I shared this story yesterday with a client as it was relevant to what was going on for them. Back when I was around 27 (just yesterday then ?) I was living in London, in a toxic abusive relationship that was draining me and I was burnt out. I went to go and see someone for an energy healing and on the way out of the underground, as I was walking up the stairs I saw this shop in…
I was in a workshop the other day where a clinical psychologist was talking about Post Traumatic Growth (PTG) and showed this picture of a broken bowl, repaired with gold or silver lacquer, called Kintsukuroi.

Broken window theory basically states that wherever there is a broken window, criminals are more likely to swoop in on that area to cause more damage to property, tag with graffiti and continue to trash the place.

But in among all of this, there are just some days where you feel like shite. And when that happens, and you know so many different tools and techniques…
On 3 September I attended the First Responders Suicide Prevention Forum in Perth, leading up to World Suicide Prevention Day next week on 10 September. The theme was One World Connected. While this isn’t my usual happy post, I posted something similar last year. This topic is a really important one and needs to be talked about openly, by everyone. The current suicide rate is almost double the road toll – 360 deaths per year in Western Australia, almost one…
