This is the fourth episode in a series of shorts produced by Films4Change around a young girl called Ness who learns to identify and manage her feelings through her conversations with various Australian animals.

Mel and I again discuss the importance of acknowledging and affirming a child's feelings as well as talking around how adults labelling and name-calling children (i.e cranky/lazy etc) can be counter-productive as well as being genuinely hurtful.

This scene ends in such a lovely way too - with Ness giving wombat her own advice about how to clean his burrow :) Tasks can be so much easier when we tackle them with joyfulness rather than resentment !

Jan Bayliss and John Dimond

Mon, 13 Feb 2023 08:30:00 +1100

In my podcast released today, it is my pleasure to introduce to you a man who I completed my relationship counselling training with over 20 years ago. His name is John Dimond of John Dimond Counselling. John talks about the life changing experience he encountered during our training, the benefits of undertaking Gestalt body work therapy as well as learning techniques that allow for a deeper respect, understanding and connection to all clients during the course. John also talked about a reframe he uses in the counselling process which is ‘a breakthrough which looks like a breakdown’ where being able to trust in the process is explored in the counselling relationship. Being brave to be vulnerable and permission to allow change is discussed, along with the privilege it is to be on a client’s journey.

I do hope you enjoy this discussion, which may give some insight into the client/counsellor role. As always, thanks so much for listening and you can contact me at mail@janbaylisscounselling.com.au.

This episode is Part 2 of a three part discussion with Melinda Arnold from Films4Change, which explores how the rewarding benefits of volunteering can steer a person into finding ways to readjust and begin to know who they truly are.

Mon, 12 Dec 2022 08:30:00 +1100

Welcome to part 2 of this 2 part series, where we take a more in-depth look at what was raised in podcast episode 6 ‘Having Open and Honest Conversations with children’ which you can find at https://podcast.janbaylisscounselling.com.au/e/feelings/
My producer Jerry from Films4Change and I delve further into the benefits of having what may be deemed to be difficult conversations with children, as significant people in a child’s life may not find it easy to talk about topics related to grief and loss, etc. Jerry did begin to wander off on tangents all about Jedi’s and the battle between the light and dark sides of the force which really did make the discussion a lot more interesting with that warm touch of humour. (Ed's note - haha thanks Jan :) )

As always, thank you for listening. If you are interested in my book 'The Good/Bad Feelings Diary' you can find more information and ordering at https://www.janbaylisscounselling.com.au/author

Open Honest Conversations - Part 1

Mon, 05 Dec 2022 08:30:00 +1100

In this, part 1 of a 2 part series, we take a more in-depth look at what was raised in episode 6 'Having Open and Honest Conversations with children (https://podcast.janbaylisscounselling.com.au/e/feelings/) as I discuss this and other aspects around communication and the importance of safe and healthy sharing of feelings, especially for children. I also discuss my book, 'The Good/Bad Feelings Diary' and how that can be such an excellent resource for children and parents alike.
Jerry and I ended up talking far longer than expected so we decided to split session into 2 parts, with part 2 following at the usual time next week.
As always, thank you for listening and I appreciate all your feedback. If you are interested in my book 'The Good/Bad Feelings Diary' you can find more information and ordering at https://www.janbaylisscounselling.com.au/author

Resistance to Change ?

Mon, 28 Nov 2022 12:05:00 +1100

Another great chat with Jerry, my producer from Films4Change, the topic being ‘Resistance to change’ which ask the question “are we really able to change”. The discussion explores the difficulties men in particular find themselves in around being able to have an open conversation around their feelings with significant people in their lives. Blocks to communication leading to suicidal thoughts and feelings were discussed with Jerry reflecting on the way the Taking Responsibility programs he attended with Relationships Australia allowed for some men to be able to more fully express deeper emotions, which over time can build resilience and emotional maturity. As always I do love to hear from you and appreciate any feedback. Thanks for listening.

Core Values - a deeper discussion

Mon, 21 Nov 2022 08:30:00 +1100

We're adding in a new format for my podcasts where my producer Jerry from Films4Change (www.films4changeinc.org.au ) asks me questions around my podcast topics. Today we revisit episode 5 and enjoy a more in-depth discussion around the meaning of core values and how they play out in our lives. We look at how learned core values in childhood are stored unknowingly and stay with us in the later stages of our lives, becoming ingrained in our way of being, especially with regard to relationships. A core values exercise I use in my counselling practice with clients is talked through. It is used to unpack and understand more fully how core values and beliefs are working for an individual and the impact they may have on relationships. I hope you enjoy and as ever, if you have any questions or feedback please do not hesitate to get in touch.

A new way of self-belief ?

Mon, 14 Nov 2022 08:30:00 +1100

In my podcast today I look at self worth and how we may value and perceive ourselves. Are outside influences playing a part in altering positive ways of thinking and believing? A new way of self belief, awareness and recognition of the importance of self worth on wellbeing is explored.

Could you create the best possible life for yourself ?

Mon, 07 Nov 2022 08:30:00 +1100

My podcast today explores what it may be like to be able to create the best possible life you could imagine for yourself. After all it is YOUR life, a life that is uniquely personal, where you will sometimes stumble and other times soar. It explores ways of discovering more of who you really are to allow your world to change for the better.

And please stay tuned afterwards as I talk with my ‘audio guy’ Jerry, Films4Change Inc (see www.fims4changeinc.org) as we have an in-depth chat about this podcast on creating the best possible life you could imagine. It was such an enjoyable discussion.

What would it be like to truly believe in yourself

Mon, 31 Oct 2022 08:30:00 +1100

The topic of this podcast today is "what would it be like to know you could truly believe in yourself". What might be stopping you from accomplishing this ? What may be stopping you believing you could achieve anything or everything you desire ? With the struggles some people may have endured in their lifetime, I can imagine that this would be a very big ask.

And please stay tuned afterwards as I talk with my 'audio guy' Jerry as we have a chat about the latest episode and look ahead to what's coming up. I've worked with Jerry and his wife Melinda for many years and together they run Films4Change Inc (see www.films4changeinc.org ) creating video content around social and community issues.

Healthy Communication Styles

Mon, 24 Oct 2022 08:30:00 +1100

This podcast examines various ways in which healthy communication can be blocked in any relationship. This can be unconscious, perhaps a normal way of speaking or it can be a conscious and sometimes a threatening way of communicating with another person.

Mon, 17 Oct 2022 08:30:00 +1100

What would it be like to live your life without fear

Mon, 03 Oct 2022 08:30:00 +1100

This podcast explores the impact and control that fear may have over a person’s life and the walls that fear creates which can lead to anxiety and doubt.

Childhood Messages

Thu, 25 Aug 2022 12:08:53 +1000

This podcast explores the childhood messages told to us by significant people in our lives that can be still a part of a person’s belief system in adult life, possibly becoming rigid ways of thinking and being with little flexibility. It examines choices that could be made to allow for changes to be considered for a person to become more in tune with who they truly are, not what they may have been told.

Self-Forgiveness

Thu, 25 Aug 2022 11:08:36 +1000

This podcast explores the way a male child may have been expected to suppress his feelings from an early age and the difficulties he may encounter in his teenage years, unable to deal with strong, normal emotions which could lead to suicidal thoughts. It also explores how a male who hasn’t been able to know it is safe to talk about feelings, may raise his own child, especially a male, the same way.
