Wendy Bignell, President ATERC on behalf of MC Dear Member Associations, The PACFA Research Committee wishes to foster research into the profession. As a result, we have decided to endorse sending out details of research studies that your members might like to be involved in, when asked to by the researcher. Best wishes, Dr Sally Hunter, Senior Lecturer in Health, School of Health, University of New England, Armidale NSW 2351. Author of 'Childhood sexual experiences: narratives of resilience' Dear Psychotherapy And Counselling Federation of Australia: The McGill Psychotherapy Process Research Group (MPPRG) has developed an observer rated method, the Cognitive Errors Rating Scale (CERS), to assess cognitive errors in vivo, that is as they appear or are reported by clients or research participants. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first such observer rated method. We would like to invite the members of the Psychotherapy And Counselling Federation of Australia to participate in a brief 15 minute online survey examining selected aspects of the face validity of the CERS. No personal information will be collected with this survey. This project has received ethical approval by the Research Ethics Board of McGill University.

No doubt each one of you has been touched, if not immediately by flooding, but through the people you know and love who have suffered. I had thought to delay this newsletter till people were more settled but I realised that we do need to let you know so you can plan if you are coming to the Port in the near future. I am listing below upcoming workshops for February and March. Also I wanted to tell you about a wonderful health program that I have undertaken in the past 6 months. If you or those you know suffer with problems with Heart, Cholesterol, Type 2 Diabetes, Blood pressure or weight, this program might really help. I am attaching details. With every good wish, Pat Quinn The Mystery of Life - How to create your ‘Union with the Divine’ with Pat Quinn and team What is your definition of the ‘Divine’ — your spirit, a Presence, a God or do you have a sense that there is something greater than us guiding our existence? If so, you know there is a greater power. This workshop explores our relationship with the Source — whatever this might mean to you. Deep in the unconscious is the longing for connection with something beyond our personal existence. This weekend will help you to recognise when you are being guided in subtle ways, such as inspiration, intuition or synchronicity. The workshop will help explain how you can benefit from Your Very Own Union with the Divine. Bring: Loose comfy clothing, biro, notebook. Bed linen and doona if living in. Food to share. Dates: February 12–13, 2011 Times: Saturday 9am–5pm, Sunday 9am–4pm Register Saturday 8:30am Fees: $210 Holotropic Breathwork™ - as a tool for self exploration with Judith Dawson and Albert Scherrer PhD and team Learn how to breathe in a way that will help you remove energetic and emotional blockages, which could be affecting your health and keeping your potential locked up. This is a powerful tool that, when used under skilled guidance, is particularly effective for self exploration. This process combines a powerful breathing technique with music to enter into a deep meditative state enabling one to gain access to the unconscious. It can heal past hurts, open up hidden potential and allow your energy to flow freely. This workshop is not appropriate for pregnant women, or for persons with cardiovascular problems, severe hypertension, severe mental illness, recent surgery or fractures, acute infectious illness, or epilepsy. It is not compatible with the use of illegal drugs. For those who have not participated in breathwork at our centre, there will be an introductory talk on Friday night at 7.45pm prior to each workshop — this is a pre-requisite for newcomers. Bring: Two towels, tissues, one fitted and one flat sheet for breathwork, art pad, crayons, biro, notebook, loose clothing; bed linen and doona if living in.

We have 6 people that have committed to engaging in the journey of the training. For those of you that are interested in training: I encourage you to consider applying to join this training. We only run a training when we have the numbers to do so – and this is a wonderful opportunity to either commence your journey towards becoming a Transpersonal and Emotional Release Counsellor, or to update and expand your skills in the area of counseling that you already work in, or to undertake a year of intensive, supported personal growth. I have attached to application information for you to look over. A factor you may wish to take into consideration is that from 2012 Journeylines will be the only Transpersonal and Emotional Release Training centre offering Level 1 training, and from 2013 will be the only centre offering any training in Transpersonal and Emotional Release Counselling. For those that may be interested in workshops during 2011: As this training currently has 6 participants – we will be opening some of the training intensives so that others can participate for their own personal journeywork. These participants will not be considered trainees – rather, they are attending as public workshop participants. They have the added benefit of participating with a training group which brings a richness both through being exposed to the training information, as well as doing their personal work with a group that is already working at depth and in a committed way. The Training group benefits from the added energy and experiences that such participants will bring to the group. If you are interested in this then please let me know.

