Today is Wear It Purple Day, and this year’s theme is Colours of Courage.Courage looks like a young person speaking up. It also looks like the adults around them making that safe to do. As practitioners, trainers and supervisors, that part is ours. Safe spaces aren’t accidental, we build them, in our rooms, our language and our practice.Purple today, and every day, for LGBTQIA+SB young people.

The hardest cases aren't the ones in the textbooks. They're the ones where you feel something shift in your own body. Where the client's story touches something unresolved in you. Where you leave the session carrying weight you can't quite name.This is the work beneath the work.We don't just talk about interventions and treatment plans. We explore what happens in your nervous system when a client's trauma activates your own protective responses. We examine the moments when your theoretical knowledge can't reach the lived experience unfolding in real time.Because your clients don't just need your clinical skills—they need you to be able to stay present when their pain is unbearable. To hold space when everything in you wants to fix, rescue, or retreat.Here's what develops through experiential supervision:• Recognising when your own process is interfering with the client's• Somatic awareness of your therapeutic presence• Trusting the wisdom of uncertainty and not-knowing• Integrating Process Work principles into your relational approach• Navigating complex trauma presentations with grounded confidenceOver 20 years of clinical experience. Board-approved supervisor. EMDR consultant in training.Book supervision with Ben:bencrebertpsychology.com.au/services/admin@bencrebertpsychology.com.au0435436757

A few years ago, a principal said to me: “What are you doing doing women’s work?”It landed harder than I expected.I’ve been sitting with what that question reveals about how we value care, how boys are trained out of tenderness, and how entitlement gets normalised (often quietly, often relationally).I wrote about it here: bencrebertpsychology.com.au/what-are-you-doing-doing-womens-work/If this touches something for you -whether you’re a man, a parent, a clinician, or just someone trying to live with more humanity - I’d love to hear what you notice.bencrebertpsychology.com.auadmin@bencrebertpsychology.com.au0435436757#MaitlandNSW #PortStephens #HunterValley #ClinicalPsychologist #TraumaInformed #NervousSystemRegulation
I love the attitude Ethan Hawke expresses here. There is a kind of friendliness and openness to the anxious or doubtful parts within. When we make a relationship with the parts of us we transform war and inner conflict into connection and creativity. Compassion flows within and the between us.#innerwork#partswork#emdr#huntervalley#mentalhealth#maitland
