25.01.2022 Anyone else feeling impenitent about relaxing for the long weekend?

22.01.2022 How many times have you said something and your partner or friend has heard something completely different? How many times have you wanted to explain how you feel and why but just don’t have the words? An emotional vocabulary is something that is so important, not just for us to communicate to others but to also understand ourselves. Having an expansive emotional vocabulary can help us to understand all those feelings that underlie the emotional response. For Mental Health Month we will be exploring and expanding our emotional vocabulary to be able to tune in better to our own emotional needs.

21.01.2022 Mind Mode takes the health and safety of our clients and staff very seriously, and we are closely monitoring the developing Coronavirus COVID-19 situation. We remain open for regular face to face visits, however we are now offering Telehealth sessions to all clients if preferred. If you have a future appointment booked and would like to change it to a Telehealth session, please contact reception.

Please contact us on 4288 4667 if you would like further information regarding this or to book an appointment.

17.01.2022 "When our body and mind experience safety, our social engagement system enables us to collaborate, listen, empathize, and connect, as well as be creative, innov...ative, and bold in our thinking and ideas. This has positive benefits for our relationships as well as our lives in general." Emotional safety enables us to feel increased compassion for one another. Ellen Boeder, MA, LPC, discusses why emotional safety is necessary for emotional connection: https://bit.ly/36RUfwJ

16.01.2022 OVERSTIMULATED 1. Excessive stimulated; too much external stimuli; overly energised. Overstimulation can occur from deeply processing internal stimuli (thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations) or external stimuli (people, noises, light, smells), which can quickly lead to feeling anxious and overwhelmed. ... Sensory overload is a condition where one or more of the five senses are strained and it becomes difficult to focus on the task at hand. Along with mindfulness, grounding with your 5 senses can help when you are feeling overwhelmed and overstimulated.

16.01.2022 REJECTED dismiss as inadequate, unacceptable or faulty. Rejection can hinder our self esteem and mood, destabilising our sense of belonging. Research shows that the same areas in our brain are activated when we experience rejection as when we experience physical pain. Everyone experiences rejection, and it often hurts more than we anticipate it to. Rejection should be a temporary feeling. If it stays with you longer than it should, try to:... * Allow yourself time to feel and process your negative emotions * Spend time with people who love and accept you (and make you feel good!) * Practice self love and self care

10.01.2022 Reception is now closed for Christmas, and will reopen on Monday the 4th of January with NEW operating hours of 9am - 4pm Monday to Friday.

09.01.2022 Today's word "misunderstood" In frustration we may sometimes say (or yell) "You just don't understand!!!". An easier way for someone to hear this is if we say "I'm feeling really misunderstood, something isn't working here, maybe we could try something else" Don't forget that it's hard to listen when we are feeling attacked, and it's hard to be calm when we feel we aren't being listened to...put the daggers down and use your "I feel" statements to give yourself the best chance of being heard.

06.01.2022 i.e. I feel determined to increase my emotional vocabulary...tune into my feelings... and communicate them effectively with myself and others
