Everything we share here is created for education and general interest. It's written to help you understand what might be happening for you, and sometimes to give you the relief of seeing your own experience described accurately.

It isn't psychological advice, and it isn't a substitute for therapy, assessment or diagnosis. A post can't know your history, your circumstances or what you're carrying, which is why it can't do the work that an actual session with a practitioner does.

If something here lands and you'd like real support, you can contact our team through the link in bio to ask about telehealth appointments.

If you're in crisis, please reach out to one of the services below.

If there's immediate danger to life or safety, call 000.

The intellectualiser in therapy usually knows exactly what’s going on.

They know all the terms and lingo but understanding your emotions and actually feeling them are two very different things.

Sometimes the work in therapy is moving from analysing emotions → to experiencing them.

Accredited mental health social workers are qualified social workers who have met additional accreditation standards in mental health practice through the AASW.

It may be relevant if money, work, housing or a relationship that has gone wrong are part of what is making things hard, alongside the anxiety or the low mood or the not sleeping.

At ASPL Psychology, this work is provided by accredited mental health social workers, practising under our clinical governance framework led by Dr Elise Landau.

Sessions start with what has been going on and what you want to be different, then move into structured psychological strategies and the practical side where that is useful.

All by Telehealth, and your GP can refer you on a mental health treatment plan.

If you're considering seeing an accredited mental health social worker and would like to understand more about how it's offered at our practice, you can find further information via the link in our bio 🤍

Unplugging before bed is probably something you have heard a million times by now...

But that's because screens and sleep don't mix well together.

Keeping screen use to a minimum for the hour before bed is one of the more reliable things you can do for sleep quality.

Whilst the light tells your body clock it's still daytime, the bigger problem is everything else on on your device.

Games, videos, work emails, the group chat about who's covering Saturday's shift... all of it keeps your mind active and keeps you up well past the point you meant to stop!

So try sleep with the phone out of reach if you can manage it. If another room isn't realistic (on call, kids, a partner on nights), put it into do not disturb or nighttime mode so nothing flashes or buzzes at you at 2am.

When someone you love has attempted to take their life, it can be hard to know what to do next.

Many people worry about saying the wrong thing, or about making it worse by bringing it up. You don't need the right words, and you don't need to be an expert. Being there, and being willing to ask how they're going, matters more than getting it perfect.

Talking about su***de doesn't put the idea in someone's head. Asking openly can help your loved one feel less alone, and lets them know the subject isn't off limits with you.

Recovery takes time, and it usually continues well after a hospital stay. Be patient and gentle with them, and with yourself. Support for you matters too.

Because there isn't a right answer... they're both therapies which may support you.

Talk therapy and EMDR are two of many modalities out there. There's ACT, schema therapy, IFS, somatic work, a whole list of them, and none of them is the winner, they're all options.

Finding what works can be a bit of trial and error for most people, and that's not you being difficult or hard to treat. One thing suits you and your needs, another doesn't do much, sometimes a combination of modalities is what lands.

So take this as a reminder that you don't have to pick a side, you don't have to pick one at all...

In the first few weeks it is common to relive parts of it without meaning to, to feel wound up and on the lookout for the next thing going wrong, to avoid the places or people that bring it back, and to notice your mood and thinking have shifted.

You might be reading this thinking it does not apply to you, because you were not the one it happened to, or because you have seen worse, or because you went back on shift the next day and got through it fine.

What may help is small and fairly easy steps to relieve the negative thoughts or feelings.

1. Be mindful of how much trauma-related news or media you consume
2. Move your body. Physical activity burns off some of the wound-up feeling and tends to improve sleep and appetite.
3. Do one thing you enjoy each day. It can be very small, like cooking something properly or putting an album on.
4. Stay in contact with people who already know you helps more than a big conversation about it.
5. Keep some shape to your days. Regular meals, a rough routine will help support you.
6. Get support. If you are struggling to cope at any point, it’s important to seek help from a GP or a psychologist rather than working through on your own.

It’s not always easy to know how you’re feeling, especially after a traumatic event so it is important to prioritise yourself in these next few weeks to help reduce some of the distress you may be feeling.
