Signs of abuse that you should look out for in your child’s behaviour

Image
A young mind is impressionable and each incident can engrave a psychological pattern in them. They learn from experiences, just like we all do. But what they cannot do at this age frame is to understand what is right and what is wrong. And if their understanding of the world goes undetected, their behaviour pattern can spiral in downwards into the hellish manoeuvre. Children are not born antisocial unless there is a genetic flaw that makes them unable to feel empathy. But children can grow to become defensive, aggressive and abusive with each untoward incident. Instances of abuse can greatly change the way a child behaves and interacts with the world. And since most of the cases of abuse come from someone they know, they hesitate to trust people who truly care for them.    We can bring about a change in this toxic pattern with the help of therapists. They will unravel each and every piece and try to fix it with your child. They have a high responsibility of sewing up ...

How to keep your work going while going through anxiety at your workplace

It is good to be neurotic in healthy amounts. It has always kept us safe and helped us in strategising for unfortunate outcomes. But too much of it always activates our brain to get into flight or fight mode. While you cannot physically fight work stress, you need to strengthen your mind to punch anxiety to the core. Worrying about something is good till the time it helps you to think about possible solutions and springs you to action. Endless worrying loops you into anxiety and in many cases, anxiety becomes chronic. And that can only spiral down to mania. We also know that there are times where you would want to scream and run away from a scene and wouldn’t care if anyone bothers or not. Anxiety leads us to reckless behaviour even if that anxiety was supposed to keep us away from it. So yes, it is not healthy. Be a warrior, not a worrier.  Anxiety stems from sending your brain on autopilot and let it run on steroids, screening bad possible instances and outcomes that can happ...

How to calm yourself down during an anxiety attack

Image
Anxiety is worse than anything. If depression is slow suicide, then anxiety is quickly descending into panic and madness. In depression, your mind and body can take a halt slowly as each symptom increases day by day. Anxiety is jumping on all these symptoms at once with flight or fight response. You could die on the spot with an excessive rush of stress to your heart. This is why controlling anxiety is crucial. Anxiety is a natural response to perceived threat or danger. This is our body’s evolutionary way of survival. A good amount of cautiousness is helpful, but when it gets triggered by even a minute gesture or signal and exceeds to way uncontrollable amount, then you need to do something about it. Everything you see would be perceived as a threat and would lead you to paranoia. The worst thing about this is that you would also perceive people who are trying to help you as predators. And frequent episodes of it can trigger other mental health disorders such as schizophrenia, insom...
