Yeeeessssss! I love this! Don't be afraid from the mistakes we make in relationships, lean into the opportunity they provide for growth!

Winnicot coined the idea of "good enough" parenting, but perfectionism is the enemy of all relationships - including the one that we have with ourselves.

Teaching your kids (and your partner, and yourself) terms like "rupture" and "repair" and acting on them, adds visibility to conflict and hurt and allows for healing and growth to happen.

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-04-08/understanding-rupture-and-repair-as-a-parent/103580930?

Ruptures like a raised voice or moment of disconnect can become a "teachable moment" if we focus on the vital repair work that should come afterwards, experts say.

If you are feeling stressed, or sad, or angry, or invisible or overwhelmed. A reminder that Christmas is like any other day where you still get to meet your needs first.

You can:
- take breaks (take a walk, find a quiet room, go get ice, do a quiet activity like drawing)

- leave early (better to leave whilst you're still having fun than staying too long)

- ask to have your sensory needs met (e.g. "THAT is a bit too (noisy/smelly/loud/close/much) for me - what would work for me is if ...
- we turn it down ...
- I leave the room when...
- I do this instead ...
More sensory strategies here: https://www.easyreadtoolbox.info/having-a-sensory-friendly-holiday-season-for-2023

- Even if you are having fun, it can still be draining. Watch your energy levels and don't push yourself further than you need/want to.

- You are allowed to feel the feelings that you have, whatever they are (plenty of people are not having a good time today, you are not alone in this).

- The ABC has an interesting article on dealing with rude things (bc hello, family pressure + money stress + alcohol + other life stressors = recipe for not always great social interactions) https://www.abc.net.au/everyday/how-to-respond-to-inappropriate-comments-this-christmas/103185956

And if today you are not with those who you want to be with or you are not where you want to be with - I see that grief and that is real. It can feel really invisible to not have the family Christmas that is the expectation. Or to have to give you child to your ex partner halfway on the day or to alternate Christmases. It's a tough day. I hope you find a moment for you to honour all those different feelings and parts of yourself.

If you have any really good strategies to get through your Christmas feel free to share x (or message me and I can share for you).

Got a misogynistic in-law or conspiracy theorist cousin you'll have to peel prawns next to this Christmas? These phrases might help you prepare for any awkwardness that goes down.

From 2024, I will offer Zoom sessions for new Autistic/ADHD clients who live interstate as well (and people in ACT/QBN can continue to see me in person or via Zoom).

I have always wanted to make my services accessible, which is why I began with mobile counselling. But I feel like limiting this to Canberra only is creating an inaccessibility for Autistics and ADHDers, as there is a real lack of neurodivergent counsellors or even counsellors who are neuro-affirming.

There is a waitlist for new clients currently.

Experience counselling in your home with a highly qualified counsellor, who is informed by neuroscience and humanistic psychology, able to help you navigate life.

Can we stop labelling attention seeking as bad? It's a human need. You are worthy of attention.

Did you know there's a multidisciplinary team you can access for free under Medicare if you are experiencing moderate to severe mental health issues if you are 65+ (or younger depending on some criteria)?

We offer assessment, care planning and interventions to people who are 65 years old or older and living in their own home (or a nursing home) who are experiencing a moderate to severe mental illness.
