Returning to routine and suddenly feeling body pain, fatigue, or muscle tension without a clear cause can feel frustrating…
But often, your body is simply expressing what your mind has not yet processed.

👉 These are psychosomatic symptoms:

• Headaches or neck tension
• Digestive problems
• Fatigue even after resting
• Chest tightness or shortness of breath

Stress, anxiety, or unprocessed emotions can manifest in the body.
💡 The good news is that mindfulness helps you recognize early signs of overload and restore balance between mind and body!

At MHC we work with you to integrate simple practices that prevent overload and support your mental health.

🌱 Because when the mind finds calm, the body finds relief!

Most of the time, it’s not the actual problem that makes you anxious… but the thousand possible scenarios your mind creates.

👉 Example:
• A mistake at work → “What if I get fired?”
• A medical test shows changes → “What if it’s serious?”
• An argument with your partner → “What if they stop loving me?”

These thoughts usually start with “What if…” and spiral into endless catastrophic stories.

💡 Here’s the reminder: these “What ifs” are hypothetical scenarios, not facts.
Most of them never actually happen!

“It’s not that bad.”
“You’re overreacting.”
“That doesn’t make sense.”

How many times have you heard or told yourself these phrases?
They may seem small, but they are powerful ways of emotional invalidation!

👉 Instead of dismissing your emotions, try this:
• Eyes: look at yourself in the mirror and say “I see you. You are valid.”
• Hands: write down what you feel, then dissolve the paper in water.
• Chest: place your hand on your heart and whisper “I know this hurts. And you have the right to feel it.”

Emotional validation is a form of self-compassion and a way of honoring your humanity!

Consulta de Vinculação Materna

A gravidez é um momento único: é quando começa a ligação profunda entre mãe, pai e bebé. Esta ligação, chamada vinculação materna, é essencial para o desenvolvimento emocional e psicológico da criança e para o bem-estar da família.

Na Mental Health Clinic oferecemos consultas especializadas para grávidas e futuros pais, com o objetivo de:
🌿 fortalecer a ligação afetiva com o bebé desde a gestação,
🌿 apoiar emocionalmente a mãe e o pai neste período de mudança,
🌿 preparar a família para a chegada do bebé com mais segurança, calma e confiança.

Acreditamos que cuidar da saúde mental durante a gravidez é tão importante quanto cuidar do corpo. Criar vínculos seguros e positivos desde o início é um passo fundamental para uma parentalidade mais consciente e saudável.

✨ Se está grávida ou vai ser pai, esta consulta é para si, um espaço de partilha, escuta e construção de laços que duram para a vida.

“I don’t understand why I feel like this…”
“I’m not okay, but I don’t know what’s wrong.”

How many times have these thoughts crossed your mind? 🌱

Emotions are not mistakes in the system they always have a function. They work like signals saying: “something here needs attention.”

👀 Learn to recognize the signs:
• Anger → clenched fists, chest heat, muscle tension.
💭 Ask: “What boundary was crossed? What felt unfair to me?”
• Sadness → lump in the throat, urge to cry, heaviness in the chest.
💭 Ask: “What did I lose? What hasn’t been acknowledged?”
• Fear → shallow breathing, trembling, mind stuck in loops.
💭 Ask: “What scares me? How can I face this fear?”

👉 The key is to pause, think, and only then act.
