25.01.2022 Insightful documentary on the State of Mental Health in Australia done by Monash University.

24.01.2022 Do you need help with emotional regulation? Do you have anger issues? Have you been told you over-react ?... Is poor emotional regulation affecting your relationship/ s? Make a booking, lets talk Under-reacting is more socially acceptable than over reacting and can look like a calm response on the outside but it also represents poor emotional regulation. Another important aspect to note is that both over-reacting and under-reacting can come from traumatic experiences, various schemas, grief & loss, stress, anxiety or depression. Hence, these posts are meant to be a mirror for you to self- examine and find out what you might need to work on for yourself. #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #selfcare #anxiety #selflove #love #depression #motivation #health #mentalhealthmatters #wellness #mindfulness #covid #healing #fitness #life #loveyourself #therapy #inspiration #mentalillness #happiness #positivity #positivevibes #meditation #quotes #psychology #mindset #recovery #wellbeing #bhfyp

24.01.2022 Help and advice should always be given to others as a choice, when you find yourself calling people ungrateful and getting offended when people don't take or value , your help or advice even when you feel it's correct... check your motives as this is an indicator for power and control issues. There is nothing wrong with fixing/ helping people or wanting to help, the issue is when you derive your value, self- worth, self-care esteem from fixing people's lives and issues event...ually you burn out. If you always run to fix when ever you see an issue, even when you have not been asked to fix, you will burnout and when people don't take your unsolicited or even solicited advice you vilify them. The Savior complex or the white knight syndrome has nothing to do with genuine love and care for people's wellbeing though it may seem like it. But more to do with helping just so you feel good. Often people with the Savior complex seem to attract, people (in relationships or friendships) who are needy and who always play the victim. That way they have a transactional friendship or relationship, where they give to feel good and the needy takes and feel good. Ofcourse overtime this is not sustainable. #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #selfcare #selflove #love #anxiety #motivation #depression #health #mentalhealthmatters #mindfulness #life #wellness #loveyourself #fitness #inspiration #healing #happiness #positivity #positivevibes #covid #quotes #therapy #mindset #meditation #mentalillness #instagood #happy #psychology #bhfyp

23.01.2022 If you can't get your hands on a spray bottle, don't worry there are plenty of ways in which oxytocin release can be stimulated during a monogamous relationships, such as cuddling, hand-holding and physical touch and meaningful connection are known to trigger the hormone. Oxytocin also promotes feelings of love, social bonding, reduces blood pressure, promotes growth and healing, promotes sleep, increases pain threshold when working in a team and it decreases cortisol levels. #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #selfcare #selflove #love #anxiety #motivation #depression #health #mentalhealthmatters #mindfulness #life #wellness #loveyourself #Gottman #inspiration #healing #happiness #positivity #positivevibes #australia #relatjonshiptherapy #therapy #mindset #meditation #mentalillness #instagood #happy #psychology #brisbane

20.01.2022 As the Corona virus spreads various restrictions have come with it. People being quarantined and people being encouraged to apply social distancing. In light of the above it is important not to neglect your mental health. Be aware of your emotions, around fear, grief, loss, trauma, anxiety, worry and stress around coping/ dealing with the Corona outbreak and its effects. (Consult mental health professional) Lets be empathetic towads each other especially towards the elderly a...nd sick (those most at risk). Hold on to hope and stay connected via phone and social media while applying social distancing. No use worrying over what you can not control, it will just create unnecessary fear, stress and anxiety. Instead work on what you can control. What you can control is your attitude (victim mentality or victor mentality), playing your part by applying social distancing if you are sick and being hygienic to stop the spread of the Corina virus. If you suspect that you maybe exposed and don't know what to do call 13 HEALTH (13 43 25 84). #mentalhealth #corona #coronavirusaustralia #coronavirus #help #stress #anxiety #sick #counselling #psychotherapy #brisbabe #gethelp

19.01.2022 There's nothing wrong with wanting to feel validated by others, accepted and dearly loved. Problem is if your whole identity is framed around a acceptance and validatiom from others (reflected sense of self), you crash when these things are not forth coming. Solid sense of self allows you to maintain your identity while being in relationship with others.

