You're Invited: Watch for FREE In this 4-part workshop, physician and trauma expert Dr. Gabor Maté untangles common myths about what makes us sick, connects the dots between psychological pain and the warped values of our culture, and offers a compassionate guide for health and healing.

Team Dinner 💕
This wonderful group of ‘real deal’, kind, caring and dedicated individuals - I truly love working along side every one of them. You know you’re blessed when you look forward to seeing your workmates when the day begins.

New ways of thinking and responding are like new pathways that don’t yet feel familiar. Keep choosing the healthy over the unhealthy and it will start to feel more natural. The old, unhealthy ways of thinking and coping have never served you the way you really need them to.

The truth of this statement makes me really uncomfortable. There’s a challenge right there!

The relationship we have with ourselves is our single most important human relationship. Be compassionate to your younger self - they were doing the best they could with the knowledge they had available.

Trauma recovery is a delicate pursuit.

What is gaslighting?

Gaslighting happens in unhealthy relationships and often goes unnoticed. People who gaslight will scoff at this concept and will even say it is 'made up', yet relationship therapists see it in dysfunctional relationships frequently. It is one of the favourite weapons of narcissistic personalities.

What is Elder Abuse and how prevalent is it?

The elderly are amongst the most vulnerable in our community. Tragically there is a growing rate of incidents of elder abuse, as so often perpetrators get away with unimaginable betrayals of the elderly in our community.

Keep your eyes open and keep informed. The Elder Abuse Line (1300 651 192) is a great first stop if you have any concerns or questions about someone you care about.

After months of reading, learning, studying, watching case studies and then engaging in case consultation supervision my final stage of EMDR training for complex trauma is almost done. The next stage is completing the required hours of supervision and case consultation and continuing the journey of learning and growing. I can’t recommend EMDR enough for trauma survivors, and those struggling with high levels of depression, anxiety or addiction. (Accessing a fully trained and qualified therapist is vital).
