Inner child work is a therapeutic process of reconnecting with and healing the younger self to address unresolved emotional wounds from childhood. It involves "reparenting" yourself by providing the self-compassion, validation, and care you needed as a child, which helps to heal past traumas and understand how early experiences influence adult behaviors and reactions. By processing old pain and unmet needs, individuals can form healthier relationships and develop greater emotional resilience.

International Men’s Day
Today we honour the strength, softness, and humanity of men everywhere.

Men often carry pressures that go unspoken, yet your feelings, your wellbeing, and your mental health matter. Reaching out for support is an act of courage, not weakness.

To every man choosing healing, growth, and emotional honesty: we see you, we appreciate you, and we stand with you.

If you’re struggling, remember, you never have to do it alone.💙

DBT : Wise Mind Skill.
Life's challenges require us to draw on both emotion and reason. Relying too much on just one of these creates an imbalanced perspective. In dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), wise mind balances emotion and reason, helping us make healthy decisions and lead a fulfilling life.

This Wise Mind: DBT skill worksheet describes wise mind and how it differs from emotion and reasonable minds. Emotion mind is when we use feelings alone to determine our decisions and behavior, whereas reasonable mind is when we use only logic, ignoring our feelings. With wise mind, we recognize and respect our feelings while responding to them in a rational way.

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.

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.
