Thank you, Jeni O'Dowd for https://t.co/muk4HzSkYn, for the opportunity to share part of my fertility story - to help build awareness of the challenges. I’m also deeply grateful to now be a first-time mum at nearly 51 to a beautiful three-year-old boy. https://t.co/4VjjGgJ3h2

Therapeutic change is a process of insight, integration, and relational repair - emerging not through force, yet through feeling understood and supported.

I spoke with @9NewsAUS about giving birth in my late 40s - I’m grateful to be part of the conversation. I deeply honour everyone navigating their own fertility journey, past or present. #ivf #fertility #fertilityjourney #infertility #Invitrofertilisation https://t.co/jfFspagz0R

I appreciated being asked by @newscomauHQ to share insights on why some men still struggle to cry today. I spoke about the cultural and emotional barriers some men can face, and why normalising healthy emotional expression matters for all of us. https://t.co/9GXu9DWwzK

I’m very excited to share that I’ve been featured in Morning Lazziness with Shruti Sood, as part of their incredible series celebrating women who are creating meaningful change with their ideas. In this interview I open up about my path into psychotherapy. https://t.co/fpYXatdL0h

If you’ve recently watched Apple Cider Vinegar you may be familiar with the term Münchausen disorder. Was glad to contribute to this vulnerable piece for Mamamia. You can read in full here. https://t.co/7p7uowFCJE #mamamia #munchausen #applecidervinegar #applecider #mentalhealth

I share for @9HoneyAU what it was like on the IVF path in my 40s & the challenges it brought. My partner & I were fortunate to have a baby when I was 47 but after years of trying unsuccessfully I understand the heartache that comes with fertility issues. https://t.co/LA64SWMfcK

10 Signs you need a break

[Julie Sweet @Julie_Sweet_]

This is such a great read in @guardian with realistic examples of what parents need to say to their child as opposed to what doesn’t work. Fabulous article @yumichild! https://t.co/iV4RmRS0KC

[Julie Sweet @Julie_Sweet_]

It was a pleasure to discuss with @amanda__goff a highly significant topic, the abuse of men. Our discussion also provided key insights for those who support men in their lives and who may be having a hard time sharing their experiences. https://t.co/bfIuvFL678

Most people listen to respond, not to understand:

True empathy goes beyond listening.

It's about truly understanding another person's experience.

An insightful article in @NewYorker tackles family estrangement, also known as emotional cutoff, reflecting a shift towards more open dialogue on this previously often unspoken topic. I’m glad to see it’s being openly discussed. https://t.co/8bXypEtTBr #therapy #counselling

I’m thrilled to have partnered with Ninja Thirsti Water Bottle Australia to explore the psychological aspects of emotional support water bottles and examine what your attachment style says about you (my favourite colour from their fabulous range is Mint). https://t.co/TyB8UqWFYJ

[Julie Sweet @Julie_Sweet_]

Women often unknowingly adhere to patriarchal norms in various ways. In my work as a therapist I seek to explore these issues. In 2024 is it still appropriate for women to take their partner's surname? I loved contributing to this piece by @bynicolemadigan https://t.co/Xo3iLrOASb

Have you seen Baby Reindeer on Netflix? I was asked to share my clinical opinion with @YLifestyleAu on stalking and how it is portrayed in the media, specifically it’s depiction in this crime series. https://t.co/nXoZGChjWd #mentalhealth #stalking #stalker #BabyReindeer #therapy

@lynnoc I’m often surprised at how many therapists aren’t in therapy themselves @lynnoc. Great piece!
