The Family Systems Hub

Parenting can evoke a whirlwind of emotions. You might feel immense joy, pride, and a deep, indescribable love, while also experiencing worry, guilt, self-judgment, and second-guessing. All these feelings can blend together, creating a complex and powerful symphony of emotions.

As we focus on helping our child grow and thrive, we often put our own needs on pause. While this can seem noble, we know that if we don’t put on our own air mask first, we can’t effectively support those around us.

If you’re seeking a deeper connection with yourself and want to become a more present and engaged parent, our Parent Psychotherapists are here to support you. We provide a holistic approach that addresses your mind, body, heart, and spirit. In a nurturing and confidential environment, you’ll have the chance to explore your emotions, gain clarity, and build resilience. This transformative experience will help you find balance, enhance your well-being, and empower you to thrive both as an individual and as a parent. Contact us today to take the first step toward a more fulfilling parenting journey.

As parents, it can be challenging not to take it personally when our children lie. We might feel frustrated or tempted to take the moral high ground. But let’s be honest—haven’t we all bent the truth at some point? Whether it was a tiny fib or a bigger lie, there was always a reason behind it, whether conscious or unconscious.

Our amygdala is constantly scanning our environment, labelling experiences as good or bad, positive or negative, supportive or challenging, safe or dangerous. This process, driven by our survival instincts, assigns an emotional charge to our perceptions. If the experience is perceived as positive, the amygdala initiates an impulse to seek pleasure, activating dopamine and oxytocin. Conversely, if the experience is negative, it triggers an instinct to avoid pain, leading to the release of cortisol and adrenaline.

At its core, lying is a strategy used by both children and adults to seek pleasure and avoid pain. When a child lies, they might be trying to escape potential consequences or uncomfortable situations, or they might lie to gain something they want. They may also want to avoid disappointing you or protect themselves from feelings of guilt, shame, or fear. For instance, a child might lie about completing their homework to avoid the discomfort of admitting they didn’t do it, or they might fabricate a story to gain attention or approval from peers. Lying isn’t about being “bad”— it’s a way for them to navigate their emotions and experiences.

Lying can be a coping mechanism—a method for managing their emotional landscape when they feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, or threatened.

Instead of reacting with anger or disappointment, try to understand the motive behind the lie. By doing so, you create a safe space where your child feels comfortable being honest, which helps them learn and grow from their experiences.

When a child comes into play therapy, we focus not on their chronological age but on their emotional age.

Chronological age is simply how old you are. Emotional age, on the other hand, is how old you feel.

Emotional age reflects our internal emotional world, which has its own developmental process. Under significant stress, we often regress to earlier developmental stages, seeking security because we may feel unsure, unsafe, or lost

Recognizing the difference between chronological and emotional age can significantly enhance our ability to manage our emotional responses. By understanding this dynamic, we gain a clearer perspective on how to address and navigate challenging situations effectively.

If you get to know who you really are, you can change your destiny.

Carl Jung famously said, "Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate." This insight into the unconscious mind underscores the importance of self-awareness in shaping our futures.

Understanding your unique fingerprint through a natal chart can help you align with your strengths, values, and purpose. By doing so, you empower yourself to live a more fulfilling life.

Hi It's Amie Here!

There is an expectation now that we should always be ‘calm’ (especially around our kids), and that we shouldn’t get triggered. Healing is not the absence of triggering; it’s the ability to take ownership of our triggering. It involves speaking openly, repairing, and seeking the nutrient you need.

As we progress through new stages of life, different triggers will arise, even when we think “we have done the work” and put something behind us. What happens as we grow is that it takes a bigger trigger to throw you back into your defenses and regressions. However, you learn to recognise what helped you out of the regression last time. We get better at climbing out of the holes we fall into.

Our body memory (implicit memory) doesn’t go away, and we have a tendency to continue to regress throughout our entire life. We don’t reach a place of enlightenment where everything is all stitched up in a tidy bow.
Time to drop the unrealistic expectation of yourself.

