Depression: Truthfully anybody can get depressed

Depression: Truthfully anybody can get depressed

Depression. Many of us will experience this low mood, bewilderment and melancholy at some stage in our life. Occasionally it can be related to a discernable happening but come from nowhere. 

World Suicide Prevention Day

World Suicide Prevention Day

Quite a few years ago I sat in an olive green Vauxhall car on some cliffs in north Norfolk, it was raining. I was determined to drive through the flimsy knee-high wooden barrier over the top.

Optimise your life

Optimise your life

Many people rush around, pushing and shoving and trying to squeeze as much as they possibly can into their years on this planet. Often these same people feel guilty about sitting still or not ‘doing’ something.

Loneliness and mental health

The easing of lockdown and the opportunity to appraise

The easing of lockdown and the opportunity to appraise

Covid 19 has made a difference to most people’s lives and returning to the ‘new normal’ may be difficult for some as we try to adjust to life after lockdown.

Meditation

When most people are first introduced to meditation, they often have an impression that it’s all a bit ‘touchy feely’, a little ‘airy-fairy’, not their sort of thing.

Kindness and Altruism

There seem to be two kinds of altruism. Psychological altruism means being kind out of a concern for the welfare of others, while not thinking of your own self-interest. Biological altruism refers to behaviour that helps the survival of a species. Apparently, evolution has actually hard-wired philanthropic conduct into human beings. Perhaps humans are not just selfish or psychologically egoistical as some may propose? 

Telephone and Online Therapy

Telephone and Online Therapy

There are some things we cannot change in this Covid 19 situation, but we can modify how we react psychologically in these times. 

Change, Loss, Time and Space

Change, Loss, Time and Space

We cannot deny that many of us will experience sadness because of COVID 19 related events. We are all under this gloomy psychological cloud at the moment, but clouds pass and after the sky clears, the sun eventually comes out.
