25.01.2022 Oops we missed an important milestone for our practice! In January we turned 20!! It’s a proud moment to think that The Sydney ACT Centre (formerly Louise Shepherd and Associates with a change in name to better reflect our expertise in 2012) is that old. We’re grateful to all the wonderful people we’ve worked with and the conversations held over these past 20 years. There’s a bunch of talented colleagues I’ve been honoured to work with over the past decade including, in chronological order, Dr Emma Webster, Dr Lara Winton, Dr Ryan Kaplan, Dr Janine Clarke and Dr Vincent Fogliati. Feeling nostalgic and appreciative right now, and just a tiny bit old - Louise

24.01.2022 I have a lovely bracelet from Janine that simply states ‘enough’! I wear it often and find it so good if I get hooked by old stories to glance at it and smile. I just saw these rings and thought I’d share in case anyone else thinks it’s a great idea! There are other brands and I have no interest in this company - Louise Ps here’s another company doing similar stuff https://mindful-company.com/collections/i-am

23.01.2022 Some alternative questions to ask yourself as we begin a new year - Louise

20.01.2022 We often recommend this wonderful podcast. Now there’s a 2 day free event with some fantastic speakers. And I believe it will be recorded to help make it more manageable to watch for those of us on the other side of the world! - Louise

19.01.2022 Some wonderful videos to share with the young people in your life (from the great work of Louise Hayes and Joseph Ciarrochi).....hearing from others who might understand how they’re feeling - louise https://mailchi.mp//dna-v-news-free-vids-made-by-young-peo

17.01.2022 Some great reminders here! - Louise

17.01.2022 A whole bunch of FREE resources for parenting anxious teens (and possibly grumpy tweens too) from some wonderful ACT colleagues https://www.youtube.com/playlist Thanks for all the hard work - and these go hand in hand with their book, The Mindfulness and Acceptance Workbook for Teen Anxiety. - Louise

08.01.2022 We’re thinking of everyone missing out on holiday plans in the coming days. Please take care of yourself and your neighbours, especially anyone from the Northern Beaches. Wishing everyone a safe and peaceful holiday and let’s hope 2021 is less uncertain than this year has been - Louise, Janine, Vincent and Sharee

06.01.2022 A great animation of a classic ACT metaphor - Louise

03.01.2022 As well as working with individuals we train other health professionals in the ACT model. Janine is off today to present an all day workshop for the NADA Conference. If she’s anything like me she’ll be feeling scarcited (a word my daughter made up recently for when you’re both scared and excited) - Louise

02.01.2022 Before I return from leave I thought I’d reflect on the values I want to focus more on in my life. So I’m playing a little game to choose 5 random cards from the deck. Strangely enough I think the ones I chose are quite useful values to develop at this stage of my life. (Most adults could probably do with a bit more laughter I reckon. Adulting can be serious business ) What values do you want to nurture today? - Louise

02.01.2022 A wonderful story about what is possible......Louise
