Shame and guilt. 😟 How are these different?
😟 Shame is felt when you judge yourself negatively, e.g. If you feel that you are a bad, weak or useless person, you could feel a sense of deep shame.
😟 Guilt is felt when you consider your behaviour as negative, e.g. If you fail to pay back money that you borrowed from someone, you could feel a sense of guilt if you consider your actions to be wrong.

😟 Shame often follows traumatic events or if, whilst growing up, you were repeatedly told (or made to feel) that you were bad or useless.
😊😊😊 Learning to recognise your shame will help you to manage it, without resorting to maladaptive coping mechanisms, which results in a perpetuating cycle of shame! #shame #guilt #trauma #ptsd #traumatherapy #manage #cope #feelings #thoughts #behaviours #actions #awareness #mindfulness #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #professional #development #selfdevelopment #mentor #nojudgment #doyourbest

How is immersing yourself in someone else’s story an excellent way to grow yourself?
✔ you experience a different point of view.
✔ you have to expand yourself, challenge your values and beliefs, increasing your mental flexibility
✔ it is an opportunity to be empathetic and be grateful
✔ you may gain new perspectives
✔ you develop respect for others
✔ you enhance listening skills

When you talk with other people, listen closely and make eye contact, ensuring that you are being attentive. Make sure you understand, ask a question, reflect on what you have heard, and allow them to clarify if it's not. #grow #learn #newthings #respect #bebetter #nojudgement #selfdevelopment #mentor #listeningskills #attention #mutualrespect #mentalskills #flexibility #resilience #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness

Chronic pain can be very debilitating, as it negatively impacts our ability to exercise, do household chores, work, be intimate, socialise, or concentrate. Chronic pain can cause or worsen depression; it intensifies anxiety due to fear of anything we do potentially worsen our pain. A multimodal approach is the best way to manage chronic pain and helpful strategies include stress reduction, breathing and meditation, gentle exercise, yoga, psychological therapy, massage and limiting alcohol and illicit substances. Certain antidepressants can also help to improve pain symptoms. Although tough, it’s important to try remain hopeful and open to exploring alternate treatments. #chronicpain #pain #avoidant #hopeless #despondent #alternatetreatment #breathing #yoga #exercise #meditation #stretch #antidepressants #mentalhealth #painfree #remedies #holistichealth #mindbodyconnection #mentalhealthawareness #psychology

Trauma triggers our body’s alarm system which activates a fight, flight or freeze response. Sometimes, without adequate processing and healing, our body gets stuck in these responses, causing persistent feelings of hyperarousal and jitteriness. We can become ‘set off’ by even minor events.
In many ways, unmanaged trauma ‘lives’ in our body. Trauma-informed yoga works to control the body’s stress response and calms the nervous system, allowing for self-regulation through breathing and acclimatising to the body’s sensations. Yoga is a gentle practice that improves the body-mind connection, leading to better self-awareness and control.

Severe IBS (irritable bowl syndrome) can worsen the symptoms of depression and anxiety. Equally, IBS can be exacerbated by symptoms of anxiety and depression. Depression can make us more sensitive to pain, making any IBS symptoms feel worse. When we are depressed or anxious, we may be less likely to eat healthily or exercise, all of which could improve our IBS symptoms. Our bodies and minds are closely linked, and it is important, at all times, to take care of both. If you are struggling with IBS symptoms (bloating, pain, diarrhoea or constipation), first consult a doctor to exclude any underlying, causative GIT issues. Else, it can be very helpful to consult with a dietician, who includes focussing on your mental health! #IBS #mentalhealth #bodymindconnection #healthybody #healthymind #diet #exercise #pain #bloating #cramps #sensitive #mindhealth #mindfulness #yoga #meditation

Have you realised how impossible it is to think clearly when your emotions are heightened? You are not alone! This is because our brains work similarly and the areas of our brains that govern emotions, interfere with the parts of our brains responsible for rational thought. It is a normal biological process and not a sign of weakness or inadequacy. Next time your emotions are intense and overwhelming, remember to try to calm yourself first, before attempting to think clearly and constructively. Try to calm yourself by breathing slowly or using distraction and self-soothing techniques. #overwhelmingemotions #emotions #dbt #wisemind #rational #emotional #calm #think #clearthought #normal #becalm #thinkclear #clarity #brain #cognitive #process #biology #mentalhealth

Recovery from emotional trauma takes time. We seem to honour this need for time when referring to repairing from a physical injury or procedure. When we look well from the outside, we may feel ashamed or undeserving of taking the time to self-care, to heal and to regain our full functioning. Mental and emotional ill health is often less understood and not as tolerated - by others and by ourselves. It is important to take a similar approach to our emotional healing as we do our physical mending. Self-compassion is a gift that we can give to ourselves. Taking the time we need to overcome adversity, allows us to emerge as stronger and more resilient. #heal #taketime #mendyourmind #selfcompassion #selfcare #traumahealing #traumarecovery #mindovermatter #noguilt #noshame #liveyourlife #mentalhealthadvocate

