An even cooler fact about cortisol. High cortisol typically suppresses most major hormones. But there's one interesting exception: Oxytocin - which helps bonding. This may explain why we bond closely when we've been with each other in difficult times, like soldiers in war! 😲

It's been a fantastic first part of the year at Psyke, we've been talking with you guys about Creativity, Cortisol, Dreams, Panic and Happiness in places all over the country, from Copenhagen in Regents Park to my first time in Manchester! 🔥 I'm so excited for the year ahead!

Ever found you can't stop thinking about rumination? Me too! But seriously, we're going to explore this fascinating topic over four weeks as part of an upcoming course with Seed Talks. Grab your ticket and let's learn to master the mind together :) 🙂

Heard of Neurotechnology? At Psyke we love the mind and brain, and we're excited about the way that Brain Computer Interfaces can enhance mental health. This conference by our friends at Maudsley Neurotechnology is going to be a great exploration of this frontier science.

Rumination? No not when cows chew grass. Although that's totally a thing. It's that stuck merry-go-round of our own thoughts, and it can be helped. Check out our four week course with Seed to help to turn the vicious spiral into a virtuous spiral-staircase outta there.

We've been invited to the glamorous Century Club 💃 in London this Summer to explore some of the brain basis for humankind's less savoury behaviours, like aggression and antisocial behaviour. 😳 If you're a member or interested in becoming one do get in touch with them!

Back by popular demand, I wanted to reintroduce one of our favourite team-mates here at Psyke, the fantastic RIJUL. 🙌 He's our Coaching lead, as well as a Member of the Royal College of Psychiatrists and a certified Neuroscience Nut. 🔥

We Eat, and therefore We Are. At Psyke, we are increasingly curious about the strong link between what we eat, and our mental wellbeing. More to come from us on this? Perhaps! #foodforthought #neuroscience #psychology #wellness #nutrition

Did you know? Humour is widely considered to be a "mature" defence against psychological stress. Through Psyke's coaching programme, we help you hone your mature defences and bolster your mind's armoury. Let's strive to thrive! psyke.info 🧠🦋

Is laughter truly the best medicine? Though not a panacea for every mental health issue, scientific research suggests laughter therapy is an effective way to improve anxiety and stress, mood and sleep!⁠ ⁠ onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.111…

Hey, it's the Psyke team here. We want to get you to take a quick break from your feed and remember: you are good enough, strong enough and capable enough to handle anything life has for you. You got this! #midweekmotivation #affirmations #positivepsychology #mentalwellbeing

Dopamine's function is not as simple as reward and pleasure! Dopamine is, in fact, central for how we attribute "salience," i.e. relevance, to events. Surges in dopamine are observed following positive AND negative experiences, helping us lay down a marker for future reference.

Research shows that a consistent wake time helps regulate circadian rhythms, improving mood, reducing stress, and enhancing cognitive function. It leads to better sleep quality, more stable emotions, and improved mental health overall. #MentalHealth #SleepScience #CircadianRhythm

Try as we might to escape, when it comes to behaviour, we are often steered by our biases and wants above our capability to reason. Rather than fight or negate this, the application of psychological theory in marketing begins with understanding the reality and harnessing it.

Research has consistently shown that we live longer, healthier lives when we connect to the communities around us. The Psyke team hope the Easter break has allowed you to strengthen the connections to those that mean the most to you 🧠🦋

Research supports the development of healthy lifestyle choices as a way to reduce the risk of age-related diseases like Alzheimer's. Healthy choices in what we eat, how much we move, and how we live really do pay off... 🧠 🦋
