Finding it difficult with Covid-19 to keep things in perspective and stay calm? Some great advice from the president of the Australian Psychological Society, Ros Knight; “Exposing yourself to a constant stream of negative information takes a huge psychological toll. Avoid reading social media posts that warn of an apocalypse and don’t get drawn into doomsday discussions. Sticking to the facts and relying on scientific sources for your information is the best way to maintain perspective and manage your feelings positively.” Link to full article here....

Being a man can be tough, especially when you are expected to be a success, bulletproof, make sacrifices, be in charge and not complain.
Feeling like you are expected to hide what you think and feel?
Problem is, this creates shame and can lead to stress, aggression, substance misuse, secrets, relationship issues, conflict or even depression.
Getting help can seem humiliating when it’s assumed you should know what to do. Embarrassing when you are told to “harden up princess”.
It seems men are not supposed to rely on others.
Sergio’s research into male help-seeking and his many years as a counsellor means he has developed different, effective approaches and styles.
He is frequently sought by men who are wanting change in their lives, and by referrers of male clients who know Sergio can help.

If there is one thing I'd love us all (including me!) to take more seriously, it would be sleep.
As a society we have learnt to supress tiredness; there is always something "to do".
We celebrate those with a "stiff upper lip", who have learnt to "carry on".
Resilience is important - Ongoing fatigue is soul destroying.
Remember to just be. To listen and to rest both our bodies and our minds, provides space for growth.
Find your tired signs and make space for them, in your life - contentment will follow.

Is your family safe online?
Being connected digitally has so many benefits, however Sergio tells us what to watch for....
“My worry is for young people who use devices unsupervised. I regularly see clients forced to come to terms with the repercussions of sharing images of themselves, only to have those images shared to others without consent.”
Many families don’t know what content is accessed.
Without controls in place, research has found children as young as 7 can inadvertently see illegal content such as po*******hy or live streamed videos. Older children may be cyber bullied via Snapchat, get unwanted contact from online predators, or sext to gain popularity."
Setting up parental controls is easy, and Alma Psychology can assist you to access up-to-date and accurate information, tips and resources, to help keep content child friendly :) Photo ROBIN WORRALL - Unsplash
