SERVICES
Hi, my name is Judy Williams and I have been a practising Psychotherapist and Counsellor for 16 years. Energy work accelerates the healing process as we work with not just talking therapies, but also the body (soma) self where dis-ease, trauma and issues are stored - The Nervous System is connected to all parts of a mind/body system, not just the brain. It is vital to listen to and collaborate with the unconscious via bodily symptoms and sensations and systematically work through issues like adddiction, depression, loneliness, anxiety/stress, compulsions, lack of self-esteem, fear public speaking, grief counselling, phobias, relationship issues, childhood traumas, fear, stuckness etc., utilising energy interventions like tapping, EMDR, muscle testing, hypnotherapy, energy corrections/exercises and breathwork. If you would like to detail what's happening for you in a short or detailed email, you enquiry will be welcome and attended to within a 48 hour period. Alternatively you can telephone me directly on 95308319, there is an answering machine and I will get back to you, usually within 48 hours. Thankyou for your interest and time.
Take advantage of my FREE EMAIL CONSULTATION and let me know what is happening for you.

THIS IS ABOUT YOU
STRESS AND ANXIETY
How do we cope with day to day demands and get over stress and anxiety that often arises in our busy lives? So many people are affected by this sense of 'too muchness' and being impacted by the world around them. It shows up in differing degrees, from nervous energy to not being
able to relax to over doing and having no time to feeling like pulling your hair out. Some people can cope and build positive resources to support and nourish themselves. With others it seems deeper and no amount of positive reinforcement allows rest and appreciation for life and a strong sense of well-being. Of course some of you may resort to taking something to ease the burden of stress, like alcohol and tobacco or something else and that seems to work for awhile. Then little by little it all becomes more serious and next thing you know you've not only got stress related issues you have an issue with drinking, or drugging or shopping or food, any number of seemingly self soothing mechanisms.
ADDICTION
I see many young people today up to the age of around 30 who have over-indulged in drugs and alcohol. They see their dabbling as just fun and harmless. Some young people who have come to my practice don't even know that it is OK to NOT get drunk. The culture supports and encourages drinking to excess and binge drinking is almost at its peak usage amongst teens and kids in their 20's. Drug taking is seen as having a great time and there seems to be a bugger it, why shouldn't I, everyone else is taking something, or I deserve to have a great time, or sadly, I feel so alone and out of the group if I don't take drugs or get drunk.
Send an email detailing what's happening for you, what service you require and some detail of what you want and need and Judy will respond with a FREE EMAIL SESSION to connect with you and begin your healing journey.

WHAT'S HAPPENING FOR YOU?
A COMPLETE MIND/BODY/SOUL HEALTH CONSISTS OF SEVERAL INTERCONNECTING FUNCTIONS:
- Cognition/thinking
- imagination
- behaviour
- emotion/feeling
- sensation/body sensing
- biology/genetics
Often if there is disruption or disconnection with these finely tuned interactive systems, ie there's too much thinking and worrying with little or no conscious feeling life; or there's too much imagination/fantasy and not enough 'doing' in the world, or many, many other combinations, dis-ease occurs.
Peter Levine "proposes that during some episodes of traumatic stress elements of the experience becomes disconnected. An individual with PTS or PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress/Disorder) might later report a disturbing visual memory (image) and a strong emotion connected to it (affect), but cannot make any sense of it (dissociated meaning); a child might exhibit repetitive play afer a disturbing event (behavior), but doesn't display any emotion (dissociated affect) or appear to remember it at all (image)."
When the above functions are not interacting and functioning in accord, a healthy system can become unhealthy and unbalanced, which often leads to neurosis and instability with possible physical symptomology. The aim of a healthy mind/body system is integration of all the parts of the self.
For instance:
- Are you stuck or blocked and keep coming up against recurring issues and problems?
- Are there physical developments/ailments beginning to get you down?
- Do you wonder if this is all there is in life, should there be more?
