23.01.2022 In honour of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, QCDFVR is proud to partner to launch a suite of professional development resources for those who work with women from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. https://mailchi.mp/cqu/16daysqcdfvr

22.01.2022 Do you feel weighed down by pain and hurt, grief or guilt? Counselling allows you to enter into a space where a therapist supports you to let go of the past. Be kind to yourself. You deserve to be free from the chains that bind you. Short and long term therapy options available. All sessions delivered via tele-health video link. #selfcare #youmatter #counsellinghelp

21.01.2022 Free yourself. Love yourself enough to let go of the pain and past trauma. If you use the EFT movie technique, you don't even have to share your story - but you can tap away the pain associated with it. Free yourself. #eftpractitioner #qualifiedcounsellor #counsellorsofinstagram #traumatherapist #loveyourself #freeyourself

18.01.2022 Adult Counselling myths: the counsellor will cure him/her. Reality: it's a 50/50 relationship. The counsellor can help the client make connections from past to present, uncover blocks, help them see the defence mechanisms that they use to avoid pain, guilt, anxiety etc... give them strategies to manage challenging symptoms or behaviours, safety plan & assess, boost self esteem, encourage healthy self care routines - BUT without commitment from the client little, or no change will occur. We counsellors always try our best of course.

18.01.2022 Each client is unique. Each client deserves to be heard without judgement. Each client needs a safe space to explore their inner world and dialogue. Each client. #counsellor #counsellorsofinstagram #safespace #innerworld #wishtreecounselling

17.01.2022 Anxiety: You can play tug of war with anxiety, with you on one end of the rope and anxiety on the other. The harder you try to get control back, the harder anxiety pulls you away from the life you used to have. OR. You can let go of the rope. You can accept that right now you feel anxious and although it feels terrifying/scary (insert words), it will not kill you. You can overcome it if you are preparred to stop playing tug of war and face it head on. You get to choose whether you want to temporarily put yourself through discomfort in order to beat it, or whether you want to live with it every day. If you are ready to claim your life back, I can help. Laura

14.01.2022 Did you know the human body has three brains? Neuroscience over the last few years has shown that aside from your head brain (the one we’re all familiar with, t...he ‘cephalic brain’), we also have a heart-brain (‘cardiac brain’) and a gut-brain (‘enteric brain’). Each of these brains is a sophisticated system of sensory neurons, motor neurons, neurotransmitters, and ganglia. They are able to receive and process information, store it, and access it again when needed. They can: sense, learn, remember, communicate, and change! Cephalic Brain (Head) 86 billion neurons The seat of language, cognition, consciousness, and creativity Recognizes, gives meaning, creates narratives. I think, I reckon, I understand Cardiac Brain (Heart) 40,000 neurons that can operate independently from the head brain Handles emotional processing, expression of values, and interpersonal connections I feel, My heart says, Heavy/light heart Enteric Brain (Gut) 100 million neurons Controls self-preservation and mobilization, responds to challenges, opposition, and danger Determines core sense of self It takes guts, my gut tells me ((THE ALL))

13.01.2022 Be mindful of the narrative you use when relaying stories about yourself. It's easy to identify ourselves as our job role, state of mental health, illness.... and to highlight our weaknesses to others. Be kind to yourself. Try focusing on the things you can do rather than the things you can't. Talk about your strengths and step away from the negative identity that we take on unconsciously. #stories #counsellorsofinstagram #personalnarrative

12.01.2022 Well done @kmartaus for making an inclusive range of dolls with disabilities. They will be perfect for the therapy room. #kmartaus #childtherapy #childcounselling #disabilityawareness #inclusive

11.01.2022 Save our children.

10.01.2022 I suffered anxiety as a child and my first panic attack aged 10. I was diagnosed with severe panic disorder in my late twenties. I know how debilitating anxiety can be, but you can recover and live your life again. #qualifiedcounsellor #australiancounsellingassociation #bupaprovider #telehealth #telehealththerapy #wishtreecounselling

08.01.2022 Time for a well deserved rest. I will be back in the New Year. Be safe, be happy, be kind.

08.01.2022 Things you should know about my service: 1. I have trained for the equivalent of 7+ years. 2. I can offer different modalities to suit the patient: social workers & psychologist can be limited to a CBT approach in order to claim Medicare rebates. 3. Unlike the medical model, I take a holistic approach to counselling focusing on factors that contribute to healing and overall wellbeing. 4. I offer a free 15 minute phone consultation prior to booking.... 5. My fees are often equivalent to the shortfall in rebate gap fees. See more

