Post-traumatic stress disorder – What is it?

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition caused by very stressful, unexpected and frightening or distressing events.

Someone suffering with PTSD can relive the traumatic event through flashbacks, nightmares and may experience feelings of fear, anxiety, isolation, irritability, guilt or shame. They may also have problems sleeping, concentrating and focusing which can impinge their day-to-day life.

These symptoms can be severe and persistent enough to have a significant impact on the person’s health and prevent them functioning as they would like.

A Celebration – A Rite of Passage!

The British are coming, on the rag, got the painters in, that time of the month….

There is a whole raft of terms used regarding the period, or menstruation and subsequently the menopause that create a complete misunderstanding and an unnecessary negative perception of what is happening.

The Menopause was a celebration – and so it should be!

Keeping a Journal – Words and/or Pictures

One of the most effective ways to reduce stress, anxiety, depression and help deal with the challenges of life is to keep a journal. And, many therapists will recommend that you do this.

Keeping a Journal is something you can do anywhere, at anytime whether on a phone with a free app like, Microsoft OneNote or on a private notebook or sketchpad. It can be in words, sketches or a combination of both.

And, it can be fun.

PMDD & Relationships – FREE EVENT

It’s not Banter…. It’s Trauma…. It’s Abuse

In the world of Psychosexual Therapy or Sex Therapy, we work within a Biopsychosocial Model or Framework i.e. we seek to understand a person’s sexual and relationship issues not simply from a biological or physiological perspective but, also from a psychological and social perspective.

It may come as a surprise to some but, many psychosexual problems stem from social and cultural norms i.e. behavioral aspects of being a man, woman, or other gender identity in our society and subsequently how genders are treated. Sexism is a prejudice or discrimination based on one’s sex or gender. It is closely linked to gender roles and stereotypes, and may create a belief that one sex or gender is intrinsically superior to another….. which is not the case.
