20.01.2022 Ethical porn sounds like a juxtaposition but in fact Erica Lust is a long time advocate for significant changes in the porn industry. Feminist porn is terminology that we may hear more about as Erica challenges the porn industry on their objectification of women. https://podcasts.apple.com//erika-lust-ethica/id942777522

20.01.2022 Something that most Psychs I know agree on. Periods of sustained stress in humans can lead to maladaptive responses, which are for what ever reason, responses in some people to try and cope with severe adversity over prolonged periods of time. Let's not disorder everything and know they are treatable conditions and CBT is a very effective way of treating many conditions, especiallly ANXIETY, we do it everyday.

19.01.2022 Being a parent is hard but imagine how hard it is to be a kid. Kids accept they have little or no control until the teen yrs when they start to demand it. That's ok it's part of the human development, allow them to unfold and reduce resistence by staying firm but fair - it's always the best option for both!

17.01.2022 Defensiveness has no benefit in communication whatsoever. It is a fear based reaction when we perceive we are under attack or being judged or accused of something we haven't done. This is often our perception of the situation and the other person may not be implying it at all. We need calmness to seek clarification. So breathe, wait and respond in a way that helps not harms. No one is responsible for our thoughts or reactions but ourselves. Acceptance of responsibility and not blaming the other person is personal growth we can all work toward achieving in relationships in our lifetime.

16.01.2022 TRIGGER ALERT. This article may contain distressing information. Our Government in Victoria made this law in February 2020 and our country just found it out yesterday. #letusspeak is in reaction to this law. https://www.dailymail.co.uk//Baffling-law-passed-rape-vict

15.01.2022 Great CBT talk on CATASTROPHISING one of our worst cognitive distortions. We believe the worst as we think it will protect us from the future uncomfortable feelings, we think we are preparing, well we are not, in fact catastropising just makes us anxious. We also try and motivate ourselves with fear!! We better do this or else!! Sounds a bit like our parents, yes well unfortunately a lot of parents thought they were motivating their kids by telling them the worst, sadly it d...id the opposite. Ever heard your parent say if you don't study you'll end up on the streets or if you don't sleep you will be cranky tomorrow. Well these are all the FEAR motivators that do exactly the opposite we feel anxious instead. Be kind, be positive, the future is what WE make it and we don't need to be afraid.

12.01.2022 Although he may seem a bit unorthodox to some he says some good truths and has some helpful tips about ghosting and being rejected. Ultimately it isn't about us; but our expectations of another's behaviour is futile and causes us nothing but distress if they don't deliver. Letting go of control of the external world and start by controlling only what we can which is ourselves, is the key to our psychological wellbeing. Graciously accepting people change their mind is helpful to cope with the ghosting and that our pain is present for the growth that is about to occur, it is about building our resilience to life's difficulties.

11.01.2022 Ever noticed how people spend so much time worrying and caring about what people who dont really even know or care about them, think about them? And sadly reject the opinions of those who care the most about them. We cant control what others think of us, nor is it really our business, as it's no ones business what we think of them unless we choose to disclose. Free yourself of worry about others thoughts of you and focus on improving your own thinking about yourself!!! Be authentic always Kelli Harris Psychologist

10.01.2022 Children's behaviour is reinforced by our attention as parents. Be it positive or negative it doesn't matter. But when it's negative attention we are generally very emotionally focused on the child for their "bad" behaviour and at a very high intensity. Unfortunately this serves as the greatest reinforcer. Parenting isn't easy but there are new skills we can all acquire to help ease our stress. Be Authentic always Kelli Harris Psychologist https://childmind.org/art/the-power-of-positive-attention/

10.01.2022 Humans are born insecure and the job of a parent is to help the growing child feel safe and securely attached. Sadly if this doesn't occur then fears of abandonment can surface in adult intimate relationships and end up inflicting pain onto loved ones. Then the individual may end up alone or abandoned, the very fear they held may come true. Jealousy is driven from this fear and can end up as control to our loved ones.

06.01.2022 There is probably more Psychological research done on humans "attachment" than any other topic. It is very important to develop positive, strong and consistent bonds with our babies and kids. However even in adult relationships they require the same needs and attachment styles can change in our lifetime with loving, supportive adult relationships.

04.01.2022 We have all heard the term self-sabotage but what is it really all about? One thing we know is that it's about a deep fear that we hold about ourselves. We just need to analyse our thinking to find out what it is. What is stopping us from having a fulfilling relationship with a partner or even our work?
