10.01.2022 I feel very privileged when families and children let me into their lives. It can be a vulnerable space but also an incredibly rewarding and rich experience for all involved. I love my work, and aim to provide opportunities for both myself and my clients to learn and thrive. Brydie x

08.01.2022 As restrictions ease here in Melbourne, invitations for social gatherings are on the rise. Just as we experienced worry and uncertainty over lockdown. We are know experiencing the return to 'normality' and the rollercoaster of emotions that go along with this. Anxiety and discomfort when faced with routine upheaval is common. It can also be mentally and physically exhausting readjusting back to the social world. Needing to reattune to social cues and nuances, pressures of t...imescheduling, and the added stress of COVID safe measures. We may also experience feelings of social anxiety, for instance worry/fear in thinking about having to go shopping, return to work/school, attend a party or meet with friends. Take note of how you or your child is feeling. Are you overscheduling in the excitement to see friends and loved ones? Are you noticing more anxious feelings when making plans? Slowly warm up to changes in routine, keeping time aside to reset and recharge and validate any feelings of worry and anxiety. Weigh up the fear of missing out against your needs. Remember it's OK to say no and sit something out. #socialanxiety #adaptingtosociallife #selfcare #takestock #checkin #mentalwellbeing

07.01.2022 Connection, attention and nurturing are basic human needs. How we receive this, how much, and how this is managed can help us to navigate our emotional states and feelings of self worth. Is your cup, or your child's cup full or running low? How can we incorporate more of what fills our cups?... There will always be bumps and spills, but by checking in we can work to keep a consistent balance. When children feel safe, secure and supported they are able to explore, learn and master skills. While also learning to regulate big feelings as they come along.



05.01.2022 Solution-focused coping centers on changing or removing the stressors that are causing distress - they focus on finding a solution. You can't always eliminate the things causing stress (this is where emotion focused coping comes in). Solution-focused coping could include things such as creating new routines - waking earlier to avoid feeling rushed to get to work. Setting firm boundaries and communicating expectations with those contributing to your stress. Or creating action ...plans to step out goals and manage tasks. Focus your attention on your stressors? Is there scope to remove or alter your response or action?

02.01.2022 Active listening is such an important part of communication. However sometimes we can feel that we just want to jump in and help fix things or avoid uncomfortable conversations altogether (especially in times of crisis or stress). These conversations can be hard. But it's crucial to take the time to listen and hold space during therapy (and in our day to day conversations). Let those around you know you are listening and responding with empathy. It's feels good to be heard. Knowing someone is making time (and following up) to actively listen and validate your feelings and thoughts is a very powerful thing.
