LIVE@5 - Boundaries & Contact Styles with Rachel and Alexis
Fluid, flexible boundaries are key to healthy self worth. Knowing how to use different contact styles helps you stay agile and choiceful in relationships.
Join Rachel and Alexis in the discovery.
You are not unique! And you are! Dr Rachel discusses the paradox of being an indivdual and the process of individuation.
Let's chat about grief & grieving
Nothing is more natural than grief in a world where everything is always changing. Grieving can be profoundly healing because it takes us to a depth of feeling usually below the threshold of our awareness. Join Dr Rachel to discuss grief and the grieving process, whether yours is grief from loss of a loved one, a job, a relationship, self-esteem, money or a dream. In a society which shies away from pain and vulnerability, let's go there!
LIVE@5 with Dr Rachel Hannam and Alexis Dennehy
Join us for a discussion on ways to build our personal power.
"Power can be defined as having the capacity to take effective action to meet needs. Effective action entails having both material and emotional access to strategies to meet needs. Traditional views include as a core aspect of power the capacity to coerce others to give us what we want even if it doesn’t meet their needs. Within the NVC framework we call this power-over. But we also recognize and cultivate another form of power we call power-with: the capacity to meet our needs in a way that allows and invites others to meet their needs, thereby enabling us to meet more of our needs in the long run." Miki Kashtan

Sensitivity! Is it a strength or a weakness?
Psychologist Elaine Aron developed the concept of highly sensitive persons (HSPs) to describe those who display notable sensitivity to various stimuli. Aron estimates roughly 15–20% of the population is highly sensitive.
Join us @ 5pm Brisbane time here at NBP to discuss what this really means, the benefits and liabilities of sensitivity, and how to make the most of your sensitivities

Dr Rachel chats with couples counsellor Freya about contempt and how to minimise it
Dr Rachel talks with Freya from NBP about one of the "Four Horsemen" relationship killers: Contempt. Contempt comes from long-standing negative attitudes towards one's partner. Because it makes your partner feel inferior and ashamed, contempt will cause more damage than criticism, defensiveness or the silent treatment. You can read more about contempt on the Gottman website. You can book in with the lovely Freya for relationship counselling by calling us on 07 3726 5595. https://www.gottman.com/blog/the-four-horsemen-contempt/

LIVE@5 with Alexis Dennehy & Anthony Brace
LIVE@5: NBP’s Anthony Brace spoke with Alexis about the skill that literally makes us or breaks us, the difference between can't and can do; that very thing that moves us from zero to hero: self efficacy.
Watch this engaging conversation with Performance Psychologist, Anthony Brace, focussed on the topic of Self-Efficacy - defined as one's belief in one's ability to succeed in specific situations or accomplish a task (Bandura, 1977, 1986, 1997) i.e., our ability to actualise or to follow through.
Anthony walks us through 4-simple steps he calls a method Anthony calls "Good - Better - How - How?" to tackle your real-life scenarios.
Whether you're working on a healthier daily habit such as exercise or nutrition, want to improve your communication skills to open up career opportunities, or on a mission to be more mindful under pressure, we invite you to listen in to see what a focus on self efficacy can do for you.
