Coaching or Counselling... What's the difference? An ongoing discussion I see a LOT. With more coaches, counsellors, therapists, mental health first aiders, well being consultants and more in-between. How do you know what will work for you? I've read Counsellors - Only Deal with mental health issues - Only look at the here and now OR the past - Don't set goals - Don't look at root cause and behaviour patterns - The counsellor is the expert Nope 👆 not true There are many styles (modes) of therapy which work in different ways and can include goals, single sessions, & solution focused therapy. Whereas coaching is task/goal oriented, led by the Client and focuses on the now. With the direct intention of moving forward. And the argument tends to be coaching doesn't bring about internal behavioural or emotional change. Which also isn't true. So perhaps the difference is - Being seen Accepted and alongside V's - Being watched Measured and managed Neither better - just different Because both rely on the - quality - safety - strength Of the relationship to create the conditions ➡️ For change So whoever you work with Check they are qualified, they offer what you need, ask others for referrals, see what they say on websites/social media, get in touch with them, go with your gut, do you like them, trust them, feel safe? Because if they meet your needs Then they are right for you And at another time, someone or something else may be right It's all a process There is no single right way Life can be difficult Get the support you need 👉 It's whatever works for you. #counselling #coaching #crbcounselling Check out what I do at www.crbcounselling.co.uk Feel free to share what counselling or coaching is for you.

https://chng.it/DHVfzPfYCt Hi Community! I invite you to sign this petition. Mental health patients and psychology organisations have formed a united coalition of nine peak agencies calling for the Australian Government to increase the number of Medicare-rebated psychology sessions. This Mental Health Month let’s talk about the government cap of 10 Medicare-rebated psychology sessions for Australians. Psychologists and their patients know there are millions of people living with mental health issues, who need more care and cannot improve with a 10-session limit. People with complex mental health conditions and people who have survived trauma are among those most likely to need more than 10 sessions to improve. Since Medicare-rebated psychology sessions were cut from 20 to 10 by the Federal Government in 2022, peak psychology bodies and consumer organisations have consistently advocated for more care for those who need it. It is time for government to increase the 10-session Medicare cap and let Australians access the psychology care they need.

The difference between the brains of children who read books (left picture) and screen time (right picture) over 1 hour. Early childhood, screen time over 60 minutes, are vulnerable to emotional and focus disorders. Increasing the duration of screen time reduces brain connectivity in the language, visual and intelligence centres compared to reading books. https://lnkd.in/d6b7hmi3

🔹 Mastering the CBT Triangle 🔹 📢 Mental health professionals, are you ready to unlock the full potential of the CBT Triangle to transform your clients' lives? Let's dive into how this simple yet powerful model can make a huge difference—especially for clients struggling with social anxiety. 💡 The CBT Triangle: A Framework for Change The CBT Triangle—composed of Thoughts, Emotions, and Behaviors—is an invaluable tool in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. This model helps clients understand how these three interconnected aspects majorly shape their mental health. Imagine a client experiencing severe social anxiety, which keeps them from attending social events or gatherings. They often think, "Everyone will judge me; I'll embarrass myself," and this thought triggers emotions of fear and self-doubt. The result? They avoid these situations altogether, reinforcing a cycle of isolation and low self-esteem. 🔍 Breaking Down the CBT Triangle in Action Let’s explore how each element of the CBT Triangle can help break this cycle: 1. 🔎 Thoughts By challenging and reframing their automatic, unhelpful thoughts (e.g., "Everyone will judge me"), clients begin to see that their beliefs may not be entirely accurate. Cognitive restructuring allows them to replace these thoughts with more balanced ones like, "Some people might notice me, but they’re likely focused on themselves too." 2. 💬 Emotions This shift in thinking brings an emotional change. Instead of dread, the client may feel nervous but willing to try. This crucial step can greatly reduce the intensity of their anxiety and make social situations feel less overwhelming. 3. 🔄 Behaviors With less emotional resistance, the client may feel capable of facing small social settings rather than avoiding them altogether. Each positive experience reinforces healthier beliefs, building a new, positive cycle where they gain confidence and experience more success in social interactions. 📘 Want to Master These Tools? For those of you eager to deepen your skills, The CBT Mega Bundle for Therapists: A Practical Guide to Interventions and Session Plans has you covered! From anxiety and depression to trauma and self-esteem, this comprehensive guide offers session plans, worksheets, and targeted interventions to help you empower your clients and create real change. 🛒 Ready to equip your practice with evidence-based techniques? https://lnkd.in/gJc-Qq5e

If you have any interest at all in mental health from lived experience perspective, clinical perspective or carer perspectives you really must read this book. Sandys books have all been wonderful and this latest is wonderful. Do yourself and the people you care about a favour and read her wisdom and experience. If you want greater understanding than you now have about ‘madness’, then this is a must read.

