Have you heard of EMDR?

Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a psychological therapy that can help people process distressing or traumatic experiences, so they feel less overwhelming and easier to manage.
EMDR may be helpful for people experiencing trauma, anxiety, PTSD and other difficulties connected to distressing experiences.

At Mind Mode Psychology & Wellbeing, we have clinicians who are trained in EMDR, and our books are currently open to new referrals.

If you think EMDR may be right for you, get in touch with our friendly team to find out more. 💙
📩 Contact Mind Mode Psychology & Wellbeing to enquire or book an appointment.

Join us on Thursday 24th September for the second session in our free workshop series:

🌱 Session 2: Behavioural Activation

In this interactive workshop, we’ll explore how our behaviours can influence our mood and how taking small, meaningful actions can help break unhelpful cycles.

Together we’ll cover:
⭐ What Behavioural Activation is and how it fits within CBT
⭐ How low mood can lead to withdrawal, avoidance and reduced activity
⭐ Why action can come before motivation
⭐ Different types of activities that can support wellbeing, connection and purpose
⭐ How to identify barriers and develop practical strategies to overcome them
⭐ A simple exercise to reflect on your current routine and identify small changes you can make

We’ll also explore the Wheel of Life and how small, achievable actions across different areas of life can contribute to improved wellbeing.

You don’t need to make huge changes to see progress. Sometimes, one small step is enough to get things moving.

Whether you’re looking to better understand your behaviour, build healthier routines or learn practical strategies to support your wellbeing, this workshop is a great place to start.

Thursday, 10 September 2026 is R U OK? Day. The people around us go through life’s ups and downs every day which is why there are free resources on the R U OK website to help you keep the conversation going year round.

You might be surprised to learn that many people underestimate the power of an R U OK? Conversation.

Research conducted by ‘R U OK?’ shows that a third of people don’t realise the difference they can make by checking in with someone they care about despite the fact that 9 in 10 of those who were asked, ‘are you OK?’, report feeling grateful, cared about, and supported.

1 in 4 people might hesitate to ask even when they think someone is struggling. That’s why we’re reminding everyone that if someone’s on your mind, trust your instinct and start a conversation.

If you’re thinking it, Ask R U OK? Any Day because what people value most is trust, a sense of genuine care, and someone who really listens to them, without judgement.

Ask R U OK? Any Day, because a conversation could change a life.

So much of what we’ve absorbed about mental illness simply isn’t true, and those myths can make it so much harder to reach out, feel understood, or even recognise what you’re going through as valid.

If any of this speaks to something you’ve felt or believed, you’re in good company. Let’s gently work through eight of the most common myths, together. This is part 1 of our Mental Health Myths and Facts series. Swipe to get started.

MYTH: “Mental illness is rare, it doesn’t really affect that many people.”

FACT: If you’ve ever felt alone in what you’re going through, you’re not. More than 1 in 5 adults live with a mental health condition, and roughly 1 in 5 children experience one too. Mental illness can also come and go. You can have periods of wellness followed by harder stretches and this is common, not a sign you’re doing something wrong. You are far from alone in this.

MYTH: “Struggling with your mental health means you’re weak.”

FACT: Mental health challenges aren’t a character flaw, and they were never a fair reflection of your strength. They arise from a complex mix of genetics, biology, environment, and life circumstances, much of which is entirely outside your control. Reaching out for support actually takes real courage. If anything, asking for help is one of the strongest things you can do.

What is self-compassion?
- Self-compassion involves being aware of our own pain and suffering, and understanding that while feeling this pain is hard, it is a normal human experience.
- Directing feelings of kindness and focusing our attention and energy on how we might alleviate our pain
- It’s not the same as self-pity or self-indulgence, it’s about being honest with yourself while also being nurturing.

Why is self-compassion important?
- Self-compassion can activate our soothe system, which calms our threat system (the system responsible for detecting potential dangers in order to protect ourselves) and our drive system (the system that spurs us on to get things done and be active in life).
- Without our soothe system, our threat and drive systems become overactive and can lead to difficult emotions such as anxiety, anger, and depression.

Strategies to build self-compassion:
- Attention retraining - be aware or catch that we are struggling and that we are fuelling our struggle with self-criticism.
- Meditation - train yourself to be more aware of what your attention gets caught in.
- Engage in self-soothing activities - be kind and caring to yourself by engaging in activities that will help you relax.
- Taking care of others - actions that are motivated by kindness, not just doing what others tell you to do.
- Acting opposite - doing the opposite of what our threat system wants to do. For example, you may want to isolate yourself, but instead engage in social supports or engage in a self-soothing activity.

Sleep hygiene is a set of healthy habits that helps your body and brain know when it’s time to sleep. 💤

Our brains have a body clock (circadian rhythm) that helps regulate when we feel awake and when we feel sleepy. Sleep hygiene helps reinforce this rhythm by giving the brain consistent cues about when it is daytime and when it is time to sleep.

Sleep hygiene tips
- Going to bed and waking up at consistent times
- Reducing stimulating activities and screens before bed
- Limiting caffeine later in the day
- Keeping your bedroom comfortable, dark and quiet
- Having a relaxing bedtime routine
- Getting daylight and physical activity during the day
- Avoiding long or late naps

My sleep hygiene is good, but I am still struggling to fall asleep. Why?
- Are you having racing thoughts, or replaying scenarios in your head before going to sleep?
- Do you find that you’re getting frustrated and keep looking at the clock?
- Do you wake up in the middle of the night panicked?
- Do you wake up in the morning and still not feel well rested?
- Do you feel anxious before going to bed because you think you’ll have a bad night of sleep?

If you’re having these experiences, a talking to a psychologist or counsellor may be helpful to address the underlying causes of these issues.

If you’re regularly having trouble with your sleep and alertness, it may also be helpful to speak with your GP to help identify possible causes and recommend appropriate support or treatment.
