This month we celebrate International's Women's Day.

International Women's Day (IWD) is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating gender parity.

IWD values are justice, dignity, hope, equality, collaboration, tenacity, appreciation, respect, empathy, forgiveness. These values provide direction for the type of action, behaviour and ethos associated with this critical and globally-supported day.

Regardless of what day of the year we are celebrating values are also important to consider on an individual level. Having a clear understanding of what is important to us, will guide our behaviour and decisions accordingly.

If you are unsure what these values might be, we recommend downloading the below free resource from ACT trainer, Dr. Russ Harris.

The era of 24-hour news brings traumatic events directly into everyone's lives. Escaping these big stories can be difficult when they're everywhere you go.

BOOK OF THE MONTH
The Courage to be Disliked
By Ichiro Kishimi & Fumitake Koga

Using the theories of Alfred Adler, one of the three giants of 19th century psychology alongside Freud and Jung, it follows an illuminating conversation between a philosopher and a young man.

The philosopher explains to his pupil how each of us is able to determine our own lives, free of the shackles of past experiences, doubts and the expectations of others.

It’s a way of thinking that’s deeply liberating, allowing us to develop the courage to change, and to ignore the limitations that we and those around us can place on ourselves.

We are delighted to introduce a number of psychologists to our team this year!