19.01.2022 2020 has been a tough year for everyone, not just because of Covid, personally because of the loved ones and people lost along the way. For many this Christmas will be the first without their loved ones or those people in their lives. While I don't have the answers to life's biggest questions, I encourage people to go to therapy to process their grief and loss. ... #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #selfcare #selflove #love #anxiety #motivation #depression #health #mentalhealthmatters #mindfulness #life #wellness #loveyourself #fitness #inspiration #healing #happiness #positivity #positivevibes #covid #quotes #therapy #mindset #meditation #mentalillness #instagood #happy #psychology #bhfyp

18.01.2022 Part of what i journey with clients in is anger management, getting angry is not wrong or bad, it's actually healthy and normal. The big question is what do you do with your anger? Most people react, that is they give an automatic disregulated survival response that often makes relationships worse.... What I journey with clients on is giving a regulated genuine response while still being angry. Which maintains genuine healthy relationships. #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #selfcare #anxiety #selflove #love #depression #motivation #health #mentalhealthmatters #wellness #mindfulness #covid #healing #fitness #life #loveyourself #therapy #inspiration #mentalillness #happiness #positivity #positivevibes #meditation #quotes #psychology #mindset #recovery #wellbeing #bhfyp

18.01.2022 A solid sense of self allows you to handle and depersonalise, criticism, negative feedback differences in opinion, differences in the way others do things. Flexibility in your solid sense of self is also important as it allows you to receive feedback. One of the things I journey with clients on is about having a solid yet flexible sense of self.... Do you struggle with receiving negative feedback ? Do you find yourself people pleasing? #counsellor #counselling #emotions #feelings #therapy #help #helpme #relationships #relationshiptips #trauma #differentiation #selfworth #selflove #mindfulness #soma #couplegoals #growthmindset #growthquotes #psychology #psychotherapy #meditation #love #marriagetherapy #men'shealth #women'shealth #Brisbane #areyouokay #Brisbane #motivation #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness

18.01.2022 We all go through tough seasons in life, sometimes it seems the tough season can go on forever, it helps to have someone to talk to and journey along with. If you are going through something, send an email/ message and organise an appointment for a session. Remember silence is not therapy and therapy is not weakness. #counselling #counsellor #marriagecounseling #depressionhelp #anxietyrelief #help #mentalhealth #griefandloss #traumacounselling @ Christian Heritage College CHC

17.01.2022 Best way to care for your relationship is to grow. It is important to know what unhealthy fused relationships look like because awareness is the first step towards growth. Fused relationships can look like genuine connection but any relationship that discourages anyone from having choice, a different opinion and being an individual usually works for one and not the other. The ideal way is to facilitate both being anindividual while still connecting to your partner. Find the... balance of maintaining your identity (being yourself) while building mutual connection with your partner. #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #selfcare #selflove #love #anxiety #motivation #depression #health #mentalhealthmatters #mindfulness #life #wellness #loveyourself #fitness #inspiration #healing #happiness #positivity #positivevibes #covid #quotes #therapy #mindset #meditation #mentalillness #instagood #happy #psychology #brisane

13.01.2022 Self criticism triggers the brain's threat perception system, unleashing a cascade of nuerophysiological activities including the ( fight, flight, freeze and flop mode) designed to keep you safe Reflecting on how to get better is ok, but when you constantly criticise yourself, your threat perception system starts to dominate because you will constantly be in that survival mode (fight, flight, freeze, flop) thus, disrupting our threat perception system. When this happens we a...re likely to either overreact or underreact to different situations e.g you overreact to danger in a safe environment or you feel safe in an unsafe environment. Though not exclusive, this also happens when threat (or our sense of threat) is being created by our own perception and this is either happening without us knowing (due to undeveloped awareness in your subconscious) or is not being adequately addressed (due to a lack of understanding about the nature of the mind-body feedback loop, or low skill level in terms of ‘what’ to do about it). This can also be a contributing factor to anxiety, depression and mood disorders. So take sometime to be kind to yourself today. Practice self compassion not self criticism. #selfworth #selfcompassion #selfcriticism #depression #anxietyrelief #anxiety #neuroscience #counsellingpsychology #counselling #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealth #brain #safety #stress #Brisbane #silenceisnottherapy

