What to do when you're triggered Even the best of us get triggered. The first step is noticing that your triggered which for some can be the hardest part. Noticing that you're less open, contracted, or you’ve suddenly had a change of mood /emotion to the person or situation you’ve been interacting with. For some of us, it can be severe where you drastically change as you may shut right down and go into your shell or become vocal and attacking of your partner. If you are feeling triggered there is some part of your body that is holding on to an … Read More

Change Starts with You

Change Starts with You Is any of this you? Stuck, overthinking, sad, bored and not living to your potential. You want to be more emotionally, physically, mentally and spiritually connected to yourself. You want to trust yourself more and your intuition. You know you're intuitive when you let go of your to-do list and you are being happy, but this is fleeting and short-lived. Fears of hurting your long-term partner by being honest. You want more me time, time to pursue your own hobbies and interests. Women, time to journal, meditate and discover yourself again. Tired of the heavy energy, heavy weight … Read More

Ways to Create Connection with Your Partner

  Let's discuss ways to create a connection with your partner. It’s extremely sad when couples stop trying and stop making their relationship a priority. They get inside their heads and hold onto resentment and worry about the future. What’s needed is to live in the present and to have a healthy dialogue regularly of what’s happening right here and now. Your intimate relationship is precious and taking responsibility for your part in it to be your best version in this partnership is crucial. We have a habit of projecting our own needs onto our partners and believe they are going to … Read More

Stop trying so hard to make your partner happy

By |2021-12-06T13:19:21+10:00January 17th, 2022|Counselling in Brisbane, Counselling in the Redlands, Couples, General, Marriage Counselling, Self help|

Stop trying so hard to make your partner happy “I just want to make my partner happy” is a very common comment I hear in working in therapy with couples. Is it your responsibility to make your partner happy? What happens when you do everything you can, and your partner is still not happy? For example, make them dinner, earn a great income, be attentive and caring, mow the yard, take your partner on a holiday, do all the washing, plan the budget, stop drinking alcohol, stop taking drugs, play more with the children, ask less for sex and more and more … Read More

Top 5 Tips for women to be interested in sex again

Top 5 Tips for women to be interested in sex again I’ve discovered over the years of working with couples that women are often the first to pull away from intimacy and ultimately the sexual relationship. The unravelling often begins when children come into the picture. A lot of changes in your intimate relationship and the pressure that this puts on you both and your sexual relationship is enormous. Did you know that sex encourages intimacy? Orgasms release oxytocin which is a feel-good bonding hormone. Sex helps you feel closer to your partner. You must check in with each other and understand … Read More

From feeling trapped to deep loving growth

By |2021-12-06T13:20:57+10:00December 6th, 2021|Counselling in Brisbane, Counselling in the Redlands, Couples, Life Coaching, Marriage Counselling, Self help|

From feeling trapped to deep loving growth “I feel trapped, caged, controlled and stifled.” This is not an uncommon statement I hear in my room from couples I’m working with. I explain to be free of the relationship might help for a time but the best path to personal growth and self-empowerment is to stay with the one you love. When you are on your own it’s easy, however, there is no personal growth. You can control who you see, when and how much you want to be part of this. They say nice things and leave when you have had enough. … Read More

Show yourself some loving

Show yourself some loving In the first session with me I often ask, “so how much self-care do you do?” That’s always an indicator as to how much self-love you have for yourself. So many of us neglect ourselves, reject ourselves, put ourselves way down in the pecking order. I get it, it’s extremely challenging to balance all the moving parts of your life and having specific roles often takes first place. Too often we feel boxed into roles with expectations that continue to wear us down. The two large areas are Mums overworked juggling, children, career, households, and relationships. The other … Read More

Free yourself from your arguing and fighting

By |2021-11-04T12:37:53+10:00November 8th, 2021|Counselling in Brisbane, Counselling in the Redlands, Couples, Marriage Counselling, Self help|

Free yourself from your arguing and fighting. The biggest breakup to relationships is the bickering and the disconnect.  Your impatience, annoyance, and intolerance of your partner breaks down the communication and connection. This didn’t suddenly begin to happen for you, it’s been slowly building and festering over the years. Do you see the only way out as splitting, divorcing, and going your separate ways? I’ve seen over the years of working with couples who split they then realize after the split that a lot of what was going on was their own unfinished emotional business and unresolved grief. The disowning your feelings … Read More
