Up to 75% of diagnosed narcissists are men — but that number might be wrong.

Female narcissists often use shame, victimhood and relational aggression to stay hidden.

Family scapegoat? If you were always “the problem” child — blame, shamed, & told you’re too sensitive for asking for basic needs…this one’s for you.

New article: what scapegoating is, how it affects your nervous system & tips on breaking the cycle.

I’m a Clinical Psychologist, but I’m not immune to crappy days or weeks.

I wrote here about evidence-based ways I pulled myself out of a slump a few days ago.

Ashwagandha google searches have increased 200% in the past 5-6 years.

But does this viral supplement actually improve anxiety and stress…?

It’s Sunday… and that means new Substack article. ✍️

No paywall on this one, being a mother myself - I want free education out there on PND.

I was excited to write this… especially my perspective on the “It takes a village,” paradigm. 👇

@USARelentless Yeah. That is insane. You’d be game to do that as an Australian Psychologist!

Family estrangement & adult children cutting off their parents is seemingly on the rise. Why? Deep-dive here.

[Dr Emma-Leigh Senyard @EmmaSenyard]

@USARelentless Yes, I agree. I’m very careful with my work and everything on my YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, Substack etc. comes with disclaimers. They’re pinned on my profile. In AUS, there is certainly plenty of disciplinary action here.

[Dr Emma-Leigh Senyard @EmmaSenyard]

@USARelentless I agree with all of this. I’m surprised that social media guidelines aren’t including in psychologist code of ethics in the states though? Second, someone who is a ‘therapist’ but not a psychologist, has very different ethics and standards to a psychologist. A counsellor e.g.

[Dr Emma-Leigh Senyard @EmmaSenyard]

@USARelentless Totally concerning. In Australia, we had new standards of practice for psychologists released last year. Social media has its own section. If we don’t adhere to it, we’re in hot water! I’m not sure what the position is in the states… but you would expect that they would!

[Dr Emma-Leigh Senyard @EmmaSenyard]

@USARelentless That’s for sharing. It’s it concerning that there are ‘therapists’ out there making such statements, many of which we’d deem reportable in Australia to AHPRA. There’s two sides to the story, two voices, both deserved to be heard.

Why is saying no so hard?

My latest Substack looks at people-pleasing, childhood conditioning, and why so many of us feel guilt when we try to put ourselves first.

I’ve been combining psychology, science, and creative writing in my work.

I’ve always loved writing, so I started, ‘A Psychologist’s Diary’ on Substack.

Feel free to follow along.
