Having a growth mindset means understanding that skills, emotional resilience, and the way we face challenges can be developed over time—they are not fixed traits.

🔍 How does it impact mental health?
• Reduces fear of failure and mistakes
• Encourages self-compassion and patience
• Increases motivation and adaptability
• Helps view therapy as a learning process, not a setback

🌱 How to start developing a growth mindset
✔️ Replace “I can’t” with “I’m still learning”
✔️ See mistakes as information, not personal flaws
✔️ Focus on the process, not just immediate results
✔️ Seek professional support as part of growth, not as a weakness

Mental health is not static. With the right support, it can strengthen and evolve. 💙

At Balanced Minds ATX, we believe in the power of growth—even during difficult moments.

Si un video en redes sociales te hace pensar “esto soy yo”, tómalo como una señal para consultar, no como un diagnóstico. Guardar el contenido puede ayudarte a explicar lo que sientes, pero la claridad y el tratamiento adecuado siempre comienzan con una evaluación profesional.

En redes sociales, especialmente en plataformas como TikTok, es común encontrar videos que “diagnostican” ansiedad, depresión, TDAH u otros trastornos en menos de un minuto. Aunque este contenido puede generar identificación y abrir conversaciones, también tiene riesgos.

🔍 ¿Cómo influye en la búsqueda de ayuda profesional?

✔️ Puede ser un primer paso
Para muchas personas, el contenido viral pone nombre a un malestar que no sabían cómo explicar y las anima a buscar apoyo profesional.

⚠️ Pero no reemplaza una evaluación clínica
Los diagnósticos simplificados pueden llevar a la autodiagnosis, a confusión o a retrasar un tratamiento adecuado.

🧠 La salud mental es compleja y personal
Lo que ves en un video puede parecerte familiar, pero solo un profesional puede evaluar tu historia, contexto y síntomas de forma integral.

🤝 El mejor uso del contenido digital
Que sea una puerta de entrada a la curiosidad y la conciencia, no el punto final del proceso.

En Balanced Minds ATX creemos en usar la información para acercarte a la ayuda correcta, no para sustituirla. 💙

If you’re considering TMS, don’t see it as a quick fix. Use this period to start or continue psychotherapy—when the brain becomes more responsive, it’s also the best time to work on habits, thoughts, and emotions that support long-term well-being.

Integration makes the difference. 🧠✨

🧠✨ The Role of the Psychologist and Psychiatrist: Integrating TMS with Therapy

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is not a standalone treatment. Its greatest strength lies in being integrated with psychotherapy and psychiatric care.

👩‍⚕️ The Psychiatrist
Evaluates the diagnosis, determines whether TMS is an appropriate option, oversees the treatment, and adjusts medication when needed. Their role is essential to ensure a safe and personalized approach.

🧠 The Psychologist
Supports the patient’s emotional process, works on the underlying causes of distress, and helps integrate the changes facilitated by TMS. Therapy turns clinical improvement into practical tools for everyday life.

🤝 An Integrated Approach
When TMS, psychotherapy, and psychiatry work together, treatment goes beyond symptom relief and focuses on long-term stability, self-awareness, and overall well-being.

At Balanced Minds ATX, we believe mental health is built through teamwork. 💙

💡 TIP
Ask yourself: “Does this stress energize me or exhaust me?”
If it drains you, it may be time to slow down, set boundaries, or seek support.

Distinguishing between stress that motivates and stress that depletes is central to mental health. In psychiatry, we recognize that moderate stress can enhance focus and performance, but chronic, draining stress erodes resilience and increases vulnerability to anxiety, depression, and burnout.

🌱 Good Stress vs. Bad Stress: What’s the Difference?

Not all stress is harmful. In fact, some stress can help us grow and perform better. The key is learning to recognize when stress is helping you—and when it’s hurting you.

✨ Eustress (Good Stress):
✔ Motivates you
✔ Improves focus and performance
✔ Feels challenging but manageable
✔ Examples: starting a new job, preparing for a presentation, learning something new

⚠️ Distress (Bad Stress):
✖ Feels overwhelming or constant
✖ Causes anxiety, irritability, or burnout
✖ Affects sleep, mood, and health
✖ Examples: chronic work pressure, unresolved conflict, lack of rest

Your body reacts differently to each one. The goal isn’t to eliminate stress—but to manage it and reduce distress before it takes a toll on your mental health. 💚

Did you know your posture can influence how you feel?

Your body and mind are constantly communicating—more than we realize. A slouched posture can increase feelings of fatigue, stress, or low mood, while an open, upright stance can boost confidence and emotional regulation.

✨ Why posture matters:

It affects your breathing and energy levels.

It influences how your brain interprets emotional signals.

It can increase (or decrease) feelings of confidence and calm.

It shapes how others respond to you—which then affects how you feel.

Small changes in how you carry your body can support your mental wellness—no perfection required, just awareness.

💛 Your body is not just a vessel; it’s part of your emotional toolkit.

🧘‍♀️ Did you know that our bodies can store unwanted emotions in various places? 🧠 🧡 Emotional tension often finds refuge in our muscles and joints, affecting our overall wellbeing. We believe in the powerful mind-body connection that yoga nurtures 🫶 Through mindful practice, we can release these hidden tensions, leading to emotional balance and feeling better in our physical body. ✌️ For example, a simple Child’s Pose releases tension from both the shoulders and lower back, helping to let go of build up burdens and anger ✌️ Beautiful graphic by

💡 TIP
La próxima vez que tu hijo/a se frustre por un error, prueba decir:
👉 “Equivocarse es una parte importante de aprender. ¿Qué crees que podrías intentar diferente la próxima vez?”

➡️ La primera parte de la frase:
“Equivocarse es una parte importante de aprender.”
Impacto Positivo: Inmediatamente quita la presión de tener que ser perfecto. Le enseña al niño que el error no es un fracaso personal, sino una parte natural e inevitable del proceso de aprendizaje.

➡️ La segunda parte de la frase:
“¿Qué crees que podrías intentar diferente la próxima vez?”
Desarrolla el Pensamiento Crítico: Mueve el enfoque del arrepentimiento o la rabia hacia la solución de problemas.

➡️ Cuando uses este tip, asegúrate de acompañarlo con un tono de voz calmado y de apoyo. El lenguaje corporal (un abrazo, ponerte a su altura) puede reforzar el mensaje de que estás ahí para apoyar, no para juzgar.

El perfeccionismo en los niños puede verse como disciplina, responsabilidad o “ganas de hacer las cosas bien”. Pero cuando viene acompañado de miedo, tensión o frustración excesiva, puede ser una señal de algo más profundo: ansiedad por el rendimiento.

✨ Señales de perfeccionismo saludable:

Disfruta el proceso, no solo el resultado.

Tolera los errores y aprende de ellos.

Se siente orgulloso de su esfuerzo.

⚠️ Señales de ansiedad disfrazada de perfección:

Miedo intenso a equivocarse.

Crisis emocionales ante pequeños errores.

Evita actividades nuevas “por si no es el mejor”.

Necesita aprobación constante.

Autocrítica excesiva.

💬 Como padre/madre, puedes observar:

¿Tu hijo/a trabaja desde la motivación o desde el miedo?

¿La perfección lo impulsa… o lo paraliza?

¿Su esfuerzo mejora su bienestar o lo deteriora?

🧠 La meta no es que dejen de esforzarse, sino enseñarles que la valía no está en hacerlo “perfecto”, sino en aprender, crecer y equivocarse también.
