Suffering is universal and it can be helpful to connect with people who can empathise. - Gottman Institute #womenscounselling #comingalongside #empower #therapist #counselling #onlinecounselling #womensupportingwomen #mentalhealth #westernsydney #overwhelm #gottmaninstitute #empathy #covid19 See more

19.01.2022 When making important decisions take a moment to stop and think about it.

18.01.2022 If you want to create an atmosphere for open communication, a starting point is: Choose the right time especially when it’s about things that are important this can limit potential distractions Use I statements rather than you or we Avoid global statements such as always or never... If unsure about what is being said ask for clarification rather than jumping to conclusions Stay present rather than withdrawing in silence or stomping out in anger. If you are unable to stay present, ask to revisit the conversation at another time just be sure to do so Keep in check of your non-verbal communication such as facial expressions and body language Listen to understand rather than listening to reply https://carmendebono.com.au/communication/ #womenscounselling #comingalongside #empower #therapist #counselling #onlinecounselling #womensupportingwomen #mentalhealth #westernsydney #podcast #wellbeing #areuok #communicationtips

14.01.2022 If you’re going through a tough time, it can be tempting to use drugs and alcohol as a coping strategy. However, these are addictive substances that can cause symptoms of depression and/or anxiety or make an existing problem worse, while making recovery much harder. Some people with depression and/or anxiety can also develop problems with drugs and alcohol, which may also need treatment. Changing drug and alcohol habits can take time, but with support and perseverance you will notice positive changes in your mental and physical wellbeing. https://www.beyondblue.org.au//drugs-alcohol-and-mental-he #womenscounselling #comingalongside #empower #therapist #counselling #onlinecounselling #womensupportingwomen #mentalhealth #westernsydney #beyondblue #addiction

12.01.2022 Research backs that up, with a 2017 study finding that social connectedness and mental health are not only inextricably linked, it tends to be connectedness that promotes good mental health rather than the other way around. https://www.beyondblue.org.au//why-feeling-connected-makes #womenscounselling #comingalongside #empower #therapist #counselling #onlinecounselling #womensupportingwomen #mentalhealth #westernsydney #connect #family #friends

10.01.2022 Boundaries usually align with our values, family of origin or experiences. The lack of boundaries can leave us feeling like doormats while having boundaries that let no one in can leave us feeling isolated. So, what is the sweet spot?

07.01.2022 NEW! Episode: #22 Family Families come in all shapes and sizes. Our definition of family may even go beyond being blood related.

03.01.2022 During times of stress, overwhelm, and upheaval, it can be difficult to find joy or humor in much at all. But it’s not a betrayal to yourself or the severity of the moment to still find things funny. What makes you laugh? When was the last time you really laughed out loud? Was it a podcast you enjoy, a movie that tickled you, or maybe even a really funny video or meme? Is there a way you can share that joy and laughter with your partner or friend?... This week, or just today, seek out things that make you laugh. - The Gottman Institute #womenscounselling #comingalongside #empower #therapist #counselling #onlinecounselling #womensupportingwomen #mentalhealth #westernsydney #podcast #wellbeing #mentalhealthmonth #laughter #thegottmaninstitute

02.01.2022 Why I do what I do. Becoming a counsellor is something that I decided to pursue after I faced my own set of challenges and I wanted to give back what I had received when I needed it the most. #womenscounselling #comingalongside #empower #therapist #counselling #onlinecounselling #womensupportingwomen #mentalhealth #westernsydney #encourageothers #personaldevelopment