- Is your family more burdensome than a fulfilling, caring unit that you can come to and debrief after a days journey?
- Do you wonder how you became who you are and sense that there is more to who you are deep down?
- Are there debilitating addictions that won't let go of you, even though you have the best of intentions and have made many
resolutions to abstain?
- Do you run a hundred mile an hour 'doing' for others only to be at the same place with hundreds of things to do all the time, getting nowhere and wearing yourself out?
- Do you place others first and yourself last?
- Are you stuck in a job that's getting you down and you want out, but can't quite make the move? Perhaps nervous to take another path?
- AND YOU MAY HAVE YOUR OWN UNIQUE ISSUE OR CONCERN THAT IS NOT LISTED ABOVE...
ANY LIFE AND PERSONAL ISSUE THAT'S BOTHERING YOU OR DEEPLY AFFECTING YOU IS WORTH SEEKING ADVICE AND ASSISTANCE FOR.
YOU ARE WORTH IT
WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU?
SOUL CENTRED PSYCHOTHERAPY IN CONJUNCTION WITH BODY ENERGY WORK
Counselling, psychotherapy, psychoanalysis etc, what are referred to as 'talking therapies,' work optimally when used in conjunction with heart/mind/body, or holistic energy interventions. It is vital to ascertain your personal, family and generational history and narrative from you the client and for the therapist to get a sense of who you are and what is happening intra-psychically for you. Sometimes gathering your details takes time and at any given point, interspersed at relevant intervals, energy work and interpersonal interventions will be used.
There are many body centred therapies out in the world now that can move symptomology out of the physical system and unblock emotional dis-ease/ailments. You should not settle just for one modality as there are so many leading edge techniques and resources to draw upon.
For example TAPPING the meridian system allows energies that are blocked and stored in the muscles and organs of the body to start to begin to de-contract. This offers increased energy to your system where blood flows more freely and the 'sluggishness' you may be feeling frees up allowing you to feel more alive, energised and inspired!
For optimal effectiveness the more you explore and manipulate and become curious about your body's programming, obviously the more results you will feel.
WHY DOES TAPPING WORK
THOUGHT MATRIX MERIDIAN THERAPY arose from the same research as TFT and is similar in its function on working with TAPPING the meridian systems of the body.
STORY:
MARY, a past client rang to cancel her appointment saying she was at the hospital with her 12 year old son who was in excruciating pain with a blocked bladder and about to go in (that minute) for surgery. The mother was highly anxious not wanting surgery for her son, so I suggested that she bring him to me for THOUGHT MATRIX MERIDIAN THERAPY - TAPPING on the BLADDER MERIDIAN. This meridian point relates to FEAR, ANXIETY AND FUTILITY and governs the nervous system. The boy had been in for explorative surgery twice previously and nothing was found. So mum brought the boy to me straight from the hospital before surgery. The boy was shy and a little wary so tapping was performed on the mum whilst she maintained physical contact with her son. She also did a series of TAPPING on the boy herself. Complimentary therapies were used in conjunction with the tapping to reinforce and anchor long term efficacy. They left and later that evening I received a telephone call from her saying: "what did you do to my son, I don't know him, he's playful and happy and full of energy and has begun peeing again". She was delighted as well as flabergasted at the profound change.
The energetic systems of the meridians work to reduce stress, phobias and even body ailments and allows intra-psychic layers to unfold little by little. Accupuncturists activate meridian points (using needles) and vibrate and connect energy to heal and restore the body's natural flow. It is the same with tapping using fingers (not needles) on the energy points, which results in healing an anxious or stressed mind/body system. Metaphorically, it's like a window opens and fresh air flows through blocked or mouldy passages, giving a sense of wellness and vitality.