Perhaps there is more to your physical training practice than you are conscious of....... An incredibly important focus of our Ironmind Institute methodology and SISU Program is the idea that one has the ability to "train your virtues" We are a virtue centred and led organisation and we not only promote, advocate and embody virtues we feel important to the individual's experience of life, but we code them into their being through creation and design of our programs. This is a way to meaningful mark a world that is more and more disassociated with meaningful values and virtues. How do you live more courageously, you practice making courageous choices. We accelerate the integration of this by creating the environment and circumstances to make that choice while under extreme physical stress and it's debilitating psychological effects. Courage is but one of the virtues we target to train in our program participants. Note to self: Everything is training; choose what you focus on training wisely. ---------- P.S: Our next 15 week SISU Program runs from January 6th to April 20th, 2025. Join the SISU 3 waitlist before 11.59pm tonight, avail of advanced rates and early access to a very limited places ~ https://lnkd.in/gJutvCnX

✨ How can you onboard new staff members to get them up to speed quickly? 1. Where possible, have an overlap between the person leaving, and the person taking over their role 2. Allow time for this handover process, creating a mentor-mentee relationships between leaving and arriving 🌱 1. Where not possible, allow for some time between the time the person officially starts work, and the time they can be fully recognized as a fully contributing member. 2. Performance will increase over time. Make sure that all 5 elements of the business, organizational, departmental and team strategy are clear; so that handover of duties and expected outcomes are also clear for them right from the beginning. 🌱 People + Performance = Higher ROI 1. The more they feel seen, safe and supported in a psychologically safe work environment, the higher their performance and therefore ROI in the long run. 2. See what research says about psychological safety on this page: https://buff.ly/3W8N6mJ

The Power to make change - how does it work? On reviewing a client recently, I was struck by the difficulty of changing a habit, even when they knew it meant they would be better off, in this case experiencing less pain. On reflection, a lot of long-term outcomes revolve around our ability to affect +ve changes in our clients' lives. From my clinical perspective, the question was "Why would someone knowingly choose an action that causes them pain?" We could take smoking as a litmus test for this question. Smoking is strongly associated with every nasty health condition, the action is considered socially inappropriate, millions of $ are spent on education and each durry costs a small fortune. So you would think stopping would be a piece of cake. Smoking cessation has been extensively studied and on average it takes 6-30 attempts before a person successfully becomes a freshairian and kicks the habit for 12 months. So not that easy changing even a deadly habit! This challenge of changing habits is one that I have come to experience consistently and thought I would share it through the filter of something I am passionate about. Since I completed my PhD examining the relationship between sleep posture and waking spinal pain, I now look forward to seeing clients who present with regular morning symptoms. Because I live in Esperance, a coastal holiday town, we have a lot of visitors who have seen a number of other therapists as they travel around Oz and have come to accept their current morning pain profile to be 'their lot'. However, I have developed a program that changes their perception radically, literally overnight and gives them new hope. The interesting thing, is I have also observed that often after a honeymoon period of no pain and gasps of "Why didn't someone tell me this before", their old sleep routine resurfaces and their symptoms return. This brings us back to my original question, "Why knowingly would someone choose an option that causes them pain?" I emphasise here the 'knowingly' because before seeing me they didn't understand WHY they were experiencing morning pain/stiffness and poor quality sleep. After an education session, they knew why and they changed their behaviour, yet they later resumed their old sleep routine and yes, their pain also returned. To better understand this, we need to look at the six stages of "habitology" - the study of habits :) 1. Education. This is when the client comes to us with a problem and we, through assessment and clinical reasoning deduce that their sleeping routine is contributing to their ongoing/repeated/flares of spinal pain. We explain the concepts of tissue loading, provide clinical examples, use education with oral, visual, and tactile cues and take them on a learning journey from current pain, to future pain-free status.
