The Importance of Healthy Boundaries in Relationships

/ Fight Flight Freeze Appease, TRTP, TRTP Trauma therapy / By / , , , / 3 minutes of reading

Boundaries are essential to living in harmony with others. Sure, you can just go with the flow and always do what others expect and want you to do. But, sooner or later, you will rebel. Why, because when you live your life according to the values of others, there is no satisfaction. You will start to loathe yourself as your self-esteem disintegrates. Set healthy boundaries at the beginning of all relationships and hold them firm for your own mental health. True relationships are a partnership – equal in all ways.

Why Men’s Mental Health is Key

/ Anger Management, Health / By / , , , , / 2 minutes of reading

In Australia we have thousands of FIFO – fly in fly out – workers. Often these men and women are envied for their seemingly great lifestle. Good pay, lots of frequent flyer points, only work half the year. But there is a downside. Distance from family. Maintaining long term relationships can be stressful. Anxiety if something goes wrong at home. The long hours of solitude in a small room each night gives ‘the mind’ the opportunity to ‘mess with our heads.’ Who do you talk to when you are feeling down or something ‘happens?’ The mental health of FIFO staff is a real issue for companies. Miners need to be encouraged to keep an eye on their mates. R U OK? Your mental health matters.

Bullying is rife in our communities. Seven out of every ten high school kids in Australia have been bullied somehow. Bullying occurs in the home, in schools (by teachers and other students); in the workplace. I am sure you can think of other places or scenarios. Setting firm, healthy boundaries while being clear on what you will and will not tolerate is essential. It is essential to maintain the respect for others’ boundaries as you maintain a strong sense of who you are.

Seeing Yourself as Yourself

/ Leave a Comment / Coaching, Life Skills / By / , , / 6 minutes of reading

One of the hardest things to achieve is to see Yourself as Yourself. It is normal human behaviour to look over the fence and think someone else has a life better than ours. But in reality that is not true. Our values determine who we are, the decisions that we make, our choices, our lifestyle. When we start trying to please others, copy others or do what others expect us to do, we lose our identity. This is when we start to live according to the values of others. We do things to please them. We say yes to them and NO to ourselves. We live their life, achieve their dreams and forget who we really are. Your life is yours to live. Never stop seeing yourself as Yourself. Be true to you.

Alcohol and Anxiety Don’t Mix

/ Leave a Comment / Excessive Drinking / By / , / 3 minutes of reading

Australian culture has developed with alcohol being ‘the’ drink for happy, social, in fact, every occasion. But the truth is, alcohol coupled with loneliness, anxiety, stress, fear is a cocktail made in hell. Alcohol and anxiety do not mix. Yes sure, we have all seen the ‘happy drunk!’ But, more often, alcohol fuels the worst in people. Alcohol may numb your mind, but when you wake up the regret can last a lifetime.

I Can’t Think

/ Leave a Comment / TRTP / By / , , / 3 minutes of reading

Have you ever been so shocked, so overwhelmed or so afraid that your brain freezes! You can’t think! You mind seems addled, and even the simplest task or question confuses you! You are not alone! It is the ‘job’ of our Unconscious Mind to keep us safe! When we are faced with something so horrible, or so confusing that we cannot rationalise, our conscious mind (where we think) shuts down. We verbalise this by saying: ‘I feel like I am walking through treacle or mud.’ It’s as if time stands still. And often we feel detached – like watching a movie – it can’t be real, can it! I can’t think, is the only way to describe this feeling.

/ Leave a Comment / TRTP / By / , / 3 minutes of reading

Social anxiety is debilitating and holds many people ‘prisoners’ of their own imagination. This type of anxiety usually starts with shyness, but is almost always increased by ‘well-intentioned’ prompting by others. “Don’t be silly… theres nothing to worry about!” (And of course, something happens!) There could be trauma, bullying or mocking memories but ultimately it is our own ‘imagining’ disasters happening that keep us frozen. Life is for living. Here are some tips and hints to help you overcome your fears and start interacting with others.
