25.01.2022 Suffer from anxiety and panic attacks. Have a read of Bev Aisbett's post.

24.01.2022 Our negative life situations are essential elements for us to fulfill our intended destiny. However, unless we possess the power of endurance to live through the dark of the night, we will not see the glory of daybreak. Chin-Ning Chu, Thick Face, Black Heart: The Asian Path to Thriving, Winning & Succeeding

23.01.2022 Interesting reading. The feeling of connection, knowing we matter helps us feel safe.

23.01.2022 Hi everyone In this very difficult time that we find ourselves in, our mental health is something we need to take care of, so if you are struggling, know I am here and am able to offer you support. As I work for myself by myself, I am able to offer face to face appointments. (with hygiene practices being strictly adhered to).... However, many people are choosing to take up the option of telehealth or phone appointments instead. All telehealth and phone appointments are being bulk billed (no cost to you). You just need to get a Mental Health Plan from your GP. Hope this is helpful.

23.01.2022 Maybe this might help if you have anxiety. Give it a try

22.01.2022 There you go. Enjoy your 'cocktail'! :)

22.01.2022 Further to my previous post, this one thanks to Nadine X

21.01.2022 Want to know what can make you feel better? It is not difficult but it is something we often can forget, especially if we are struggling. Here it is. It is not always about you. That is right. It is not always about you. We cannot be responsible for peoples behaviour. What a relief. It is difficult enough to manage our own behaviour at times.... My experience often informs me that what people do is often about them not you. As much as it can feel selfish, it really is important to focus on yourself and work on improving you but not in an arrogant, irresponsible way but in a caring, being kind to yourself way. See more

19.01.2022 Suffer from anxiety and panic attacks. Have a read of Bev Aisbetts post.

19.01.2022 Last 2 days spent attending training on trauma with Dr Bessel van der Kolk from Boston USA. He wrote the very interesting book The body keeps the score. Worth getting up at 4.30am each day to catch train to attend this.

18.01.2022 In the song Hallelujah, Leonard Cohen writes, Love is not a victory march, its a cold and its a broken hallelujah. Love is a powerful form of vulnerabilit...y and if you replace the word love with vulnerability in that line, its just as true. Vulnerability is not a victory march, its a cold and its a broken hallelujah. When were brave with our hearts when we have the courage to love and hope, to try, fail, and try again - the result of our daring isnt a victory march as much as it is a quiet sense of liberation mixed with a little battle fatigue. If youre out there being brave with your heart, your words, your beliefs, your art, or any messy part of you I say, Hallelujah! Peace be with you, friends.

18.01.2022 Mindfulness means paying attention in a particular way; On purpose, in the present moment, and non-judgementally. Jon Kabat-Zinn (Professor of Medicine Emeritus Stress Reduction Clinic and the Centre for Mindfulness in Medicine).

17.01.2022 If there is one thing that makes a massive difference to your life, it is who you hang with. Ensure the people in your life lift you up and not bring you down. Always ask does this person make me a better person? If not, then rethink whether you should continue with the relationship. Find your tribe that love you, believe in you and support you. Find your Safe People. :)

17.01.2022 The wounds of our past can affect our present. Important to have self compassion and heal as much as possible for our present and future.

16.01.2022 Christmas message from Gippsland Counselling Services Pty Ltd.

16.01.2022 Christmas can be a tough time for people, so here are some numbers that might be helpful over that time. Sadly for some it is not just Christmas time, it is a lot of the time and Christmas time intensifies those feelings of aloneness. Seeing families and friends together when some people do not have any can be really tough. It can be a time of remembering happy days that are now gone. Reaching out can be one of the hardest things to do but there is help out there.

