RSD stands for rejection sensitive dysphoria. RSD isn’t a diagnosable part of ADHD, but for people who experience it, its very real. While ADHD isn’t a mental health problem, we know that it can interact with mental health problems, as it does for Georgia. Georgia shares her experience of RSD and how this has affected her mental health. She also shares how she looks after herself and her mental health while experiencing RSD. Georgia is part of our Community Reporters programme, a project funded by YouTube Health to train people with lived experience to create their own content. We know that everyone experiences mental health problems in a different way and these tips might not work for everyone.

How the fire really began remains unknown. The post October 8, 1871: The Great Chicago Fire begins appeared first on VicNews.

How do you build confidence when the voice in your head keeps telling you that you’re not good enough? In this episode, Osher Gunsberg is joined by performance psychologist and mental performance coach Dr Cindra Kamphoff, author of 'The Confidence Habit' and executive performance coach to some of the world's most successful athletes, to explore why even highly successful people can struggle with self-doubt, harsh self-talk and the fear of making mistakes. Cindra has worked with NFL players and members of the U.S. track and field team, helping them develop the mental skills to perform under pressure. But the lessons she shares aren't just for athletes—they're for anyone who has ever questioned themselves, replayed a mistake or felt like they should be doing better. Cindra explores the difference between our “inner critic” and our “inner coach”, and how learning to recognise and challenge negative thoughts can fundamentally change the way we see ourselves. She also shares practical tools for dealing with self-doubt, including her “truth meter” and three questions designed to help determine whether the stories we tell ourselves are actually true. She also explains why confidence isn't something you're simply born with, but a skill that can be developed, and how to recover from mistakes without allowing them to define your next performance, using her powerful “learn, burn, return” approach. From changing negative self-talk to letting go of past failures and learning to trust yourself, this is a practical conversation about turning self-doubt into self-belief and developing the confidence to move forward—even when you don't feel confident. *Links:* ▪️Get 'The Confidence Habit' and bonus resources: https://www.confidencetools.com ▪️More from Cindra: https://cindrakamphoff.com/ ▪️Follow Cindra on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cindrakamphoff *More from Osher:* 🎙 Better Than Yesterday podcast: https://tinyurl.com/BTYpodcast 📬 Sign up to the Better Than Yesterday newsletter: https://makeitbetterthanyesterday.kit.com/7d9d18dcee 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/osher_gunsberg 📖 Books: https://linktr.ee/osher_gunsberg 📺 Story Club on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@storyclublive 🎟️ Story Club tickets: https://linktr.ee/osher_gunsberg 00:00:00 Mindset in High-Level Athletics 00:03:22 Is Confidence Inherent or Developed? 00:06:01 Defining the 4 Pillars of Confidence 00:07:40 Managing High Pressure in the NFL 00:11:22 Past, Present, and Future Mindsets 00:13:26 The "Learn, Burn, Return" Strategy 00:18:20 Action Precedes Confident Feelings 00:20:44 Alter Egos and Pretending Confidence 00:24:32 Confidence Versus Arrogance 00:26:12 Taming the Inner Critic with Truth 00:31:33 Words that Build or Break Confidence 00:33:48 Process Goals vs. Outcome Goals 00:37:31 Supporting the Confidence of Young Adults 00:42:00 Practical Tools for Everyday Self-Belief #podcast #betterthanyesterday #oshergunsberg #selfimprovement

This video explains how smartphones may shape personality by changing our tolerance for boredom, uncertainty, silence, loneliness, emotional discomfort and the need to be seen. Most discussions about phones focus on screen time, distraction or dopamine. But the deeper psychological question is this: what is the phone training us to avoid? In this video, Dr Sanil Rege explores how smartphones interact with personality development, emotional regulation, attention, boredom tolerance, uncertainty, intimacy, identity and self-worth. Rather than arguing that phones are simply “bad”, this video examines the psychological loop underneath: stimulation, discomfort, avoidance, reward and repetition. The key idea is that personality is not fixed — it is organised through repeated patterns of perception, emotion, prediction, regulation and behaviour. When the phone repeatedly enters the exact moments where the self is meant to practise waiting, wondering, reflecting, mentalising, tolerating uncertainty and sitting with emotional discomfort, it may begin to reshape the thresholds through which personality is expressed. This is especially relevant for children, adolescents and emerging adults aged 18–25, when identity, intimacy, autonomy, emotional regulation, sexuality, ambition, loneliness and self-worth are still developing and consolidating. CHAPTERS 00:00 – Is your phone changing your personality? 02:30 – Personality is not fixed — it is organised 04:20 – The prefrontal cortex, limbic system and emotional regulation 05:04 – What is maturity, and how does the phone influence that? 07:21 – The phone as an emotional regulation device 09:45 – Boredom, the default mode network and self-development 12:20 – The addictive loop: uncertainty, checking and relief 14:02 – Children, development and smartphones 14:56 – Nomophobia and dependence on the phone as a regulator KEY EDUCATIONAL POINTS For general viewers: - Your phone may not create a completely new personality, but it may shape what becomes easier or harder for you to tolerate: boredom, waiting, uncertainty, loneliness, silence and not being seen. For clinicians: -The clinical issue is not only screen exposure or screen time. The deeper formulation question is: what psychological function is the phone serving? Is it regulating boredom, loneliness, shame, anxiety, exclusion, uncertainty, or self-worth? For parents and young adults: -The concern is not simply that phones distract young people. The concern is developmental displacement: what is not being practised because the phone is always available?

David Jones and Dr Naomi Murphy speak with Ffyona Campbell about her memoir ‘In Black and White’, which recounts the abuse  she experienced as a child at the Sisters of Mercy convent boarding school in Midhurst, and the decades-long process of recovering those memories. The conversation explores her efforts to tell her story, find other survivors, and describes the psychological manipulation she says took place at the school. This is a difficult but important discussion about trauma, memory, and the search for justice. Ffyona, known for her walks across Africa and the USA, also reflects on the girls who offered her support, her life after recovering memories, and why speaking out matters to her. https://www.amazon.co.uk/stores/author/B09RG9VKHG https://www.wildfoodwalks.co.uk/ Key topics Ffyona discusses In Black and White, her memoir about being a junior boarder at Midhurst from age eight, and why she wrote it. She describes a memory-recall process that brought back memories of abuse, and the difficulties she says followed when she tried to report it. The conversation focuses on the “black and white” room, which Ffyona says was altered to confuse and condition children before abuse. She recounts how changes to the room, courtyard, curtains, and furniture contributed to what she describes as a deliberate system of psychological manipulation. Ffyona remembers George, an older girl who recognized that the nuns were “messing with our minds,” and whose resistance helped spark rebellion among the girls. She recalls Grania, who gave her a tiny red crayon, as a rare source of kindness and solidarity. Ffyona reflects on a painful incident involving her sister and why she no longer blames herself for it. She discusses why some survivors find the book difficult to read and the challenges she sees in seeking justice without more corroborating testimony. Ffyona says she has medical evidence of injuries she believes are consistent with abuse, and raises questions about the Sisters of Mercy’s financial records and assets. She calls for scrutiny of the Sisters of Mercy and a wider network of religious institutions, and says she hopes survivors will know they are not alone.
