25.01.2022 #Croydon counselling I find it sad that repeated surveys show that Asian and minority ethnic people use talking therapies less than white indigenous people and other surveys show that older people use talking therapies less than younger people. Depression has been shown to be higher in older community members, and surveys have shown that the least likely community group to seek support through talking therapies are older BME people.

For all children who have died through domestic violence Can we put this in the spotlight going forward Re- post #BenchChat #ChangeTheEnding #KidsLivesMatter

24.01.2022 #Croydon counselling Our language and the words we use can shape how we respond. Using should or have to implies an obligation or a duty, even a right or wrong way and can create an expectation or command for performance. Using could instead of should creates possibilities and choice.

22.01.2022 #Croydon Counselling Our clients experience of the world may be very different to our own. White counsellors who are effective seem to learn two attitudes, the first is the realisation and ownership of the fact that they think white. For men trying to deal with womens rage, it might be helpful for the man to recognise that they think male. Privilege is the water we swim in when we have structural power and so we are often unaware of its presence in our lives. We cant assume that a client whose social position is different our own lives in the same world that we do or that we are familiar with their world.

21.01.2022 #Croydon counselling It's a mistake to see swagger as an expression of power or prevarication as strength. Rather than power over others, genuine power is the cultivation of vulnerability-the ability to sustain the intensity of the world, it's beauty and it's pain without falling apart or resorting to conceit. True power is the power to be affected.

20.01.2022 Wholeness includes embracing brokenness or our shadow side as part of our true self. It is not weakness but courage to name and claim our shadow. Parker Palmer READ MORE: https://www.alifeinprogress.ca/your-mental-health-matters/

19.01.2022 #Australia on line counselling The aftermath of a significant loss can feel painful and never ending. And yet it does get easier, and with the reappraisal of priorities and circumstances often associated with loss, and with the stirrings of acceptance and adjustment that the passage of time can bring, we can find ourselves looking very positively and actively ahead. And these reflections are relevant now as we live through these different times and begin to think about coming out of lockdown

19.01.2022 #Caloundra counselling In Rachel Lee Harris's book, 'Contemplative Therapy for clients on the Autism Spectrum', she talks about some of the areas of egoism for people on the spectrum are that instead of wanting to go out and conquer the world, the tendency is to feel threatened y the world, rather than having a sense of unlimited freedom, there can be a sense of stifling imprisonment, instead of a reckless sense of adventure there is a crippling perfectionism. For other , rather than having the tendency to take, there is the inclination to give at the cost of their own self worth. and for others instead of seeing oneself as the centre of a universe to which others should come, one is constrained by a straight jacket of self consciousness in which they cannot even bear being noticed.



18.01.2022 #caloundra counselling Many clients spend time reflecting on their childhood as part of their process. For child victims of abuse the child is marinated in deception and left with a deep abiding sense of shame, feeling when something happens, they are automatically at fault. Counselling helps to shine a light on what happened and realise they were not responsible and, like all children deserved protection and nurturing

18.01.2022 #Counselling Australia With our wider understanding of Autism Spectrum many people who have felt different and isolated all their lives are now discovering they are non identified autistic. As they grow to understand themselves through a new lens, different as opposed to wrong or weird, many share they are learning to understand and manage their anxiety and stress better. Instead of trying to learn the 'rules' of life around them which don't make sense, it's possible to embrace who they and not hide their true selves. Wednesday 8th March 2020, 'You Can't Ask That' on Autism on the ABC was a valuable platform. Recommended watching

18.01.2022 Courage is rarely about making the really big leap, its more often showing up in your life, taking the tiny step every day, that gets you to where you desire to go. You are brave, when life is difficult, you do the hard thing, and show up tomorrow to begin again.

17.01.2022 #Croydon counselling Older African/Caribbean people are recognised as having less access to counselling and when asked they shared that they take their problems to God. They felt that after surviving years of racism and prejudice, they were more than able to deal with their mental health issues. When explored it was found that, irrespective of ethnicity, participants did recognise depressive symptoms however the African/Caribbean participants felt the cause of their depressi...on was not having a strong enough faith in God or lack of contact with their community. Through conversations with member of the BME community they disclosed that asking questions was just not done, You just don't talk about your business to people. The person who talks to much, You don't trust her. One person described being taught to keep her problems to herself or to talk to God about them. See more

16.01.2022 #Croydon counselling It's not unusual when feeling down or depressed to fight against the feelings. The dominant medical model when applied to mental health would have us treat depression as we would a virus, something to be got rid of. We talk about 'beating the blues or 'overcoming troubles' and 'defeating depression.' Shame, inadequacy, pain, guilt, sadness and depression can feel like attacks. If we allow for curiosity instead, we may find there are parts of ourselves trying to communicate and our own failure to listen has led to the feelings overwhelming us. People are not robots, we need time to stop and heal. Time for introspection and reflection and maybe time for change. Counselling can help at these times to explore a different way of living

15.01.2022 This is a great course wanting to understand and support people of any age on the spectrum

13.01.2022 In times like these it's more important than ever to take care of yourself! What do you do to take care of yourself?

