As they say - Spend 20 minutes a day in nature for your mental health...! Just the other day I spent time on a wonderful walk at the Gresswell Forrest. What a delightful walk through the greenery full of birds!

When you need a time to reflect and recharge, head for one of the quiet streets bordering this oasis in the middle of the Northern suburbs. You can walk a small distance or do a loop around the whole area which is so amazing because its wildlife is protected from the predators like dogs and cats. Of course, you cannot walk inside with your dog, unfortnately, but you can also walk through the surrounding streets and still see a lot of green space and birds.

Long shot as there are just 3 days left. However, if you or someone you love, feel that we do actually have a mental health crisis here in Australia, why is a big portion of professional therapists locked out of the system?
That's right - the mental health plans designed to improve lives of those who most need it are mostly accessed too late, because they are only available for a limited group of providers.
Why? Not because they are the only ones trained, the only ones professional, or the only ones able to help... It is because they were the most successful and powerful in lobbying the governments to keep their privilege.
But enough is enough - lives are being lost because of this! Please help by signing the petition and make mental health services more accessible to all Australians. After all - you might know someone who quit smoking or freed themselves from a phobia using hypnotherapy!
NOW WE URGENTLY NEED HELP - only 3 days left!! 🥺 Amidst the current mental health care crisis, 17% of Australians experience anxiety disorders and depression impacts 1 in 7. Accessible and effective treatments are urgently needed. Hypnotherapy, performed by well-trained professional members of reputable regulatory Associations, offers rapid and significant relief‍. The Australian Hypnotherapists' Association (AHA) is urgently campaigning to include hypnotherapy in Medicare, and we need your help so we can help others.
We need 5k signatures just to be heard. We only have just 3 days to gather those 5,000 signatures.
Here’s how you can help:
1/ If you live in Australia, sign the petition.
2/ Share the petition with your email list (everyone).
3/ Share the petition on your socials (everyone).

Also - Like and comment on any shares you see to boost visibility. Time is short—let’s make hypnotherapy accessible for all Australians!

Having trouble sleeping? Self-hypnosis is one of the best ways to solve this problem... Because it is often the underlying anxiety that keeps you awake!

Funnily enough, many people would not want to trust a hypnotist. I'm not surprised, of course, but how about a neuroscientist?

OldPain2Go is an evidence-based and well established method of reducing and/or removing chorinic pain.

WHAT is the science behind it?
Acute pain is addressed by treatment - once the injury is healed the pain disappears. However, in some cases it remains and if it is more than 3 months after the treatment then the pain is classified as chronic. There does not need to be a physical evidence for the pain to be present. If you are a keyboard warrior that is already gearing up to protest - think about the common type of chronic pain called pahntom limb syndrome, when amputees feel pain in a limb they lost in a war or an accident. Is there a leg or arm to hurt? No! Is the pain still real? Of course it is!

How does sit work?
OP2G is based on brain bargaining - a conscious negotiation with the emotional part of the person's mind to reduce the pain to a level which is acceptable to maintain a sufficient level of safety.

WHY am I posting this?
I am looking for someone with chronic pain who is also providing some kind of health service to others. I am going to offer 3 FREE sessions in order for those who are experts and providers of other modalities to review and constructively critique my approach.

Message me for details and to organise time - it can be done online but preferably in person, so ideally in Northern suburbs.

If you own a home this article might resonate with you.

Do you also feel that you don't ever want to move from your home but at the same time it is becoming too big to manage and maintain? Do you consider yourself to be an open minded person who would consider developing your property further so you can retain ownership but be supported by others who would share the same vision? There are many ways to do this better but it is very difficult to find people who would commit to such project - if you would let me know... :-)

For many Australians over 65, a significant amount of their wealth is tied up in the family home. Here are some safe ways to access it.

One of the most difficult challenges in a person's adult life is to do a good job as a parent. Those who are blessed to have a child often feel unprepared and lack confidence once their baby arrives. Why?

