'Counselling or psychological therapy can focus on reducing symptoms but not address the underlying issue.

'Is it really necessary to beat ourselves up emotionally after we have made a so-called mistake? And if not, why do we do it?' - Brendan Mooney Psychologist
'What if we were to eradicate alcohol from the planet, other than for non-drinking purposes? How many issues and crises and dire circumstances would be prevented if we did? Of course, without alcohol we would need to address the underlying issues driving us to drink, but the world would be much healthier if we learned to live without needing to resort to a chemical to alter us in order to take the edge off life.' - Brendan Mooney Psychologist

'Today anyone can start a webpage and write derogatory or hateful comments about another, or attempt to tarnish their reputation with lies. Whilst there are adequate laws in Australia to address this, in reality little action is being taken to hold those who choose to be abusive accountable.
