Hello <<First Name>>
As the end of 2018 draws nearer, I’m finding myself more and more reflecting on the year I’ve had. And, just as many of you may have experienced great ups and downs within the year, so too have I. And I’d like to remind you that without the down times, the sad moments and the difficult challenges you have all faced throughout the year, you would not appreciate the happiness and successes nearly as much.
So take some time to reflect and ponder on the good, the bad and the ugly. What did you learn about yourself? Perhaps you journaled about it? Perhaps it happened when you were going through one of my programs. What was it that helped get you through that difficult time? Take some time to truly reflect so that you are prepared and ready to meet the challenges that the unpredictability of life throws our way.
I’d like to also take this time to express my gratitude to each and every one of you for being there, supporting my business, and sharing your stories. Thank you for allowing me into your lives and sharing with you the strategies I’ve learned from my professional development along the way. On that note, I’d like to share with you all the gratitude I have for my mentors, specifically, David and Ellen Johnson of Davellen & Associates, Psychologists in Bendigo.
It has been a 20 year journey of my life that I have had some involvement with their services. As some of you may already be aware, when I initially attended counselling for myself 20 years ago, it had such a profound impact on me, I knew then, I wanted to be a counsellor.
David and Ellen provided me with the kind of support and encouragement that I hope and I aspire to provide to my clients. I have had some involvement with their service for the majority of the time over the past 20 years, from counselling, supervision and also the Diploma of Counselling Psychology. It is time for them to close shop and begin their retirement. I am so grateful for their contribution to my life, my professional development and support over the years. In my last session with David, I expressed to him my sincerest and whole hearted gratitude that I have for him, Ellen and my other mentors from across the globe.
It is because of these people, far and near, I can sit in my home office with clients in Golden Square and provide my clients with the latest and most up to date, neuroscience, evidenced based practice and practical skills that have worked for their clients all over the world. There really has never been a better time to be doing what I’m doing, to share these strategies with you all, to support you and stop needless suffering.
My mission in 2019 is to continue to help more people and do more good in the world. Together, we are better.
Thank you to my clients, my mentors, and my biggest supporter, Lee. Lee believed in me, helped me overcome my own automatic and negative thoughts, my false beliefs many of you have struggled with at some point. Lee encouraged me to push through barriers I never thought I could, until now…ha-ha.
Lee really is the backbone of Jacqueline Hogan Counselling and strives for the continuous improvement of our business. He supports me to support you. Lee makes things run smoothly and efficiently from assessments and analysis, technical support, bookkeeping, marketing, newsletters, business management and development, strategic planning, program development and more. Thank you Lee. And, thank you all for sharing your lives with me and helping me to help you make your lives and the world a better place.
See you in 2019 –it’s gonna be a ripper! New programs….hypnosis….training….plus more!
