'Discrimination comes in many forms. One of if not the most common is family discrimination which is when we allow a different standard of relationship for family members than we would for work colleagues or close friends. For example, do you put up with abuse from family members that you would never put up with if it were a work colleague?' - Brendan Mooney Psychologist

'If we do not claim what is true, everything that is not will fill in its place. The particular flavour of what is not true will vary from person to person, but ultimately it is our lack of claiming what we know to be true that allows for the mess to be created in the first place.' - Brendan Mooney Psychologist

'The moment we react to someone or a situation our view becomes tainted. That means that we cannot but project onto the situation what we want to see rather than truly observe what is there to be seen.' - Brendan Mooney Psychologist

​'Supporting people on how to handle their sensitivity in a world that is often intense is key to addressing anxiety'.
 - Brendan Mooney Psychologist

​'S
ociety places enormous value on 'getting tasks over the line' such as work deadlines, getting the kids to school on time, paying our bills diligently, keeping a neat and tidy house etc...but VERY LITTLE value is placed on truly loving our bodies, especially if this should in any way disrupt our performance in 'getting tasks over the line'. What an absurd world we live in!' - Brendan Mooney Psychologist

​'We can choose to change our behaviours, clothes, and outside environment. We can choose to go on holidays or change jobs, get a new partner or have a bath at the end of the day. However, unless we choose to change the actual quality we perform all these activities in, we have not truly made a different choice, but instead merely improved our landscape, so to speak, on the outside'.
- Brendan Mooney Psychologist

​'Realising
 we have a CHOICE is very freeing to the otherwise imprisoning belief that life just happens to us and we have no control over it'. - Brendan Mooney Psychologist

​'When people hear the word ‘detached’ it can bring up beliefs about being heartless, clinical or cold towards another. However being detached is simply not taking on another’s issue/s, understanding that it is their issue not yours
 to deal with. Whilst we can provide all the support a person requires, ultimately it is up to them to address whatever is troubling them…so to never take on their issue as your own and work through it. Otherwise the ‘helper’ essentially becomes a ‘human sponge’, taking on everyone else’s issues under the belief that somehow they are doing good.' - Brendan Mooney Psychologist

​'Food is a daily part of our lives, hence the importance of developing a relationship with food that is truly supportive for our health and wellbeing.'
- Brendan Mooney Psychologist
