24.01.2022 How many times have you held yourself back from seeking opportunities, asking for what you need or making a change for fear that it would end badly? 99% of the time my fear is not based on fact but instead a series of worrying thoughts about what could go wrong. They are old, outdated beliefs about situations that have happened in the past and that are no longer true of my life now. Fear lies to me, fear tells me that I am not good enough for the opportunities I seek, fea...r tells me people will be upset with me if I ask for what I need, fear tells me that I will end up poor, sick and alone. Luckily Ive developed a lot of handy strategies to combat my fear. For specific strategies, check out the blog section on my website (link in bio) What does your fear lie to you about? #anxiety #fear #thoughts #mentalhealthawareness #haileyplattpsych

22.01.2022 Oh no! Its exams, time to cram in a semester or years worth of work into a few key study sessions. I will never learn it all I hear you say mid panic while eating an entire packet of oreos. Before you have a total meltdown (again) lets look at a few tips to help you survive your exams without completely losing the plot. https://www.haileyplatt.com//How-To-Survive-Exams-Without-

21.01.2022 Having anxiety in your teenage years can be brutal. Getting help can feel scary, embarrassing and hard - but learning tools to manage your anxiety can be easier than you think.

19.01.2022 Show up for yourself! How often do you skip doing something kind for yourself because you cant be bothered or it seems like too much effort? Self care isnt just for weekends. Heres to having a bubble bath on a Tuesday night #selfcare #happy #lovethyself #lushcosmetics

17.01.2022 Emotions can be painful and one of the bravest things a person can do is acknowledge and release feelings of hurt, pain and vulnerability. So many people view emotions as signs of weakness, but every emotion has a purpose and a message for us. We need to move away from trying to be strong and strive instead to be real.

16.01.2022 First day back today and Im genuinely so excited for whats to come! Im feeling refreshed after my holiday and I cant wait to see what this new year brings. If youve been thinking about booking in, Id love to hear from you! Call, text or email me and Ill pop you in my calendar. See you all soon :)

16.01.2022 Gulp, youve done it, youve finally made that booking to see a psychologist (like youve been meaning to do for a while now). Your mind starts racing as you mentally walk yourself through your first session and before you know it youve worked yourself into a state imagining how horrible it could be. Before biting your nails to stubs, check out my insider info below on what to expect from your first visit.

16.01.2022 My name is Hailey and I am a negative-self-talk-aholic. I have spent many years of my life believing that if I was strict with myself and critical of the mistakes I made then Id push myself to improve, I would achieve more and become a success. This, however, did not work! Check out my post below to see what Ive been do during my recovery and what strategies have made the biggest impact for me. https://www.haileyplatt.com//24/Stop-Talking-Down-to-Yours

14.01.2022 When trying to get help for your mental health it can be difficult to know which type of professional to see. In a world of Psychologists, Psychiatrists and Counsellors it can be easy to feel utterly confused about who to see for what. Check out my simple and easy explanation of the differences in my new video and blog post! https://www.haileyplatt.com//What-is-the-Difference-Betwee

12.01.2022 It can be really difficult to say what you mean when youre upset or annoyed at someone.

The video is under 4 minutes and so simple a primary school student can apply it. https://www.haileyplatt.com//11/16/WINning-by-Being-Assert

12.01.2022 This morning I found myself in the midst of a battle. The battle between some pretty funky sad and angry feelings and my desire to rise above them so I can embody the calmest, most enlightened, strongest version of myself. You see, I Hailey Platt, am guilty of shaming myself for feeling strong emotions. Ive seen them as indications that the walls are falling down, that I am losing the plot or that I am somehow less than the person I want to be. Truth is, in my life, emotion...s more accurately herald breakthroughs than breakdowns. Emotions are important! They give us clues about our life, what is working, what isnt, what is healthy for us, what isnt. They exist for a reason. They need to be felt to be released, we need to feel to heal. For all you wondering, the feelings won the battle this morning, and after allowing myself to release them (into my journal and a box of tissues) peace returned to my being. #feelings #emotions #feels #sad #angry #haileyplattpsych #copingskills

10.01.2022 I am very excited to announce that I recently wrote, directed and starred in my very own webinar about separation anxiety in children! I was inspired to do the project because I believe that professional help should be affordable and easy to access for everyone. The webinar is currently on sale for $22.50 (a fraction of the cost of a session) and is jam packed with information, tips and tricks to guide parents through helping their child with separation anxiety. ... Please share with any family, friends or colleagues that you think might benefit. https://www.nucleusly.com/e/separation-anxiety-in-children/

08.01.2022 Pay it forward... I feel incredibly grateful that I get to do the work I do each and everyday. I feel blessed that I can financially support myself by doing a job that is incredibly meaningful to me. Today I wanted to pay it forward. I made a donation to the Australian Childrens Music Foundation (ACMF), a charity I became aware of after the death of a family member several years ago. ... ACMF provide free music programs to disadvantaged and Indigenous youth in schools, hospitals and juvenile detention centers across Australia. If you feel inspired to donate too, please visit:https://shoutforgood.com/acmf

06.01.2022 In the end only kindness matters -Jewel. A quick reminder that kindness begins within. The words we say to ourselves and the thoughts we think about ourselves multiply and influences the energy we put out into the world. You cant be the best version of yourself while also relentlessly criticising yourself. Heres a few statements I use to invite in a little more self-kindness - Im trying the best I can I choose to listen to my body and stop when I need to when I take care of myself I invite others to do the same #selfcare #positivethinking #growthmindset #anxiety #thoughtoftheday #happy #affirmations #recovery #haileyplattpsych #seretonineatery

06.01.2022 We are moving! After three years of being in our beautiful and historic Glenferrie Road practice we are moving to make way for a building development project. ...

01.01.2022 I received my voting papers in the mail today and Im impatient to tick the "yes" box. Who do I tick this box for? I tick it for me because I want to live in a world where same sex couples have the same right to marry (and all the legal rights that accompany that) that I do. I tick it for the young people I see who are struggling to find acceptance when their sexuality falls outside what has been traditionally considered the "norm." I tick it for my clients, I tick it for my colleagues, I tick it for my family and I tick it for my friends.

01.01.2022 The Healthy Push Friday was THE day I was finally going to go to a yoga class. As the time drew closer I got more and more stressed "Im too tired," "peak hour traffic will be a nightmare," "Ive had a big week, maybe now isnt the right time." My mind was making going to a yoga class the emotional equivalent of getting 5 teeth pulled at the dentist, bloody uncomfortable! Then I remembered something important - no one was forcing me to go, I didnt have to go, it was my choic...e either way. So I chose to go, I chose to sit with the discomfort of trying something new and do something that was truly meaningful to me. I am happy to report that less than 5 minutes into the class I was mentally scanning my calendar to plan the next time I could take a class. Sometimes we need to give ourselves a little push to do something that matters to us, to make a breakthrough or to grow in the direction we crave to go. Heres a couple of thoughts that helped me push through: "youll feel proud of yourself afterwards" "I choose to go because it is meaningful to me" "Tonight I can say, I finally did it" #motivation #anxiety #depression #growthmindset #change #haileyplattpsych See more