THOUGHT MATRIX MERIDIAN THERAPY work arose from the same research as TFT and is similar in its function on working with TAPPING the meridian systems of the body. "The most fundamental rhythm in your body is the beating of your heart. Your arteries and capillaries carry its pulse throughout your body. Your body's energy system carries other pulses as well. Accupuncturists "read" some of these energy pulses when they perform a diagnosis. The body is accustomed to the type of rhythm that is created when you tap. Tapping at an energy point uses the body's own language to stimulate that energy. Tapping, holding, tracing and massaging are four primary interventions in energy medicine. Holding energy points and tracing meridians also speak to the body in its own language, using the dialect of its electromagnetic system. Massaging specific points is particularly effective for stimulating the neurolymphatic system, pumping the energies through clogged pathways. But the body tends to respond to tapping where it might resist deep massage on an overcharged point". (The Kairos Centre)
MUSCLE TESTING - USING THE BODY'S INNER WISDOM:
When the conscious mind is asked a question about our health, it often answers with what it knows - left brain, cognitive, thinking expression and knowing. It has limitations and it is important that the unconscious mind (the body) is consulted and its wisdom taken into account. For instance a client may be asked: "What is your ailment wanting to express by its pain, brokenness or disability? What is this issue wanting from you and what is the bigger picture here?" Your thinking mind will have an idea of what's happening for you, however the unconscious mind or body will have an entirely different slant on what may be happening. So we engage the body by asking its deepest inner wisdom, where to from here? Is this ailment to do with deeper meanings? etc. Past trauma and memories are stored in the muscles and organs of our bodies, so why not engage the system with questions and wonderings? This way we engage the whole mind/body system of all of who you are, not just a part of you, or parts of who you think you are!
HYPNOTHERAPY AND YOU
STORY:
Fred, a recovered alcoholic who comes from an alcoholic and abusive family environment, wanted to GIVE UP SMOKING CIGARETTES. He went to several hypnotherapists who claimed they could cure the addiction in one session, two at the most. With one hypnotherapist in particular, whilst in trance, and after nearly an hour of induction, Fred heard the words: "YOU WILL NOT SMOKE AGAIN" and regained full consciousness. A part of him reacted to those words in a startled way, and for Fred that was the end of the session, although the hypnotherapist at the time just continued on with the trancework. Fred's cynical part and protector self 'came to' and there was no way he was going to give up his cigarettes. He reported this particular incident to me and we have been working with the part that will not allow him to let go of this addiction. Fred responds really well to trance work and experiences deep induction, however his system responds to small, personally relative suggestions and each session there are more creative and resourced states introduced. The idea of giving up smoking is becoming more real to Fred as we explore his options and create much needed resourced states. Some people respond to one or two sessions, others respond to more creative and resourced states of tracking and containment.
You can experience healing through self-empowerment and self-discovery (for addictions, habits, anxieties, stress, dis-ease) with trancework. HYPNOTHERAPY taps into the creative unconscious, into parts of ourselves responsible for habits, addiction and learned behaviours that may not serve the whole of who we are. Trance work allows communication between different parts of ourselves on an unconscious level. MILTON ERICKSON (the Grandfather of hypnosis) has been responsible....for his ability to locate an individual's inner resources for coping creatively with the real problems of everyday life...
'Exploring the inner mind is the key to knowing yourself. It will unlock the door to the reasons for character and behavior problems, for emotional disturbances and illnesses, for traits such as phobias and fears and anxiety, and for many other personal problems such as everyoe has. When you know the motivations and reasons behind these things, it is far easier to solve or overcome them and to make the changes which will bring health, happiness and success.' ('Self Hypnostism,' Leslie M. LeCron).
Hypnosis is a mind/body, holistic communication that works directly with the unconscious mind. Conjur in your mind's eye the image of an island: What you see above sea level is the uppermost part of the island mass and below sea level the island structure unseen, which reaches the deepest depths of the ocean. Like the island metaphor, our ego (who we think we are) is but a small part of who we wholly are. Mostly we experience and perceive the world with our conscious ego (the uppermost observable section of an island), that which allows us to fit in, adapt and 'know' all there is to know about the world for our own survival and success. Hypnosis goes to the intra-psychic source,"we are learning how the languages of mind (thought, imagery, emotion and sensation) are communicating with the language of the body (hormones, messenger molecules, information substances). (Milton Erickson).
