POV: January is almost over, and your resolutions are untouched.

Guess what? That’s okay.

Perfection is the enemy of progress 🧡.

Still blaming yourself for a resolution that didn’t last?

Your brain wasn’t “unmotivated” — it was protecting you.

Our new blog explores:
✨ Why willpower is overrated
✨ How micro-habits create change without pressure
✨ Why systems work better than goals for mental health

Because real change doesn’t come from intensity — it comes from safety and repetition.

Public holidays often come with noise and heavy expectations, but at The Talk Shop, we know today feels different for everyone.

Whether you're at a BBQ or practising quiet reflection, remember it is okay to:
1️⃣ Unplug from social media if it feels overwhelming.
2️⃣ Set boundaries with friends or family.
3️⃣ Rest and recharge without guilt.
4️⃣ Acknowledge that complex emotions are valid.

However you spend your Monday, make sure there’s room for you in the plan.

We’re back in the clinic tomorrow. If you need a space to talk, Call 1300 224 665

Is the heat getting to you?

Research shows a direct link between rising temperatures and increased feelings of anxiety and irritability.

If the 38°C peak has you feeling overwhelmed, try these three steps to protect your peace:

1️⃣ Stay indoors during the 11 AM – 4 PM peak.
2️⃣ Use "Sensory Grounding" with cold water or a fan.
3️⃣ Send a quick check-in text to a friend.

January often feels like a race to "fix" ourselves, but mental health isn't about a total overhaul—it's about small, sustainable shifts. This month, swap rigid resolutions for micro-habits:

* Hydrate for Headspace: Keep your focus sharp and mood stable, especially in the heat. 💧

* The 5-Minute Morning: Step outside for a breath of air before the digital rush begins. ☀️

* Permission to Rest: It is okay to say "no" to social plans if you’re still feeling drained. 🛌

Your mental health doesn’t need a deadline.

Online Therapy vs In-Person Counselling: What Does the Evidence Say in 2026?

Choosing between online psychology and in-person therapy isn’t always straightforward. With more people accessing telehealth than ever, it’s important to understand what the research actually says.

We’ve just published a new evidence-based blog exploring the latest studies comparing online therapy and face-to-face counselling — including effectiveness, therapeutic connection, and when one option may suit you better than the other.

If you’re considering therapy and unsure which format is right for you, this guide can help you make an informed choice based on current research and real-world practice.
