24.01.2022 How a Parent’s Affection Shapes a Child’s Happiness for Life Research over the past decade highlights the link between affection in childhood and health and happiness in the future.l https://www.mother.ly//how-a-parents-affection-shapes-a-ch

23.01.2022 No matter what happens in your life, you can always start over.

23.01.2022 We’re often told that we need to get over old resentments. We’re told we need to let go of things that happened in the past. We’re told we need to forgiv...e bullies and other aggressors who made our lives difficult once upon a time. People say that as if it’s only our lack of willingness that’s holding us back from moving forward. I can assure you: most people who had rough childhoods would love nothing more than to let go and move on with their lives. They’re not hanging on to old resentments because it’s fun. They hang on because it takes a specific skillset in order to let go. If we’re going to let go of the past, we need to know how to handle it when old thoughts, feelings, and sensations crop up in our present day lives. Being bullied as a kid is traumatic. That might sound like an overstatement, but it’s not. Kids’ brains and self-concepts are still being shaped when they’re growing up. The constant experience of mockery or rejection harms that development. Overcoming trauma is a matter of skill, not a matter of will. We CAN learn to refocus, to change our self-talk, to use our capacity for visualization and scripting to redirect our thoughts and feelings. We can move past old resentments that arose with being bullied. But first we have to admit that we need to develop certain skills that it’s not just a matter of choosing to let go.

21.01.2022 With the current state of affairs regarding COVID-19, Feel Better Psychology will no longer be offering face to face consultations at the usual place of business at this time. Consultations will continue by way of video or phone consultation. Our national bodies and the government are working hard to allow consultations to be deliverable through these new modes without disruption to your ability to receive support or impacting on you financially. This is a very rapidly chang...ing situation. I will provide an update when we all know more. In the meantime, let’s all work together to minimise the spread. There is no doubt that COVID-19 is really challenging the whole of our community, and Australia in the normal ways we do things. It really is up to us all as individuals; no government can do it for us. So do your part! Keep your distance socially, don’t go out if you are sick and let’s make sure we all practice super hand hygiene and infection control! Most of all, look after yourself and each other during these unprecedented and challenging times. Even though things are changing there will always be support services available.

20.01.2022 One of the most important things in helping children with the COVID-19 crisis is how we as parents talk about it to them, and also how we talk about it to each other when our children are in earshot. Yes, we need to be honest in age appropriate ways. But, your language is powerful. The words you use are powerful. And the perspective you give them is powerful.

19.01.2022 So happy. Excellent news!!

11.01.2022 COVID-19 is making some Australians feel anxious and worried. Several organisations are available 24/7 that can provide mental health support.

07.01.2022 If you find yourself repeating patterns in your relationships- this

06.01.2022 By far one of my favorite Burning Man art pieces: this is what happens when our trauma, our shame, our fear, and our pride keep us apart from those we love, while the inner child in all of us desperately reaches out for connection in utter futility.

05.01.2022 This . Is so common. Very often we assume someone ‘should know’ how we feel, what we need, what we want. And very often, people don’t. Not because they are bad or don’t care, simply because we are all different and people can’t read minds! Also, very often, we think we’ve expressed ourselves, but it’s not done clearly so the message hasn’t been received. ... Clear Communication is crucial for healthy and happy relationships. How well do you express what you need in a really clear way?

05.01.2022 Do you have a child that is anxious about COVID-19? Are you a parent who’s not sure what to say to your child? This is a great little animation for you to watch with your kids. ... Please do share so others can have access to this information at this difficult time. www.calmkidcentral.com/covid-19

04.01.2022 Children’s anxiety may seem irrational or exaggerated, but it's very real to them. Trying to reason their worries away may not work. Try this instead.

04.01.2022 The fulfillment trap is deeply embedded into our conditioning. When I practiced therapy, I saw this all the time. I’ll be happy when... Anytime we seek someth...ing external to create inner fulfillment, it’s always fleeting. Then, there’s emptiness. We seek everything we can. The next job, the next relationship, the new home. We want to have it all, and we’ll rearrange our life over and over again in hopes this is ‘it.’ Then we drown in confusion and disappointment. As children, no one teaches us about fulfillment. What is talked about is doing. Achieving. Accomplish. This is supposed to make us happy. The problem is, nothing outside of ourselves can change what’s within us. Fulfillment is a practice. It’s something that we choose. It flows. It’s a journey that we take to find out who we actually are. What makes us feel light? What’s our true passion? Who do we feel good around? This is our work to unravel. Where do you start? It’s simple, but it’s difficult. 5 minutes of reflection every day. Meditation, journaling, or just sitting in nature. Fulfillment finds us when we ask to meet our authentic self. As we unlearn and release what doesn’t serve us, we find what does. What are you finding? #selfhealers
