Ever wondered if your feelings are 'normal'?

Many people worry that their struggles are unique or a sign of weakness. But feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or even numb are common responses to life’s challenges—especially after difficult or traumatic experiences.

You’re not alone, and these feelings are not a personal failing. Understanding your reactions is the first step towards healing.

If you’d like to learn more about how we can support you, reach out for a confidential chat today.

Welcome to Myth Busting Mondays! Are you hoping for quick advice or easy answers from therapy? Here’s the real story: therapy is about helping you discover your own insights and strengths, not handing down commandments.

Myth: “Therapists have all the answers and will tell me what to do.”

Reality:
A good therapist creates a space where you can explore, question, and find what really matters for you. Instead of telling you what to do, they help you make sense of life’s tough choices in a way that fits who you are. It’s not about gurus—it’s about growth, and the answers you discover for yourself often have the deepest impact.

What’s something you’ve learned about yourself, simply by being listened to?

If you feel disconnected from yourself or others, it could be a sign your mind is protecting you from old pain.

Every family faces moments of uncertainty together.

Sometimes, even the strongest bonds feel tested by life’s challenges—stress, trauma, or changes that ripple through your home. You’re not alone if it feels overwhelming or hard to talk about.

Our trauma-informed approach supports families and couples to reconnect, communicate, and find practical steps forward—no matter where you’re starting from.

If you’re curious how counselling could help your family or relationship, reach out for a confidential conversation today.

Welcome to Myth Busting Mondays! Each week we shine a light on common misunderstandings about mental health, and I’m so grateful you’re here—reading, reflecting, and opening up these important conversations with us.

Myth: “If I talk about difficult memories in therapy, it will make things worse.”

Reality:
It’s understandable to worry that bringing up painful memories in therapy might make things feel heavier. But when you’re supported by a therapist with training and experience in trauma, the process is handled with care and evidence-based approaches such as EMDR. Importantly, working with a trained EMDR professional doesn’t require you to talk about your trauma in detail—therapy can focus on helping your brain process and heal without needing to revisit every aspect of your story.

Not every therapist has the same background—choosing someone who has qualifications in mental health and is trained in trauma means you’re working with a professional who has the right tools and knowledge to help you feel safe and supported. You don’t have to “relive” everything for therapy to be effective. With the right guidance, talking about trauma can actually help reduce its impact and support your wellbeing.

Has fear of making things worse ever held you back from seeking support, or changed how you think about therapy?

Ever feel like small steps don’t count?

Sometimes, just getting out of bed is an achievement. Other days, it’s talking to a friend or taking a quiet moment for yourself.

Every small step matters—even the ones no one else sees.

If you’d like support finding your next step, we’re here to listen.

Introducing Myth Busting Mondays!

We’re excited to launch a new series here at Mental Health Counselling Geelong—Myth Busting Mondays.

Each Monday, we’ll gently unpack a common myth or misconception about mental health, therapy, or seeking support. Our aim is to provide clarity, reduce stigma, and make it a little easier to reach out if you’re considering counselling.

Whether you’re curious about therapy, supporting a loved one, or just want to learn more, we hope these posts will offer practical insights and reassurance.

If there’s a myth or question you’d like us to explore, feel free to let us know in the comments. We’re here to help make mental health information honest, accessible, and supportive for everyone.

Stay tuned for our first myth next week!