Regulations are in place, sometimes very strict, on all our activities that are potentially threatening to affect others. For example - we need to get a driving licence before getting behind a wheel of a car. We need to learn about food safety and demonstrate that we can apply minimum standards before opening a restaurant. We need to pass rigorous exams to become health professionals!

However, anyone in today's advanced and cautious society can parent a child, without any preparation or qualification. They take that child home and control them sometimes for up to 20 years, and can inflict untold trauma on them. Many times this is completely unintentional - they simply have no idea HOW TO PARENT a child well.

We cannot teach everyone about early childhood development, just like we cannot expect those who learn first aid to know all the science behind it. But there is also a technique that I sometimes like to refer to as the "First Aid" for mental health of children that parents can apply without learning about the psychology of early childhood. It is called the Goulding Method - have a look on the official website, or download a simple handout (link in the first comment).

I listed 4 main reasons yesterday for school refusal, but obviously there are others - those personality issues that are more an exception than a rule, and undiagnosed disorders which might escape even the best trained professionals...
Still - when you start with satisfying the child's basic needs and parent them with a positive approach they will respond well and adjust their behaviour! I train parents to do jhust that using the Goulding Method - feel free to book a free assessment session and I will tell you what it involves. You might be surprised that you can learn it in one online session and then it takes less than 5 minutes per child to deliver!

Please share - this is becoming a real problem for parents and schools!

Starting early this morning with a great webinar with Dr Michael Yapko - thank you to Mindset Health for advancing recognition of hynposis and hypnotherapy for improvement of mental health (and physical health too).

Inspired by Better Health (a company that offers free therapy) I decided to give away 2 sessions to those who can benefit from reducing or removing their chronic pain.
OldPain2Go is an evidence-based technique that originated in the UK with Steven Blake who has since trained over a thousand practitioners worldwide. His training in Melbourne was long time ago so there are only a few of us practicing here...
More information can be found on the official website, especially interesting are the testimonials where you can see the diversity of issues for which this method was helpful.

Living with pain is incredibly tough. You may have to pretend everything is okay even when it’s not. Physical limitations creep into your life, preventing you from doing things you once loved, affecting you and the whole family, and the worst part? No one else truly can understand your pain, it’...

Early years (from 2 to 10 years) is the most critical period of development for children.

Children can be negatively affected by Adverse Childhood Experience - a phenomenon often referred to by the abbreviation ACE, which means any event, or feeling, or even a sensation they have which is negative or even becomes traumatic to them.

Children under age of 5 often only have limited vocabulary to express abstract concepts, so feelings and emotions are mostly communicated through behaviours. When the child's behaviour becomes unpredictable, or changes dramatically, they are trying to tell something to those around them! Do not ignore it or brush it off. Maybe they are impacted by an ACE and that could have consequences for their mental health not just now but also in the future. If they are unable to get support to process and overcome something, then they are forced to bottle it up and it will resurface later in life!

Whether you are a parent of a child in this age group, or a professional working with them, you might already know these things. However, it doesn't hurt to recall some knowledge of child psychology.

And now - what to do?
How can we help children deal with something we do not know about? We cannot easily discuss this with a child, especially if they "close off" or become very shy and introverted?

Well, there is a proven, evidence-based, and very efficient technique, called the Goulding Method (also known as Sleeptalk for Children). It is simple to learn and takes less than 5 minutes a day to deliver to each child. I'll be teaching it in my next online workshop on 2 June 2024 at 7:30 PM.

I am also preparing an offer for preschools and primary schools to give a free presentation for parents as this is a big problem also for schools that need to spend an increasing amount of resources dealing with many children's refusal to attend shcool or their behaviour when they do attend. If you are interested to have your school included please get in touch.

There are very few challenges in the life of a parent than dealing with their toddlers misbehaving. Many books were written, often with...
