With Grace Therapy

Some struggles aren’t just about the present moment. They’re patterns that have been there for years and sometimes decades.
The same reactions.
The same relationship dynamics.
The same self-criticism.

Schema Therapy looks at these deeper and helps you understand where these patterns began, meet the emotional needs underneath them, and gently build new ways of coping that feel safer and more sustainable.

Many people notice that schema therapy helps with:
• more self-compassion
• fewer “stuck” cycles
• healthier relationships
• less shame
• change that lasts

If you’re curious about Schema Therapy, reach out to book in with one of our therapists Christophe or Karly.

Some days your brain isn’t anxious or unmotivated but it feels very full!
Too many tabs open.
Too many decisions to make. 
Too many “don’t forgets.”

Journaling can help you put the noise somewhere safe so you don’t have to carry it all at once.
Not to fix everything but to make a little space and clarity of what’s important right now and what can wait.

Save this for later or share with someone who might need it 🤍

Food is not a reward.
Movement is not a punishment.
Your body is not a moral project.

Diet culture tells us to bargain with food and bodies at Christmas - enjoyment doesn’t require compensation.

✨ Eat because you’re hungry or because it’s delicious
✨ Move because it feels good, not because you “should”
✨ Let joy, rest, and connection be part of health

You’re allowed to enjoy Christmas without guilt or shame.

Holiday meals can be a time of connection and joy but if you’re navigating eating-disorder recovery, they can also bring unexpected challenges. In our new blog post by therapist, Christophe, we share how a little planning, honest self-compassion, and leaning on supports can help you stay grounded and enjoy the season without pressure.

Food routines aren’t always about control and for some they’re about creating safety and predictability in your day.

For many people (especially those who are neurodivergent or living with anxiety), having regular eating patterns can help reduce decision fatigue, support energy levels, and make mealtimes feel less overwhelming. This is why it's important to take an individual approach for dietetics and not a one size fits all!

A few suggestions you may use to build routines that regulate, not restrict:
🥣 Choose predictable meal patterns e.g., breakfast, lunch, dinner + 2–3 snacks or eat regularly roughly every 3–4 hours.
🍏 Keep a few go-to meals that you know feel safe and satisfying.
🥕 Include low-effort snacks like yoghurt, crackers with cheese, or fruit cups - nourishment doesn’t need to be fancy.
🌈 Make your meals sensory-friendly - pay attention to textures, temperatures, and flavours that feel good for you.
🧃 Add structure with flexibility - routines should support you, not stress you.

Food is part of your regulation toolkit - not something to be earned or micromanaged.

🌸 Perinatal Mental Health Week - Be Gentle With Yourself 🌸

Becoming a parent is more than just a change in role and it often reshapes your identity, your body, your rhythms, and your expectations. As you navigate this transition, one of the most powerful supports you can offer yourself is self-compassion.

If you’re feeling self-critical, overwhelmed or like you’re the only one struggling know this: you are not alone. By treating yourself with the same care and understanding you’d show a good friend, you tap into strength, grounding, and deeper healing.

At With Grace Therapy, we support individuals to build self-compassion skills and to find space for their evolving identity. Whether you’re pregnant, in those early postnatal months or in the thick of parenthood, you deserve compassion, care and support.

📖 Read our blog on self compassion written by psychologist Rebecca: https://withgracetherapy.com.au/self-compassion/�

Ever find it hard to be kind to yourself? Our Brisbane psychologists are skilled at working with you to develop self compassion in therapy.
