25.01.2022 Our latest video is up on our YouTube channel. Following on from the recent blog on taking responsibility, here is Clinical Psychologist Michael talking about some ways to manage the uncomfortable feeling we have when we take ownership of our mistakes, using an Acceptance and Commitment approach to managing the negative thoughts that we might experience https://youtu.be/7JTFw3w5Gbw

25.01.2022 When starting something new and challenging, it is quite easy to feel like an "imposter" and in fact, there is a well documented "imposter syndrome". But what if that feeling of being an imposter continued - even with experience and success? In this blog, we dive deep into understanding the origins and how people cope with feeling like an imposter. https://www.grovepsychology.com.au/post/i-m-an-imposter

21.01.2022 People-pleasing has been a hot topic in our office lately, and particularly how it relates to self-worth. People-pleasing is often about trying to find acceptance and validation from others in order to avoid pain and anxiety from deep seated beliefs and low self-worth. We discuss this concept further in the blog - click on the link to read more. https://www.grovepsychology.com.au//how-people-pleasing-mi

16.01.2022 A common discussion point in my office is "I'm just waiting for the right moment". The truth is - there is no right moment. No perfect moment to follow up on our goals or push ourselves to grow. Underneath that statement is anxiety - what if I fail. What if I'm not good enough. What if I'm successful and I get more pressure. Whatever it might be, the way through it is to accept the discomfort that growth brings and to pursue it anyway. Have a read of our latest blog on why it's never a good time to start something new. https://www.grovepsychology.com.au//it-s-never-a-good-time

14.01.2022 First blog for 2021 and it's on taking responsibility for your actions and not making excuses. It also addresses the misconception around "ultimate responsibility" but we discuss the fact that sometimes things happen to us that are not our fault, but we have to take responsibility for the consequences. https://www.grovepsychology.com.au/po/taking-responsibility

14.01.2022 We've been talking a lot about self-sacrificing and subjugating behaviours over the past few months. Approval seeking behaviour is another form of over-compensating behaviour that some people engage in to protect their low sense of self-worth from being activated. Although it can sometimes be a useful strategy, for some people this sense of being worthwhile is fleeting and they constantly seek approval of others to boost their self-esteem. It is often derived from a deep seated belief of not being good enough, not worthwhile, or a belief of being defective in someway. Instead, we encourage developing a high sense of self-worth - knowing that you are worthy of being cared about, even if you don't succeed in a task. Take a look at the video by Clinical Psychologist Michael explaining this process further https://youtu.be/_2DxvhHcID4

13.01.2022 Today’s takeaway..... It’s a doozy! A lot of conversations about self-worth over the last few weeks, and this is about reducing your self-worth to please others, to make them feel comfortable in order to gain love and feel worthy. And yet, we can feel worthy *within* ourselves, and then find someone who values this self-worth, not the other way around. #mytherapistsays #selfworth #selfworthquotes #selfworthjourney #anxiety #anxietyrelief #peoplepleaser #resilience #selfesteem #depressionhelp #psychology #psychologist #belmont #perth #ptsdwarrior

03.01.2022 It’s #RUOKDay and #worldsuicidepreventionday today. Every year we are getting better at asking ruok? Hopefully we are getting better at hearing our friend’s response. Reposted using @EasyRepost "It's #RUOKDay, a reminder that every day is a day to start a conversation that could change a life. Today we're calling on Australians to learn what to say after R U OK? so they can keep the conversation going when someone says they're not OK.... There's more to say after R U OK? Learn what to say when listening with an open mind Learn what to say when encouraging action Learn what to say when checking in Learn how to continue a conversation that could change a life. When we know what to say next we can help someone open up and find pathways to support long before they're in crisis. Learn what to say next and help us move closer to our vision of a world where we're all connected and are protected from suicide.

03.01.2022 We’re back to face to face appointments this week and although it’s a little uncomfortable, it’s great to be in the room again with our clients. It’s very pleasing to see Perth people doing their best and wearing masks at the shops and hopefully we will be through these restrictions soon enough. A reminder that Telehealth is still an option if you are not able to do face to face. #grovepsychology #psychologist #perth #resilience #wereallinthistogether #wearamask #positivity
