Finding a way through

Every person experiences the ups and downs of life in different ways. If you’re feeling troubled or don’t know what to do, know that there are resources available and professional people in your community you can talk to. Sometimes friends and family can help, other times we benefit from the more skilled and objective help from a counsellor, therapist, teacher or support group.

There is no right way or wrong way, we all do the best we can. When you make the decision to commit to your wellness you will find people to help and support you.

Choice Theory

US psychiatrist William Glasser has written a book about a new psychology of personal freedom called “Choice Theory”. It highlights that by taking responsibility for what we think and feel we stop blaming and/or controlling others and in turn create healthier relationships with people in our lives. Glasser believes that the primary cause of mental unwellness (which commonly leads to illness) is troubled relationships, and that by learning to communicate more honestly and effectively with others we free ourselves to lead happier lives. Choice Theory is a reader-friendly informative book outlining how we can get back in the driver’s seat of our lives. www.wglasser.com/whatisct.htm
