Coping With Trauma

By

Life events that are frightening, harmful or disturbing may have lasting effects on our psychological health. Trauma is the psychological injury incurred from being involved in or witness to such events. If left untreated, those who have experienced a traumatic event may find it difficult to continue normal functioning or cope with their daily schedules and responsibilities.

Emotional and physical signs that you are dealing with a traumatic event may include;

  • Easily startled
  • Nightmares/Disturbed sleep
  • Disorientation/Confusion
  • Social withdrawal and isolation
  • Avoidance of certain places or events

Thankfully, trauma is treatable. Most people who experience a potentially traumatic event will recover with the help of a trained psychologist. Our team will be able to work with you to provide personalised advice to help minimise distress and get you on your way to living a full and healthy life.

Perfect Your Perfectionism

By

Perfectionism is a tendency to strive unrealistically high standards. Perfectionistic people often based their self-worth on achieving these unrelenting standard, and continuing to pursue these goals regardless of the negative consequences and cost. Some typical behaviours of perfectionism may include excessive organising or list making, avoiding situation that may lead to failure, struggling to make decisions in appropriate period of time.

Even though striving for perfection is a very positive goal for people, if perfectionism starts to interrupt your ability to function at home, at school or at work, seeking some professional assistance is generally recommended. Ongoing intrusive perfectionism may lead to severe anxiety and depression in long term, as the ‘failures’ of not reaching unrealistic goals being to pile up.

Seeking assistance from a psychologist can be one of the best ways to help you (or someone you know) to reduce the impact perfectionism is having on their life. Psychologists may use techniques such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help you transform perfectionistic tendencies to work on your favour.
