23.01.2022 When something triggers us emotionally, we may get angry, lash out, or do something destructive to numb the pain. Recognizing our triggers and our unhealthy rea...ctions allows us to take our power back. "Once we know our triggers and begin to recognize them when they happen, we can see them for what they areover-reactions to a perceived threat. Then, we can learn to respond in ways that are more life affirming, useful, and healthy for us." ~Kerry Campbell

23.01.2022 5 Steps to Help Kids Resolve Conflicts (Image via Sunshine Parenting)

22.01.2022 Self-doubt and fear are the two biggest barriers in our quest to make moves. A third, and less talked about one, is pure overwhelm: seeing where you are and lo...oking where you want to go leaves you exasperated. This is where movement comes into play. You take steps, however small, toward your visions and goals. You make sure you’re moving forward. And here’s the cool thing: The force that you apply, in other words the actions you take, can be extremely small and still produce positive results. This is the idea of micro-movement. What does this mean? If you’re scared to make a move because you’re overwhelmed by the end result of where you think you need to go, it’s really important to realize one big thing: your collection of small steps equals big results. ~Adam Bergen See more

21.01.2022 Montessori Principles for ParentsRespect for the Child The Montessori approach is an education style that we know as the Montessori Method. In an education setting, it is about self-directed activities and hands-on learning without teacher directed instruction. The philosophy is about fostering independence, self-awareness and confidence in children. A brief outline of how it came about: The Montessori Method was developed by Dr Maria Montessori who was the first female phys...ician in Italy. She opened her first Montessori school in the slums of Rome (San Lorenzo suburb) in approx. 1906 The school is still in operation. Montessori principles are not exclusively for the classroom. They can be applied in the home as well. Part of my approach to helping parents is to incorporate some Montessori philosophy into their parenting. Firstly, let’s begin by looking at the Montessori Principle of Respect for the Child. Maria Montessori believed that all children should be treated with respect and given opportunities to do, think and learn for themselves. This is fundamental to the philosophy. If you are in a Montessori classroom with children between the ages of 3-6 you will notice that the equipment is the right size for them; the tables and the chairs are all designed with that age group in mind. Children are using real cutlery, learning to pour from a glass jug into a glass container, there are frames with zips, buttons and ribbons for them to practice on. There is, of course, supervision. Children are guided and observed. They are given a choice of activities they would like to master. The teacher acts as a guide and when the child has mastered a certain activity they can move onto the next one. Children in this age group are focused on developing a greater sense of self-control. This is when children express a greater need for independence and control over the world around them. Toilet training plays a major role, control over food choices, toy selection and clothes. Children are attempting to do things on their own, for example, attempting to dress themselves. If children can make autonomous decisions their sense of confidence develops and if they cannot their sense of guilt develops. Often Montessori is criticized for no structure, there is the view that it is a free-for-all. This actually is not the case and will be discussed in the next Montessori Principle the Prepared Environment. Parents can strategically plan structure by giving their child the freedom of choice between two or three outfits or the choice of two or three foods. Montessori believed it is essential to allow children the freedom to explore and that making mistakes is a learning opportunity. #tancredpsych | #psychologistalbion | #therapy | #albiontherapyclinic

15.01.2022 Quote for the week from Marcus Aurelius, Emperor of Rome born in 121 AD. He stated that our actions can be impeded by others, but that no one can impede our intentions or our temperament. As humans we are adaptable and have the power of changing depending on circumstances. The mind can adapt and change how we interpret any obstacle in order to achieve what we need to achieve. 'The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way'.

08.01.2022 How to Nurture Your Relationships We all hope that we have found ‘the one’. We romanticise what a relationship could be like, based on movies, books and other media. However, relationships are seldom like movies. There are disagreements, expectations, and life events which prevent us from having that idealistic relationship. The reality is, the idealised relationship doesn’t exist. No relationship is perfect because we ourselves are not perfect. To expect that of a partner is... unfair All hope is not lost. There are ways to ensure that your committed relationship is fulfilling, nurturing, kind and equal under any circumstances.
