We mean, both Sorell and Moonah are decorated for Halloween - it would feel wrong if we didn't theme the staff meeting snacks accordingly 👻🤣 Although we are very grateful for the delicious apple cake alternatives that one of our clever cookies whipped up.

Our monthly catch up celebrated the spooky season as well as our personal and group achievements. We said a team farewell (don't stress, it's only a temporary one!) and are eager to welcome new (but in one case, old 😉) faces very soon!

Welcome back to our spooky-season special where we shine a light on the phobias that don’t usually get talked about…everyone knows about the fear of heights or spiders, but what about the fear of yellow? 💛 ⭐🌙🤙

Xanthophobia is the fear of the colour yellow. It can include things like sunshine, flowers, post-it notes, or even SpongeBob. It might sound strange, but phobias happen when the brain links something harmless with a feeling of danger. Once that link is made, the body reacts automatically.

For some people, this fear connects to a difficult memory or an overwhelming sensory experience. For others, it’s simply the brain’s way of trying to stay safe, even when there’s no real threat.

If you caught yesterday’s post, you’ll know where this is going…here’s how EMDR can help. EMDR helps the brain safely revisit those stored fear responses and relearn that the situation is no longer dangerous. The fear trigger might stay the same, but the panic starts to fade.

This Halloween, curiosity over judgement. Not every fear makes sense, but every fear has a story behind it. 💛

We're back baby! After a little R'n'R hiatus, we are shining a spotlight on lesser-known phobias to keep the Halloween vibe alive (honestly, though, it is less scary than watching Terrifier).

Linonophobia is the fear of string, ropes, laces, or fibres. For some, the fear can be traced back to feeling trapped or restricted. For others, the texture or sensation itself creates discomfort or panic. The reaction feels real, even when the object is not actually threatening.

Want to know something cool though? Help is available. Do you know about Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing? EMDR teaches the brain that the situation is no longer dangerous. Over time, the fear response softens, and everyday life gets easier.

This Halloween, we’re choosing curiosity over judgement. The brain can go full Hereditary energy about things that are objectively harmless, but it’s doing its best to protect you 🧠❤️

We've shut up shop for some R'n'R and to pick the best tomato plants to pop into our garden beds next week (IYKYK 😂). Re-opening first thing Monday 27th October. Have a good one!

It’s spooky season, which feels like the perfect time to talk about fear. Not the horror-movie kind, but the real, everyday kind.

Everyone’s heard of arachnophobia, but what about the fear of peanut butter?

Yep, that’s real. Arachibutyrophobia is the fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of your mouth. It sounds silly until you realise phobias aren’t about logic, they’re about the body remembering fear. Phobias are intense, persistent fears that arise when the brain links a harmless situation with danger and the body reacts as if it’s happening again.

At Psyche MHC, our clinicians are trained in Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) which is a highly effective treatment in helping your brain unpair fear from the memories or sensations that keep it stuck. It’s all about helping your mind recognise that you’re safe now, even around toast.

So this Halloween, maybe it’s time to unstick what’s been holding you back.

👻 Some ghosts really don’t know when to quit. They pop up in your head like, “Remember that thing from 2016?” Yeah, no thanks; we’ve healed since then.

This week’s Monday Motivation (Halloween edition):
I’m done being haunted by things I’ve already survived.
Healing doesn’t mean ignoring the past. It means doing the work and keeping the ghosts out of the director’s chair.

So if your brain tries to replay the old scenes, remind it you’ve already survived the movie. Roll credits.

🕯️ Here for the people doing the work and choosing peace over reruns. You’re braver than your ghosts give you credit for.

Sun's out, fun (is starting to come) out! What a difference a little more sun can make - love or hate daylight savings, we definitely notice the difference it brings to the energy around us!

The fun started seeping through the walls at both Psyche MHC Sorell and Moonah this week. There was supervision accompanied by popcorn and overseen by the glowing eyes of our Halloween kitty. The blooms brought colour and a return to puzzling got the kitchen convos going, as well as a desperate search for Wally.

Oh, and we had a visit from an old friend who we are hoping to see much more of very soon ❤️

It's heading towards one of our favourite times of year and we know that dome days the scariest thing isn’t a haunted house, it’s your own head.

The overthinking. The what-ifs. The “did I actually send that email or just dream it?” chaos.

If your brain feels a bit monster-movie-in-progress today, that’s okay. Courage isn’t about being fearless, it’s about breathing through the fear, one deep inhale at a time.

Our team is here if your monsters start getting too loud. You don’t have to face them alone. A zombie apocalypse on the other hand, we are outta here. It’s every person for themselves.

World Mental Health Day 2025.

In every catastrophe, there are two emergencies: what you see on the news, and what people carry inside. Both need care.

This year’s theme, "Mental Health in Catastrophes and Emergencies" is a reminder that wellbeing doesn’t hit pause when life falls apart. Fires, floods, pandemics, crises - they all leave invisible scars long after the headlines fade.

Mental health is not an optional extra. It is a human right, as vital as food, water and shelter in times of chaos. Protecting minds protects futures.

So today, let’s remember: when we talk about recovery, resilience, and rebuilding, we’re talking about people. And people need support for both their bodies and their minds.
