✨REMINDER✨
Stop waiting to feel ready. Ready is not a feeling. It’s a decision.

Some of the things I found interesting and put a smile on my face over the past week…

1. Professional development session with Maddi from , where I learnt about the management of disordered eating and eating disorders in private practice.
I was surprised to learn that 1 in 23 Aussies are affected by eating disorders 😱. As expected, early intervention leads to the best outcomes.

2. Podcast from Andrew Huberman to learn about the latest research on sleep.
I was surprised to learn how little effect melatonin has been found to have on people’s sleep. Have a listen to learn more.

3. Podcast interview of Johann Hari on his latest book ‘Stolen Focus’, where he discusses why our ability to pay attention is collapsing, and how to get it back.
I will definitely be reading his book.

3. Currently reading ‘The Menopause Brain’ for personal and professional reasons.
I am fascinated by anything related to brain health, and this book is hitting the mark. I’ll do a short review once I finish it.

Have a beautiful week!

Much love,
Andrea

Hey there!

It’s been a minute 😬😅.
I have been a little absent on social media, probably because posting started to feel like a chore…and who likes chores?? 🤷🏽‍♀️

Anyway, I thought I would start posting again, so that I can share with you anything I find interesting or puts a smile on my face, from a psychologist’s lens.

Join me for the ride 💫💛

Much love, Andrea

If this week did not start the way you’d hoped, here are some reminders to help you get back on track:

🍋 Tomorrow is a new day.
🍋 Making mistakes is part of life.
🍋 Saying ‘no’ is ok.
🍋 Not everyone has to like you.
🍋 Beauty and strength come from within.

AFRAID OF JOY?

If you experience fear leaning into good news, joy or wonderful moments, you are experiencing what we call FOREBODING JOY.

More common than you think, foreboding joy is a dress-rehearsal of tragedy during the best moments of our lives, which we do because we are terrified of being blindsided by pain.

The antidote? GRATITUDE.

In the midst of joy, there’s often a quiver of vulnerability. Rather than using that as a warning sign to imagine the worst case scenario, practise gratitude. It will stamp out the fear because they are mutually exclusive.

Give it a go and see what happens.

Much love,
Andrea

BE WHERE YOUR FEET ARE.

This simple yet powerful reminder encourages us to slow down and connect with the now—especially during the whirlwind of the festive season.

If your mind is racing with to-do lists or you’re feeling pulled in a thousand directions, mindfulness can bring you back to the present moment.

Here are 5 simple ways to help you stay grounded amongst the busyness of the season:

🌲Pause for 3 deep breaths.
Whenever you feel overwhelmed, stop and take three deep belly breaths. Focus on the sensation of air filling your lungs and the release as you exhale. It’s a mini reset button for your mind.

🌲 Engage your senses.
Wherever you are, tune into your surroundings. What can you see, hear, smell, taste, and touch? Whether it’s the sparkle of holiday lights or the coolness of your iced latte, this practice pulls you into the present.

🌲 Set boundaries with your time.
When you’re with family or friends, be fully there. Put your phone on silent, stop mentally rehearsing tomorrow’s tasks, and give your full attention to the people in front of you.

🌲 Create mindful rituals.
Wrap gifts, decorate, or cook with intention. Feel the textures of the wrapping paper, smell the spices in your baking, and notice the small details of the task. These everyday moments can become opportunities for calm.

🌲 Anchor yourself to your body.
Check in with your body throughout the day. Wiggle your toes, roll your shoulders, or stretch gently. These movements remind you that you’re here—alive and capable—right now.

This season, the greatest gift you can give yourself is presence. Let your feet, your heart, and your mind be in the same place—and watch the magic unfold.

Much love,
Andrea

I often talk with clients about finding joy in the littlest of things. Today I took a moment to appreciate and find joy in the way the sun was shining in my office.

Imagine what our lives would be like if we sprinkled it with little moments of joy 🤔.

Things I love to hear from my clients…

🌱 ‘I tried that strategy we talked about and…’- it is important for us therapists to know how you went with the strategies provided, that way we can better identify what works for you and if not, find what does.

🌱 ‘I’m not sure what you mean’- it is important for us to know if you have not understood a concept/idea/strategy. Don’t walk out of therapy confused. Ask your therapist to explain things to you until they’re clear.

🌱 ‘I thought…what would Andrea think/say right now?’- this helps you tap into those memory networks in your brain. That’s a big thumbs up from all therapists.

🌱 ‘I knew you would be proud of me’- believe it or not, therapists think about you between sessions and want the best for you. I always feel so proud of my clients’ efforts.

🌱 ‘I don’t want to talk about that right now’- we want clients to be honest with us. We also want to cater the session to your needs at that point in time. Nothing good comes out of pressure.

🌱 ‘Can I bring my dog next time?’- shhh, we won’t tell the landlord 🤐.
