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. |

Tessa Marshall is a Counsellor and Psychotherapist in private practice in St Ives and Wahroonga, Sydney. She is also a board member, supervisor and volunteer face-to-face counsellor at Lifeline, a supervisor and trainer on the National Domestic Violence line. "As a counsellor I seek to help you build on your strengths, to tap into your own inner resources. The first session is usually an exploration of why you seek counselling, your current situation, what you want to see change and, most importantly, a rapport/trust-building session. Often the presenting problem is not the underlying issue so ongoing sessions explore whatever you, as the client, “bring into the room” but will always reflect the goals outlined in session one."

Technology for creativity |
| |
|
 |
Psychodrama is a technology for creativity. It pumps life into tired old bones enabling them to dance and sing with the power of life. Psychodrama sets up an authentic and sustainable life. It does this by tapping into each person's natural spontaneity that lies at the core of their being. That spontaneity allows people to do remarkable things, truly remarkable things. read philosohpical enquiry |

| August Rush |
| |
|
 |
Some people might find the sentiment in this urban fairy tale a little cliche, but I liked the film for the music more so than the story line. The idea that "music is all around" and "all we have to do is listen" captured my imagination, then took it out for a spin. I've found that I recognise truths more readily when they are communicated via the subtle, requiring me to engage on a level that somehow bypasses the rational mind. Not every one is comfortable with the apparent loss of control - I guess it requires a degree of trust. The boy character in August Rush was beautifully acted by Freddie Highmore. I rarely watch a movie twice. This one I happily sat through a second time just a week later - and loved every moment. Jess Bryan tell us about a film that moved you |

Lauren Burns
The Zip Bag is the first in a range of environmentally aware, fashion forward products from the new Lauren label designed by Olympic Gold medalist Lauren Burns. The compact and stylish tote bag neatly folds away into a zip wallet small enough to fit in any handbag. The Zip Bag provides a convenient, green alternative to plastic bags. "Every year 20 million Australians use around 5 billion plastic
check-out bags. Plastic bag litter is lethal, killing at least 100,000
birds, whales, seals and turtles each year." RRP $24.95 (includes postage to anywhere in Australia)
Lauren will donate $10 to Good Therapy Australia for each Zip Bag purchased through Good Therapy's online book shop.

 Question |
|
|
Can you educate me on the purpose of the initial consultation? The psychologists I’ve seen, used the hour to get background information, and tell me what to expect in the following sessions. I thought the first meeting would be an opportunity for us to get to know each other - to see how we felt about working together - but the impression I get is that by just turning up, I have already made a firm commitment. answer |
