Team Movie Wicked Night 👭💚💗

Wednesday Night, half of The Calming Suite Psychology girls—Jaclyn, Felicity, Alana, Rebecca and Aleks— went together to movies to see the new Wicked For Good Movie together for some delicious food and an incredible screening. The vibe was apparently incredible, and they all had a great time.

Being a psychologist/Dietitian requires utmost professionalism, attention to detail, constant effort and dedication to clients and families, and the work we do is taken very seriously. We do hear in our day of work some really heavy stuff, alongside the gorgeous wins and celebrations from our clients.

So to enable us to provide the highest quality of care each day, and manage that cup, it is vital that as a psychologist you honour and take care of your own self-care, and part of that is being able to come to work, surrounded by a beautiful team with a positive and collaborative culture, who all get along, frequently spend time together at work, but also outside of work too.

Having moments where they are also embracing fun, laughter, and exhibiting by example what the joy in life can be 🤍

As a director there is truly nothing like hearing your team laughing and chatting among each other in the lunchroom and seeing nights like this where the bond is so clear.

As a psychologist who deeply values Holistic Wellness, right at the intersection of science and spirituality is a whispering wisdom that is often overlooked ~ Intuition

For many people who are trying to overcome eating disorders, navigate BPD, bypass the storm of trauma, there is a strong, stereotype message they have lost their intuition, ability to identify hunger cues, risky situations, true fear, and it cannot be trusted. That only science and the manualised form of therapy can guide them to the other side of pain and suffering.

I would argue this is not entirely true, and perhaps one of the reasons many people suffering with mental health find themself trapped in cyclic relapse and in a darkness they cannot find their way out of.

Because they are hearing the voice of reason (Their Intuition) deep beneath trying to guide them out, but then they are almost gaslighting themself into believing this could not be accurate. They are told (sometimes very insultingly) someone with BPD or an eating disorder only hears the voice of their mental illness 'that is just your eating disorder talking".

So today, I want to invite anyone out there who maybe feeling trapped in the mind of their inner critic to dive a little deeper for me. See if you can get beneath it and hear the whispers of your Intuition. See what it is trying to tell you. The best way to travel inward and get to it, is to sit down or lie on your back. Close your eyes and imagine you are travelling through your body to the deepest layer. You will notice a stillness and sensation come over your mind and body.

In the next couple of days I am going to provide some really great ways to strengthen your Literal Intuition and your Symbolic Intuition through techniques focused on your:
Intuitive Eye 👁
Intuitive Body🧘
Intuitive Ear👂
Intuitive Mind🧠

Until then know that your greatest level of wisdom was already built in you the day you were born. It has always been there, and always will be.

📢 So excited to share the Highlights from our very officially first Advanced 🌟💥Youth DBT Skills Program for Teens + Parents 💥🌟we held at The Calming Suite Psychology in July - August.

Thank you 🙏 to all the young people and parents who came along every week and participated so actively, dynamically and intently.

Thank you also to Alana and Aleksandra 🙏💕two of our inspiring psychologists at the Calming Suite who brought so much energy each week to help me bring this program to life.

I am still blown away by the gorgeous feedback so many of you provided about it. To know how well you connected with it, and have benefited from it has truly inspired me to keep this program going in the future for as many young people, parents as we can help.

I am now also after requests excited to build it into a teaching development DBT Skills program for other psychologists and healthcare professionals who may be looking for a new way to connect and inspire their teen clients with greater barriers and complex mental health

Such a great day! ✨
I felt so honoured to be invited to present at the 16th National Allied Health Conference (Adelaide Convention Centre) on the topic of eating disorders among youth
Thank you 🙏

The best part was just how wonderful it was as an opportunity to get together as a Calming Suite Psychology team to do something a little different out of the office and collaborate with so many likeminded, Inspiring Allied Health Professionals today! 🫶❤️

Was so inspiring hearing all the innovative ideas and research happening right around Australia to help improve mental health!
