A Resource for Self awareness and Social responsibility
Good Therapy Australia is a registered health education charity, 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. |

Lisa Griffiths is a Psychotherapist and Counsellor in private practice in Bondi Junction, Sydney. While Lisa's work as a therapist has been influenced by psychodynamic, existential, gestalt and systemic approaches, she will collaborate with you to create an individual and integrated process. "Whether you are struggling to cope, facing change, experiencing relationship difficulties or simply wish to discover more about yourself, I invite you to share your story with me. I believe each person has the capacity to bring about meaningful change for themselves. With awareness comes the possibility of creating something different for yourself. Together, we will work with curiosity and compassion to discover and understand more about the choices you make."

Martha "Marcy May" Marlene
|
| |
|
 |
This film follows the journey of a young woman, Martha “Marcy May” Marlene’s escape from an abusive cult and her attempt to reintegrate into suburban life. Finding sanctuary in the home of her estranged sister and brother-in-law, Martha struggles to reconnect with her family as she refuses to reveal her troubled past and her behaviour becomes increasingly erratic. Haunted by the memories of her ordeal, Martha’s internal world begins to unravel and she suffers episodes of paranoia and delusion. A gripping story that explores the psyche of the human experience and the lasting effects of trauma on the mind, Martha Marcy May Marlene is an equally disturbing and affecting film that is sure to leave an impression. As a psychology graduate, I felt the film provided a fascinating glimpse into one woman's development and spiral into mental illness; serving as an apt reminder of the fragility of the human mind.

 Question |
|
|
How do we determine when feeling angry or getting angry is an appropriate response? I would like to experience a natural response, but having seen the damage that out of control anger can do, I'm not sure I can trust it. answer |
