Trying to address issues arising in our life without establishing good brain health is a bit like buying an iPhone 11 and not upgrading your operating system. An upgrade (or intervention) might be required at various layers of our mind-body system: * enhancing our hardware (optimising our biological function through nervous system resilience, nutrition, gut health, movement, sleep patterns etc)
* updating the software we are running (our belief systems, patterns of cognition, emotion regulation)
* checking our network connections (auditing our relational health and social environment)

Does your system need an upgrade?
What beliefs make up your existing operating system?
How can you shed old, unhealthy beliefs and adopt new beliefs?

Positive Moves Wellbeing brings psychology to life (working in the community, in the natural environment, and in therapeutic spaces that support our work together). Working with individuals and communities to create therapeutic experiences that enhance mental health and wellbeing.

Perhaps you want to build your brain health, create new habits, heal from trauma, live with purpose, build stress resilience, reach a goal, or better understand your mind. We can make these positive moves together.

Dive In and Get to Know Yourself Better
Having someone listen when we talk about our deepest feelings and deepest pains is a powerful human experience that can help us make meaning. Diving into therapy and self-care practice offers the opportunity to awaken to parts of ourselves that might have been hidden for some time. It is not always easy work but it is infinitely better for our health than remaining stuck in the dark.
When we make changes in some aspect of our life we need to let go of things that no longer serve us. Perhaps letting go of control, letting go of trying to make others act in certain ways, letting go of our expectations of ourselves and our life plan, letting go of old patterns, our comfort zone and established beliefs. Only then can we begin to embrace our new reality and move with the tides rather than push against them. We start to understand unhealthy attachments are actually the cause of much of our suffering.
Therapy provides a space to process, clarify, develop, challenge, and discover. Over time, it helps us see things more clearly as if a fog is lifting and we can begin to relate to ourselves and those around us in healthier ways.
Whether you want to build your confidence, quit a habit, heal from trauma, live with purpose, manage the impact of chronic stress in your life, reach a goal, relate better to others, or simply learn more about yourself let’s make positive moves together…. #therapyisforeveryone #mentalhealthmatters #therapistlife #mentalhealth #mindbody #changeforgood #habitsofhealth #relationalhealth #growyourmind #therapy #walkingtherapy #connectinnature #integrativetherapy #ecotherapy

A Shift In Perspective

Everything we see is perspective rather than truth. Embarking on a journey through our mind can be every bit as interesting and engaging as exploring new countries. Gaining new perspective and looking inwards can offer a moment of pause between our impulse and our action, releasing us from the tangle of old patterns of response. Shifting how we understand and relate to the events of our lives. Achieving a better understanding of ourselves and how we relate means we are able to be more deeply connected to others and more prepared to relate openly and authentically.
Never underestimate the power of gaining a different perspective. Changing your immediate environment can bring new insights. Take a walk with your mind, talk to a friend, change up a routine, take a different route, start a conversation with someone you’ve never spoken to before.

Psychological First Aid, Self Care and Compassion
Confronted with challenging circumstances of such a magnitude it is natural to experience emotional overwhelm and a sense of helplessness. Many people are experiencing a sense of dis-ease and distress. Implementing psychological first aid, self-care and compassion are important when we are confronted by disaster or traumatic incidents that undermine our sense of safety. We might each experience a broad range of reactions (including physical, behavioural, emotional, and psychological responses) and it is important to treat ourselves gently and show compassion to those around us.
Non-intrusive, compassionate support and enhancing our sense of safety through physical and emotional comfort is critical to reduce our initial distress and to foster adaptive functioning. Don’t hesitate to reach out and connect with others who can share the load so you might calm and orient yourself in the midst of all that is unfolding. As uncomfortable as it can be to feel such depth of emotion and vulnerability, it is healthier to allow and express those feelings. There are inherent costs in not attending to them.

How Is Your Relationship Health?
Relationships are the foundation for change. Relationships in our childhood and adulthood have the power to elicit positive change. Sometimes it takes the love, care or attention of just one person to help another change for the better.

As we learn more about the brain and body, we learn more about the importance of relationship. It’s everything. The most critical parts of development happen in relationship - resilience, independence, courage, emotional regulation. This is because the foundation for all of these is safety. Safety first, then growth. Head on over to the link in bio to read more on family dynamics, emotional maturity and adult attachment in the latest blog.

Connection with Nature
Feeling grateful for time to connect to ourselves and reconnect with the beauty of nature in the country of my birth. Taking time to embrace the elements and step outside is a component of self-care. These walks offer the perfect balance to time spent indoors amidst the warmth, family and friends.
