Clinical Psychologist Urges Women to Recognise the Signs of a Dysregulated Nervous System

MELBOURNE, Australia, Sept. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Women are becoming increasingly skilled at functioning while struggling, says Clinical Psychologist Dr Jennifer Menon, who is urging women to recognise signs of prolonged stress and trauma before reaching breaking point.

With more than 20 years' clinical experience, Dr Menon of Mind in Mind Psychology says women often continue working, caring for others and managing households while their bodies are struggling, ignoring symptoms and pushing through.

"I was no different. I kept going and sacrificed my needs as I navigated family violence, solo parenting, a near-fatal birth complication, financial hardship and, ultimately, Stage 3 breast cancer. My body told me before my brain did that enough was enough," says Dr Menon.

"When your body detects a level of threat where it feels there is no escape, it can dissociate. I was physically there, but my mind was not. I could function, work and be a parent, but my nervous system wasn't safe enough to process what was happening until I finally left."

After leaving a six-year relationship involving family violence, Dr Menon experienced shaking, insomnia and hyper-reactivity while caring for a traumatised toddler and newborn.

She began using breathing, singing and movement to regulate her nervous system.

"When I wanted to scream, I sang instead. When my body was shaking, I started dance parties in the lounge. I learned to understand and respond to my own nervous system so I could respond to my children."

Dr Menon says nervous system dysregulation should not be viewed as a character flaw or parenting failure.

"It is a physiological response to prolonged threat. Today that threat might be unresolved trauma, financial pressure, parenting a neurodivergent child or simply an endless to-do list. When we are constantly stuck in survival mode, we may not even realise what is happening."

She encourages women to look for "micro-moments of safety" throughout the day, such as taking ten slow breaths, sitting in the sun, laughing with children, calling a friend or prioritising sleep.

"When you're in fight-flight, regulation might mean discharging energy or slowing the system through walking, singing, movement or longer exhales. In shutdown, more stimulation may help, such as music, sunlight, movement or conversation. When you're relatively regulated, connection, laughter, nature, rest and enjoyment can reinforce safety."

Dr Menon is a finalist in the AusMumpreneur Awards.

SHENZHEN, China, Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Baseus introduces a charging ecosystem designed for iPhone Duo, featuring the PicoGo Air AM72 Magnetic Power Bank, AH22 100W Digital Display Fast Charger, and HoopRing Phone Case. Built around the needs of a foldable form factor—from fit and grip to power and thermal comfort—the collection delivers a connected experience that works naturally in both folded and unfolded states.

The centerpiece is the Baseus PicoGo Air AM72 Qi2 Magnetic Power Bank (5K, 25W), designed as a true 1:1 match for iPhone Duo—from its precisely tailored dimensions and camera-safe magnetic layout to its refined finish. AM72 also features an Apple-matched aluminum-alloy body that echoes the phone's premium design language, allowing it to blend naturally with the device rather than look like a separate accessory.

Whether commuting, working between meetings, filming on the move, or using the unfolded display for longer sessions, AM72 keeps power close without disrupting the experience. Its 5,000mAh capacity supports Qi2 15W magnetic wireless charging and up to 25W USB-C wired charging, while a 12N magnetic hold keeps it securely aligned. Besides, AM72 sets itself apart from conventional magnetic power banks with a raised platform design that creates a cooling gap between the power bank and iPhone Duo. Together with Glacier Cooling Structure 2.0 and AI adaptive temperature management, it helps dissipate heat more effectively for a cooler, more comfortable charging experience. Despite this enhanced thermal design, AM72 measures just 7.9mm at its slimmest point, maintaining a card-slim profile that feels natural in hand. PowerSense NFC also gives users easy access to battery health and key cell-status information through the app.

For users who want iPhone Duo to be ready before they leave home, the Baseus AH22 100W Digital Display Fast Charger delivers high-output performance in a compact, travel-friendly design. Intelligent power allocation, smart device recognition, and AI temperature control help make everyday charging efficient and dependable, while the customizable digital display keeps charging status clearly in view.

The Baseus HoopRing Phone Case completes the ecosystem with tailored protection and an integrated 360-degree rotating magnetic stand. Its soft-edged design offers a comfortable grip, while the stand enables flexible hands-free viewing in portrait or landscape—whether iPhone Duo is folded, unfolded, or paired with Baseus magnetic accessories.

Together, AM72, AH22, and the HoopRing phone case turn charging from an interruption into a natural part of the foldable experience. The collection for iPhone Duo will be officially available in November. Stay tuned for more details.