12.01.2022 These are some of the qualities that I have identified as being important to include when having a conversation with someone about suicide. The biggest thing when it comes to any type of intervention is making sure that the individual feels supported, heard and involved in any process. Being empathetic will help you, understand a small glimpse of what the person is going through hence, talking to the individual will be more of a conversation than an interrogation. Being non...-judgemental usually helps the individual to open up, especially if they feel they will not be judged for wanting to commit suicide. When having a suicide intervention conversation be willing to listen, resist the urge to give reason why they should not be feeling suicidal, instead these reasons should come from them not you. Never try and fix someone by telling them what to do, the best thing you can do is journey along with someone, support them and let them know you are there for them. Don’t play the role of a therapist if you are not one, when in doubt always refer, call the suicide hotline and ask for what to do next.

10.01.2022 We all have a bit of a white knight in us, some more than others. Help and advice should always be given to others as a choice, when you find yourself calling people ungrateful and getting offended when people don't take or value , your help or adivice even when you feel it's correct... Then check your motives There is nothing wrong with helping people or wanting to help the issue is when helping is a source of validation, feeling good, power and control. You will always run... to fix or advise when ever you see an issue, even when you have not been asked to fix. Often people with the Savior complex seem to attract, people (in relationships or friendships) who are needy and who always play the victim. That way they have a transactional friendship or relationship, where they give to feel good and the needy takes and feels good. #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #selfcare #selflove #love #anxiety #motivation #depression #health #mentalhealthmatters #mindfulness #life #wellness #loveyourself #fitness #inspiration #healing #happiness #positivity #positivevibes #covid #quotes #therapy #mindset #meditation #mentalillness #instagood #happy #psychology #bhfyp

10.01.2022 One of the benefits of counselling is that it empowers clients to understand that they have the power to control how they respond or react, your emotions don't have to hold you hostage. Counselling teaches you to manage your emotions to be responsive and not reactive in different relationships. #counsellor #counselling #emotions #feelings #therapy #help #helpme #relationships #relationshiptips #trauma #differentiation #selfworth #selflove #mindfulness #soma #couplegoals #growthmindset #growthquotes #psychology #psychotherapy #meditation #love #marriagetherapy #men'shealth #women'shealth #Brisbane #

07.01.2022 Everyone projects at different times in different situations. The key is growing so much so that you become aware of when you are projecting. The danger of projection is that it's so subconscious that you never know when you are doing it. #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #selfcare #selflove #love #anxiety #motivation #depression #health #mentalhealthmatters #mindfulness #life #wellness #loveyourself #fitness #inspiration #healing #happiness #positivity #positivevibes #quotes #therapy #mindset #meditation #mentalillness #instagood #happy #psychology #bhfyp #projection

05.01.2022 In todays climate where people are overwhelmed by the global impact of Covid-19, one of the simplest ways to reduce excess stress and anxiety is through practicing mindfulness. You can change the way you feel, by simply being more aware of what is going on with your thoughts and thought patterns. Mindfulness is most effective when done consistently not just as a one off.... While this specific exercise is more cognitive based, it is still effective at helping people manage or cope with excessive thoughts that disrupt daily functioning.

05.01.2022 Differentiated relationships/ people/ families grow the people in them and the people around them. Differentiated relationships form deeper connections, meaningful connections and helps individuals develop amazing self- awareness and autonomy at the same time. Differentiation frees you to be yourself while in connection with others, despite any differences. #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #selfcare #selflove #love #anxiety #motivation #depression #health #mentalhealthmatters #mindfulness #life #wellness #loveyourself #fitness #inspiration #healing #happiness #positivity #positivevibes #covid #quotes #therapy #mindset #meditation #mentalillness #instagood #happy #psychology #brisbane

02.01.2022 Dr Van der Kolk notes the above and goes further to say that Trauma victims cannot recover until they become familiar with and befriend the sensations in their bodies. Self awareness and observing how you respond and interact with the world around you is key in recovering from trauma. This is why processing and working with trauma takes strength, courage and hard work, because you are venturing into the most painful, hurtful parts of yourself... #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #selfcare #selflove #love #anxiety #motivation #depression #health #mentalhealthmatters #mindfulness #life #wellness #loveyourself #therapy #inspiration #healing #happiness #positivity #positivevibes #trauma #quotes #therapy #mindset #meditation #mentalillness #instagood #happy #psychology #bhfyp
