You Are Not Broken, You Are Patterned: A Therapist’s Guide to Understanding Yourself- The 1st step in a therapy session on dealing Cognitive Dissonance and Life’s Misalignments.

What is Cognitive Dissonance? It is the quiet conflict between your identity and your behaviour.

As an individual, family, and couple’s therapist, I often meet people who quietly feel that something is wrong with them. A lot of my work is about is helping people see themselves and the decisions they make from a different perspective.

It can be hard to coach yourself. Sometimes we go too easy on ourselves when the pressure feels uncomfortable, and other times we push too hard, trying to force change.

Note: "It is important to remember that no one wakes up and thinks, 'Thank goodness I am an alcoholic or an addict.' When substance use becomes consistent, it is often a sign that something deeper is happening, such as stress, trauma, or emotional pain."
The following information is shared to educate, not to criticise. As a counsellor and therapist, I understand that there is no single definition of normal each of us is unique, with our own strengths and imperfections."

Psychosis is a state in which a person loses touch with reality. It can include hallucinations, which means seeing or hearing things that are not there, delusions, which are strong fixed false beliefs, paranoia, which is feeling watched or unsafe, and disorganised thinking or behaviour. Psychosis can arise from many causes, and recreational drug use is a significant factor in the twenty-first century.
It is important to approach this topic with compassion. People often use substances for understandable reasons, such as curiosity, stress, trauma, or social influence, without fully appreciating the potential consequences for themselves or their loved ones.
Recreational Drug Use in Australia
Drug use has existed throughout human history, but the patterns, potency, and accessibility of substances today are unprecedented.
Common recreational drugs in Australia include:
Cannabis, also known as ma*****na, w**d, pot, or g***a
Co***ne, also known as coke, snow, or charlie
Methamphetamine, also known as ice, crystal, or tina
L*D, also known as acid or tabs
M**A, also known as ecstasy, E, X, or molly
Ketamine, also known as K or special K
Prescription drug misuse, including opioids, benzodiazepines, and stimulants
Alcohol, which remains one of the most widely used substances and contributes significantly to mental health and relationship challenges
Even with widespread education, many people underestimate the risks. I often hear people say, "I have always smoked ma*****na and I am fine." While that may be true for some, long-term use can affect the brain, lungs, heart, and overall wellbeing. Chronic smoking can lead to life-threatening conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and heavy use of stimulants or co***ne can cause heart strain, stroke, or kidney damage.
Note: Irreversible condition- COPD stands for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. It is a long-term lung condition that makes it difficult to breathe because the airways and air sacs in the lungs become damaged and inflamed. Smoking, including ma*****na or to***co, is a common cause.
We also now have people online claiming medical expertise, offering advice or even substances with no medical training, and the quality, potency, or safety of these drugs is completely unknown. This is particularly risky for anyone experimenting, especially young people or vulnerable adults.
How Drugs Affect the Brain, Body, and Behaviour
Different substances carry different risks.
Cannabis
Brain: Alters memory, attention, and decision-making, and may trigger psychosis in vulnerable individuals
Body: Lung damage if smoked, and possible effects on the heart and circulation
Behaviour: Reduced motivation, social withdrawal, anxiety, or paranoia
Co***ne
Brain: Overloads dopamine pathways, producing euphoria, hyper-alertness, and paranoia
Body: Raises heart rate and blood pressure, increasing the risk of stroke or heart attack
Behaviour: Impulsivity, aggression, and poor judgement
Methamphetamine
Brain: Massive dopamine release; may cause hallucinations, paranoia, and long-term cognitive changes
Body: Severe weight loss, dental decay, and heart problems
Behaviour: Aggression, insomnia, compulsive behaviours, and social withdrawal
L*D
Brain: Alters perception, senses, and thought patterns; intense hallucinations are possible
Body: Usually low toxicity but may cause nausea, tremors, or increased heart rate
Behaviour: Risky or disorganised actions and difficulty distinguishing reality
M**A
Brain: Floods serotonin; may produce euphoria but also anxiety, confusion, and post-use depression
Body: Dehydration, overheating, and heart strain
Behaviour: Impulsivity, emotional swings, and impaired judgement
Ketamine
Brain: Dissociative; out-of-body sensations and impaired memory
Body: Bladder and kidney damage, and high blood pressure
Behaviour: Risk-taking, disconnection from reality, and unsafe decisions
Alcohol
Brain: Affects judgement, memory, and emotional regulation; can trigger depression and anxiety
Body: Liver damage, heart problems, and increased risk of certain cancers
Behaviour: Aggression, impulsivity, and impaired decision-making
