22.01.2022 My thoughts go out go the 1 in 5 people in Australia who are victims of child sexual abuse who cant turn the TV on or open their social media accounts at the moment without being potentially triggered by the content of the conversations occurring at the moment. If I feel distressed by some of the things being discussed I cant imagine how distressing it must be for them.

10.01.2022 This week I attended an amazing presentation on Equine Assisted Psychotherapy for Complex Trauma. I learned a lot, but one thing that absolutely amazed me and helped me understand why work with Horses can be so powerful is... Due to their size, the electromagnetic field produced by a horses heart means that when humans come near them and come within this field they can be influenced by the horse, meaning that their heart rate and breathing will sync in with the horses, allow...ing them to regulate their emotions and nervous system, something which often very difficult for those who have experienced complex trauma. AMAZING! For those with a sciency mind, heres a little snippit I found which explains the connection humans can make with horses "McCraty (2004) and Mistral (2007) discovered that in the presence of a horse, a human makes a stronger connection to the right side of his or her brain when bonding with the animal, primarily in a subconscious manner. Like horses, humans have a certain electromagnetic influence in relation to their environment in the sense that a positive feedback cycle exists between the two. This phenomenon happens at a subconscious level through the right side of the brain..."

The experiential process provides an incredibly valuable learning experience about myself and also what its like to be in the clients shoes engaging in art therapy interventions.

04.01.2022 As the dust settles from RUOK Day, chances are there are a lot of you out there who aren’t feeling ok. Maybe someone asked you if you were OK, but you didn’t feel safe enough to tell them that you’re really NOT OK. Or maybe no one asked you if you were OK when you really needed them to. Or maybe RU OK Day is too confronting and you felt the need to stay home.... If you aren’t OK, help is available. Bluest Skies Counselling is available right now to listen if you’re not doing so well at the moment. Please get in touch through Facebook, Instagram, email, website or phone and we can have a chat about how Bluest Skies Counselling can help you or someone you know who isn’t doing OK at the moment. #helpisavailable #itsOKtobenotOK #mentalhealthawareness #traumainformedcounselling #supportisavailable #kidsteensandadults #imnotok #RUOK #starttheconversation #lookafteryourself #seekhelp #selfcare

01.01.2022 "Psychotherapy is not a technique to be learnt and universally applied but is an exploring of human subjective history and experience. It cannot be ‘forced to happen’ and certainly cannot be guaranteed in the form of an ‘offer.’’ (Leader, 2008).
