Jan Bayliss Counselling

In this, part 1 of a 2 part series, we take a more in-depth look at what was raised in episode 6 'Having Open and Honest Conversations with children (https://podcast.janbaylisscounselling.com.au/e/feelings/) as I discuss this and other aspects around communication and the importance of safe and healthy sharing of feelings, especially for children. I also discuss my book, 'The Good/Bad Feelings Diary' and how that can be such an excellent resource for children and parents alike.Jerry and I ended up talking far longer than expected so we decided to split session into 2 parts, with part 2 following at the usual time next week.As always, thank you for listening and I appreciate all your feedback. If you are interested in my book 'The Good/Bad Feelings Diary' you can find more information and ordering at https://www.janbaylisscounselling.com.au/author

Another great chat with Jerry, my producer from Films4Change, the topic being ‘Resistance to change’ which ask the question “are we really able to change”.  The discussion explores the difficulties men in particular find themselves in around being able to have an open conversation around their feelings with significant people in their lives.  Blocks to communication leading to suicidal thoughts and feelings were discussed with Jerry reflecting on the way the Taking Responsibility programs he attended with Relationships Australia allowed for some men to be able to more fully express deeper emotions, which over time can build resilience and emotional maturity. As always I do love to hear from you and appreciate any feedback. Thanks for listening.

We're adding in a new format for my podcasts where my producer Jerry from Films4Change (www.films4changeinc.org.au ) asks me questions around my podcast topics. Today we revisit episode 5 and enjoy a more in-depth discussion around the meaning of core values and how they play out in our lives. We look at how learned core values in childhood are stored unknowingly and stay with us in the later stages of our lives, becoming ingrained in our way of being, especially with regard to relationships.  A core values exercise I use in my counselling practice with clients is talked through. It is used to unpack and understand more fully how core values and beliefs are working for an individual and the impact they may have on relationships. I hope you enjoy and as ever, if you have any questions or feedback please do not hesitate to get in touch.

In my podcast today I look at self worth and how we may value and perceive ourselves.  Are outside influences playing a part in altering positive ways of thinking and believing? A new way of self belief, awareness and recognition of the importance of self worth on wellbeing is explored.

My podcast today explores what it may be like to be able to create the best possible life you could imagine for yourself.  After all it is YOUR life, a life that is uniquely personal, where you will sometimes stumble and other times soar.  It explores ways of discovering more of who you really are to allow your world to change for the better.
And please stay tuned afterwards as I talk with my ‘audio guy’ Jerry, Films4Change Inc (see www.fims4changeinc.org) as we have an in-depth chat about this podcast on creating the best possible life you could imagine.  It was such an enjoyable discussion.

The topic of this podcast today is "what would it be like to know you could truly believe in yourself". What might be stopping you from accomplishing this ? What may be stopping you believing you could achieve anything or everything you desire ? With the struggles some people may have endured in their lifetime, I can imagine that this would be a very big ask.
And please stay tuned afterwards as I talk with my 'audio guy' Jerry as we have a chat about the latest episode and look ahead to what's coming up. I've worked with Jerry and his wife Melinda for many years and together they run Films4Change Inc (see www.films4changeinc.org ) creating video content around social and community issues. 

This podcast examines various ways in which healthy communication can be blocked in any relationship.  This can be unconscious, perhaps a normal way of speaking or it can be a conscious and sometimes a threatening way of communicating with another person.  Recognising blocks can be beneficial in enhancing and strengthening all our relationships.

This podcast looks at the way feelings of ‘not being good enough’ can prevent a person from being able to achieve their goals as well as the way that feelings of shame and guilt could be playing out in their lives.It also explores the blocks that we can build up in our minds and how they could be working to prevent a more positive way of being.
