Trust, Commitment, and Emotional Calm can be identified as the three essential ingredients of healthy, happy relationships.

Trust is built through consistently turning toward one another with authenticity, empathy, kindness, and validation, while commitment is demonstrated through ongoing choices and actions. Emotional calm is equally vital, as relationships need a strong foundation of stress free and conflict free moments to build intimacy, with research suggesting a ratio of five positive interactions for every negative one.

While conflict and stress have their place, regulating them through gratitude, appreciation, self soothing practices, calm communication, and healthy boundaries helps reduce anxiety and supports connection. Cultivating emotional calm both individually and together leads to greater wellbeing and stronger relationships. ๐Ÿ’™

Boundaries ๐Ÿซทare the personal limits that define where we end and others begin, helping us understand what we are responsible for and what we are not. As described by Dr Henry Cloud and Brenรฉ Brown, boundaries are not walls but expressions of respect that clarify what is acceptable and what is not. They can take many forms, including saying no, setting time limits, telling the truth, or creating physical distance when necessary. In extreme situations, boundaries may be about safety and removal from harmful environments, while in everyday relationships they support honesty, emotional balance, and self respect. Ultimately, healthy boundaries allow us to be realistic about our limits, reduce resentment, and foster compassion, making them a key marker of emotional intelligence.

The festive season can bring joy and connection, but it can also increase pressure and stress, especially for families affected by alcohol or substance use. If you are finding this season challenging, you are not alone. Support does not have to wait until the new year, reaching out now can help set the foundation for a healthier start ahead. We are here for you. ๐Ÿซถ

The Quiet Trauma We Often Overlook ๐Ÿ‘€

โ€œLittle tโ€ traumas may not look dramatic, but they can build up and influence how we feel about ourselves and the world. Small hurts like criticism, emotional neglect, rejection, or ongoing stress can quietly wear us down and leave us feeling insecure or overwhelmed. Healing begins when we stop brushing off our pain and start giving ourselves compassion and support. By exploring our emotions, understanding where our struggles come from, and learning healthier ways to cope, we can let go of whatโ€™s been weighing us down. Every experience deserves care, and every person deserves healing. No pain is too small to matter, and growth is always possible. ๐ŸŒป

Even our deepest wounds carry the potential for profound growth. Trauma can shake the foundation of who we believe we are, but in that disruption lies a doorway: a chance to rebuild with greater self-understanding, resilience, and compassion. Healing doesnโ€™t erase what happened, it reshapes our relationship to it. With support, presence, and patience, the very experiences that once felt like endings can become catalysts for clarity, strength, and a renewed sense of purpose. ๐Ÿ™Œ

Nature and Mental Health ๐ŸŒฟ

An increasing body of empirical evidence is showing us the value of nature with regards to mental health.

Laboratory studies have revealed the beneficial physiological and psychological impact of natural sounds and images. Research has shown the positive effects on cognitive and physiological aspects of participants who spent time in natural locations as opposed to urban environments. There is scientific evidence that identifies psychological wellbeing is influenced by human interaction with green space and blue space. It is clear that we as human beings are made for nature and that nature is made for us.

It is imperative that we look after nature, but we must also let nature look after us.

Breathe Counselling was delighted to have recently been invited to present on โ€˜Burnout, Boundaries and Balanceโ€™ for The Business Women's Collective.

Joanna noted the Stress Bucket Theory (Brabban & Turkington (2002 / 2010) as a simple, visual reminder.

๐Ÿ”น Your bucket = your capacity for stress
๐Ÿ”น Water = things that drain you
๐Ÿ”น Holes = your coping strategies

When your coping strategies are healthy and intentional, they create outlets where stress can drain. When theyโ€™re missing or when the bucket fills too quickly burnout becomes inevitable.

Here are a few โ€œdrainage holesโ€ that keep our bucket from overflowing:

โœจ Taking short breaks instead of powering through
โœจ Clear boundaries around after-hours work and triggers to remind you to switch off
โœจ Movement (even a 10-minute walk) a few times a day -dance
โœจ Talking things out instead of holding them in
โœจ Prioritising sleep and small daily resets
โœจ Breathwork
โœจ Accountability -reminders to rest!

The takeaway?
You donโ€™t need a bigger bucket or better multitasking skills. You just need better taps.

If youโ€™re feeling stretched thin, this is your reminder to check your โ€œwater levelโ€ today, and open a few healthy drains before overflow happens.

Online Couple Therapy: Effective, Accessible, Transformative ๐Ÿ’ป

Remote marriage counselling and couple therapy are an effective, accessible way for couples to improve communication, emotional connection and relationship satisfaction. Online sessions can be just as successful as in person therapy, offering comfort, structure and evidence based guidance. While technical issues or reduced non verbal cues can occur, skilled counsellors manage these with clear communication and careful planning. Breathe Counselling Perth provides compassionate remote and in person support, and our team is here to help you explore if this approach is right for your relationship. ๐Ÿ’™

Appreciating Anuโ€™s hard work and the impact she creates with her clients ๐Ÿ‘

"Anu was incredible. She seemed genuinely happy to have me there and made me feel very welcome. She was warm and compassionate and after just one session, I had already learned so much. As soon as we started our session, I felt willing and able to open up. I could go on! I can't recommend her more."