Negative emotions are generally unpleasant and most of us would prefer not to have to experience heartache, anger, frustration, irritability and hatred. However, negative emotions provide the contrast that highlights and intensifies our positive feelings. Many negative emotions help steer our choices, keeping us safe and away from situations or people that are potentially harmful. Because we can't selectively disconnect from emotion, trying to switch off our negative feelings may result in complete numbness and disassociation, which is frequently more unpleasant. We need to learn to tolerate our feelings - making them visitors to our bodies, knowing that often visitors can be unwanted and unpleasant - but they do leave! It's important that we cherish our precious, joyful moments. #joy #pain #emotions #postivefeelings #negativefeelings #DBT #distresstolerance #manageyourmind #managemoods #feelingspass #awareness #growth #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthadvocate

A time to reflect. With the war in the Ukraine presently, today is certainly a very sad day, as we see first hand the devastation that accompanies war. We thank those that offer their lives for the safety of others. We send wishes of strength to their loved ones waiting for them to return home safely. I'm truly conflicted living life, knowing about the war in Ukraine and the many suffering. I am astounded that as humans, we remain somewhat powerless against tyrants, dictators, school yard bullies, abusers, ego-maniacs and narcissists. Kindness is a simple gesture that underpins the likelihood of a better society and world. Be kind. #bekind #kindness #domore #whynothelp #warisawaste #lestweforget🌹 #anzacday #againstwar #lovethyneighbour #loveislove #weareallthesame

An article published in Forbes Magazine, listed the following 5 things as being ‘given up’ by parents who were able to reach a successful work-life balance: 1. Their pride in asking for help 2. The belief that they need to split their time equally 3. The idea that they have to neglect themselves 4. The desire to always make their kids happy 5. The guilt they experience about working. Being a working parent, I completely relate to this challenge and the endless juggling act that never feels successful. #maternalguilt #mothersguilt #motherhood #fatherhood #parent #parenting #worklifebalance #workingparents #workingmama #try #guiltfree #doyourbest #hardwork #workethic #goodexample #mentalhealth #corporatewellness #corporatementalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #askforhelp

Your life choices are easier once you have decided on your values. It doesn’t mean that you won’t feel hurt, disappointed, angry or regretful; but, you will find it easier to tolerate these emotions, knowing that you are choosing the direction of your life and who will be in it. Try to distil your core values and similarly it will allow you to simplify your life. #declutter #simplify #corevalues #values #valuesinaction #lifemeaning #lifegoals #goodness #authenticity #authentic #livetrue #beyourself #realdeal #admirable #respect #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealth

Children who are on the autism spectrum will seem resistant to doing many things. This opposition should be considered thoughtfully as it’s more likely to be that these children feel they can’t do what has been asked of them. The reasons for this may be varied e.g they don’t understand the instruction, they find the particular task overwhelming (especially sensory overwhelm), they lack the skills (fine or gross motor or social skills) are anxious, afraid to fail and disappoint you. It’s important to help these children (or any child) to learn new tasks. Teaching a task, doesn’t mean that your child has learnt it. Learning needs repetition, modelling, having tasks broken down into simple steps and lots of praise for any success! #ASD #autism #attention #ADHD #executivecoaching #teaching #taskbreakdown #simplify#guide #praise

We are deceitful for many reasons, some of which include:
- to avoid punishment
- to protect someone else
- to avoid an awkward, uncomfortable or undesired situation
- to gain a reward that we don't deserve or that isn't otherwise achievable
- to win admiration or avoid shame
- to control or have power over others
- to manipulate people or situations for our benefit #truth #reliable #trust #deceive #avoid #shame #guilt #faceup #introspective #why #bebetter #awareness #selfdefense #selfdevelopment #mentalhealthawareness #strategies #selfhelp

Major illnesses presenting with psychiatric symptoms include infectious, pulmonary, thyroid, diabetic, hematopoietic, hepatic and CNS diseases. Common symptom presentations are depression, anxiety, confusion , speech and memory issues and at times, psychosis. Always ensure that you do have all the proper investigations done before assuming it’s a mental illness. #symptoms #health #covid #healthcare #doctor #treatment #coronavirus #cure #awareness #disease #chronicillness #anxiety #pain #mentalhealth #medical #invisibleillness #prevention #signs #diagnosis #fatigue #causes #medicine #ashleytisdale #checkup #love #chronicpain #neuropsychiatry #neurology

