Children and adolescents represent a truly unique population in psychotherapy. In early developmental years, the line between psychological health and pathology is often far more elusive than in adults.

www.psymorph.com.au/blog/emotional-liberation-beyond-meeting-our-needs-at-the-expense-of-others

In our daily interactions, it’s easy to fall into patterns where our communication is driven by unmet needs — often leading us to prioritize our desires at the expense of others.

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is often viewed through the lens of brain-based or biological causes. However, research over the past few decades has highlighted that family dynamics and the broader social environment also play an important role in the development and maintenance o

One of the striking insights from Dan Ariely’s Predictably Irrational is that we often believe we know what we want, but in reality, our preferences are less clear and far more malleable than we assume. Take the example he shares about buying a car. At age 30, Ariely decided it was time to move o

When we think of core psychological concepts, terms like motivation , emotion , and personality usually come to mind. Yet one fundamental human behaviour — play — has often been overlooked in modern psychology and consumer behaviour research. Interestingly, if we look back over a century, ear

Have you ever read a horoscope, a personality quiz, or even a consultant’s report and thought: “Wow, this really describes me perfectly” ? Chances are, you’ve experienced what psychologists call the Forer effect —also known as the “Barnum effect.” In 1948, psychologist Bertram Forer co...

www.psymorph.com.au/blog/the-power-of-stimulus-control-in-our-daily-lives

In psychology, one of the fascinating principles of learning and behavior is stimulus control —the idea that our actions are often shaped by the environment and context around us. We may believe that our behavior comes purely from personal choice or willpower, but much of it is actually guided by ...

When psychologists talk about executive function , they are describing the brain’s ability to manage itself—setting goals, resisting distractions, and directing behaviour toward meaningful outcomes. Russell Barkley (2012) suggests that a simple way to think about executive function is that it is...

Anxiety in children is influenced not only by genetics and biology but also by the quality of family relationships and parenting styles.

www.psymorph.com.au/blog/the-power-of-cravings-in-building-habits

When we think about habits, we often imagine discipline, willpower, and determination. Yet, research suggests that habits are less about self-control and more about cravings. Cravings are the invisible engine that drives our routines and rituals, whether it’s brushing our teeth, exercising, or app...

www.psymorph.com.au/blog/how-many-sessions-do-you-need-in-therapy

One of the most common questions people have when starting therapy is: “How many sessions will I need?” It’s an understandable question. Therapy requires time, energy, and financial commitment, so it’s natural to want a clear idea of what to expect. The reality, however, is that there is no ...

We often hear the phrase, “time heals all wounds.” But what if the truth is more nuanced? Research in sleep science suggests that it may not be the mere passage of time that heals, but the time we spend dreaming.