Financial Impact of Drug Use
Drug use can be expensive, and spending often increases as tolerance develops. Typical weekly costs in Australia include:
Spending hundreds or thousands of dollars per week can create financial stress, debt, and conflict, affecting not just the user but the entire household.
Cannabis
1 to 2 grams per week: $20 to $80
5 to 10 grams per week: $100 to $400
15 or more grams per week: $300 to $600 or more
Co***ne
Half to 1 gram per week: $125 to $300
2 to 5 grams per week: $500 to $1,500
10 grams or more per week: $2,500 or more
Alcohol
2 to 4 drinks per day: $30 to $60
5 to 8 drinks per day: $75 to $150
10 or more drinks per day: $150 to $300 or more
Why People Start Using Drugs
Understanding why people use drugs helps us approach the topic with empathy. Common reasons include:
Curiosity and experimentation, exploring new experiences
Peer influence from friends, social groups, or cultural pressures
Stress relief or coping with anxiety, depression, or trauma
Boredom or thrill-seeking, seeking excitement or novelty
Mental health self-management, using substances to cope with undiagnosed conditions
Accessibility and exposure, substances available at home, school, or online
Cultural and media influence, glamorisation of drug use in music, movies, or social media
Childhood Trauma and Substance Use
Childhood trauma is one of the strongest predictors of later drug use. Experiences of neglect, abuse, loss, or other adverse events affect brain development, emotional regulation, and coping skills.
Coping with Emotional Pain: Children who experience trauma may use substances to numb feelings of fear, sadness, or shame.
Altered Brain Development: Trauma affects reward pathways, impulse control, and stress regulation, making experimentation more likely to escalate.
Attachment and Relationship Patterns: Trauma can disrupt trust and connection, leading individuals to seek validation from peers or use substances to feel accepted.
Self-Medication: Trauma survivors may use drugs to manage anxiety, depression, nightmares, or emotional numbness.
Early support and therapy can reduce the risk of substance use and help individuals develop healthy coping strategies.
Impact on Families, Children, and Marriages
Drug and alcohol use rarely occurs in isolation. For those living with users:
Emotional environment: Children may feel unsafe, anxious, or neglected
Conflict escalation: Substance use often increases aggression or unpredictability
Role modelling: Children observe behaviours and learn coping strategies
Parental capacity: Emotional regulation, decision-making, and nurturing may be impaired
Marriages and partnerships: Many marriages fall apart due to the stress, conflict, and mistrust associated with ongoing substance use -
Even occasional use can affect trust, attachment, and the emotional safety of family members. We know Domestic Violence increases in homes where Alcohol and Drugs are misused
Key Considerations
Drug-induced psychosis may be temporary, lasting hours or days, or persistent, lasting weeks or longer
Frequent or high-dose use can permanently alter brain chemistry
Psychosis may reveal underlying mental health conditions
Long-term use affects individual health, family wellbeing, and marital stability
A Compassionate Perspective
The brain constantly filters and organises reality. Recreational drugs can overload this system, amplifying perception and emotion while reducing the brain’s ability to regulate responses.
This can lead to intense fear, confusion, or certainty about things that are not real. For children, family members, and partners, living with someone in this state can be distressing, undermining their sense of safety and emotional security.
Supporting someone through these challenges requires understanding, patience, and professional guidance, not blame. Education, open dialogue, and compassionate support can empower people to make safer choices for themselves, their families, and their marriages.
"Undiagnosed ADHD can increase vulnerability to alcohol and substance use, as individuals may self-medicate to manage restlessness, impulsivity, or emotional overwhelm. Recognising and treating ADHD early can reduce this risk and support healthier coping strategies."- If you have ever wondered what is going on for you, please reach out, testing is available.

man observed a woman in the grocery store with a toddler-aged girl in her shopping trolley. As they passed the biscuit section, the little girl asked for biscuits and her mother told her no. The little girl immediately began to whine and fuss, and the mother said quietly: “Now Monica, we just have half of the aisles left to go through – don’t be upset. It won’t be long.”

Soon, they came to the sweets aisle and the little girl began to shout for chocolate. When told she couldn’t have any, she began to cry.

The mother said softly: “There, there, Monica, don’t cry – only two more aisles to go and then we’ll be checking out.”

When they got to the checkout stand, the little girl immediately began to clamour for lollipops and burst into a terrible tantrum upon discovering there’d be none purchased. The mother patiently said: “Monica, we’ll be through this checkout stand in five minutes and then you can go home and have a nice nap.”

