#burnout
Productivity
fromSilicon Canals
11 hours agoThe workers most likely to burn out aren't always the ones doing the most - they're the ones who can't tell the difference between urgent and important - Silicon Canals
Workers overwhelmed by urgency rather than importance are more likely to experience burnout.
Psychology
fromSilicon Canals
19 hours agoPsychology says the people who age most visibly aren't the ones with the hardest lives - they're the ones who never learned to put things down, who carried every disappointment and every grievance and every unfairness forward into the next decade, and the carrying shows, eventually, in ways that no amount of sleep or skincare has ever been shown to address - Silicon Canals
Chronic psychological stress and the inability to release emotional burdens accelerate aging and impact physical appearance.
Mental health

13 hours agoThe person who thrives during a crisis and falls apart during ordinary weeks isn't broken. Their entire operating system was built for emergencies, and peace registers as a system error because they never learned what competence feels like without urgency underneath it. - Silicon Canals
Crisis-thrivers are often dysregulated, struggling with normalcy after emergencies, revealing a deeper issue with their nervous system's response to stress.
Mindfulness
fromSilicon Canals
11 hours agoThe people who forgive quickly and the people who forgive slowly are not experiencing the same emotion. Quick forgiveness is often a nervous system releasing a threat. Slow forgiveness is a mind rebuilding a model of someone it can no longer predict. - Silicon Canals
Forgiveness is a complex process influenced by biological and psychological factors, not simply a choice between letting go or holding grudges.

#rest
Mental health
fromSilicon Canals
13 hours agoThere's a type of person who only feels permission to rest when they're physically sick, and the illness isn't the problem. The problem is the invisible equation they absorbed decades ago that says rest must be earned through suffering and a healthy body has no valid claim to stillness. - Silicon Canals
Sickness is often the only socially acceptable reason for rest, revealing deep-rooted beliefs about productivity and morality.
#self-reliance
Mental health
fromSilicon Canals
7 hours agoPsychology says people who describe themselves as self-sufficient aren't always describing a strength. Sometimes they're describing the scar tissue that formed where the need for other people used to be, and they've carried it so long they genuinely mistake the numbness for peace. - Silicon Canals
Self-reliance is often mistaken for strength, but true strength includes the ability to seek help and share vulnerabilities.
Mental health
fromSilicon Canals
19 hours agoI'm 66 and I recently understood that the reason I find it so hard to ask for help is not independence - it is the very specific and very old belief that needing something from another person is the first step toward becoming a burden, and a burden, in the house I grew up in, was the one thing nobody was allowed to be - Silicon Canals
Independence can often mask fear, leading to a reluctance to ask for help and a belief that needing assistance is a weakness.
Psychology
fromSilicon Canals
1 day agoNeuroscience reveals that the calmest person in any crisis isn't naturally fearless - their brain learned to delay panic because their childhood required them to be functional before they were allowed to be afraid - Silicon Canals
Calmness under pressure is a learned response, not merely a personality trait or temperament.
Psychology

2 days agoThere's a generation of people who were taught to apologize for their needs so effectively that as adults they experience wanting something as a form of aggression against whoever might have to provide it - Silicon Canals
Many adults associate expressing needs with guilt, viewing requests as impositions rather than natural interactions.
Psychology
fromSilicon Canals
2 days agoThe cruelest myth about self-discipline is that you have to feel ready - you don't, you never will, and the people who figured that out earlier simply have more years of evidence that the feeling eventually follows the action - Silicon Canals
Self-discipline begins with action, not feelings of readiness or motivation.

1 day agoPsychology says the adults most likely to end up in therapy aren't the ones who had dramatic or obviously painful childhoods - they're the ones who grew up in households where everything was technically fine, nobody was cruel, and something essential was quietly missing in a way that took decades to find the words for - Silicon Canals
Emotional neglect in seemingly fine childhoods can have profound effects, leaving individuals feeling their inner world doesn't matter.

1 month agoThe Bureaucratization of the Therapist
Psychotherapy and counselling psychology, however, did not emerge from institutional logic. The field was forged within relational, psychoanalytic, and depth-oriented traditions that prioritize lived experience, symbolic meaning, cultural complexity, and human nuance over procedural standardization. Bureaucracy seeks predictability, yet psychotherapy was built upon a disciplined engagement with uncertainty.

1 week agoPeople With Bipolar and BPD Struggle in Mental Healthcare
There is a unique kind of pain in losing your mind, not just once, but over and over. Losing your perception of reality, of your emotions, of your closest relationships-both across months and multiple times a day. Knowing deep down that something is wrong but being unable to stop it.

Mental health terminology has migrated from clinical settings into everyday conversation, reducing stigma and increasing awareness, but clinical meanings shift in common speech, requiring precision for effective care and public discourse.

2 months agoPeople With Mental Illness Are Too Easily 'Othered'
Anyone who is under psychiatric care, or loves someone who is, may want to read the book The Devil's Castle: Nazi Eugenics, Euthanasia, and How Psychiatry's Troubled History Reverberates Today, by Susanne Paola Antonetta. If you care about history, particularly the history of eugenics, you may be interested as well. The book may offer us more respect for the mind, for consciousness, and its diversity.

Social inequality and hardship drive much mental ill-being; cautious, neurodiversity-informed therapeutic approaches and careful use of diagnostic labels can aid mentalisation and prevention.

2 months agoWhy UAP Disclosure Challenges Mental Health Ethics
If you saw something in the sky that you genuinely could not explain-something now officially categorized as an unidentified anomalous phenomena, or UAP-would you tell your therapist or psychiatrist? For many people, the honest answer is no. Not because they doubt their own perception, but because they worry about what might happen next. They fear being seen as unstable, having the experience reframed as a symptom, or having it documented in a way that could affect future care, employment, or credibility.

2 months agoThe Depression Clinicians Don't Talk About
They arrive on time, think clearly, and care about their clients. Outwardly, everything seems fine. In private, though, things can feel very different. A clinician's depression may not show up as clear despair. More often, it feels like emotional numbness, quietly withdrawing, or slowly losing interest in things that once mattered. Pleasure fades, curiosity lessens, and the work goes on, but it feels heavier and less alive.
