24.01.2022 Satisfied Clients - Mindfulness Therapy Another client has benefitted from completing a course in Mindfulness Therapy. This is more than learning how to pay attention to what you are doing or sit still and feel the breath. When you learn Mindfulness therapeutically, you gain a whole lot of strategies that help you live your life more effectively and meaningfully. You know how to stay grounded and stable.

23.01.2022 Maybe today, Melbourne Cup Day is not the day to be talking about going Vegan or maybe it is. A Vegan diet is one that does not use any animal products. It is plant-based, and uses foods such as lentils, beans and soy products. I am currently in transition, for three main reasons. For one, I have been concerned about how humans treat animals for some time, and while I can’t claim to have researched all the available facts yet, I do find myself increasingly disturbed. I’m su...re if you’re interested you can find plenty of articles to read and videos to watch. I think that a lot of the things we do to and with animals are not done maliciously, but out of habit. We have developed certain practices over time and continue to do them because it seems ‘natural’ to us. We also often don’t know the facts behind exactly how animals are treated in order for us to use them for food and other products or leisure. Whenever I have seen footage or read articles about abattoirs I have felt very uncomfortable, but then put it aside the next time I was tempted by bacon or roast lamb...

22.01.2022 The Scope of Practice for Registered Counsellors document will continue the struggle to obtain recognition by the government (federal, state, territory, local), medical and mental health professions, employers, training providers and the public. The Australian Counselling Association has just released this document, which outlines what counsellors actually do and ‘what constitutes a registered counsellor.’ The document is comprehensive in detailing the various levels of counsellor competence and what that means in practice. Registered counsellors can perform many functions, such as deliver psychological therapies, which assist clients to restore and maintain sound mental wellbeing.

21.01.2022 Stress affects us all at some time. Work, family, money and health are just some of the things we have to juggle. It can all get a bit much to cope with, and stress creeps in. Understanding stress and how it affects us can make things easier to manage. Stress refers to pressure or tension on an object or person. Stress is like a weight pushing against something or pushing it down. Buildings under stress get stress fractures and so do people. Stress on humans is caused by many things, usually things we don’t like or don’t know how to deal with. We get stressed when we life throws us difficulties - anxieties, fears, phobias and other challenges. Read more ... http://www.radiancehobart.com.au/about-stress/

21.01.2022 Sadly, there is much grief and distress in our communities right now. Events far and near touch us deeply as we mourn for lost lives and senseless suffering. Grief is a very intense, sad feeling that we experience when we lose something precious. It does not matter what the item is, if it is important to us, we are likely to grieve if we lose or begin to lose it. We especially grieve for other vulnerable, innocent human beings, adults and especially children. My eyes were more than a little moist this morning when I watched the television news while waiting for my dental appointment, and saw the flowers placed as caring memorials in Melbourne CBD.

20.01.2022 Children everywhere are gong back to school - a relief for many parents no doubt! For some children, it will be a return. For others, it will be a new beginning. Some will readily adjust. Others will find it harder. They will feel acutely the loss of familiar routines and the impact of starting new ones. Some may even suffer symptoms of grief. So it is an opportune time to remind ourselves that just like adults, children can experience grief. And just like adults, we can hel...p them through it. When children lose something precious or someone who matters to them, they can feel a great sense of loss, grief, pain, heartache and anguish. It could be the loss of familiar routine, or something ‘more serious.’ At the time, whatever the cause, it is serious for the child experiencing it. There are ways you can help grieving children.