10.01.2022 #counselling Caloundra Understanding mental distress and emotional suffering as a response to what has happened in people's lives, relationships and social environments brings new insights and allows for acceptance. When people expect miracle cures through medication or genetic therapy instead it can keep people stuck. If we buy into the idea that depression is a medical illness we limit our expectations and a healthier response is to spend time reflecting on and understanding what has brought us to where we are

10.01.2022 #Croydon counselling Prejudice is alive and well no matter how subtle it may be. Black people I've worked with have told me that in their experience there are 2 worlds, one in which white people live and another for people who are non-white. They have also shared that success awaits those who can conquer the criticism, rejection, adversity and pain. A racist legacy left through white privilege

10.01.2022 This is a great way to think on a Sunday. I'm always putting pressure on myself to get everything done at once. Today I'm going to slow down and allow the day to unfold.

10.01.2022 #Croydon counselling Trauma is about fear in its most primal form, the fear of total helplessness, knowing that no-one can save you or protect you. Your physical and psychological integrity are breached and the world that you took for granted, the structure that underlies reality, is shattered. It doesnt look the same anymore. It no longer feels safe. Many traumatic events like rape or sudden death leave these invisible scars and counselling can support people to process and rebuild in a safe place

09.01.2022 #Australia counselling Therapy helps people acknowledge, experience and bear the reality of life. The greatest sources of our suffering are the lies we tell ourselves. Allow yourself to feel what you are feeling without judging right or wrong, good or bad

08.01.2022 #Croydon counselling We are more away than ever that PTSD triggered by trauma is much more wide spread than previously thought and not just common within ex-service people. Some of the predisposing factors for PTSD are; having a family history of mental disorder, having a childhood history of separation or childhood history of abuse among others. These preconditions are suggestive of poor emotional regulation and poor attachment security.

08.01.2022 #Caloundra counselling What makes people miserable , desperate, anxious hopeless and despairing is lots of things that are extremely unlikely to have genetic causes, like loss, abuse, poverty, adversity, social isolation and social inequality. What we should be offering people is the opportunity to be heard and to make sense of their life

08.01.2022 #Caloundra Counselling Pain can be debilitating and comes in many forms. But with emotional and psychological pain it's the things that people do to avoid the pain that does them harm. Many people avoid looking at or talking about the most painful things, others self medicate with alcohol etc. It's a paradox because the truth is that, if they allow themselves to feel the pain, incrementally and with support in a safe and confidential place, it forces their system to adjust to this new reality. Feeling and moving through the pain is what heals you.

06.01.2022 #Counselling Australia I've just watched a Daniel Wendler video on line about Resilience and encourage everyone, whether they are on the spectrum or not, to watch this and share it

04.01.2022 A father said to his daughter You graduated with honors, here is a car I acquired many years ago. It is several years old. But before I give it to you, take it... to the used car lot downtown and tell them I want to sell it and see how much they offer you. The daughter went to the used car lot, returned to her father and said, They offered me $1,000 because it looks very worn out. The father said,Take him to the pawn shop. The daughter went to the pawn shop, returned to her father and said,The pawn shop offered $100 because it was a very old car. The father asked his daughter to go to a car club and show them the car. The daughter took the car to the club, returned and told her father, Some people in the club offered $100,000 for it since its a Nissan Skyline R34, an iconic car and sought out after by many. The father said to his daughter,The right place values you the right way, If you are not valued, do not be angry, it means you are in the wrong place. Those who know your value are those who appreciate you. Never stay in a place where no one sees your value. Copied

03.01.2022 #Counselling Australia We hear a lot about forgiveness to promote healing. Many relationships are difficult, damaging, even toxic and as such can derail a person, cause confusion and even long term damage. Counselling encourages deep investigation and honesty around personal experience and it's consequences. Many clients explore their mother relationships and feel they need to forgive, but where does the forgiveness belong? Towards the parent who has caused and maybe continues to cause so much damage and pain, or towards ourselves? There are times where stepping away from a parent is the healthy option and give ourselves permission to disconnect from ongoing abuse. Maybe this is the time to forgive ourselves

02.01.2022 #Counselling Australia Just listening to a presentation from Daniel Wendler speaking about his diagnosis of Autism. He shared he'd always struggled in peer interactions and concluded he was 'bad'. Having the diagnosis helped him to realise he wasn't bad, he was just bad at doing some things. He spent time reading books about communication and body language to learn and develop the skills he felt held him back. He also said that having a diagnosis didn't need to 'define you, it just describes you'. Wise words from someone who knows

White counsellors who are effective seem to learn two attitudes, the first is the realisation and ownership of the fact that they think white.

01.01.2022 # Croydon counselling The strong man model we view on the world stage is an insecure character, plagued by a sense of inferiority, hopeless at genuine conversation, unable to listen or show interest in others, especially different to himself. He feels entitled, sometimes because of status and/or wealth, he mistreats employees and brags about sexual conquests in locker room banter. It's an unexpected version of powerlessness and their nastiness is a justified target of feminist fury. His views are unreconstructed and untested and their experience of genuine intimacy non-existent. Their involvement in politics represents a threat to real democracy