The attached letter was given to Senator Claire Moore who was acclaimed by the CEO of the Mental Health Council David Crosbie as a tireless advocate for mental health and people suffering disadvantage. PACFA was one of 47 associations, including the AMA and AASW, who were signatories. Ione Lewis attended the meeting as PACFA’s representative. Professor Mc Gorry, Australian of the Year, addressed the meeting and spoke of the need for a widespread restructure of the mental health system and the difficult relationship between the government and the mental health sector following the COAG meeting and the Federal Budget. Professor Mc Gorry called for a commitment to equity between physical health which receives 13% of the Federal budget and mental health which receives 6%. He said the imbalance in funding was due to stigma and discrimination and that there is a need for immediate investment in Headspace, Early Intervention in Psychosis and Suicide Intervention and Prevention. Although a further meeting was arranged with Kevin Rudd and the Health Minister Nicola Roxon, the resignation of the Prime Minister this morning made this impracticable. David Crosbie said there would be a short terms strategy to lobby government in the lead up to the election and a longer terms strategy. Julia Gillard the incoming Prime Minister has been Shadow Minister for Health and is well aware of the gaps in services. The photo is of the meeting delegates. Ione Lewis.

In May we have “Healing Relationships” and Holotropic Breathwork on May 29 to June 1st. See below for details of these workshops. I hope you can join us. With every good wish, Pat Quinn Four Steps to Personal Freedom Are you able to do what is important to you? Or is your life dictated by deeply entrenched beliefs and roles? This is an exciting weekend which will help you to gain a deeper sense of personal freedom in the way you live your life. • Beliefs, thoughts, feelings and actions govern how you live your life. The workshop will help you discover and examine what they are. • Know how they serve or don’t serve you. This awareness enables you to decide which of these no longer serve you in creating what you desire. • The Change Point – Living Differently. We then examine ways of making changes in how we live each day. • Being supported during change. We also consider the ongoing support required to maintain this new way of being. Bring: Notebook, biro, food to share. Bed linen and doona if living in. Date: April 10-11, 2010 Times: Saturday 9am–5pm, Sunday 9am–4pm Register — Saturday 8.30am Fees: $195 Portiuncula Open Day Have you ever wondered what we are up to at the Port?

Date: Saturday April 24, 2010 FREE 10am–1pm Healing Relationships with Judith Dawson and Albert Scherrer PhD A workshop using the process of Family Constellations. This technique is a very powerful way of clearing and resolving old relationships so that you can get on with your life. Often we are hurt by parents not living up to our expectations. We may choose to remain close to them physically, but cannot let go of resentment, anger or sadness. Alternately we may cut ourselves off physically and emotionally from our family, in an attempt to protect ourselves from further disappointment or hurt. Through this workshop you can begin to heal yourself and the “soul” of your family. Bring: Loose comfy clothing, biro, notebook. Bed linen and doona if living in. Prepared food to share.

Check out Maus' wonderful blog and there's also quite a few media links at www.ride4acure.com.au - have a 'wander' round. Also here's an article that appeared in the Herald Sun 28 November 2009 PDF . Carol Dyer and Wendy Bignell were delighted to be in Melbourne at the Peter McCallum Institute to celebrate Maura's completion of her Ride4acure marathon. A substantial crowd of family, friends of Hannah and Institute staff were as excited as we were to be there. Carol and I felt we were, in a small way, representative of ATERC friends, all of us who have cried, laughed, supported and contributed to such an amazing journey. Heartiest congratulations to Maura and all involved for such a wonderful tribute to Hannah.' Photographs care of Wendy Bignell click to enlarge posted 30/12/09
