A Resource for Self awareness and Social responsibility
Good Therapy Australia is an integrity-based company, dedicated to making good therapy more accessible, enabling Australians to find the best possible support for awakening awareness, creativity and responsibility. We believe our attitudes and actions as individuals foreshadow the health and wellbeing of our communities - locally and globally - and that limiting one's world to one's self has never been a sustainable option. Paradoxically, taking responsibility for one's self is the most profound and effective way of making a positive contribution. |

As they begin to make meaning of the various threads of their lives, clients might also experience moments of contact with the numinous, a sense of something larger than themselves, moments that feel like grace or enlightenment. The primordial role of spirituality in psychic wholeness has long been familiar in Jungian psychology and in psychotherapeutic methods that have their origins in Jung’s work. read philosohpical enquiry |

Influenced by idealists Tolstoy and Thoreau, Christopher McCandless, aged 22, finishes college and, instead of pursuing a promising career, chooses to abandon society in order to live more authentically. Donating his money to charity, he goes on the road and for 2 years, finds his home in nature and friends in hippies, a farmer, a young girl, and a lonely old man – all of whom benefit from their encounter with this 'free spirit'. Faced with difficult and often dangerous situations, Chris finds peace, joy and beauty in the wild of Alaska, and meaning in the maxim “A man must test himself at least once in his life”. Though saddened by the circumstances of his tragic demise, and the pain his family went through, I was inspired by his courage and commitment to living simply, and moved by his ultimate discovery that “happiness is only real when it is shared”.

 Question |
|
|
In my work I encounter people who admit to being 'frightened' of me. I am a female who has lived an independent and confident life. I am assertive but not aggressive - I don't get angry at people, but I don't suffer fools easily ... Should I be concerned about this feedback? Are their feelings of insecurity my problem? How can I respond to insecure people without giving them a 'free ticket' to be slack? answer |