Hypnosis, linked with other body centred therapies is a powerful tool with long lasting results!
HOW BI-LATERAL STIMULATION REPROCESSING WORKS
Bi Lateral work has the capacity to heal splits and dissociations between various parts of a person, especially the adult/child. It is also highly effective in facilitating the integration of past history that is experienced as traumatic into new healing contexts and perspectives. This work is profoundly satisfying in its ability to support the evolving generative sense of self.
STORY:
Sylvia, a friend, was keen to experience BI-LATERAL STIMULATION REPROCESSING. Her current therapy offered understandings and connections but she still experienced unreleased and burdensome emotions that lay close to the surface. On a cognitive level she understood her issues and problems but found the loss of a family member when she was a teenager still lived deeply within her and affected her day to day living in a debilitating way. She found it was difficult to connect with her 2 children and husband. Whenever my friend raised the sorrow of the loss of her loved one to her therapist she would repeatedly say: "but that happened 35 years ago!" Virtually as soon as I began the BI-LATERAL STIMULATION REPROCESSING she could begin to grieve the loss on an emotional level. She cried and cried and made profound connections and felt her pain it seemed for the very first time. When she looked at me after a bout of tears, lightness and spirit seemed to enter her. Her feelings were finally acknowledged and worked through, witnessed, contained and made sense of. Connecting right brain emotional activity with left brain cognitive activity gave my friend the release and sacred connection to her long lost brother that she could hold in her heart with a holy respect and love.
BI-LATERAL STIMULATION REPROCESSING has arisen out of the body of research stimulated by mind/body approaches to healing, including EMDR and energy psychology. Effective for PTSD, trauma and addictions, deeply rooted issues and problems.
This technique is powerfully enlightening and offers integration with left brain/right brain functioning. Often when there's trauma or stuckness in our mind/body system that blocks day to day efforts, the right brain functioning floods (we can become over emotional) and there seems to be a lack of 'intelligence' with day to day tasks and issues. BI-LATERAL STIMULATION REPROCESSING is a leading edge, structured method of attending to the mind/body system to create enduring changes and profound results.
"Often, when something traumatic happens, it seems to get locked in the nervous system with the original picture, sounds, thoughts, feelings, and so on. Since the experience is locked there, it continues to be triggered whenever a reminder comes up. It can be the basis for a lot of discomfort and sometimes a lot of negative emotions, such as fear and helplessness, that we can't seem to control. These are really the emotions connected with the old experience that are being triggered." (Shapiro, Francine. EMDR)

BENEFITS OF MEDITATION
(relaxation, guided, focusing).
MY EXPERIENCE WITH MEDITATION: Meditation is a source of extreme comfort and relaxation for me. My whole body becomes numb and tingling as I am aware of myself on a deep and intimate level. I know I am inside myself with no form, as my body seems to merge with its surroundings. There’s such a freedom to being emotionally and physically detached from myself. Even though there’s detachment there’s complete union with all that surrounds me. My conscious mind, thoughts, plans and all that thinking still continues but with little or no attachment. All is well. I begin by taking my attention down to my feet, spend time there and slowly move up through parts of my body.