15.01.2022 This. Hits. Hard. The inability to receive support from others is a trauma response. Your I don’t need anyone, I’ll just do it all myself conditioning i...s a survival tactic. And you needed it to shield your heart from abuse, neglect, betrayal, and disappointment from those who could not or would not be there for you. From the parent who was absent and abandoned you by choice or the parent who was never home from working three jobs to feed and house you. From the lovers who offered sexual intimacy but never offered a safe haven that honored your heart. From the friendships and family who ALWAYS took more than they ever gave. From all the situations when someone told you we’re in this together or I got you then abandoned you, leaving you to pick up the pieces when shit got real, leaving you to handle your part and their part, too. From all the lies and all the betrayals. You learned along the way that you just couldn’t really trust people. Or that you could trust people, but only up to a certain point. Extreme-independence IS. A. TRUST. ISSUE. You learnt: if I don’t put myself in a situation where I rely on someone, I won’t have to be disappointed when they don’t show up for me, or when they drop the ball... because they will ALWAYS drop the ball EVENTUALLY right? You may even have been intentionally taught this protection strategy by generations of hurt ancestors who came before you. Extreme-independence is a preemptive strike against heartbreak. So, you don’t trust anyone. And you don’t trust yourself, either, to choose people. To trust is to hope, to trust is to be vulnerable. Never again, you vow. But no matter how you dress it up and display it proudly to make it seem like this level of independence is what you always wanted to be, in truth it’s your wounded, scarred, broken heart behind a protective brick wall. Impenetrable. Nothing gets in. No hurt gets in. But no love gets in either. Fortresses and armor are for those in battle, or who believe the battle is coming. It’s a trauma response. The good news is trauma that is acknowledged is trauma that can be healed. You are worthy of having support. You are worthy of having true partnership. You are worthy of love. You are worthy of having your heart held. You are worthy to be adored. You are worthy to be cherished. You are worthy to have someone say, You rest. I got this. And actually deliver on that promise. You are worthy to receive. You are worthy to receive. You are worthy. You don’t have to earn it. You don’t have to prove it. You don’t have to bargain for it. You don’t have to beg for it. You are worthy. Worthy. Simply because you exist. -Jamila White, @inspiredjamila

09.01.2022 If you feeling overwhelmed and needing some support, there is support for you....

09.01.2022 Hi everyone, I would like to introduce you to my new business, Gippsland Counselling Services. For those of you that know me, you know that I have had many life and professional experiences, including working in the area of Mental Health. I have always worked in areas where I help people. I have done this through various careers such as Primary School Teaching, Policewoman, Beauty Therapist and more recently as a Clinical Social Worker. I am now going to draw on all these experiences including my extensive training to offer counselling and coaching to adults in the area of mental health, self esteem and self confidence. This will include but not be limited to working with adults who are suffering from depression, anxiety, personality disorders, PTSD and non directive pregnancy support counselling.

08.01.2022 Grief is such a challenge. Maybe there is something in this that will help

08.01.2022 There you go. Enjoy your cocktail! :)

08.01.2022 Self esteem feeling a little fragile? Lets face it there are plenty that will sadly only see what you dont do for them instead of what you do do for them. Therefore, be what you want from others. Say good things to yourself. We all make mistakes but that does not mean we are bad people it means we are human.

08.01.2022 Anxiety, fear and the link to lowered immunity. Very interesting. Worth reading and making a note to self. :)

08.01.2022 The lyrics to this are so powerful. Love it. Often we do not know what to say or do to help but just knowing people are there and caring can help us through difficult times.

07.01.2022 This is important and helpful Worth reading

07.01.2022 Being on your phone when with others (unless urgent) is a way of saying to those you are with you are not important Put the phone away. Plenty of time to use it when on your own.

05.01.2022 Todays tip on improving your self esteem. Dont compare. There will always be people who are better off and worse off than you. It is unrealistic to think you can be liked by everybody. Embrace who you are, always striving to be the best version of you that you can be

03.01.2022 The more I read about depression, the more I hear that the answer to this is connection. The irony of this is that more than ever today we are easily connected but we are so much more disconnected. When with others put your phone away. The message in this short video is important.
