One of the most powerful things about therapy is that it shines a light on the parts of ourselves we often can’t see — our blind spots. These are the patterns, habits, or beliefs that quietly shape how we think, feel, and react, usually without us realising it.
Being confronted with them can be uncomfortable, even painful, but it’s also a turning point. Because once we see what’s been holding us back, we can finally begin to work through it. Growth doesn’t come from staying comfortable — it comes from seeing ourselves clearly and choosing to do the hard work anyway.

This month we’re spotlighting Happiness Comes in Waves by Holly Daniels Christensen—a beautiful, reflective book that draws life lessons from the ocean's strength, calm, and unpredictability.

Each chapter explores a theme—like resilience, grounding, and letting go—through the lens of the sea, offering gentle reminders that healing isn’t linear, and that just like waves, emotions rise and fall.

For those living with disability or navigating mental health challenges, this book is a calming, affirming read. It reminds us that we’re allowed to ebb and flow—and that there’s strength in softness.

Therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all—especially when you’re navigating life with a disability.

Whether your disability is visible, invisible, physical, intellectual, or chronic, your mental health matters—and so does finding support that gets it.

In this post, we’re sharing therapy tips specifically for disabled folks, from finding a disability-affirming therapist to advocating for your access needs and unpacking internalised ableism.

You deserve care that respects your identity, honours your experiences, and helps you heal on your own terms.

Swipe through for tips, resources, and reminders that you’re not alone.

NAIDOC Week is a time to celebrate the history, culture, and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. It’s also an opportunity to reflect on the strength and resilience that continue to sustain communities across generations.

This year, as we acknowledge the significance of NAIDOC Week, it’s important to also recognise the deep connection between culture and mental health. For many First Nations peoples, strong cultural identity, community connection, and spiritual wellbeing are central to mental health and healing.

At a time when mental health challenges continue to impact so many, we honour the power of culture as a source of strength and resilience. Supporting social and emotional well-being means listening, learning, and walking together in respect and solidarity.

Kobe, reminding us all that healing doesn’t have to be serious 100% of the time. Sometimes it looks like naps in weird positions and unapologetic couch sprawl. Self-care, mastered.

Here’s your Myth vs Fact for July, in honour of Disability Pride Month:
There’s a common myth that mental illness isn’t a “real” disability—that it’s just a phase or a personal issue.

But the fact is, many mental health conditions like PTSD, bipolar disorder, or schizophrenia can have a significant and lasting impact on daily life. These are recognised as psychosocial disabilities under Australian law and may be eligible for supports like the NDIS.

Mental illness is a valid part of the disability community—and deserves recognition, support, and pride.

July is Disability Pride Month — a time to celebrate the strength, diversity, and contributions of the disability community. It’s also a chance to challenge stigma, push for inclusion, and amplify the voices of people with lived experience.

Disability and mental health are deeply connected. Many people living with disability also navigate mental health challenges, often in systems that were not built with them in mind. This month, we’ll be sharing resources, stories, and support tools focused on the intersection of disability and mental health.

Whether you live with a disability, support someone who does, or want to be a better ally, we invite you to engage, learn, and share.
