Recognising Deception?
Emma Young, BPS Research Digest. How do you know whether to trust what someone is telling you? There’s ongoing debate about which cues are reliable,
Tolerated, Not Accepted?
Sara Cvetkovska from Utrecht University and colleagues find that the experience of being tolerated is closer to discrimination than it is to acceptance — impacting overall wellbeing and increasing negative mood.
Anti Depressants and Risk of Death
Antidepressants block the absorption of serotonin in these organs as well, and the researchers warn that antidepressants could increase the risk of death by preventing multiple organs from functioning properly.
My Feral Heart-‘Enabled’ Disability
The film is aptly named ‘My Feral Heart’ because human hearts are feral, no matter how much we try to civilise them-wounded through loss, and healing when it can, in unexpected conditions which we cannot hope to control.
New Approach to Depression
Anhedonia is the reduced ability to experience pleasure or lack of reactivity to pleasurable stimuli; it is a core symptom of depression and associated with worse outcomes, poor response to antidepressant medication, and increased risk of suicide.
Humour, Anxiety and Depression
More recently, scientists have shown that positive humor can offer protection against symptoms of anxiety and depression. It can even be a balm against the psychological toll of death and dying.

Special Workplace Wellbeing Articles
Some helpful articles for navigating issues present on our modern workplaces.
Chronic Conditions and Mental Health
The model is therefore also a treatment that can be used by psychologists and psychotherapists, who help people adapt to a life that is never going to be the same anymore.
Small Talk is Good for You
Building rapport with strangers can leave people feeling heard, respected, and emotionally validated. These random opportunities to engage in small talk can help boost moods and erode loneliness.
Care in Crisis: Crushed Humanity ?
The sense of being beleaguered was true not just of low-paid healthcare assistants and social care workers, but also of GPs, consultants, professors and directors of nursing.
“Link Executive pay to Climate Goals”: Carney
Speaking at the UN Environment Programme Finance Initiative roundtable on Tuesday, the former central bank boss said lenders should – at the very least – be transparent over whether or not pay is being tied to climate targets.
From Arts to Tech ?
For many workers who would ordinarily be earning a living in theatres, live music venues and nightclubs, which largely still remain closed in the UK, however, retraining has been a harsh reality since they lost their jobs in March.
Mental Illness, Substance Misuse and Workplace
Addressing mental health and substance misuse in the workplace improves workers’ wellbeing and productivity, and benefits employers’ bottom line (ie, profit).
TF Wellbeing Groups and Forums
Join with other TherapyFriends to explore subjects of interest to you!
Each of our interest groups has a forum where you can post images, discuss specific topics, and meet other like-minded people on your path to wellbeing!
Anxiety, Rejection and Loss
Whether the rejection we experience is large or small, one thing remains constant — it always hurts, and it usually hurts more than we expect it to!
The question is, why? Why are we so bothered by a good friend failing to “like” the family holiday picture we posted on Facebook? Why does it ruin our mood? Why would something so seemingly insignificant make us feel angry at our friend, moody, and bad about ourselves?
Share with your TherapyFriends here in our unique Rejection and Loss group about your experiences.
Bereavement
“Give sorrow words; the grief that does not speak knits up the o-er wrought heart and bids it break.”
― William Shakespeare, Macbeth
“Perhaps this is what the stories meant when they called somebody heartsick. Your heart and your stomach and your whole insides felt empty and hollow and aching.”
― Gabriel García Márquez
