Dementia Action Week: 15th - 21st September

Dementia doesn’t just affect the person with the diagnosis — it touches their carers, families, friends, and the wider community.

Sadly, many people living with dementia say that after their diagnosis, friends and even close connections start to drift away, unsure of how to interact or what to say.
This silence can lead to loneliness, isolation, and a growing sense of stigma — when what’s really needed is support, empathy, and connection.

That’s why, during Dementia Action Week 2025, we’re asking everyone to do one simple but powerful thing:
👉 Reach out. Reconnect. Be present.
Because nobody should have to face dementia alone.

Burnout vs. Stress

Knowing the difference can help you get the right support.

Stress = Overload
Short-term, your body is reacting to pressure.

Burnout = Exhaustion
Long-term, unmanaged stress leads to mental and emotional depletion.

For Stress:
- Take short breaks
- Prioritise tasks
- Practice relaxation techniques

For Burnout:
- Longer rest or time off
- Set boundaries
- Seek professional support

You don’t have to do this alone.
Burnout and stress are common, but treatable.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a structured, evidence-based form of therapy that helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours.

It’s based on a simple idea:
The way we think affects how we feel and act.

For example:
💭 “I’m a failure” → 😞 Feelings of shame or sadness → 🛑 Avoiding tasks or socialising

CBT helps you recognise these patterns, challenge unhelpful thoughts, learn new coping strategies, and build confidence and resilience. It's practical, collaborative, and focused on your current challenges — not just your past.
CBT is commonly used for:
Anxiety
Depression
Stress
PTSD
OCD
Sleep difficulties
… and more.

If you’re curious about whether CBT could help you, we’re here to chat. You don’t have to go through it alone. Call us on 07 5476 5386

By engaging in warm social interactions—whether through affectionate touch, heartfelt conversations, or acts of kindness—you naturally boost oxytocin levels. This hormone helps deepen connections, reduce stress, and foster a stronger sense of well-being.
