Many people wonder why they experience strong emotional reactions, anxiety, or relationship difficulties when there is no clear cause in their own life history. In some cases, the answer may lie in intergenerational trauma.

Research shows that trauma can influence family systems, attachment patterns, and stress responses across generations. However, it is equally important to recognise that these patterns are not fixed.

With awareness, supportive relationships, and evidence-based therapy, individuals can begin to understand their experiences and create meaningful change.

If you need support, you can book an appointment with our psychologists or read more in our latest blog post: https://spencermentalhealthcare.com.au/intergenerational-trauma-research-treatment/

Many people assume eating disorders are always related to body image or weight concerns. However, Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) is a lesser known eating disorder that is often misunderstood.

ARFID involves highly restrictive eating patterns that may be linked to sensory sensitivities, fear-based avoidance of food, or a low interest in eating. It is not simply picky eating, and it is not caused by poor parenting.

ARFID can affect both children and adults and may lead to nutritional deficiencies, anxiety around food, and significant stress at mealtimes. Early assessment and evidence-based support can make a significant difference.

At Spencer Mental Health Care, our psychologists provide assessment and treatment for eating disorders, including ARFID.

If you are struggling with ARFID, visit our blog for more information, or reach out to us to book an appointment with one of our psychologists.

It could be more than just the “winter blues.” Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is a form of depression that follows a seasonal pattern, most commonly in fall and winter.

ADHD in teens isn’t about laziness or lack of motivation. Rather, executive functioning skills—like planning, organisation, time management, and emotional regulation—can be especially challenging in adolescence with ADHD🧠
