Our blog is written in house by our team of psychologists, our dietician and some guest writers. It is a curation of our thoughts, favourite facts and top tips for health and wellbeing and is often inspired by our own lived experiences.
This week my daughter Halle dialled into Christmas in July by video call. She's in the Navy, she was where she needed to be, and she was there on a screen, present and absent at once in the way only technology can make possible. It got me thinking about the real cost of missing out, not the social media kind, but the kind that comes when you genuinely can't be somewhere you want to be.
Phone use with kids has become one of the most common worries parents bring into the therapy room. Our psychologist explores why the screen so often isn't the real issue, but a stand in for anxiety, loneliness, or a world that feels too hard to face right now, and why understanding what it's doing for your child is the first step toward real change.
When trauma lives beyond the reach of words, healing doesn't require a perfect narrative. Discover how EMDR, somatic therapy, schema therapy, and other approaches help you access and process what language alone can't reach — at Conscious Health Clinic in the Illawarra.