🌟 Only 5 days to go before our beautiful Devi will be facilitating another deeply profound Family Constellation group session this Saturday, August 24th, from 8am to 11am AEDT! 🌟

Many of our personal and emotional challenges stem from ingrained family dynamics and unresolved traumas passed down through generations. By exploring these systemic and inter-generational influences, Family Constellation Therapy offers profound insights and solutions that traditional methods may not fully uncover.

Explore Family Constellations with Devi at our special promotional rate of just $80 for a 3-hour group session.

🚸 Regression can feel like a step backward in your child’s development and behaviour. You might notice a return of previously mastered skills like sleeping, eating, toilet training, or even baby talking and crawling. Signs of regression may include thumb-sucking, excessive tantrums, clinginess, or acting more babyish than usual.

It’s common for regressed behaviours to emerge during significant changes, like starting school, after toilet training, the birth of a sibling, or separation from a parent. Remember, these phases are a completely normal part of any child’s development. For children who have experienced significant stress or trauma, regression can happen suddenly or persist over time.

𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒕𝒐 𝒅𝒐? 🧘‍♀️ Pause. Breathe. Breathe some more. Listen to their words, tone, and choice of language. See if you can meet the need for nurturance that they are expressing through this behaviour. Try to avoid shaming them or saying things like, "You're a big boy/girl now" or "Speak in your big voice." While it may seem counter-intuitive, dismissing or denying their needs could cause them to increase and prolong these behaviours or revert to other extreme forms of regression to get the attention they seek.

Increased awareness and understanding will guide you on whether to push, refrain, or create acceptance in a new way. Supporting them through this stage will go a long way in helping them achieve mastery and progress to the next developmental milestone. 🌱

And remember, 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒕𝒐𝒐 𝒔𝒉𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒑𝒂𝒔𝒔. As a species, we are wired to mature and grow at our own pace.

Hi it's Devi here! Our family constellation workshops offer a unique, beautiful, moving, and profound experience to be a part of. ✨ 💫

Family Constellations is a brief, solution focused and somatic based approach that helps you uncover and process hidden dynamics behind your issues and symptoms that you haven't been able to shift despite your efforts. Often, this involves addressing generational trauma from a new perspective, initiating a healing process for you and your ancestors, and unfolding a new narrative for your life.

In this family constellations workshop, we will explore the role of The Father that represents represents strength, success, achievement, and worthiness of love and fulfilment. During the session, we will then open it up to group participants who wish to do a constellation to work through an issue that they have not been able to currently resolve with other therapies and approaches.

Whether you struggle to set boundaries, have unresolved issues with your father, find it difficult to make decisions, feel unfulfilled in your personal or professional life, have trouble beginning or completing projects, or seek stability, this workshop will illuminate your path.

When we embrace our father wound, we heal our childhood wounds, and integrate him into our heart, this becomes a profound inner process essential for our success in life. We open the door to pure masculine energy, integrating its qualities within us to better navigate the world.

So please come join me and Helen - Live on August 24th from 8am - 11am AEST. 💜

Curious about our play therapy? 🤔 Parents and professionals often ask us, 'How does it work? How can it help my child?' Play Therapy works wonders in countless ways! Swipe to uncover the magic! ✨👧🧒

Let me explain.......

During Farrah's early years, I spent so much time searching for and memorising the perfect scripts to manage her emotions and behaviours. But when they didn’t work, she would shut down, become more aggressive, or scream even louder. I placed so much pressure on myself because I was terrified of messing her up. Deep down, I didn't trust that I was enough as I was. I didn't trust that I would be okay, that I could feel secure and safe in moments of adversity. I doubted my ability to meet my daughter’s needs.

Instead of tuning into my own feelings about the situation, I constantly sought reassurance and advice from others. I would avoid acknowledging my own needs and desires, disconnecting instead. I overestimated the perspectives of others and undervalued my own thoughts and instincts. Does this sound familiar?