This is relaxation meditation where, in my mind’s eye I focus my attention on soma self. Section by section, body part by body part, muscles, hairs, capillaries, pores of skin, tendons, bones, nerves, cells – whatever you are made up of, spend time with yourself. Even if your thinking mind is busy, it is amazing how your body can have the sensation of relaxing. There are some wonderful body relaxation meditations around – it’s good to buy a CD and treat yourself to guided relaxation meditation. I love ‘Heart of Healing Meditation’ by Nivedita Saraswati. She has a soothing voice, incorporates breath and body into her guided meditation recording and is backed by Tibetan bowl, flute and guitar. For a copy of Nivedita’s CD's you can email her at: white_tara_holistics@yahoo.com.au
'Mental relaxation is a skill, a 'discipline of ease', that can enhance the life of almost everyone irrespective of their age and health - even extremely bad health. Dr. Meares had many patients with cancer who came to him in the hope of obtaining relief from anxiety, depression, pain, or even the cancer itself.' (Ainslie Meares)
Meditation is a powerful method with which to calm and discipline the mind and create forms of relaxation and comfort in everyday life. Even if you do nothing else in the realm of mental health, learning to meditate offers a sense of contentment and well-being enabling you to rest, relax and focus.

ANGER MANAGEMENT ONE DAY WORKSHOP
Saturday's 12 noon until 4.30pm $60 - learn and develop skills and resources that will alleviate and control your anger. What happens to you when you become angry? What makes you angry? How do you feel when you 'let loose', lose control and hurt someone? What are you left with, guilt, depletion and critical self hate? Learn to understand what triggers your anger, develop resources and have some fun.
To sponsor and give context to this course we will draw on GREEK MYTHOLOGY and to ARES, GOD OF WAR, to contain and give meaning to destruction, carnage and violence. ARES fell in love with APHRODITE - GODDESS OF LOVE and produced an offspring HARMONIA. He was the father of EROS - GOD OF LOVE and also fathered NIKE - GODDESS OF VICTORY. He has reputation for violence and destruction and his shadow (that unseen and disowned aspect of self) represents the capacity for connection to love and all its qualities.

EXAMPLES OF EMAIL RESPONSES
My response to an enquirer (one)
Dear.............., thanks for your enquiry re 'ANGER'. There are many ways we can work with anger. It's debilitating for anyone who's on the receiving end of it, not to mention how devastating it is to the one who delivers the blows. I imagine your children are beautiful, energetic and like to explore, push boundaries and that's normal and healthy. However, if you have a 'short fuse' then this can be highly challenging for you to manage the fullness of their energies. It's shattering to the anger bearer to see the spoils of the rage, little innocent faces frightened and collapsed, its terrible. That ANGER/RAGE needs a container and expression elsewhere and an exploration of its beginnings. The good news is you can come to a softer, more related way of expressing, and find ways to comfort and support yourself. Often there's a 'good girl' doing alot of work and over doing it, not getting enough soothing for self and when this is the case, something inside snaps, you are pushed to your limits and all of a sudden you have no control over your temper. There are many ways to explore and vent anger that don't impact on the other and utilising mind/body therapies will control and contain these energies. I hear your frustration with medication and it not 'working' and feeling that you are at a dead end. There is hope. With SOUL CENTRED PSYCHOTHERAPY and body therapies you will begin to create sense and meaning to unmediated feelings of rage. The terrible fear that grips and leads you to believe that there will be a catastrophe, can be worked with and made sense of and contained.............
My response to an enquirer (Two)
Dear.................thankyou for your enquiry re SOUL CENTRED PSYCHOTHERAPY/NATURAL THERAPIES. I have worked with many women who suffer from DEPRESSION and had profound and positive results. Your system is flat and blocked and there's usually an experience of 'what's the use'. You say that you have been misdiagnosed, that your 'depression' may be unhappiness where you feel estranged from the 'real you'. A lack of full expression of the real self and an inert and stuck soma system can create debilitating lethargy . Let's find the real you and discover where she is and locate and discover her together. You sound young, vibrant and ready to explore and this is encouraging as it is good to have positive intention. I get a real sense of your vibrancy. I'd be interested to meet you and explore which modality most suits and begin to clear out blockages and stuckness that stop you from being wholly who you are. There are many energy modalities that can begin to clear out inert, flat soma states and that sense of hopelessness that often pervades a depressed system..........