The man was very impressed with the woman’s handling of the situations and followed them out to the car park and stopped her to compliment her. “I couldn’t help noticing how patient you were with little Monica,” he began.

The mother sighed and replied: “Oh, no. My little girl’s name is Tammy… I’m Monica.”

Anthony Albanese what concrete action are you taking to protect Australians?

This is your primary responsibility. The safety of the nation must be your unequivocal priority.

Whitlam was dismissed for failing to secure supply. Today, you are failing to secure the safety of the Australian people.

Domestic violence does not discriminate. It is not hidden in the shadows of the internet or confined to dark alleys. It occurs in our homes, affecting people across every background, wealth level, and community. It destroys families and perpetuates trauma across generations.

The only figure actively advocating for a safer culture in Australia is Pauline, boldly asserting her commitment to the nation. Being Australian means protecting those most vulnerable. It means defending the rights of those who require support.
It does not mean allowing one woman after another to be murdered, or one child after another to lose their life to violence.

When these tragic numbers continue to rise year after year, it is undeniable: Australia lacks the leadership it urgently needs to safeguard its citizens.

Stop Falling for Chemistry: The Five Steps That Decide Your Relationship’s Future
Darleen Barton Dr

DIPAC & Associates Dr (hc) Darleen Barton Best-Selling Author | Senior Consultant | Practitioner Founder – DIPAC & Associates (Est. 2009)

November 15, 2025
WE HAVE CHEMISTRY is that the truth?

Blogs - DIPAC and Associates

Darleen Barton Dr

DIPAC & Associates Dr (hc) Darleen Barton Best-Selling Author | Senior Consultant | Practitioner Founder – DIPAC & Associates (Est. 2009)

Relationships do not fall apart because people are weak or naïve. They fall apart because most of us were never taught the difference between connection, commitment, and compatibility. We confuse chemistry with certainty. We mistake attention for intention. And we hope that time, affection, or effort will turn a situationship into something solid.

This is where the Five Steps come in. These stages explain what you are feeling, why anxiety and resentment grow, and why you sometimes cling to something that is not offering you a real future.

Understanding these steps gives you clarity, confidence, and the power to choose differently.

Step 1: Passion – The Spark That Starts Everything

This is the moment you notice someone. They may not know you exist, but something about them pulls your attention. It feels exciting, energising, and full of possibility.

Passion is beautiful, but it is also one-sided. It is a feeling, not a relationship. Many people mistake the strength of this spark for destiny, but at this stage nothing has been built, promised, or proven.

Step 2: Mutual Attraction – The Most Dangerous Stage

Now the chemistry goes both ways. You talk for hours, you cannot stop thinking about each other, and everything feels effortless and electric.

This is also the stage where the biggest heartbreaks happen.

Why?

Because chemistry can look like commitment, even when no commitment has actually been made.

This is the stage where people start:

overgiving
overinvesting
ignoring red flags
hoping feelings will magically turn into a future
avoiding the hard conversation about “What are we actually doing?”

The moment you feel confused, clingy, resentful, or anxious is the moment you need clarity, not more patience.



Step 3: Commitment – When Two People Say Yes to Each Other

Commitment is not a vibe. It is not an assumption. It is not “seeing where things go.”

Commitment is two grown adults looking at each other and saying:

“We want the same thing. Let us build something real.”

This is the moment the relationship becomes a structure something with a foundation, not just an experience you are enjoying.

Moving from Level Two to Level Three requires honesty and courage. You must stop protecting the good feelings and start protecting your life.

This is the conversation:

“I value my energy. I want to give it to someone ready for something real. I realise we have not actually talked about that yet.”

You are not seeking validation. You are setting a standard. And standards create attraction.

Step 4: Compatibility – The Reality Check

Love is not enough. Commitment is not enough.

Compatibility is where real life enters the room.

This step asks:

Do our lives work together?
Can we meet each other’s basic emotional needs?
Is daily life smooth or full of friction?
Can I be myself, or am I constantly shrinking or apologising?

You can love someone deeply and still be incompatible.

This step is unromantic, but it determines whether your relationship will last in the real world, not just in the emotional world.

Note: If you do choose each other and choose to have children the commitment is to them also!



Step 5: Self-Love – The Step Most People Skip

Self-love is not a feeling. It is a job, your job.

It is your responsibility to protect your heart, time, energy, and future.

Self-love says: “I will not stay where I am not respected.” “I will not abandon myself to keep someone else comfortable.” “I will not wait for someone who is not choosing me.”

People often ask:

“How do I know if I am in Level Three?”

