13.01.2022 [PSYCHOLOGY AND PAIN] This week was Psychology Week 2020, and the focus this year was Pain. Some helpful tips for managing chronic pain: ... 1. YOUR GP IS YOUR FRIEND : There are a range of factors that cause pain so get your doctor involved in investigating the cause of the pain. 2. TEAMWORK MAKES THE DREAMWORK : Pain is complex and a team based approach involving different health professionals can be hugely beneficial, something your GP will help you arrange. 3. SLOW AND STEADY : The goal of pain treatment is often to increase a person's functioning while managing symptoms. Although this may seem counterintuitive, resuming your routines and activities can help reduce pain, improve your mood and increase your enjoyment from life. If you have not participated in certain activities for some time, a gradual approach to resuming activity is needed. 4. SUPPORTING OTHERS : Supporting family or friends with close pain can look a little different to other illness. For example, resting for too long can lead to a worsening of symptoms and stopping all activities (e.g., domestic chores, hobbies, work) can contribute to feeling depressed and anxious. Therefore, the best response is to encourage the individual with pain to do what is a manageable amount of an activity and to assist with what still needs to be completed while they build up their capacity. It's also extremely important to make sure you are looking after yourself and your own mental health! Take time out for rest and relaxation and seek support from other family members, friends or even support groups. Psychologists with experience in treating pain can help address some of the barriers to recovery, and address some of the psychological difficulties that come with the experience of pain. Psychologists are great at helping people develop their self-management and problem-solving skills, focusing on behaviour change and identifying the barriers that may prevent them from making progress.

12.01.2022 @rebeccasharpe_creative sure does know how to capture Wollongong! The name "Wollongong" is believed to mean "seas of the South" in the local Aboriginal language. Other meanings have been suggested, such as "great feast of fish", "hard ground near water", "song of the sea", "sound of the waves", "many snakes" and "five islands". @rebeccasharpe_creative via @visitwollongong

11.01.2022 "Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around." - Leo Buscaglia.

10.01.2022 There are such great benefits when including walking in the session, however if you are injured or don’t feel like walking then there are plenty of areas to sit and take in the views.

09.01.2022 Knowing the best way to help someone struggling can be tough. Unlike physical injury, mental pain can't always be seen. A good first step is to start a conversation. Ask if they're okay and be prepared to listen. @headspace_aus and @lifelineaustralia offer valuable resources if you or someone you know is in need

03.01.2022 "Sometimes the smallest step in the right direction ends up being the biggest step of your life" Setting yourself simple tasks can be a great step in working towards larger goals.
