Still on a high from attending the ANZAED 2025 Conference! A big few days of networking and learning have us feeling challenged, inspired, and ready to come back and put it all into practice 🤓🧠✨

We have another book review up on the website! ‘The Year I Met My Brain’ is an essential and empowering read for ADHDers, and for those that know and love them. If you are a client of Balanced, there is a hard copy in the waiting room that you can check out this month!

We loved how Nicola Jane Hobbs (see our latest book review!) essentially describes relaxation as ‘remembering’ how to connect with our inner happy child. In schema therapy, ‘happy child mode’ refers to a state of being relaxed, carefree, and playful. It’s a natural instinct for children, and reconnecting with this mode as adults can do wonders for our mental health! Try reflecting on what brought you joy as a child, and then aim to incorporate some of these things into your life now, even if just for a moment or occasionally! 🦄🧸

In the spirit of Book Week this week, we’re sharing some of our own book reviews starting with the recently released ‘The Relaxed Woman’. This book is an engaging combination of neuroscience, psychology, and inspirational anecdotes that we think will resonate with a lot of people. Head to our website to read the full review. Would love to hear your thoughts! 📚 ✨

Feel free to make yourself at home when you’re here- whether it’s some warmth you’re seeking on these cold mornings, or a calming ‘emotional support’ cuppa to hold during your session, the urn is always on and we have a broad selection of teas to choose from ☕️ ✨

As a follow-on from releasing our eating disorder resources earlier this week, we thought we’d share some of our favourite books that provide more in-depth support for young people and their families. Both books are available to flick through in our waiting area, and we do have some copies of ‘Unpack your Eating Disorder’ available to purchase 📚 🦋

Introducing our latest offering- the beginnings of our collection of resources for common presentations and treatment models we see here at Balanced. Available now for download are our info sheets on how to spot a potential eating disorder and what to expect when this is discussed with your GP and subsequent treating team 🩷💚

Have you heard? Australians now have access to the InsideOut eClinic- the world’s first free, national online clinic for eating disorder treatment!

We are hopeful that this resource will be a valuable support for clients, especially those on our waitlist, and their loved ones/carers.

Importantly, the eClinic is also designed to boost the knowledge and confidence of health professionals….local clinicians on the fence about joining our team can now receive our in-house supervision and training alongside use of the eClinic to help them feel supported in their work with clients experiencing an eating disorder 🦋

✔️ Free, 24/7 access for anyone aged 16+ in Australia
✔️ No referral needed
✔️ Designed by experts & people with lived experience, and backed by research

If you're struggling with food, body image, or exercise concerns —or you're caring for someone who is—support is here.
