makinglifemorewonderful.com.au<\/a>. This is how I approach that, and it influences my art.<\/p>\n\n\n\nI help you make sense of things \u2026 of things that have happened to you, or of what other people are saying and doing, or how you\u2019re thinking about something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I help reframe, change perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I offer practical and useful frameworks, different ways to see things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I teach the wisdom of no defence. That defence is always* attack. That vulnerability is the safest place to be. *[I\u2019m NOT talking about things like sexual or physical abuse here! Please keep yourself safe, to the best of your ability! I\u2019m talking about the 99% of time that our negatively-biased thoughts and filters tell us we\u2019re under attack.]<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I teach self-connection \u2013 which is what we REALLY want, not the myths of happiness and positive thinking \u2013 and self-compassion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I teach authenticity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I teach trauma awareness, and gentleness with ourselves around our precious and painful dysfunctions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I teach win\/win<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I teach speaking up and speaking out<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I teach \u201cno wonder\u201d, and \u201cyou make sense\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I teach \u201cbeing with\u201d, not fixing<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I teach that it\u2019s not your fault \u2013 AND that it\u2019s your responsibility. And that the kind of responsibility I\u2019m talking about is actually freedom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I teach by modelling all these things \u2013 vulnerability, compassion, connection, authenticity, courage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I teach by telling my own stories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I teach by being IN there with you, fighting the same battles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I believe in people\u2019s inherent \u201cgoodness\u201d \u2013 by which I mean, no-one is out there intentionally trying to hurt you, they\u2019re trying to manage there own stuff. That doesn\u2019t mean you don\u2019t get caught in the cross-fire \u2026 but the pain is less when you\u2019re not telling yourself they\u2019re trying to kill you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I believe in people wanting to give, in preferring love, when given the choice, and the ability to choose it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
