Feeling anxious, stressed, lost control of your life? Are you ready to change? Let me show you how to take the 1st step www.mindovermattertherapy.com.au
Hi my name is Elaine Martin. I am the owner and Psychotherapist/Hypnotherapist at MindOverMatter and I operate out of my Annandale clinic (Townsville). I specialise in helping people who suffer from anxiety and stress. Although many of my clients come to see me about weight loss, pain, fears and phobias, addictions, lack of motivation or feeling lost often the underpinning problem is caused by higher than normal levels of stress or anxiety which can lead to frustration and finally depression. I also work with children on issues such as bullying, self esteem, and bed wetting and also have experience working with both adults and children on the Autistic spectrum. I offer several programs including the Virtual Gastric Band Program, Quit Smoking Intervention Program and 5 Path Hypnosis. I am passionate about what I do and I constantly push the boundaries to be the best practitioner I can be. I am continually training and educating myself to ensure my knowledge base is both up to date and relevant. I spend many hours researching, developing and upgrading my programs to provide my clients with the best possible experience. My background in Human Resources, together with my knowledge, life experience and training has meant that I can easily deal with whatever comes up in the clinic. I also have the ability through my Psychotherapy training to use a range psycho-analytical tools including enhanced CBT, Ego States or Parts Therapy and Regression techniques to help a clients deal with more in depth problems such as trauma or depression. I publish a newsletter every quarter which is full of information, ideas, thoughts, inspiration and insights about the mind.

Beautiful
You may have seen this quote floating around from the article on William Shatner’s space trip by now:
"My trip to space was supposed to be a celebration; instead, it felt like a funeral," he wrote. "It was among the strongest feelings of grief I have ever encountered. The contrast between the vicious coldness of space and the warm nurturing of Earth below filled me with overwhelming sadness."
Shatner is describing an experience known as the overview effect, which is a cognitive shift in how one thinks about Earth and life that many astronauts report feeling during spaceflight.
"Everything I had thought was wrong. Everything I had expected to see was wrong," he wrote. "I had a different experience, because I discovered that the beauty isn't out there, it's down here, with all of us. Leaving that behind made my connection to our tiny planet even more profound."

I have experienced something similar to this when standing on certain mountaintops. A feeling of just how precious the Earth is, and a longing to protect it.
In polyvagal theory I’ve heard that “connection is protection,” meaning that when we feel truly anchored in a safe connection with another human being, we are also sheltered from the threat of danger. Our system can relax and soften. We can access more of our creativity, insight, and wide-angle view of the world around us.
I believe this doesn’t only happen with mammals, or even other creatures, though. As William Shatner so beautifully expresses, it’s possible to feel this connection to the Earth (the warmth of our home), too. To feel this connection with the Earth is to feel protected, but also protecting. It’s LOVE.
As happens so often in relationships, we are taken care of by her in so many subtle ways that are easy to forget or take for granted. Still, in moments when awareness can untangle from the mind, and shift instead to a deep and profound appreciation for the beauty of our environment… it’s easy to see. This connection affects—and even depends upon—us both. My existence depends on her existence. As she thrives in all her abundant glory, so do I. If she withers or falters, I feel it. And when she demonstrates her resiliency, I’m reminded of mine, as well.
In other words, it’s only natural to want to protect the ones we love, no matter what form they take. So what about falling in love with nature? With Earth? With this beautiful planet that sustains us? Let’s love her like she deserves… before it’s too late.