07.01.2022 "My parents beat me as a child and I am not traumatized," said the man whose ex-partner reported him for physical violence. "When I was a child they left me cry...ing alone until I fell asleep and it was so bad I did not go out," said the man who spends long hours in social networks, affecting his sleep. "They punished me as a child and I'm fine," said the man who, every time he makes a mistake, says to himself words of contempt, as a form of self-punishment. "As a child, they put a heavy hand on me and I suffer from a trauma called 'education'," said the woman who still does not understand why all of her partners end up being aggressive. "When I became capricious as a child, my father locked me in a room alone to learn and today I appreciate it," said the woman who has suffered anxiety attacks and can not explain why she is so afraid of being locked in small spaces . "My parents told me they were going to leave me alone or give me to a stranger when I did my tantrums and I do not have traumas," said the woman who has prayed for love and has forgiven repeated infidelities so as not to feel abandoned "My parents controlled me with just the look and see how well I came out," said the woman who can not maintain eye contact with figures of 'authority' without feeling intimidated. "As a child, I got even with the iron cable and today I am a good man, even professional," said the man his neighbors have accused the police for drunk hitting objects and yelling at his wife. "My parents forced me to study a career that would make me money, and see how well off I am," said the man who dreams of Friday every day because he is desperate in his work doing something every day that is not what he always wanted. "When I was little they forced me to sit down until all the food was finished and they even force fed me, not like those permissive parents" affirmed the woman who does not understand why she could not have a healthy relationship with food and in her adolescence came to develop an eating disorder. "My mother taught me to respect her good chancletazos to the point," said the woman who smokes 5 cigarettes a day to control her anxiety. "I thank my mom and my dad for every blow and every punishment, because, if not, who knows what would happen to me," said the man who has never been able to have a healthy relationship, and whose son constantly lies to him because he has fear. And so we go through life, listening to people claiming to be good people without trauma, but paradoxically, in a society full of violence and wounded people. COPIED It's time to break generational trauma cycles.

07.01.2022 The voice of anxiety can be very loud. Get curious about the way you narrate stories in your mind. Are you reading words (email, txt messages) back with anger, sarcasm, aggression etc? Are you telling yourself that you know what people are saying about you, without actual evidence? If so, that is your voice of anxiety speaking.

05.01.2022 What does being a counsellor mean to me? It means listening, hearing what is said, and holding someone in a safe space until they feel ready to make connections (to past/present) or move forward. There are no set amount of sessions a client should or shouldn't have. I am not in this business to make money ruthlessly so I let the client decide what works best for them. #Autenticityisvital #Transparencyfosterstransformation

05.01.2022 You only get one life; live it authentically. #authenticity #counsellorsofinstagram #letgoofwhatdoesntserveyou

05.01.2022 I will always help someone out of the river, but I'm more interested in how they got in there in the first place. In order for change to take place we must dig deep to help facilitate that change.

03.01.2022 This is too important not to share. "Perhaps the reason teens isolate themselves when they're overwhelmed instead of coming to us with their problems, is becaus...e when they're toddlers we isolate them when they're overwhelmed instead of helping them with their problems. When our kids are small and trying to manage emotions - they can't express what they are feeling. They throw tantrums, they throw things, they have meltdowns, they scream and they whine. This is their way of communicating with us. They need help to organize, process and express their feelings in a healthy way. And society tells us we should punish them for this. Send them to their room, put them in timeout, spank them. We teach them and train them not to show their emotions. Don't whine. Don't complain. Your feelings are wrong. Be quiet. Eventually they stop expressing their emotions to us because we told them over and over again we didn't want to hear it. For so long they needed to deal with it alone. Alone in their room, their chair, their corner. And then they turn into teenagers and we expect them to feel safe talking to us. We expect them to know that NOW it's okay. They are subconsciously wired to think the opposite because this is what they grew up learning. Give your child permission to feel. Let them know their feelings are valid and that you care, no matter how small. Make sure they know that they are heard. Pretty soon meltdowns over crayons will turn into breakups, heartbreak, sex, or even depression. You want your child to know that you will always hear them, no matter how small. You are their safe space." - Written by Laura Muhl

01.01.2022 Grief. Something we all experience at different stages of life, but rarely talk about. Something we bury with food, alcohol, drugs, exercise, work.... Share and listen, and don't assume you understand because all grief is individual. #grief #shareandlisten
