▪︎ We see behaviour through the lens of our own experiences. ▪︎ For example, in a home where a caregiver displays rapid, shifting, and disorganized moods. Losing their temper at the drop of the hat and overreacting to events. We learn to read emotions so that we know when we should create distance from them, to keep ourselves safe. ▪︎ We often take this with us into other relationships in later life. ▪︎ We become hyper sensitive to others' moods, constantly questioning or even feeling anxious if they are not themselves. ▪︎ This can become exhausting for both parties and lead to further problems down the road. ▪︎ By acknowledging and actively addressing the impact of earlier life trauma, we empower ourselves to break cycles of dysfunctional behaviour and cultivate healthier connections with others. ▪︎ When we understand how early life exposure to relationships has shaped us, we can begin to rewire ourselves and how we see or react to events. ▪︎ It takes TIME and WORK, but it can and has been done. ▪︎ The relationships and things we see in our early lives are what build the software with which we process the world around us. ▪︎ Sometimes, that software just needs a little update or two in order to start operating optimally again.

Congruence - The secret sauce in the pursuit of life satisfaction. Do you ever feel like no matter how much you sleep, you feel you need more rest? In order to feel truly refreshed, we need to lead a lifestyle that fits with us. ▪︎ For our habits to look like our values and our lifestyle to look like our personalities. ▪︎ This is increasingly becoming more difficult as financial strain and the need to find work, any work, continues to grow. ▪︎ Congruence in psychology speaks to the importance of internal alignment between one's values, beliefs, and habits. ▪︎ When there is congruence, individuals experience a sense of authenticity in their daily lives. ▪︎ This internal harmony cultivates rejuvenation, and a feeling of fulfillment ▪︎ Furthermore, congruence serves as a guiding principle for making decisions that are in alignment with one's true desires and principles, promoting a more fulfilling and purpose-driven life. Think of 5 things you've always loved doing that take you to your happy place. Does your current lifestyle allow you to do these things, or have they become a casualty of being 'too busy'? . . . . . . . #psychology #anxiety #breakthestigma #breakthecycle #adhdcommunity #counselling #counsellingpsychology #durbancounsellor #durbanpsychologist #depression #depressionhelp #emotionalhealth #embracelife #stress #psychologyfacts #lifequotes #livebetter #healing #happiness #innereflection #kznmentalhealthadvocacy #kznmentality #menstrualhealthmatters #mentalhealthawareness #substanceabuseawareness #notalonechallenge #peoplehelpingpeople #relationshipquotes #selflove #congruence

Seeking help is a testament to your resilience. ▪︎ It is also NOT something that we only need to do when everything starts falling apart. ▪︎ Counseling can be as simple as helping you take your mental game to the next level or even helping you tackle obstacles that are limiting your growth. ▪︎ Asking for help is a powerful act of self-awareness and courage. It's choosing growth over stagnation and strength over pride. ▪︎ Counseling provides a safe space to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences without judgment. ▪︎ Reaching out connects you to a community of individuals who can move your headspace from bad to better or good to great. Either way, it's a weapon in your armory - Use it. . . . . . #psychology #psychologyfacts ##psychologysouthafrica #psychotherapy #counselling #growthmindset #livebetter #lifequotes #healing #happiness #anxiety #adhdcommunity #breakthecycle #breakthestigma #counselor #durbancounsellor #emotionalhealth #emotions #innereflection #itsokaynottobeokay #kznmentalhealthadvocacy #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealth #notalonechallenge #stress #TogetherWeHeal #thinkdifferent

Irritation is a mirror, a reflection of something seen in another that has exposed something in the self. Each annoyance unveils a facet of our psyche waiting to be understood. In the mirror of irritation, we glimpse our own unresolved conflicts and unmet needs. Embracing this insight fosters empathy and self-awareness. Instead of focusing on blame or dismissing as mere annoyance , We could, if we choose, use it as a moment to learn something about ourselves. What is it in this moment that has activated an emotional response in me? Is this person showing a behavior that is similar to something I don't like about myself or on the contrary... Is this a behavior that reminds me of a trait I wish I had?

Individuals who are able to remain present in their lives while keeping an 'openness' to the experience of the future are generally more satisfied and better equipped to adapt to life's challenges. ▪︎ Those who fear change often find themselves stagnating and stuck in a cycle - groaning and moaning in a state of low-grade discontent. Asking questions like 'when will it be my turn?' 'Why can't I catch a break' ▪︎The reality is that in a world where things are moving so fast, we can't stand still because we become invisible. ▪︎ The willingness to embrace change reflects a resilient mindset, essential for navigating life's uncertainties. ▪︎ Letting go of the familiar can be daunting, but it's often the catalyst for personal and professional breakthroughs. Taking the first step, or embracing a difficult change, can sometimes take you to the next level. ▪︎ Change is the only constant in our simple but complicated world. ▪︎ Embracing it starts with how we see it and what it represents to us. If we focus our attention on what improvements this change will bring , We might find it a little easier to bear 🐼 Do something different this week - On Purpose😉 . . . . . #psychologyfacts #psychology #peoplehelpingpeople #psychawareness #emotionalhealth #emotionalintellegence #counselling #changequotes #embracelife #stress #anxiety #adhd #durbancounsellor #durbanpsychologist #depression #TogetherWeHeal #thinkdifferent #counsellingpsychology #suicidepreventionmonth #seekdiscomfort
