Understanding attachment trauma can help explain patterns like fear of abandonment, emotional withdrawal, relationship anxiety, and difficulty trusting others. In this video, Sanctree Psychology explores attachment theory, nervous system responses, and how early relationships shape adult emotional experiences.
ADHD and autism are often misunderstood — especially in adults and those who have spent years masking their experiences. In this video, Sanctree Psychology explores the evidence-based psychology behind ADHD and autism, including nervous system regulation, masking, emotional wellbeing, executive functioning, and neurodiversity.
A brief overview of Person Centred Therapy, provided by Sanctree Psychology
Ever wondered why anxiety makes normal situations feel dangerous… or why depression can make even simple things feel exhausting? The answer isn’t weakness, laziness, or “overthinking.” Psychology and neuroscience suggest something deeper: anxiety and depression are patterns involving the brain, nervous system, and body that can become dysregulated. In this video, we explore the psychology and neuroscience behind anxiety and depression — from the brain’s overactive threat system and physical symptoms to the emotional feedback loops that drain motivation, and how evidence-based approaches like CBT can help retrain the mind.
This video explores Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy for adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse, drawing on original doctoral research conducted in 2020–2021 by the founder of Sanctree within the NHS Talking Therapies programme.
The research followed six young adult women aged 18–25 through EMDR treatment, examining changes in trauma symptoms, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, memory, attention, and quality of life — alongside participants’ own accounts of their experience. This research directly informs how we work at Sanctree, where treatment is shaped around the individual, grounded in evidence, and delivered with compassion.
