On behalf of the team at Western Sydney Clinical Psychology, we wish you a Happy New Year!

As the year starts, many people set New Year’s Resolutions. Many people fail to reach their resolutions, with up to 88% of people failing to achieve their New Year’s Resolutions (Wiseman, 2007).

Being able to be clear about what you want to achieve, and set out a clear goal to achieve it can be helpful.

For example:
New Year’s resolution (common):
“I want to get fit this year.” 💪

SMART goal:
“From 1 January to 31 March, I will go to the gym 3 times per week for 45 minutes each session, focusing on strength training, so I can improve my fitness and energy levels.” 🏋🏼‍♀️

Why the SMART goal works better:
Specific: Go to the gym, strength training
Measurable: 3 times per week, 45 minutes
Achievable: Realistic schedule
Relevant: Improves fitness and energy
Time-bound: January–March

Burnout is more than just feeling tired—it’s a state of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion caused by prolonged stress. It can impact your productivity, relationships, and overall well-being. The good news? There are practical steps you can take to prevent it.
Here are six evidence-based strategies to help you maintain balance and protect your mental health at work:
1️⃣ Set Clear Boundaries – Define your working hours and avoid bringing work into your personal time.
2️⃣ Take Regular Breaks – Short breaks throughout the day can refresh your mind and reduce stress.
3️⃣ Learn to Say No – Prioritize tasks and avoid overloading yourself with responsibilities.
4️⃣ Stay Connected with Others – Social support at work can ease pressure and build resilience.
5️⃣ Practice Self-Care Daily – Sleep well, eat healthy, and make time for activities that bring you joy.
6️⃣ Seek Professional Help – If stress feels overwhelming, reach out to a mental health professional for tailored support.
Your mental health matters just as much as your performance. Start implementing these strategies today and create a healthier, more sustainable work-life balance.”

“Owning our story and loving ourselves through the process is the bravest thing that we’ll ever do” - Brené Brown 🧘‍♀️

Courage shows up in small, powerful ways - in honesty, vulnerability and self-compassion. Healing begins when we allow ourselves to own our story without judgement and accept our unique path and story 👩🏼‍⚕️💫

💙 Today is Blue Knot Day – a national day dedicated to raising awareness about complex trauma and supporting those affected.
🔍 What’s the difference between PTSD and Complex PTSD?

✔ Complex PTSD develops after prolonged trauma, such as childhood abuse or chronic neglect. It includes all PTSD symptoms plus emotional dysregulation, relationship difficulties, and a negative sense of self.
🌱 At Western Sydney Clinical Psychology, we provide trauma-informed, evidence-based care to help you feel safe, supported, and empowered on your healing journey.

This National Carers Week (October 12–18), we pause to honour the quiet strength, compassion, and resilience of Australia’s carers. Whether you're currently a carer, know someone who is, or may one day step into that role, this year's theme — “You Are, Know, or Will Be One” — reminds us that caregiving touches all of us.

Carers are the backbone of our communities. They provide essential support to loved ones facing illness, disability, mental health challenges, or ageing — often without recognition, rest, or reward. Their work is deeply personal, emotionally demanding, and profoundly impactful.

This week, we celebrate their dedication and raise awareness of the challenges they face. We also encourage everyone to take small but meaningful actions to support carers in their lives:

✔️ Check in regularly
✔️ Offer help with errands or tasks
✔️ Acknowledge their efforts
✔️ Step in when support is needed
✔️ Encourage time for self-care

Let’s come together to show our appreciation and ensure carers feel seen, supported, and valued — not just this week, but every day.

💙 To all carers: thank you for your unwavering commitment. You make a difference.
