Supporting vs. Helping

Particularly when it comes to our closest loved ones, we often interchange the terms support and help as meaning the same thing. However, what if we considered there is an important difference between supporting someone and helping them?

What is Anger?
​

Anger is not something we express ‘by accident’ or ‘randomly’ but is a specifically engineered choice that gives us exactly what we ask for… which is all explained in this video.

Awareness Begins with
​Self-Awareness

Awareness is king but it first starts with self-awareness. For otherwise we often end up choosing the same old things again and again, imprisoned by situations that keep repeating over and over... eventually wearing us down. It’s no wonder we give up sometimes!

How to Increase Self-Awareness

Building self-awareness skills can be part of how you live on a daily basis, and you can do it whether you work as a mechanic, school teacher, student, lawyer, stay-at-home parent, brickie, waiter, professional… and more.
​So where is the best place to start?

What Are the Underlying
​Causes of Anger?

What if we considered the underlying cause of anger is actually hurt? If this is so, is it possible to prevent anger altogether if we deal with our hurts about life and people?

How to Support Someone with Anger

What is Anxiety?

Anxiety is huge and increasing at a rapid rate. Even children are experiencing anxiety more intensely than ever before. So why are we not coping in modern times with all our know-how and seeming intelligence about how to live as human beings?

​The Power of Choice

Do you have difficulty making good choices? In this video Psychologist Brendan Mooney explores the ‘behind the scenes’ of life, uncovering the one choice we make before everything else happens.

The Power of Sensitivity
​

Have you ever been accused of being ‘over sensitive’ or ‘highly sensitive’? Sensitivity is often misunderstood to be something that is meek or mild, yet this could not be further from the truth..
​

Anger is a Choice

Whilst we may all relate to experiencing some form of uncontrollable anger at times and to varying degrees, is it possible that this is due to a choice that we make? In other words, if X happens is it just a foregone conclusion that we get angry?

Anger and Blaming Others

Have you ever heard someone say ‘Stop blaming others, what is anger a sign of?’ Probably not, but talking about anger and blame is super important considering that blame actually prevents us from dealing with our issues in life. 

Dealing With Someone With
​Anger Issues

Brendan Mooney Psychologist offers practical tips on how to deal with an angry person and shares how it is possible to relate to them in a loving way that is in no way taking them on but neither is it backing down.
