Ever had your manager say, “Can we talk?” and instantly assumed you’re about to get fired? 😬 That’s catastrophising - when our brains jump straight to the worst-case scenario, even when there’s no evidence that it’s true. Catastrophising is more common than we realise, especially when we’re under stress, but the good news is: There are ways to break that mental loop. Psychologist and Chief of Clinical Services at Wysa, Smriti Joshi, shares insights in this Verywell Mind article on why we catastrophise and how to stop it from simple thought reframing techniques to mindfulness and therapy. 👉 Read the full piece here: https://lnkd.in/eevyC-h2 #MentalHealth #Catastrophising #Confidence #SelfEsteem #Depression #Anxiety

Wysa’s new research shows that loneliness is more closely linked with physical and mental ill health than with any other demographic. It correlates with both mind and body, higher rates of pain, fatigue, insomnia, and depression. While living with others might seem protective, the study reveals that connection matters more than cohabitation. Fewer than half of those struggling access professional help, and only one in three find it easy. Tackling this calls for collaborative, integrated care, where human support is strengthened by digital tools. 🔗 Read the full report here: https://lnkd.in/g8EPucYA
