25.01.2022 Labelling any emotion seems to put some distance between yourself and the emotion. It’s a handy tip for regulation

23.01.2022 Hello everyone, I am now seeing clients from the Denmark Family Practice on Thursdays, appointments are still made through me. I'm delighted to be back at work after Covid restrictions and look forward to seeing current and future clients at the new venue :-) To book email [email protected] Phone: 0409465214 (intermittent reception) Or by booking through this page

22.01.2022 Never has this been more true than ever! It’s a challenging time. Our lives are changing by the day. Pathways is a local business and we are here for you and your family

22.01.2022 It’s been a while since I’ve shared, this is a good one to start back with Feelings do talk if you know how to listen.

21.01.2022 Hello everyone, these are strange and uncertain times we are living through. I have been isolation for one week and I can feel the impact already, knowing it may extend for the foreseeable future brings many challenges. I have decided to keep working from home using video conferencing and telephone contact. This is for all existing clients and anyone looking for support during the covid19 pandemic. Get in contact if you would like to set up something for yourself or children, we can talk about what your needs are then. Stay home when you can, stay safe and look after each other. Kind regards Adele

19.01.2022 I’m currently trialling this - looks amazing! From Boston Children’s Hospital and Harvard University so come with decent credentials.

19.01.2022 Have a mindful weekend. Be gentle with yourself... #andrewjohnson #meditation #mindfulness #relaxation #relax #selfcare #meditate #mindful #stress #sleep

16.01.2022 The science is in, Being grateful for what we have makes us happier people.

15.01.2022 The reason children struggle with expressing themselves is because they don't have the right words to say. offering suggestions is a great way to help them convey their feelings without feeling shame or frustration. Q/T @National Center for Youth Issues

14.01.2022 Very useful list of support services available in response to covid19.

13.01.2022 There is an ACT metaphor that talks about turning down the volume down on radio doom and gloom ( our non stop commentary) or letting it play in the background rather than tuning in to the commentary. I thinks it’s a helpful concept, what do you think?

12.01.2022 I often struggled to explain the difference between empathy and sympathy to my nursing students. This would have helped . As we move towards compassion there is more drive to DO something for the other person.

11.01.2022 This is a great way to defuse from unhelpful thoughts.

11.01.2022 Peter Levine is a leader in helping us understand trauma and the body. Well worth a read

09.01.2022 A light hearted guide to emotions

09.01.2022 For the parents out there

09.01.2022 These look really useful

08.01.2022 ANGER LADDER CHART: DIFFERENT LEVELS OF ANGER A thoughtful approach on defining each of the five anger feelings, which include; annoyed, upset, frustrated, angr...y and furious. Each are different in their own way, from what can trigger these feelings as well as how they manifest in children. The feelings are based on psychology and child development literature. In the "How it feels" section, each feeling is experienced in the mind and body because feelings are experienced holistically, it is important to not just describe how they manifest in our minds but also in our bodies. In fact, one of the best ways for children to learn about their feelings is how they experience them physically. Calm signifies a neutral state. Most children's neutral state is a pleasant and calm mood. It's more problematic if we tell children their neutral state should be happy, this sets the wrong expectation, as it implies they should feel happy most of the time. Purpose of the ladder: -To teach children the different levels of anger. -To expand self awareness of their experience of anger.

08.01.2022 Could we all try this? Kindness to others is wonderful and many do this very well. Compassion for self is often harder but just as important.

06.01.2022 Try this little test with covid 19 stressors. We don’t like them but we have them. What does it feel like to just nod and say yes instead of why, how long, who, when, what if? Acceptance reduces suffering.

05.01.2022 Healing from past trauma let’s you start living your best life

04.01.2022 There will be no Mindfulness group in Walpole for a few weeks. I’m away working and will let you know when it starts again. Thank you for your understanding

03.01.2022 Treat your self with respect and others will follow your lead

03.01.2022 The leading expert on loneliness in the world, Professor John Caccioppo, said something to me once that I have been thinking about a lot in the past week of cor...ona crisis. He was trying to define loneliness. It seems strange - we all instinctively know what it feels like, but it’s surprisingly hard to pin down in words & to study. In trying to do this, John discovered an apparent paradox: it turns out that how lonely you feel doesn’t relate to how many people you see every day. Being alone and being lonely are surprisingly different when you study them. He found that you can be surrounded by people and still feel lonely. (We’ve all had the experience of being in a crowded place in a new city & being surrounded by people but feeling lonely). And you can see relatively few people and not become lonely. How can that be? This is when he made a breakthrough. He discovered loneliness isn’t the physical absence of other people. It’s the sense you aren’t sharing anything meaningful with them. (This is why, for example, as a relationship breaks down, you start to feel lonely - even though the other person is physically still around. The meaning between you is gone) I think this has big implications for us as we isolate to beat this virus. We can’t be physically together now - but we can still build meaning together, and that will make us all less lonely. Different people can build meaning in different ways. Here’s an example - I am thinking about what we can campaign for now to thank the people keeping our society going through this, at risk to themselves. The shelf-stackers, the bin-men, the cleaners. I think we should be fighting now for a big bump in the minimum wage to honour & thank them. How can we campaign for that online? Smarter people than me - please build and I will promote. We need collective projects now - ones with deep meaning. It’s the way out of our isolation & loneliness. What collective projects do you think would help right now?

03.01.2022 We're in this together, friend. Who's with me? <3

02.01.2022 I love this imagery of sitting with.

02.01.2022 On a personal note I’m having surgery on the 9th of Nov. I expect to be out of action for at least a couple of weeks. I will let you know when I’m back on board Wish me luck
