September 23, 2024 The 3 Causes of ADHD - New Research Revealed
Modern research has given us a really clear picture of what causes ADHD. So what causes ADHD? Is it genetics, bad parents, childhood trauma, or something else entirely? We're also going to answer the questions "is there a cure for ADHD", and "can you develop ADHD later in life". This will be based on both the most up-to date high quality research, as well as my training and work as a psychologist who works with many ADHD clients.

June 01, 2024 What is ADHD Brain Freeze + Solutions & Executive Dysfunction
In this video I'm going to teach you how to break ADHD brain freeze. ADHD brain freeze, is a symptom of the ADHD mind where you stare at a project, really wanting to begin, but you can't because your brain feels stuck. And it's similar to ADHD paralysis.
ADHD Brain Freeze is caused by the Executive Function system in the brain becoming overwhelmed and thus freezing like an overwhelmed computer.
Then that means the solutions need to be about minimizing internal mental strain by making the internal workings of the mind, external, make the mental physical.

April 21, 2024 How to deal with a fear of abandonment & rejection
I'm Dante, a registered psychologist from Australia. In this video I cover the topic of abandonment issues, rejection sensitivity, thoughts of being not good enough, not loveable, self-sabotage in relationships, and fears of always being alone that often stem from childhood trauma. I also cover some solutions to these issues including techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy.
If you have questions let me know and I'll clarify any points :)

June 01, 2023 Therapy that goes beyond just "breathwork"
I wanted to make a quick video discussing the process of actual effective therapy. A complain/comment that I've encountered as a working mental health clinician and one that I encountered again today in a Reddit threat about signs of a bad therapist, was that people have seemingly encountered therapists who do nothing but breathwork or grounding/calming strategies.
While calming strategies clearly have a place, and ensuring that people know about them is helpful, this isn't the bulk of therapy (or at least it shouldn't be). Finding out the reasons that are causing someone's problems (external or internal) and finding resolutions and strategies for those problems should be the collaborative approach of a client and clinician.
If you have any questions, drop a comment and I'll be sure to respond.

June 01, 2023 Why self-help doesn't help (& how to fix it)
Self-help despite being a huge industry seems to be changing nothing, so why is that? I believe there are a couple of main reasons which I detail in this video. I think self-help can be very helpful, but it has to be approached correctly, and most of the time it is not.
