25.01.2022 I really appreciate that medical practitioners, as human beings, hate to feel helpless when faced with the distress of a family or infant, but little babies having their brain chemistry messed with in such a profound and scientifically-unproven way, is indefensible. Parents, please please please never accept such advice from a medical professional - it is a sign that your doctor has run out of answers but is struggling to admit it.

25.01.2022 Just one of the many benefits to being right here, right now, mindfully present...

23.01.2022 As much as we fear death and loss, we often fear the grieving process more. And yet it is grieving that enables us to transform our raw loss into wisdom and peace. This is a lovely little educational article about grief to support anyone who's ever lost anything or anyone to see their grieving for what it is - healthful and vital, even whilst painful and distracting...

23.01.2022 A great article highlighting what is, in reality, such a common experience, whether we're amongst those who grit our teeth and 'play along' with spending time with relatives with whom we feel no sense of connection (emotional estrangement) or those who have cut ties altogether. Food for thought - even if we share DNA or years of history with someone, we're not in a real relationship with them unless they enable us to feel more relaxed/safer with them than apart. Wherever you are, and whatever your circumstances, may you feel peace as 2016 draws to a close.

22.01.2022 A simple article which encapsulates some important concepts about child development, although every one of these are dependent on the parent having already developed the same emotional resilience, insight, body awareness, and mind flexibility that we are trying to give to our children. Yes indeed, trying to raise a child is a massive challenge, getting ready for that is (for some of us) nothing short of a psychological makeover, especially when our own childhoods may have looked nothing like the practices described in this article. But be aware, the fact that we have wonderful plastic brains means that it is never too late to start changing our own habits (or that of our children older than 7) to cultivate a richer, lovelier experience of life!

20.01.2022 Such a brilliant concept, offering the opportunity for uninterrupted sleep to those people who most need it. Without good sleep, we cannot heal, we can't be creative, we can't do something different to what we've always done. Homelessness creates the very elements that keep people homeless - sleepbus offers a chance to break the cycle for those individuals fortunate enough to be able to use it. But to get funding they need to be more visible, and to be more visible they need to get this first bus on the road and caring for our most vulnerable Aussies... I'm very proud to be a supporter of this wonderful initiative! Jacqui.

20.01.2022 My wish for everyone...

19.01.2022 This is a beautiful tribute to the power of pain. When we allow ourselves the opportunity to notice that we are in pain but, instead of just trying to feel better, choose the harder path of opening up to the pain, paying attention to it, deeply listening to it. And when we do that long enough and with the faith that our pain is not there for no reason, it always becomes transformed into wisdom.

17.01.2022 May 2018 bring us all the courage to embrace all of what the year brings to us, the wisdom to learn from everything we experience, and the presence not to miss one second of the ride. And may we all have love and wonder, along with friends and family, along the way

14.01.2022 Nikki Thampy (intern psychologist and EA/receptionist) left this bundle of care and support for me after a tough day - no wonder she's such a valuable member of the JMAPC team!

13.01.2022 Sometimes we just need to make room for whatever it is that we're feeling, gently knowing that, whatever it is, it is right...

13.01.2022 As usual, Steve Hayes gets it so right here - there's no point to blaming others (or ourselves) for intolerance. We have to understand why it is part of our common neurological wiring, and to recognise that the true way forward is for each of us to cultivate our own willingness to feel the full experience of being human: joy, pain, sadness, happiness, disappointment, anger, satisfaction, boredom, fulfillment etc. It's when we edit our own humanity that we edit our capacity to be part of the human race...

11.01.2022 One of my wonderful clients sent me the link to this article which captures beautifully the challenge which all of us face when we want to recover from trauma - a lot of the time our cognitive 'smart' minds get in the way of the actual process of healing. A great read!

06.01.2022 As the principal psychologist and founder of JMA Psychology Canberra, I have had twenty-five years of wonderful opportunities to learn from all of my clients who have shared their lives, their sorrows, their experiences, and their insights with me over the last quarter of a century. Having had many of my clients over the years tell me that they find my insights and knowledge useful, helpful, or at the very least mildly entertaining, I have started this Facebook page through w...hich to share some of the accumulated wisdom of our practice with the Facebook community. Of course, it's also a way of getting the word out there to individuals, couples, families, and workplaces within the Canberra region and surrounding areas of New South Wales, that we're here and ready to welcome you with whatever support we can provide. Please let us know if you 'Like' us and if there's anything that you'd like to share. See more

01.01.2022 Without mentioning the word 'acceptance', this article neatly summarizes our dilemma when it comes to pain (or stress or adversity, etc.) - is pain just something to be avoided (what our basic instincts tell us) or does pain have a fundamental purpose which can't be achieved otherwise? Once we come to realize that it's the latter, then our life opens up to dramatic new possibilities...
