🤔 Is it OCD or just a habit?

Ask yourself:
✔️ Do the thoughts feel intrusive or upsetting?
✔️ Do you have to do something to get relief?
✔️ Do habits take more than an hour a day or affect your life?
✔️ Do you avoid certain situations out of fear?
✔️ Do you feel embarrassed or ashamed of your thoughts?

👉 If you’re saying yes to most of these, it could be OCD not just routine. Talking to a psychologist can help. 💙

Children carry more stress than we often realise.

School pressure, friendships, family changes, and constant stimulation can quietly affect a child’s mental health — even when they can’t explain how they’re feeling. Stress often shows up as behaviour, sleep changes, emotional outbursts, or withdrawal.

Early support makes a difference. With the right guidance, children can learn healthy ways to understand emotions, manage stress, and build resilience.

Break Free from Avoidance with ACT 🧠✨

Feeling stuck or avoiding uncomfortable emotions and situations? You’re not alone.

Avoidance might give short-term relief, but over time it can increase anxiety and limit growth.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps you:
- Accept difficult thoughts and feelings
- Step back from negative self-talk
- Identify what truly matters to you
- Take small, meaningful actions aligned with your values

ACT empowers you to move forward, even in the presence of discomfort, and start living with purpose and clarity.

Ready to reclaim your life? Learn more about ACT and how it can help here: https://www.mlapsychology.com/break-free-from-avoidance-act-therapy/

Parents & Caregivers Matter 🧡👨‍👩‍👧

Support begins at home, and even small everyday actions can have a big impact.

đź‘‚ Listen openly. Let children share their feelings without trying to fix things right away. Validation helps them feel understood.

🏡 Keep things steady. Routines, gentle check-ins, and open conversations create a sense of safety and belonging.

💬 And when you’re unsure, it’s okay to say, “I’m here for you, even if I don’t have all the answers.” Sometimes, that reassurance is enough.

What Is Avoidance Really? 🤔

Avoidance isn’t always obvious. It can appear as:
- Scrolling endlessly instead of starting a passion project
- Saying “I’m fine” when you’re overwhelmed
- Cancelling plans due to anxiety
- Putting off job applications out of fear of rejection

This is called experiential avoidance, trying to escape unpleasant thoughts or feelings.

While it may feel helpful short-term, over time it can limit growth, shrink your world, and stop you from living with purpose.

You may be functioning — but that doesn’t mean everything is okay inside.

High-functioning PTSD looks like productivity, reliability, and keeping life together — even while you’re struggling internally with anxiety, exhaustion, tension, or emotional numbness. Just because you’re coping on the outside doesn’t mean you don’t deserve support.

Learn more about what high-functioning PTSD really is and how healing begins with understanding, read our new blog about High Functioning PTSD today at MLA Psychology Blog.

You Don’t Need the Perfect Words

You don’t have to fix someone’s challenges or know exactly what to say.

What truly matters is showing up with care, curiosity, and a willingness to listen. Being present is often the greatest support you can give. đź’™

Ignoring a Child’s Boundaries Can Have Lasting Effects 🚫

Forcing hugs, dismissing discomfort, or denying privacy may seem harmless, but it teaches children that their boundaries don’t matter.

Without learning to honor and express their limits, they may struggle to assert themselves in relationships, leaving them vulnerable to manipulation or abuse later in life.

âś… Respect their space, listen, and teach them to set boundaries. It builds confidence and safety.

New Year, New Goals — But Is Your Mind Holding You Back?

Weight loss and healthy habits aren’t just about diet or exercise. Emotional eating, stress, and negative thought patterns often sabotage even the most determined resolutions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps you understand why you eat, identify triggers, and build lasting habits that actually stick — without guilt or self-criticism.

Make 2026 the year you work with your mind, not against it.
