Over the last two weeks, I’ve had the privilege of working with CBT Australia to deliver training courses in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy in Brunei and the Phillipines.

What a wonderful experience we’ve had to be able to contribute to the training of mental health professionals in this part of the world.

I will be back in the practice on Monday 2nd October to resume therapy sessions.

Enjoying a walk through our beautiful city on day 2 of AADPA ADHD conference.

Reflecting on some of the presentations from clinicians amd researchers around the world.

I’m excited to think about increasing the types of services for adolescents and their parents who are completing their schooling and transitioning to post schooling life.

I feel there is a huge need in this area. Do you agree? Are these types of services something you would be interested in?

After what seems like endless online events, it was wonderful to connect with colleagues in person about a topic that I love to think, learn and talk about.

So many inspiring ideas - things are just getting started for ADHDers. Watch this space!

Oh I love all the different types of brains that we have in this world - it makes the world such a fun place to be.

Here is to celebrating all human beings on this planet, and all of our differences.

Note to self: don’t talk so much, Leigh!

It’s wonderful to be able to return to work today.

Turns out, you can’t do therapy when you’ve lost your voice….

Exercise is our body’s natural antidepressant. It can be difficult to prioritise, though. Are you supporting your mental health by prioritising exercise, and if not, what is getting in the way?

Muscle tissue communicates directly with the brain.

What do you like doing to build calm into your day?

17/03/2023

Building acceptance (even if you don’t like aspects) of self, others and the world can significantly reduce upset and overwhelm. It’s a tough, but worthwhile goal to pursue.

So when you don’t complete something exactly as you’d prefer, when someone else does something that you don’t like, or when situations arise that are tough to handle - how do you choose to respond?

REBT is not just about unconditional self acceptance; it is also about unconditionally accepting others. Both are important!
