What business does a psychologist have at a Pregnancy Wellness Event?

Phew! Breathel Relax! Shelley Hall will be there as a psychologist with over 18 years experience..

Unfortunately most people
think of her ‘kind’ as someone you only see when you're nuts, right? Awful stigma! For this context, forget mental illness and think about your brain and general well being.

Our brains are super powerful and have one sole purpose: to make you survive. While we might think we choose to behave or think or feel in a certain way, we actually don't. The brain makes that decision way faster than you can say baby. Even worse it doesn't care if it's right or wrong or how it leaves us feeling. It always goes with what it believes is safest. You only become aware of your response once you're doing it.
Perhaps you are stuck with the same thought about your pregnancy and no matter what you do, you keep having the same response. Like a hamster stuck on it's wheel! Mamma-to-be, what this means for you is it's important to know what your brain is up to!
Shelley will see you on the 11th to talk about this and offer a more hands on ways to get that brain in order so you can actually enjoy your pregnancy and birthing experience.

Does anyone remember tongue twisters? The sea shells one is a goodie and Betty and her butter! Being able to change place quickly and clearly between words is something that some children with speech clarity issues find difficult to do. Working on these skills - as part of a larger treatment program- can make a big difference. It is important to know what level to go in at and how to build up from there. If your child’s speech is not clear, an assessment with a Speech and Language Therapist is important in order to understand what areas of difficulty are contributing to the poor speech clarity your child is experiencing. This little person was very proud of their effort today!
