24.01.2022 Tis a week of thank you posts! This one goes to jacko at Redgate Signage Now people can't get lost when looking for clarity Cheers mate, you are a legend

23.01.2022 I want to repeat that you don't have to be crazy to see a counsellor. Sometimes you want someone with specific skills and resources to walk besides you when you are figuring out life.

23.01.2022 Last Friday a friend of mine got her car stolen and burnt. Then in less than 12 hours a very kind family gave her one for free. It's one of those stories where from something bad came something good. We never should stop believing that this is how life works. It takes and gives, back and forth, always.

23.01.2022 No one chose where they would be (physically or emotionally) when this virus hit. So let's be tolerant between each other.

23.01.2022 There are just 9 days left until Christmas and 15 days to New Year’s Eve. Yes, that’s right. No matter what nationality you are or what religion you practice (or don’t practice), there are bound to be pressures at this time of year. Certain family members send stress levels soaring? Maybe you are a people pleaser and find it impossible to say no to invites or requests for help? I won’t even throw Covid into the mix. The thing is, no matter how we feel about it, December comes around every single year. Why not make this year the one that you figure out how to be okay before those triggering situations happenyour future self will thank you. Think of it as the perfect gift to you.

22.01.2022 - "See, dad? There was no danger. - You're right, but I wanted to keep you company." Happy fathers day to all the legends

21.01.2022 Some babies might not be real family, but you surely love them as if they were Feliz cumpleaños Isla!

20.01.2022 Yesterday, out of the blue, two women professionals casually told me that they are researching about relationships, and we had a mini beautiful encounter that made me smile and reminded me that even when you are not looking for it, inspiration will always come. Just like that arvo last week where we all stopped to contemplate the sky

20.01.2022 I'm going to share what a client said about working together so you can have a better idea of how I am as a counsellor. In Argentina we call this 'autobombo' (self promoting). And even though it embarrasses me heaps, I find that people don't give public reviews to therapists as they do with airbnb Because if I promote vulnerability, shouldn't I try it?

20.01.2022 Se puede crecer mucho en poco tiempo, o nada en toda la vida

18.01.2022 Prevention is one of the keys to better mental health.

18.01.2022 Surfing. The more I do it, the more I like it, the more it frustrates me cause I want to get better. I see something similar in relationships, all types of relationships. The more we like/love/get along with someone, the more some things frustrate us because we are more exposed and more vulnerable and our ego gets in the way. We want to evolve, we want to be loved.

17.01.2022 Prevention. This word is coming up a lot for me lately. First a couple of weeks ago in a talk with fellow mental health professionals of the area. I saw how much is done for people that get to an emergency level of issues with their mental health. And that got me to thinking: is there more we could do to avoid those extreme cases? Then yesterday, at a visit to the doctor for a check up, I realized how afraid and anxious we actually get if there is a true possibility of findin...g something slightly wrong. And it took me back to prevention. I see how people struggle to admit or recognize that they need an "emotional check up". Because the ego is afraid of what can come up. So on the surface we might seem fine, but stuff is bubbling underneath. The point of talking it out would be to avoid it getting worse. That's why I insist on the fact that you don't need to feel extremely off to contact a psychotherapist. Sometimes it's just a case of prevention. See more

15.01.2022 Preconceptions. We all have them; as humans they are inevitable and there is nothing wrong with them as long as you are open to them changing! One preconception many new clients have is that as a psychotherapist, I will ask you to sit on a leather couch while I smoke a pipe and look over my glasses at you. I can confirm I have no leather couch, no pipe and I dont wear glasses (yet!). Im just a normal person, like you. Except that I have a degree in human psychology to help you figure out your path towards a full and rewarding life. You dont even need to have a problem, sometimes simply feeling a little unbalanced is enough to know that some help is needed.

14.01.2022 When I was in Uni, many teachers said that students of Psychology studied 50% to help others and 50% to understand themselves. I reckon we all have a little bit of crazy. That's why when you share it you realise you are not alone.

13.01.2022 If you pay attention, there are certain things we do more of when we are happier. Or when we are in what I like to call a happy phase. For me it's cooking. And it seems that this week I'm on a happy phase because I found myself cooking more What's yours?? And do you see any pattern of happy phases? As a woman I can tell you there is surely a monthly one

13.01.2022 For some this is a simple driver's licence. For me it's one more amazing step in this journey of making Australia my new home

13.01.2022 A good friend of mine is teaching yoga, go to her class and enjoy

13.01.2022 Real men talk. Yep, you read that right. Its one of the biggest differences in culture Ive seen here in Australia VS Argentina and a lot of European countries. Im not sure why Aussie blokes missed the memo, but talking about your emotions and feelings is healthy. No matter who you are, it is 100% certain that you have emotions and in order to process the tricky ones you need to share them. I provide a safe and confidential space to talk through any challenging emotions, and with three brothers Im pretty well versed in man talk.

