Welcome Readers, old and new … it’s Spring in the Southern Hemisphere!
Time for that famous phrase “spring clean” – making sure things are not just tidied away or half-done, but thoroughly cleaned out ready for summer.
Do you want to lose weight, a little or lots?
Do you want to stop feeling guilty, or ‘out of control’ [...]

One of my favorite lines in hypnosis is the idea that you “know much more than you know you know”… at least unconsciously.

What the **** does that mean really?
What does it mean to “get over” something?
What about “sort it out”?

Evidence has been building that shows a steady decline in empathy in doctors as they go through their [...]
This self help website attracts readers worldwide, from the US, Canada, Australia and UK, along with about 30 other countries so far. This is the main value of this site.
A few of my readers come from Adelaide, South Australia, where I have my solo counselling practice.
There are some things I can offer locally that I [...]
I ended Part 1 of this series by asking when someone might WANT to have anorexia.
When might you actually want to be repulsed by the thought of eating food?
Put another way, could anorexia ever be “useful”?
Well it is a standard question that I have asked of every so-called problem that I have been told about [...]

With the recent studies showing antidepressants to be far less effective than previously reported, this leaves a big gap in the field.
What can take the place of antidepressants?
What solutions are already out there for depression?
What books, courses, websites, resources of any type are there for “curing” people who have been given the label “Depression”?
I’d like [...]