19.01.2022 The idea that there are specific, identifiable personality types that apply to all people at all times strikes some people as odd. Yet, when you think about it, if there are patterns in the rest of nature, why could there not be in human beings? What is Personality? Personality is defined as being the typical patterns of acting, feeling and thinking that all people have. It is sometimes thought of as collections of traits or habits. We form these collections from when we are ...very young. They are our coping mechanisms for navigating our way through life. The Enneagram is a model that gives you deep insight into our personality patterns and how and why we get them. From the safe, enclosed environment of the womb, we enter into this messy, unpredictable world. We have to find a way of getting along. Depending on our innate temperament, we develop ways of getting attention and having our needs met. These ways are not just momentary actions or moods, but become habits that persist over time. They compose our Personality. Read more ... http://www.radiancehobart.com.au/blog/

18.01.2022 There is still time to enrol for Enneagram Course Part 1 this Saturday 18th February, 1.30pm-4.30pm. See: http://www.radiancehobart.com.au/enneagram-self-developmen/ for details. Only $50, but worth so much more! Discover how much personality impacts everything you feel, think and do. Most people have no idea just how much influence personality has in their life. The Enneagram is a personality model unique in its accuracy and insight. It is actually much more than a personality model, but personality is a user-friendly way to start your journey of insight and personal growth.Read more ... http://www.radiancehobart.com.au/blog/

16.01.2022 Today, 24th October is Blue Knot Day, otherwise the Blue Knot Foundation’s annual national awareness day. Blue Knot is an organisation set up to support survivors of childhood abuse and trauma. Did you know that one in four people in Australia (or 5 million people) have suffered abuse of some kind during childhood? The Blue Knot Foundation offers support to those who have survived childhood abuse and trauma, and offers education and training to therapists. Having attended all... their trainings, I can say that they are thorough, helpful and informative. Blue Knot wants to inform individuals and workplaces about the effects of trauma, and how to better support survivors. Lack of relevant information can lead to workplaces, therapists and well-intentioned others inadvertently re-traumatising trauma survivors. Read more: http://www.radiancehobart.com.au/blue-knot-day/

09.01.2022 Are you one of the 14.25% of Australians who regularly experience Anxiety? If you are not, you probably know someone who is. Recent ABS statistics show that anxiety regularly affects one in seven people in Australia. Anxiety can be debilitating and spoil your day and your life. Some people worry all day long.

07.01.2022 If you have ever stopped to self-reflect, or wondered why people do what they do, you would love and benefit from the Enneagram. When I first learned about it, I was blown away by its accuracy and insight. If only everyone knew about it and took advantage of its wisdom, the world would be a better place. The Enneagram tells us much about humans and how we come to be who we are. Over thousands of years, the theory has evolved from the earliest philosophical and spiritual traditions. In more recent times, since the middle of last century (1900s), the theory has been brought into a contemporary framework, blending ancient wisdom with modern psychology. It is used all over the world in business, self-development and spiritual growth programmes. Read more ... http://www.radiancehobart.com.au/the-enneagram/

I have learnt how to be compassionate towards myself’’ ‘Easier to be happy, clear, relaxed. This course changed my life!!!!!!!!!!’ I am currently looking for expressions of interest in a small group Mindfulness course for 4-8 people. Get in touch with me if you are interested. You won’t be disappointed! Read more ...http://www.radiancehobart.com.au/blog/

04.01.2022 'Sadness' or 'Depression? If you are sad, does it mean you are ‘depressed?’ Confusion often exists between using the word ‘depression’ informally when you are sad and feeling low, and a serious illness called ‘Depression.’ Lack of clarity can make you feel worse than you already do. And worse, it may hinder your recovery. Many people think that sadness and depression are the same thing. Sad people often say they are ‘depressed’. But when you are sad, does it mean you are depressed? No, not necessarily. In fact, in most cases, you’re probably not. Being sad is a normal part of life. It would not be realistic to be ‘jolly’ all the time, or not to have sad feelings when you’re let down, or lose someone or something precious. Read more ...http://www.radiancehobart.com.au/blog/

01.01.2022 I have finally done it!. Have deleted my 'old' FB accounts for personal, Hobart Counselling and Socratic Solutions. All posts from now on will be on Radiance Hobart Counselling & Self-Development. The delete process will take a few weeks but I am relieved to have got it started. Hopefully, without the double-posting that FB does, I will get more 'likes' morphed to this page, which helps people to find you on google. I confess not to fully understand the technology of today, but manage it as best I can :). I will re-commence posting articles and promoting this page very soon.