You know because it is mutual, consistent, peaceful, and clear. You know because the other person’s actions match their words. You know because you do not have to guess.

And if you are guessing, you already have your answer.

The Bottom Line: Learn the Steps, Fail Fast, Protect Your Future

When you understand these steps, you learn one of the most important relationship skills of all:

You learn to fail fast.

You stop wasting years hoping someone will turn into the partner you need. You stop suffering in silence, clinging to potential. You stop bargaining with your worth for the comfort of having someone.

Here is the honest truth:

You know how hard it is to change your own poor habits and stay consistent. You know how many times you have tried to break a pattern or change something in your own life.

So what do you think the chances are of changing another person who is not willing, not ready, or not trying?

Exactly.

Learning these steps frees you from confusion and keeps you out of relationships that drain your future. You fail the wrong relationship fast so you can make space for the right one.

Because of the eight billion people on this earth, you are the only one responsible for taking care of your one life.

Choose wisely. Choose bravely. Choose yourself first.

With warmth and care,

De Facto Evictions, Abandonment, and the Law in Australia

By Darleen Barton, Dr (hc), Accredited Mediator and Counselling Therapist November 2025

All appointments are booked on our website About Darleen Barton - Counselling and Therapy Canberra - DIPAC Blogs - DIPAC and Associates

​

I hear so many stories in my office of abandonment by men who promise the earth but are not willing to do the work or take responsibility, whether it is their first marriage, their second, or a de facto relationship.

Note: When you involve children and create a new family, you need to take responsibility for your actions and support that family!

​

In 1966, my father, a police officer, walked out on my mother and left her to instantly cover all living costs. I was two years old. My mother was twenty-eight and had never worked. Back then, the legal system offered no favour to women, and no government support existed. In those days, many mothers gave up their children to families who could feed them. If it were not for my grandparents, God knows what would have happened. They gave us a home and safety. My grandfather was in the Airforce he and my mum raised me. Because at that time not only was my mum and I abandoned by my father, my mum also at the time lost her mum to Ovarian cancer. You see life still goes on... I did not see my father for years, not because I was withheld, but because he was living his best life shunning any responsibility for his family. My mother received not one cent in child maintenance. She went to work and worked hard every day of my life for us. She never dated or remarried. My father traumatised her, and she lost trust.

​

So many Susans, de facto partners who built homes, raised blended families, made a home, paid the bills only to be evicted with their children and left without financial support.

​

The Reality of Abandonment

Every week, I meet women who walk into my office, whether a mediation room, voluntary counselling, court ordered family counselling with the same story:

He said, ‘You and your children are not my problem’ but I have nowhere to live.” This is an act of cruelty!

These women are the Susans of our society mothers and partners who gave their heart, labour, and love to a blended family, only to be evicted with their children and denied financial support.

The men often remain in the house, keep the income, and refuse to negotiate. They believe, “She was not my wife. She has no rights.”

They are gravely mistaken!

The Promise and the Betrayal

Many women enter de facto relationships with faith in a shared future. She moves herself and her children into his home, leaving her own rental, savings, and independence behind, because she is promised:

​

Marriage

A stable blended family

The possibility of future children together

A shared dream her own “picket fence”

​

For years, she invests her emotional labour, financial contribution, and parental care, believing she is building a life together. Her hope is real, and so is her trust.

When he evicts her and refuses financial support, it is not just economic abuse. It is a betrayal of trust, a disposal of the family, and an act of cruelty recognised by the law.

“She gave up her home, her independence, and her sense of security on the promise of love and family. Evicting her is deliberate cruelty.”

Emotional Abuse and Control

Before eviction occurs, many women live under constant emotional abuse and coercive control:

​

He is emotionally absent, leaving her unsupported.

He is controlling, monitoring her actions and the action of her children and decisions.

She feels anxious and inadequate, as if her efforts are always failing.

Her contributions — financial, domestic, and parental — are ignored or dismissed.

He shows no empathy for her, withholds love and controls children's sport choices and hobbies.

​

This psychological oppression compounds the impact of eviction and financial denial. The law recognises coercive control and emotional cruelty, combined with economic abuse, as serious factors when determining:

​

Interim maintenance

Property adjustments

Legal remedies

​

“She gave her heart, her home, and her labour. He gave only absence, control, and cruelty. Both tangible and invisible harms are legally recognised.”

De Facto Families Are Protected by Law

Under the Family Law Act 1975 (Commonwealth), de facto relationships are legally recognised, even when both partners have children from previous relationships.

