SELF-IDENTITY: Interested in finding true success in every area of your life? Then it starts with the who, what, where, when and why of your life.
Who are you?
What do you want and need?
Where you are heading?
When do you want to get there?
Why are you blocked?
|
When you define the truth of who you are you will feel more fulfilled, experience more contentment and satisfaction, build your success personally and professionally, and live the kind of balance and happiness that we are all looking for these days.
We will work with you to build a strong and sustainable sense of who you are using our Self-Identity Map. Working from this map helps you build, rebuild, clarify and fine tune your sense of self-definition. You will increase your self-awareness, clarify your needs and intentions, increase your decision-making ability, modify your critical, self-defeating thoughts and behaviours, and feel in charge of your life choices. When you connect with yourself in this powerful way you will be successful in your life, no matter where you go and what you do.
| “Lasting change, personal renewal, is powered by inner awareness.” Dr. Toby Silverton |
BALANCE: These days most of us are juggling a myriad of roles and responsibilities 24/7. True balance comes from a sense of inner strength, knowing, resilience, courage and power.
We work with our clients to achieve and maintain their own personal sense of balance and equilibrium. We focus on energy management, stress management, and life management including planning, goal setting, decision making and managing priorities.
However, life just doesn’t hold still while we try to achieve perfect balance! Balance isn’t static so we build in flexibility and resilience with our clients. When life balance shifts our client’s know how to realign their priorities in response.
| “It’s bigger than balance…balance is more than just juggling the ‘stuff’ of your life.” Dr. Bev McLagan |
The result of working together is that you come to know what you really want and need in your life by exploring all of your personal environments – home, work, family, school, friends, finances, relationships, relaxation and recreation. You will reestablish life priorities and develop strategies to make sure you keep your health and happiness at the top of your list. The result is a dynamic sense of personal equilibrium, knowing and calm that can keep pace with your ever changing life.
BURNOUT: Burnout leaves you exhausted, depleted of energy, stressed to the max and feeling trapped. Burnout comes from unrelenting chronic stress or from dealing with a situation that is draining you of all your resources. Burnout can be experienced in every area of life and can result from varying life situations. It’s important to note, burnout doesn’t only effect professionals, almost anyone can be at risk for developing burnout.
If you are experiencing burnout or chronic stress our goal is twofold: first we will deal with the immediate impact of burnout on your whole life and your health and second, we will work with you to develop a new lifestyle designed to maximize your energy, deal with stress effectively, and avoid burnout in the future. The biggest change you will make is to resolve patterns & beliefs, both past and present, that add to your stress and hold you back.
Burnout destroys your quality of life and can lead to serious medical complications. If you think you are on the brink of, or experiencing burnout, it’s time to act now.
WOMENS’ LIVES: Dealing with women and the complexities of their lives has been, and continues to be, our life’s work. Our education and experience has been tailored to understanding and helping women improve the quality of their lives. Our focus both academically and clinically has been on women’s psychology, women’s issues and personal development. From presenting seminars, designing therapeutic programmes, teaching & training, and in our private practice, we’ve successfully worked with it all: self-identity, personal renewal, relationships, family issues, eating disorders, depression, stress & anxiety, life transitions, aging, surviving life shocks, burnout, and balance.
Our work empowers women to understand and feel good about who they are and to pursue what they want and need in life. We support and encourage our clients to reinvent and reenergize their whole lives. We believe in women’s power to create lives that truly reflect their dreams, goals, and aspirations.
EATING DISORDERS: We have worked with women with eating disorders since 1982 as therapists and educators. We are proud of our success with many, many clients who have gone on to live rich, successful and fulfilling lives. We see the eating disorder as a symptom of the bigger picture, and so we focus on the person and not the disorder.
If you want to work with us privately, you need to be truly ready to make big changes in your life, have already given up many destructive patterns, and you need to be beyond thinking that food is the way to cope with life. We do not believe that recovery is a lifelong process. We are serious about our clients moving on with their lives and not looking back. If you are that serious about life without an eating disorder then we want to work with you.
| Life after an eating disorder should only mean a life fully lived. |
