ℹ️🌿 HOW TO BOOST SELF-REGULATION AND OVERCOME BAD STRESS |

Self-regulation is more than just getting to a state of calm. It can be beneficial to view stress as a spectrum and to understand what is actually happening in the mind and body when we become triggered and are experiencing symptoms of bad stress. Bad stress can have a debilitating effect on our physical and mental health when we feel like we can’t cope with the given situation.

Stress can be viewed as the nonspecific response of the body to a demand for change. Stress impacts our physiology and can have a detrimental effect on our cardiovascular system, our endocrine and immune systems and on our muscles. Not all stress is bad, however, as we might be bored in the absence of a motivating influence to improve our performance. So, bad stress is when we feel out of control and struggle to cope.

It seems counterintuitive, but in the most difficult times focusing on what is still right, and being grateful for it, may help decrease the impact of the stressor.

Quote of the Day








29/05/2025

The next time you have a negative thought, take a moment to pause and simply recognize it for what it is: just a thought. That’s the first step in stopping a negative thought pattern in its tracks. Neuroscience tells us that the more we use a particular circuit in our brain, like negative thinking, the easier it is to fall into that same thought pattern in the future.

What will you choose to pour your energy into in 2025? 🤔
It’s not always easy to know what truly deserves our time and attention, but a powerful first step is to take inventory of the areas in your life that have been draining you. 🪫🥱

By working backward and identifying these energy drains, you can clear space to focus on what truly fuels you—what helps you grow, thrive, and feel aligned. ⚡

Make this the year you redirect your energy toward what matters most.

Sending love,

Davel Psychologist Jhb

I am a registered Clinical Psychologist (HPCSA 0130923) and my practice is based in Melville/Westdene Johannesburg. I work with teenagers, adults and the elderly. Areas of specialty and interest: - Major Depressive Disorder - Anxiety Disorders, Trauma, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) - Bipolar Mood Disorder - Personality Disorders - Sexual Identity - Gay/Lesbian affirmation therapy - Living with HIV support - Bereavement - Stress/ Burnout - Cancer diagnosis support (Psycho-Oncology) , Divorce - Family therapy - Conduct Problems, Geriatric Psychology.

As a Psychologist I prescribe to an integrative therapeutic approach, meaning I tailor my therapeutic approach around the specific needs of each individual client. I am bilingual and fluent in both English and Afrikaans. I completed a BA and Honours degree from the University of Pretoria as well as a Post Graduate Certificate in Education (PGCE). I worked as a teacher at two prestigious High Schools in Pretoria as part of my PGCE course practical training. I completed my Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology through the University of Johannesburg in 2015.

As an intern, I worked at Johannesburg Metro Community Clinics and Helen Joseph Hospital. During my community service year, I worked for the West Rand Community Clinics District. In both my Internship and Community Service years I gained practical experience working in in-patient and out-patient settings. I also worked closely with multi-disciplinary teams of Doctors, Psychiatrists, Occupational Therapists, Social Workers, and Psychiatric Nursing staff to provide the best care for both in-patient psychiatric patients and to provide follow up care for out-patients. In all of these settings, I worked with adults, adolescents, and children.

Since starting private practice in 2017 I have mostly worked with Adults and Adolescents. I also worked with Elderly patients in a Psycho-geriatric practice at Akeso Clinic Parktown in 2019. Since 2018 I work as a Trauma ICU Psychologist at Netcare Milpark Hospital as well as in private practice. I have developed an interest in Trauma Psychology and Psycho-oncology (Psychology of Cancer). I however work with a variety of different Psychological problems and topics in my private practice.