A woman is entitled to full property and financial rights if:

​

She has lived with her partner for at least two years, or

There is a child of the relationship, or

There are significant contributions to a shared household, business, or parenting.

​

Even stepchildren are protected. Evicting a mother with her children without financial support constitutes economic family violence and cruelty.

The Human Cost: Disposing of a Family

Women

​

Identity collapse: Overnight erased as partner, mother, and homemaker.

Economic paralysis: No access to money, transport, or housing.

Psychological homelessness: Feeling disposable and devalued.

Shame and isolation: Internalising blame.

​

Children — Stepchildren

Children experience eviction and abandonment as attachment trauma:

​

Safety, routine, and stability are shattered.

Conflicted loyalty may make children feel responsible for the separation.

Behavioural and emotional fallout includes regression, anxiety, anger, and withdrawal.

Long-term impact includes trust issues and fear of abandonment.

​

Even stepchildren internalise rejection, saying, “If he left us, perhaps we were not worth keeping.”

“The deliberate disposal of children and a mother is recognised by law as cruel and unlawful.”

Withholding Financial Support Is Cruelty

Courts treat refusal to provide financial support after eviction as:

​

Economic family violence Section 4AB(2) of the Australian Family Law Act defines economic family violence as controlling or manipulating a person's financial resources to undermine their independence.

Coercive control over assets.

Grounds for Kennon-style adjustments in determining family law property disputes, a Court must consider each party’s contributions to the property pool. That requirement is set out in sections 79(4) and 90SM (4) of the Family Law Act 1975 (Cth) (“the Act”) for marriages and de facto relationships respectively.

​

Immediate legal remedies include:

​

Exclusive occupancy of the home.

Interim spousal maintenance of one thousand $1000 to three thousand $3000 dollars per week.

Interim property orders of twenty thousand $20,000 to one hundred thousand $100,000 dollars.

Legal costs paid by the abuser. Note: Abuse can be silent, it can erode yourself worth eventually questioning your own ability to make a decision.

​

Firm legal message:

“Evicting a de facto partner with children and refusing support is illegal. The law will hold the abuser accountable financially, legally, and morally. Cruelty costs.”

Real Case Outcomes

Re: K and L (2024) The male partner evicted his de facto partner and her three children, changing the locks and denying financial support. Outcome: The court awarded her seventy per cent of the total property pool, equating to six hundred and eighty thousand dollars, with all legal costs ordered against him.

Re: M and P (2025) The woman was ordered to leave by Monday while he retained possession of the one point two million dollar home. Outcome: She was granted exclusive occupancy, interim maintenance of two thousand five hundred dollars per week, and a final property division of sixty-five per cent in her favour.

Re: T and R (2023) The male partner refused mediation and deliberately prolonged court proceedings. Outcome: The court applied a Kennon adjustment of thirty per cent for emotional and economic cruelty, resulting in an uplift of four hundred and twenty thousand dollars, with adverse costs awarded against him.

Pattern: Delay, obstruction, and cruelty significantly increase the abuser’s financial liability.

Rebuilding After Abandonment

​

Stabilise Safety

Name the Abuse

Restore Self-Worth

Support the Children

Reclaim Financial Power

​

Legal Takeaways

​

De facto equals legal spouse Section 4AA of the Family Law Act 1975 defines a de facto relationship as one between two people who are not legally married and not related by family, but who live together on a genuine domestic basis.

Non-financial contributions are fully recognised (Mallet v Mallet) Factors considered by the court include direct and indirect financial contributions, non-financial contributions (like homemaking or childcare), and the future needs of both parties.

Eviction plus refusal to settle triggers a Kennon Adjustment.

Interim orders can be obtained within forty-eight hours.

​

“You cannot profit from cruelty. You cannot dispose of a partner or abandon children without consequence. The Family Law Act enforces accountability financially, legally, and morally.”

​

Action Steps if Facing Eviction

​

Do not leave. It is your legal right to remain in the home (DV- first be safe)

Call Legal Aid for free twenty-four-hour support in your state.

File an ex-parte application for a same-day hearing for occupancy and financial support. Quite literally, “ex parte” is a latin expression meaning in the absence of the other party

Document everything, including texts, locks, bank statements, and children’s belongings.

Apply for a Centrelink Crisis Payment of up to five thousand dollars immediately.

​

You are not homeless. You are entitled. The law protects you.

Final Reflection

No woman should feel disposable. No child should be abandoned.

The courts and the law now stand with the dispossessed, ensuring cruelty costs, and that justice restores both dignity and safety.
The pattern is clear: cruelty costs. The law ensures it cannot go unpunished.
