Hey! No, it's not Easter, but a hot cross bun is a handy way to think about the links between thoughts, feelings, behaviours, and physical signs when it comes to men's mental health.

You see, mental health often shows up differently in men, for example:

👨 Bottling up unhelpful thoughts can mean that men experience self-blame and frustration

👨 Men feel deeply... but they've been taught to hide it. Instead, what you might see is irritability, frustration, or numbness.

👨 When feelings are buried, unhelpful coping behaviours often emerge. Longer hours at work, social isolation, snapping at others, and using drugs or alcohol might be observed.

👨 Ignoring self-care can mean that the psychological spills into the physical - feeling drained, aches and pains, sleep issues, and appetite changes might emerge. Don't ignore these signs - it's time to focus on you.

Take the time to look after yourself - prioritise your wellbeing, look after your health, feel the feels, and shift unhelpful thoughts.

And if you're seeking a tailored approach you can speak with our psychologist Tim, who holds a special interest in men's health, helping in the areas of:

💙 Burnout, depression + anxiety
💙 Navigating ADHD and its impact on work, studies, and relationships
💙 Juggling roles + responsibilities
💙 Navigating stigma and ideas about masculinity

How can you talk yourself down from a frustrating situation?... 😡

We get it... things didn't go the way that you expected and you're M.A.D. about it.

Acceptance isn't about rolling over; it's about acknowledging that not everyone else follows the same rules that you have.

Checking your mindset at this point in time can help you to explore if it is a situation worth doubling down on (e.g. If it's a safety issue) or one that you can let slide (e.g. If it is a personal preference).

It can also help to consider the cost 💰 to your own wellbeing and whether you want to feel more at peace. 🤔

Therapies such as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy can teach you to identify and shift such cognitive distortions to arrive at more balanced and sustainable ways of seeing the world. ⚖️

Hey there 👋

It's only 9 weeks until we close our doors for 2025!
This time of the year - from October to December - tends to be one when many seek support for:

🫥 Social anxiety flare ups with upcoming Christmas parties
🫥 Panicking amongst crowds can be a real challenge as hordes hit the shops for Christmas shopping
🫥 Grief + loss are often felt keenly around holiday times - it's not always the most wonderful time of the world
🫥 Loneliness + depression may be amplified during a season of catch ups with family and friends
🫥 Burnout at this time is real! Limping towards the end-of-year finish line, social commitments, and life admin really!

Some of our clinicians are already booked into December, so if you're looking for support please reach out soon!

We offer:

🗣️ Face-to-face appointments (in Subiaco, Perth)

Frustrated or angry much? 😡

Shoulds and Musts usually lurk beneath these feelings 😱 Often an expectation that you hold of others has been unmet. It could look like:

😡 Other drivers not following minor road rules (lane changing)

😡 Your lunch going missing at work

😡 People ignoring turn taking and other social norms

The thing about these shoulds and musts is that you're the person holding these feelings, and it can linger on for hours if not days.

The good news is that therapies such as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy can teach you to identify shoulds and musts to arrive at a more balanced way of seeing the world, helping you to calm the farm.

If you're seeking tailored support to help you shift your mindset reach out; our team who are well-versed in CBT!
