In this, the 6th episode in a series of shorts produced by Films4Change about Ness, a young girl who learns to identify and manage her feelings through her conversations with various Australian animals, Ness is found sitting up in the tree talking with Koala, beautifully voiced by Evie the daughter of Mel, CEO Films4Change. Ness is telling Koala about her nervousness and shyness, knowing her mum is having people over.  Koala tells Ness that she talks to her mum which helps and Ness is able to acknowledge that it could also help her to share her feelings with her mum.
A beautiful line in this episode is "Feelings pass like the clouds in the sky".  Evie also shares her tips on how she overcomes her nervousness.

This is the fourth episode in a series of shorts produced by Films4Change around a young girl called Ness who learns to identify and manage her feelings through her conversations with various Australian animals.
Today Ness talks to wombat, beautifully voiced and characterised by actor Leofric Kingsford-Smith, about her feelings around having to clean her room and her mum calling her cranky and lazy.
Mel and I again discuss the importance of acknowledging and affirming a child's feelings as well as talking around how adults labelling and name-calling children (i.e cranky/lazy etc) can be counter-productive as well as being genuinely hurtful. 
This scene ends in such a lovely way too - with Ness giving wombat her own advice about how to clean his burrow :) Tasks can be so much easier when we tackle them with joyfulness rather than resentment !

Today I have a lovely discussion with Melinda Arnold, CEO Films4Change, about the beautiful Ness series of 7 online episodes dealing with building resilience in children from a young age. Ness is a young girl who, in each episode,  interacts with Australian animals and shares about her feelings. Each animal, beautifully drawn by Belinda Lindhardt of Creative Hardt , is able to assist Ness in finding another way to deal with some of her strong emotions. 
The entire series is available on the Films4Change Youtube channel at

In my podcast released today, it is my pleasure to introduce to you a man who I completed my relationship counselling training with over 20 years ago.  His name is John Dimond of John Dimond Counselling.  John talks about the life changing experience he encountered during our training, the benefits of undertaking Gestalt body work therapy as well as learning techniques that allow for a deeper respect, understanding and connection to all clients during the course.  John also talked about a reframe he uses in the counselling process which is ‘a breakthrough which looks like a breakdown’ where being able to trust in the process is explored in the counselling relationship.  Being brave to be vulnerable and permission to allow change is discussed, along with the privilege it is to be on a client’s journey.I do hope you enjoy this discussion, which may give some insight into the client/counsellor role.  As always, thanks so much for listening and you can contact me at mail@janbaylisscounselling.com.au.
