24.01.2022 Client Testimonial "Therapy sessions with Bronwyn were times I really looked forward to. Which for me was a strange feeling because in the past I dreaded appointments with therapists. This is a great testament not only to the Gestalt Practice but also to Bronwyn. I couldn't have been matched with a more caring and soft soul. I have endless gratitude for the patience and for the consideration of my situation so that Gestalt Therapy was available to me. "

21.01.2022 Shame Avoidant Behaviour Shame is more than a fear of being judged negatively. It can also be the behaviours that we desperately adopt in order to avoid the fear of judgement.... If I am perfect, and never get anything wrong, nobody can criticise me. If I am angry and full of rage I will keep others at a distance and protect myself. If I am critical and blaming of others I will reduce my own fear of being criticised. But these behaviours disrupt our lives, our goals, our health and stop us from being in true relationship with others. The hope is that with awareness, in an environment of positive regard and support we can begin to develop a strong sense of self with the hope to banish the fear and the need for these defences.

11.01.2022 Accepting ourselves ‘Inside Out’ My interpretation of Inside out the movie. I recently went to see Disney Pixar’s new animated movie, ‘Inside out’ and while naturally it’s a fun view of what might be happening inside of us emotionally, I was intrigued by how it represented some of the things I talk and write about in relation to what impacts us as we work toward emotional stability. I certainly don’t intend to give the plot away or spoil anyone else’s experience. If you ha...ve seen it you may be interested to read my spin on it. If you haven’t seen it yet then I wouldn’t want to taint your own interpretation so don’t read on if you intend to see this soon. Firstly I loved how islands were used to represent what I would call parts of self. Aspects of our personality or character stood as individual islands linked to our feelings, memory etc. For the main character these were; family, friendship, hockey, honesty and goofball. It seemed to me that these were the valued and accepted parts of her that proved to be precious and worth holding on to when they came under threat. I got a lot from the way these aspects of her life were represented and I actually gasped at the points where these treasured values were in jeopardy. The other noticing I had related to resilience. No matter how dark things are and how much the emotional landscape around us has been annihilated, we can rebuild. We can draw on our solid foundations. We can create new supports, new values, new strengths and new memories. Emotionally we can overcome change and adversity. However the big message I got from this film was that no matter how much support we have, and the presence of joy in our lives, there are times when sadness touches and taints everything we do. When we try to supress sadness we can cause internal conflict and major imbalance. I believe the movie shows that sadness does have a place, it has a job and if we allow it to do its job, give it a voice and we have a safe place to express it, sadness can help us move on.

10.01.2022 Perfectionism Perfectionism is not just the need to get things right. It’s the worry, anxiety, panic and fear.... The controlling, avoiding, manipulating and deflecting. The rethinking, reworking, rewriting and rehashing. It’s the absolute terror and shame that you are NOT GOOD ENOUGH. Bronwyn Keating http://bronwynkeating.com/

07.01.2022 The message seems simple but for anyone challenged by fear, doubt, anxiety, shame or perfectionism, beginning is a risk worth acknowledging.
