Relationship difficulties

By

We have three choices in how to deal with relationship problems and difficult situations.

1. Choose to accept the situation as it is and go on coping as before.

2. Change how you respond to the actions and issues that are the cause of distress and difficulties.

3. Leave the situation … the job, a business partnership, a relationship. Nothing is worth the destruction of one’s self-worth, mental health, safety and well-being.

Corey Human is a counsellor with many years of experience and is an advocate for relationship counselling and education. He has found that none of these may be ideal, but when individuals are helped to work through careful and realistic consideration of these options, it can help return a sense of control over their lives.

Perfect Your Perfectionism

By

Perfectionism is a tendency to strive unrealistically high standards. Perfectionistic people often based their self-worth on achieving these unrelenting standard, and continuing to pursue these goals regardless of the negative consequences and cost. Some typical behaviours of perfectionism may include excessive organising or list making, avoiding situation that may lead to failure, struggling to make decisions in appropriate period of time.

Even though striving for perfection is a very positive goal for people, if perfectionism starts to interrupt your ability to function at home, at school or at work, seeking some professional assistance is generally recommended. Ongoing intrusive perfectionism may lead to severe anxiety and depression in long term, as the ‘failures’ of not reaching unrealistic goals being to pile up.

Seeking assistance from a psychologist can be one of the best ways to help you (or someone you know) to reduce the impact perfectionism is having on their life. Psychologists may use techniques such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help you transform perfectionistic tendencies to work on your favour.

What Does a Sex Therapist Do?

By

A qualified sex therapist is someone who has many years of counselling experience and has then attended further training in the area of sex therapy.

What Does a Sex Therapist Do?

A sex therapist can listen to your concerns or worries in a non-judgemental, strictly confidential environment and will treat your issues with sensitivity, care and professionalism. A client can speak with a sex therapist individually or with a partner, spouse or friend; and telephone appointments may be available if you are not comfortable with a face to face appointment.

After the initial anxiety of meeting with a sex therapist, many find tremendous relief and useful information.

Work-Related Stress

By

Work-related stress factors such as investigations, complaints, performance reviews, aggressive clients, conflict with colleagues, a high workload, or lack of job fit can cause detriment to your health and happiness. Studies have shown that when work stress becomes chronic, it can cause strain on not only your mental, but physical health as well. One in five Australians have been forced to take time off work due to stress, anxiety, depression or feeling mentally unwell. This statistic is twice as high in person’s who rate their workplace as ‘stressful’. To deal with these pressures, and avoid possible income loss, early intervention is key, and seeing a psychologist can equip you with skills, tasks and therapeutic methods that can help overcome or ease the impact of work stress on your well-being. Our clinic has a number of psychologists or counsellors who have specialised experience in dealing with career-based stress or anxiety.

Men and Eating Disorders

By

While the majority of people who experience eating disorders like Anorexia and Bulimia are female, there is still a substantial number of men who experience similar difficulties with eating disorders. While often stemming from different external influences, both men and women can have very similar concerns over body weight, body shape and ideal appearance.

Eating disorders commonly occur alongside problems with self-esteem and frequently co-occur with depression or anxiety. Without treatment, eating disorders can lead to significantly lower hormone levels, serious oral health issues (tooth decay) and chronic long term illnesses from unhealthy nutrition. If you or someone you know may be suffering from an eating disorder, know that help is available.
