At Psych Perceptions we believe that life events, thoughts, behaviours and relationships impact how we see and respond to the world around us. When stress, pressure, and breakdown of relationships become overwhelming and influence your ability to live life to its fullest, it may be helpful to speak with someone who can support you in making sense of your experiences and help you to make changes you want to see in your life.

What is your body language telling you about yourself? And how 2 minutes can change you.

Body language affects how others see us, but it may also change how we see ourselves. Social psychologist Amy Cuddy argues that "power posing" -- standing in a posture of confidence, even when we don't feel confident -- can boost feelings of confidence, and might have an impact on our chances for su...

Today is R U OK?Day, at MHF we know from first hand experience the effects of trauma and loss on people after being a bystander at a Sudden Cardiac Arrest event, regardless of the outcome.

With our friends at Psych Perceptions, we have developed a fact sheet about the common reactions to trauma. Please follow the link for the fact sheet:

Thanks to our partnership with Psych Perceptions, a fellow member of the Parramatta Chamber of Commerce, we have developed a fact sheet specific to the common reactions to trauma.

Although a lot of focus is placed on the cardiac arrest victim, there are a number of issues/aspects for the rescuer. We are focussed on supporting individuals who have experienced traumatic experiences as we understand what it means to lose a loved one.

Please take a look and share with your friends and family https://www.mhf.life/fact-sheets.html

Honest words by one of our clients, please share to raise awareness.

These are the words I dread having to say. The moments that have led up to these words leaving my mouth are some of the the most anxiety and shame-provoking times that I face.

Today is "R U OK?" Day, who will you ask or tell?

We’re boldly asking Australia to step up and meet these challenges:

• Who will you reconnect with today? Tomorrow? And the next?
• Who will you reach out to today? Tomorrow? And the next?
• And who will you assure that there’s no shame in asking for help on any day they say “no”?

Investing now in your future best self

Have you ever wondered how your life would have panned out if you had made
a different decision? If you had taken that job opportunity? Enrolled in
that class? Gone on that overseas trip? or Married that person? Where would
you be now?

A great new post by one of our psychologists

One of the questions I'm frequently asked as a psychologist, is whether I
get sick of listening to people's problems. But what some may see as
problems, I see as...

Let's start the conversation.

Let's start the conversation.

It was 4.30pm on a Friday afternoon when the phone rang. I had already
started packing up for the day and my mind had wandered onto my weekend
plans. Automatically I reached for the phone answering “Hi, you have
reached…” my words faded as I listened to the sobs on the other end.

Your journey starts here.

Your journey starts here.

We have all made mistakes. Sometimes we know immediately. As soon as the
moment is past, it hits you “What was I thinking?!?”. At other times, it’s
slow, subtle, and leaves you wondering “How did I get here?” More often
than not, in therapy, I hear about the guilt and self-hate that follows.

For almost three decades, John Francis has been a planetwalker, traveling the globe by foot and sail with a message of environmental respect and responsibility (for 17 of those years without speaking). A funny, thoughtful talk with occasional banjo.

What would you like to do if money was no object?... I am curious, let me know in the comments below.

http://www.collective-evolution.com/2015/08/26/what-if-money-was-no-object-every-person-on-earth-should-watch-this-video/

You probably hear this now-cliché question all the time: “If money was no object, what would you be doing with your life?” But hearing a question multiple times doesn’t make it any less valid. There is a profound truth underlying these words which it seems many of us have come to belittle or outrigh...

As a psychologist the question I am asked most, other than "Can you read my mind?", is "What can you tell about me?". We are so innately curious about ourselves. Notice when you look at a group photo, who do you search for first? Yourself of course. Also you will notice that dinner conversation is often a competition of who can tell the most stories about themselves and their own experience.

For those curious about their own personality, here is a website for the Briggs Myers' Personality Types. There is a free version and you don't have to create a login to see your results.

I have finally finished the 5 love language book, something that has been on my To Do list for years. And only recently achieved because I discovered the power of audio books on long trips.

I started to reflect on my love language, and how funny it is that I communicate love in one language while wanting others to communicate love to me in a different language.

Have you discovered your love language? Here is a short online test to help you find it. http://www.proprofs.com/quiz-school/story.php?title=whats-your-love-langugae

And if you aren't sure what the 5 languages are, here is a description by the author himself. http://www.focusonthefamily.com/marriage/communication-and-conflict/learn-to-speak-your-spouses-love-language/understanding-the-five-love-languages