Medication definitely has its place in the treatment of any mental health disorder. It’s important to understand that role when deciding to use medication and to have clear plans and goals of treatment and an understanding of time frames to improvement and the risks and benefits of use. Have a discussion with your doctor or mental health professional, who can guide your decision, allowing you to make an informed decision. In mental health, as with any physical health condition, medication is used to manage rather than ‘fix’ a problem. Using medication doesn’t equate to weakness. A diabetic might eat well and exercise, yet still need to take medication. Despite knowing the strategies to manage your mood or anxiety for example, it may be impossible to use these when symptoms are too severe. In this case, medication might be life changing or life-saving! #postyourpill #medssavedmylife #myfavouritemeds #medications #antidepressants #depression #anxiety #mentalhealth #therapy #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthmatters #bipolar #adhd #psychiatry #mentalillness #antidepressant #depressionawareness #ptsd #sadness #medication #depressionhelp #suicide #psychology #trauma #prescription #counselling #antidepression #ocd #recovery

We are so excited to be offering a new service for treatment resistant depression and OCD. TMS is a proven treatment that is painless, safe and non-invasive and has existed for many years but is now accessible to many, being subsidised by Medicare. We are proud to partner with Brainsway who have the only deep TMS machines available in Australia. These machines offer a more effective treatment than standard TMS machines. The machines have FDA approval for depression and OCD treatment but can be used in other areas of mental health, neurology and pain management. Contact 1300-1-AWARE(29273) for more information. I will be directly involved in running this service within Awarehub. #tmstherapy #tmsmachine #tms #rtms #mentalhealth #ocd #ocdtreatment #depression #depressiontreatment #resistantdepression #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthawareness

As humans, we hurt ourselves in many ways. This may be through actions or harsh and very critical inner dialogue. Self-destructive behaviours may be repetitive and a means of self-sabotage, occurring (unconsciously or consciously) when we are doing well or success is imminent but we fail to trust it. Self-harm can be soothing and releasing of difficult emotions, it can combat feelings of numbness or be a form of self-punishment when feelings of ‘badness’ arise within. If self-destructive and self harming behaviour is familiar, we needn’t feel ashamed. It signals time to ask for help, that is available, and can assist us to overcome this challenge, building resilience, self-worth and alternative, uplifting behaviours. #empowerothers #strongmindset #mindsetcoaching #selfworth #startswithyou #mentalwealth #selfdevelopment #workonyourself #selfgrowth #growth

Everybody communicates through their actions. An infant may cry when they are hungry, just like an adult may become quiet when they are unhappy. Adults and children are communicating something through their behavior during every moment in every day, even if they are not aware of it. If children or adults feel unheard, insecure, angry or invalidated, their behaviours may become ‘louder’ (very intense and frequent) and more negative, harmful or self-destructive. HOW ARE YOU COMMUNICATING THROUGH YOUR BEHAVIOURS? How is someone close to you communicating their feelings through their actions? Are you validating and equally, being validated? #communication #love #relationships #actions #actionsspeaklouderthanwords #negativeenergy #validation #expression #beproductive #articulate #selfdestruction #listen #selfhelp #responsibility

Complicated grief is a DSM disorder . It’s said to be when grief lingers, gets worse or remains intense and to the extent that it keeps you from healing. Complicated grief may be considered when the intensity of grief has not decreased in the months after your loved one's death. Some professionals diagnose complicated grief when grieving continues to be intense, persistent and debilitating beyond 12 months. Risk factors for developing complicated grief include: An unexpected or violent death, such as death from a car accident, or the murder or suicide of a loved one
Death of a child
Close or dependent relationship to the deceased person
Social isolation or loss of a support system or friendships
Past history of depression, separation anxiety or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
Traumatic childhood experiences, such as abuse or neglect
Other major life stressors, such as major financial hardships. As someone who has suffered traumatic loss and as a psychiatrist, I struggle to compartmentalise these concepts and know that grief is an enduring process that fluctuates and can be worse at certain times. However, if you are struggling, please always reach out for help! #grief #loss #griefjourney #griefsupport #griefandloss #love #grieving #healing #mentalhealth #bereavement #death #childloss #griefquotes #lifeafterloss #griefawareness #depression #hope #anxiety #miscarriage #babyloss #trauma #family #infantloss #support #selfcare #stillbirth #griefrecovery #mentalhealthawareness #pregnancyloss

Thank you every one for the lovely birthday wishes and messages. I know things get busy and it takes time to send a message, so I am appreciative! The past few years have made birthdays bittersweet as I miss getting a call from my dad. But it was so lovely to spend a fun and beautiful time with my closest family who always make me feel special and loved (as do all your thoughtful messages)xxx

Your emotions will filter reality. Situations will appear as your feelings and thoughts suggest, but this may not be true. As you grow your understanding and awareness, you will be better equipped to challenge your emotions and cognitions. This will allow you to tolerate the darker moments until the reality becomes more clear. #mentalstrength #mentalhealth #mindset #mentalhealthmatters #motivation #mentalhealthawareness #mentalwellness #mentalhealthsupport #mentalhealthrecovery #fitness #health #anxiety #mentalhealthwarrior #selflove #wellness #strength #depression #mind #inspiration #recovery #healthymind #stress #love #healthandwellness #selfcare #mindfullness #mentalillness #help #mindfulness
