)
✔️ Stillness and silence through meditation
✔️ Manual, creative work that engages the senses
✔️ Nutritional rhythms (with professional guidance)

Not every tool is for everyone, and sustainable change doesn’t happen overnight. But small, consistent practices can help create powerful internal shifts over time.

August check-in 🧠💗

You’re not behind. You’re not broken. And you’re allowed to begin again.
Whether you’re thriving or just getting through the day, this is your reminder: growth doesn’t always look like progress. Sometimes it’s slow. Sometimes it’s quiet. Sometimes it looks like rest, reflection, or saying no.

✨ You don’t have to be the same person you were in January
✨ You’re allowed to pivot, pause, and change direction
✨ You’re on your own timeline — and that’s enough

Let this month be about self-compassion, not self-comparison.

Growth isn’t always gentle. Sometimes it feels heavy, messy, or even painful. And that doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong.

Leaving therapy feeling emotional, unsettled, or even worse than when you walked in can be part of the healing process. Unpacking old wounds, unlearning patterns, or confronting long-held beliefs takes courage, and it takes a toll.

💭 Discomfort doesn’t mean regression. It can be a signal that something meaningful is shifting beneath the surface.

It’s okay to:
– Not feel “lighter” after every session
– Take time to recalibrate afterwards
– Experience grief as part of letting go

Be kind to yourself. Growth can be uncomfortable, and still deeply worthwhile.

Some days, your best might mean showing up with energy and focus. Other days, it might mean simply getting out of bed, breathing through anxiety, or being kind to yourself in the midst of overwhelm.

Our nervous systems, emotional bandwidth, and circumstances fluctuate — and that doesn’t make you lazy, inconsistent, or weak. It makes you human.

🌀 Progress in healing is rarely linear. Self-compassion is not letting yourself off the hook — it’s recognising what’s actually sustainable and supportive today.

Depression often slows everything down — not just mood, but movement, thoughts, and motivation. One of its most powerful tactics is inertia: the longer you stay still, the heavier everything feels.

That’s why small shifts in movement, even if they seem insignificant, can start to interrupt the cycle. Not because movement is a magic fix, but because it gently re-engages parts of the brain and body that depression tends to shut down.

It could be a stretch. A walk to the letterbox. Opening the blinds. Not to fight depression, but to remind your system that you are still here — still moving.

Consistency is hard when you’re low, but even tiny movements create friction against the pull of stillness.

Sometimes the most effective anxiety tools aren’t the ones that seem logical. They’re the ones that speak directly to the nervous system.

That’s because when anxiety takes over, our body is often in a state of perceived threat — and reasoning with it isn’t always enough. What helps instead are simple, sensory-based techniques that tell the brain and body: you’re safe.

🌀 Humming can help activate the vagus nerve
🌬 Familiar scents can signal comfort
🧠 Externalising anxiety creates space between you and the emotion
🍋 Sharp flavours can interrupt spiralling thoughts
🧘 A physical posture shift can calm your stress response

What works will vary from person to person, but these kinds of tools can be a starting point when you’re feeling overwhelmed and need something practical to anchor yourself.

Sometimes we confuse exposure with healing. But being near the source of your distress doesn’t necessarily soothe your nervous system, especially if it wasn’t safe or manageable the first time. Healing is not about pushing through discomfort. It’s about creating the conditions that allow the body and mind to feel safe enough to process things gradually.

Not every emotion needs to be unpacked. In fact, constantly analysing what you feel can become a quiet form of self-surveillance — an effort to manage discomfort by staying hyper-aware. But true self-regulation isn’t about always watching your inner world. It’s about building a sense of safety that allows you to feel, without needing to control every response.

Healing isn’t something you force. It’s something you support, gently and consistently, with the right tools and the right timing.

Eating disorders are often misunderstood as being solely about food — but the roots can go much deeper.

For many, disordered eating is a way of coping with a nervous system stuck in survival mode. Trauma can reshape how we relate to food, our bodies, and our sense of control. What may look like willpower or discipline on the outside is often an attempt to soothe inner chaos or meet deep emotional needs.

💬 If you relate to this, know that you’re not weak — and you’re not alone. These responses often emerge from fear, pain, or past experiences that taught your body it wasn’t safe.

Recovery isn’t about perfection. It’s about safety, regulation, and reconnecting with your body in a more compassionate way. You deserve support, and healing is possible.
