Jan Bayliss Counselling

Continuing my conversation with Melinda Arnold, CEO of Films4Change and director at Studio Kreadiv ; this is the third and final part of our 3 part series and centres around ‘It’s Just a Choice’, the series which Mel and the Films4Change team developed and which demonstrates how it becomes a choice in all relationships to be abusive as well as modelling ways to be able to change those behaviours. Being role models for our children is also discussed and we look forward to another chat in the future about the series Ness which I worked on with Mel and the team.

This episode is Part 2 of a three part discussion with Melinda Arnold from Films4Change, which explores how the rewarding benefits of volunteering can steer a person into finding ways to readjust and begin to know who they truly are.
We also explore the healing benefits which came up for Melinda as a result of producing the ‘It’s Just a Choice’series. This was Films4Change's first series (it is freely available on line at https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLpC1QlguAvUs8iSQLpTH325i4K_pGA_4t ) and was created by Melinda, Jerry and their friend Val. 'It's Just a Choice' was taken largely from Mel and Jerry's lived experience of domestic and family violence and offers alternative, more constructive and non-violent choices for men who choose to use violent and controlling behaviour in their relationships.

Stressors relating to family gatherings is the topic of this podcast.  I discuss with my producer Jerry, Films4Change, the challenges people may face when they are attending a family gathering such as at Christmas time.  We talk through the differences in others, even though we are all family members, along with respecting yourself first and then being more able to understand and respect differences in others. Ways to be able to prepare beforehand in mind and body are explored in order to have a more grounded presence on the day.

Welcome to part 2 of this 2 part series, where we take a more in-depth look at what was raised in podcast episode 6 ‘Having Open and Honest Conversations with children’ which you can find at https://podcast.janbaylisscounselling.com.au/e/feelings/My producer Jerry from Films4Change and I delve further into the benefits of having what may be deemed to be difficult conversations with children, as significant people in a child’s life may not find it easy to talk about topics related to grief and loss, etc. Jerry did begin to wander off on tangents all about Jedi’s and the battle between the light and dark sides of the force which really did make the discussion a lot more interesting with that warm touch of humour. (Ed's note - haha thanks Jan :) )As always, thank you for listening.