Building trust is a developmental process that starts in utero and continues until a child is around 18 months to two years old. This period shapes a child's view of the world, their personality, and their sense of self. Each of us has a unique path to attachment. As babies, we all have needs that must be met consistently. The repetition of these needs being met by someone who is present and available, even just 30% of the time, is crucial.

What I’ve come to appreciate and understand through my parenting journey and my work with children and parents is this: Parenting isn’t about using the perfect script or fitting into a prescriptive role. Sure, a phrase or word can help at times, but ultimately, it's about being true to ourselves and attuned to our child's feelings and needs by tuning into our own. Parenting can feel much easier and more aligned when we are authentic and understand that parenting is an inside job. It is our bodies that can often hold clues about our own inner child and that of our child’s inner emotional landscape.

🌟 Discover inner strength through The Father 🌟

Despite our greatest efforts some of us find ourselves struggling to live fully or relate well within our relationships. We can experience powerful forces that thwart us in our lives and feel entangled within the dynamics of our family of origin.

When we reject our father (complain, judge, blame), we are also in a way, rejecting a part of ourselves, as if half of us is unworthy (of love, success, and fulfillment). This rejection creates an inner void that we often try to fill externally.

Embracing our father, healing the wounds from our childhood, and integrating him into our hearts is a profound inner process essential for our success in life. This journey is not always easy, as each of us faces unique challenges and wounds, and our path to reconciliation with our father is distinct. However, by undertaking this journey, we open the door to pure masculine energy, integrating its qualities within us to better navigate the world.

Join Devi and Helen for a deeply profound 3-hour online family constellations workshop designed to uncover hidden dynamics and open new possibilities for resolving and reconciling the difficulties rooted in your relationship with the Father.

Here is what you will experience from attending this Family Constellations Workshop:
🔹 Practical and embodied exercises and live family constellations
🔹 Understand the unique role and representation of the Father in your life
🔹 Uncover the power of reconciliation and learn to harness the strength towards your personal and professional fulfilment that stems from your father

🚀 Whether you struggle to set boundaries, have unresolved issues with your father, struggle to make decisions, not feeling fulfilled in your personal and professional life, cannot begin or complete projects, relationships or cannot find stability, changing jobs, moving all the time then workshop will illuminate this path.

✨ Let's embark on this journey together. Reconnect, reconcile, and reclaim the strength from the Father.

Curious about Filial Family Therapy? 🌿 Here’s what you need to know:

In Filial Therapy, parents learn to conduct weekly 30-minute child-centred play sessions with their own children. This is modelled after child-centred play therapy, which allows children to take the initiative and freely express their feelings, thoughts, and needs through the creative expression of play.

A child will develop a stronger sense of self, mastery over their actions, and learn responsibility.

They will become more aware of their feelings and motivations. As a parent, you’ll become more receptive to your child’s needs, trust their growing independence, and gain confidence in setting effective limits and consequences. These skills will help you better meet your child’s needs and ensure their safety.

Most importantly, you and your child will become more open to one another, more inclined to share your feelings and feel more securely attached to each other.

This improved relationship fosters greater collaboration, which in turn reduces conflict and negativity while improving family stability.

Who doesn’t want that, right?

To truly progress and evolve, we must embrace our problems and struggles.

Through these challenges, we gain valuable insights into what truly matters to us and how we want to authentically manifest in our lives.

By facing our struggles, we can redefine our professional roles and intimate relationships, moving beyond past conditioning, associations, and inherited patterns that have yet to be integrated. ✨

One of the best things about working with parents in Filial Therapy is reminding them how incredibly important they are to their children.

Instead of focusing on what to do, the focus is to learn how to ‘be with’ their child during play.

When parents learn to understand their child’s emotions and needs through attunement and presence, without questioning, teaching, or judging, they see their child’s fears, desires, and struggles in a new light. I get to watch their confidence grow, their hearts soften, and their joy in the parent-child relationship blossom.

Self-regulation is crucial for developing emotional intelligence. Children learn to manage their emotions by observing the adults around them.

Equally important is having consistent experiences where a trusted adult walks alongside them, offering support, nurturing, soothing, and co-regulating during intense emotions. ✨
