Ever feel torn between your head and your heart? This graphic beautifully illustrates a core concept from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT): The Three Minds.

The Rational Mind 🧠: This is the logical part of us, focused on facts and planning. It's great for problem-solving but can sometimes ignore our feelings.

The Emotional Mind ❤️: This is where our feelings and instincts live. While vital, relying solely on this mind can lead to impulsive choices.

The Wise Mind ✨: This is the sweet spot—the blend of both. It's where we honour our emotions while still considering the facts.

In therapy, we work on strengthening your ability to access your ‘Wise Mind’. It's not about ignoring emotions or suppressing logic, but about finding that balanced centre. This helps you make thoughtful decisions that align with your values and live with more clarity and peace.

The journey to becoming a psychologist is a long one, a minimum of six years of university study, followed by ongoing supervision, at least 10 hours per year.

So what is supervision?

Supervision is all psychologists regularly catch up with other psychologists to review and reflect upon providing best practice. At Synapse our Director, Dee and fellow senior psychologists regularly offer supervision to other clinicians. It's a supportive space where we talk openly about our client work, get guidance, and learn from each other's experiences. We challenge each other to think differently and grow. It's how we ensure our entire team is supported and continually developing their skills.

Most importantly, it’s about giving you (our clients) the best possible care ❤️

Did you know that not all social workers are the same? We are proud to have Accredited Mental Health Social Workers (AMHSWs) as a part of the Synapse team!

In social work, accreditation in mental health is a process by which the Australian Association of Social Workers (AASW) recognises a social worker as having specialised expertise. This means an AMHSW has met specific criteria, including qualifications, supervised practice, and ongoing professional development, allowing them to provide services under Medicare's Better Access to Mental Health Care program. This means you can see them for support and receive a rebate, just like with a psychologist.

Our AMHSWs are trained in a number of evidence-based therapies such as CBT, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focussed Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and more. Their unique training gives them a holistic perspective, helping with emotional health, navigating life's challenges, and addressing a person's wider social and environmental context.

They are an incredible resource for our Tassie community, and perfectly complement our overall mission of supporting mental health in Launceston and Devonport.

Synapse Psychologist Alec is a firm believer in creating a therapeutic space that feels safe and welcoming. That's why he often has his therapy dog, Cooper, by his side.

The gentle and calm nature of a therapy dog can help to reduce stress and anxiety, and many people find it easier to open up in their presence. This can be especially helpful for those who may be nervous about therapy, children, or anyone who feels comforted by the non-judgmental presence of an animal.