12.01.2022 Happy Easter magies

11.01.2022 This is a thanks post! One day, months ago, I came to the very simple but massive realization that I should do what I came to do in this world, and get help from people that came to this world to do what they are good at. So I hired the amazing Cassandra Charlick and Project Inspo and together they did magic! Between the communication skills of Cass and the beautiful eye for photos of Jinna, they made me look good for you guys! This way I can focus on what I'm good at, which... is being a therapist. I would no doubt recommend both of them and tell you that you will not regret it! Plus, they are amazing powerful women https://www.almendratravaglini.com/

11.01.2022 Just like surfing, you might not be great at it and probably keep falling flat on your face continually, but every time you get out there you got a little bit better. That's like life. Keep showing up and the growth comes, inevitably. So, when in doubt, paddle out

11.01.2022 Us humans always confuse emotions. How many times did you think you were angry, when you were actually embarrassed? That is why it's good to practice checking in with yourself, that way you connect with the truth and not with your ego.

11.01.2022 I'm going to bed filled with love I love the day of my birthday, and even though I'm far from home, I've got all kinds of family here that made and make my life an amazing one

10.01.2022 I haven't felt so much love like I did this weekend. My birthday is coming up and all my friends and family got together to throw me a surprise party. Nothing like knowing all the effort they went through to understand that I'm winning in life and making good choices.

10.01.2022 Imagine the world we would live in if we all woke up and did this https://youtu.be/qR3rK0kZFkg

09.01.2022 Not sure what my life goal is, but I feel like I have reached it when my niece writes about me in school and calls me her HERO!

06.01.2022 When people consider their mental health, its often considered only in the realm of the self, however mental health covers a much broader spectrum beyond the s...elf and extends to our families, our community, and our society as a whole. How does your mental health show up holistically in your life? See more

06.01.2022 In Australia, we are lucky to have an extensive healthcare system. However when it comes to mental health, there is a bit of a problem. Unlike mending a broken bone, healing an emotional wound doesnt have a structured time frame. Sometimes it takes longer than the prescribed ten Medicare appointments. Its not unusual for costs to skyrocket once subsidized treatments have ended, and it can be a difficult situation to be in if you dont have the cash to continue. I believe that we all deserve to look after our mental health, and thats why I offer affordable rates for the long term. We only get one life, so make the most out of it!

06.01.2022 I was talking to a man at the surf today and he was saying that different fins would make my surf much better. But my surf isn't that good because I'm afraid. Of the reef, the big waves, hitting someone, etc... People have all kinds of skills and tools in them that could make them "better", but whats actually stopping them is fear. So even though I understand that better equipment helps, what I have to work on is on the leap

06.01.2022 Listen to your gut. Those words might be bandied about, but they have science behind them. Did you know that your stomach is actually a second brain and the gut-brain connection is real? Here is a great little piece by Harvard Medical School on why we need to stop separating healing the two, and look at the mind as much as the body when it comes to treatment. If you’d like to find more calm and peace in your life, I’d love to help you https://www.health.harvard.edu/dis/the-gut-brain-connection

04.01.2022 I couldn't ask for a more perfect mini me even if I got it to order! Today is the birthday of the one and only Mali. She keeps teaching me about love and being an auntie, and always doing it with style! Kids can be amazing human beings.

04.01.2022 This is a thank you post to the people that actually make my therapist career flow, and those are my clients! You guys are so brave. I love working with the people that come to see me. Each one teaches me something about myself and life. And all of you WANT to do the work. Its a pleasure to work with humans that even though they might not think they know how or the path they should or want to take, they WANT TO TRY. I thought I would share how it feels on the other side. Even though it might sound strange, I want to say that I appreciate everyone that chooses me to help them work in the search for themselves. You give me your trust and I hope I am giving you back what you need We evolve together

03.01.2022 Are you beach ready? Anyone who has embarked on a fitness regime frantically in time for Xmas holidays has likely come across the term Summer bodies are made in Winter. Now, I’m not going to pretend that I’m a fitness coach, but this little motto is pretty relevant to mental health. Rather than waiting until the last minute before you realise you need help, talking about the small stuff before it turns into bigger problems is the best way to care for yourself. I can’t help with an ill-fitting bikini, but I CAN give you the tools and support to ensure that you’ll be living the best possible life.

03.01.2022 Our bodies are pretty darn clever, arent they? When something needs attention, it hurts and we take action. A sore toothtime to call the dentist. That ankle is throbbinggive the physio a buzz. Throat feels like razorbladesoff to the doctor. But what about when its our feelings or emotional state that is hurting? The medical system operates on referrals and waiting lists. By the time you actually get to see a counsellor or psychotherapist its often way past the initial cry for help. Im here to let you know you are not alone, and I keep a number of last minute spaces available weekly so when you need to talk through a problem, you can come in and work through it straight away.

03.01.2022 For some, expressing their feelings can become something tangible. For others it's easier to do it talking. Stocked with my Delmont painting! It feels good to support local artists and the Margaret River Region Open Studios whilst making my home prettier!

02.01.2022 When you miss home and you video call with the baby of a friend and your heart instantly gets filled with love @lucrecia.tomaselli

02.01.2022 Its with great excitement that I share my new website with you today. It gives a little more information on who I am and the services I offer to help you live your best possible life. Please have a look around and Id love to hear from you if my words resonate with you! https://www.almendratravaglini.com

01.01.2022 Talking helps. We might not see how at the beginning, but in the long run it's there.

01.01.2022 The other day I randomly had a conversation with a pastor and we ended up talking about how hurt people, hurt people. So I'll just go ahead and state the not so obvious: when someone hurts us, usually that person is hurt, to which what they did wasn't personal. Not justifying anyone's actions, just offering perspective
