Anger and Aggression

At what point do your acts of anger and aggression go beyond what is reasonable and start to negatively impact your relationships and personal life? Whether it be road rage, verbal abuse or even physical acts of aggression. Being unable to control our anger effectively can lead to terrible consequences for our loved ones and ourselves.

Anxiety

We can all be apprehensive about situations that seem horrible on the surface, but are never usually as bad as expected. However, for some this anguish can cause severe and long-lasting distress, and impair their ability to function in personal and social settings.

Boost Your Functionality

A goal common to all of us is to reach success, whether it be in work, school, sport, and social settings. We crave that feeling of accomplishment and reward after we put in so much effort and dedication. However, it can be difficult to maintain a constant and high level of motivation throughout these endeavours, and our performance levels can fluctuate wildly.

Burnout

After repeated exposure to a scenario such as work, or parenting, we may feel tired, cynical, stressed and depressed, and left with little desire to return to the situation. Especially if we feel we lack control over what we do, are perceived to be treated unfairly, feel overloaded and do not receive the support we feel we deserve.

Chronic Pain

Chronic pain affects 1 in 5 Australians. It is a terrible illness that can take control of someone’s life and cause many difficulties and discomfort. Usually the result of an injury or disease, pain can linger and alter the way life is lived and limit the potential for happiness and satisfaction.

Confidence & Self-Esteem Issues

Self-esteem is important as it is the way we look at ourselves and how much value we place on our worth. People with high self-esteem will regard themselves positively and will be forgiving when mistakes are made and appreciate imperfections. However, those with low self-esteem and confidence issues can be highly critical of themselves and their flaws, and will find it difficult interacting with others.

Control Your Sleep-Wake Cycle

Your ability to stay awake and to be alert, or to sleep peacefully and restfully when we want to largely depends on our brain function. Recent studies have found that almost a third of Australians are suffering from some form of sleep deprivation or changes in natural sleep habits.

Depression

Being sad and temperamental is so common that it is unsurprising that we all experience these feelings almost every day. But when these feelings start to become regular and intrude on relationships, work, and personal satisfaction, then we should be alarmed.

Disorders

It is important to understand that by having a ‘personality disorder,’ there is nothing inherently wrong with your personality. Rather, it refers to difficulties and patterns of thinking that you and many others share in common due to extreme emotions, behaviour, and relationships.

Grief & Loss

One of the most crushing feelings of despair and sadness one may experience can be due to the loss of a loved one or another tragic life event. Suddenly losing something that you hold value can have a drastic impact on your life and day-to-day functioning.

Improve Your Personal Relationships

The relationships we share with one another make us uniquely human, and for many of us, the bonds and friendships we share with others give our lives meaning and purpose. But as those relationships can be built, they can also fall, and their recovery and maintenance are a skill that is essential at home and at work.

Regulate Your Stress Response

Our Brains are wired to trigger a stress response for when we feel unsafe, vulnerable, insecure or threatened in any way. This is a useful survival warning system for detection of potential threats or situations when our lives are in danger.

Trauma

A traumatic event or experience can happen to anyone, at any stage of their lives, and depending on its severity can cause a multitude of negative reactions – from mild anxiety and stress to PTSD and physical symptoms.
