Burnout is an occupational hazard. Prolonged stress, overwork, uncertainty, survival pressures and pushing through crisis fatigue (a population-wide condition after a global pandemic) can be a recipe for psychological exhaustion.

Bullying and psychological abuse is all about the absence of things, rather than the presence of things.

People know when they are the victim of covert bullying and abuse.

When Personal Power comes up against Positional Power, and the person with the Positional Power has many narcissistic traits, the drive to diminish the Personal Power of the other becomes almost an obsession – which is subsequently why the target of bullying feels targeted – because they are!

Narcissistic abuse by a life partner can be traumatising. It can cause deep moral injury, and leave a survivor experiencing a massive burden of loss, which needs to be grieved.

What I aim to do is to teach survivors how to be their own therapist by:

1. Orienting to strengths

2. Attending to pain

3. Taking charge of the narrative of their lives

Counselling is: holding a healing space to support and empower a person to find the best way forward. My mission is to help people find their courage and confidence again, and get back behind the steering wheel of their lives.

PTSD is notoriously difficult to treat. We pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and try a treatment that we've not yet tried. Keep Trying Everything

Mental health changes such as depression, anxiety, grief, trauma or PTSD can lead to abnormal behaviour. Abnormal behaviour is a normal response to abnormal learning conditions.

Jeanette’s experience of unengaged parenting and poor familial communication is anything but unique. Many people grow up as “the black sheep” of the family because they have learned differently to their parents or siblings.

Let's allow ourselves, for our own sakes, to see that people change. Let's assume that everything is impermanent - that we are inside a human existence inside a universe that is constantly shifting.
