We have a choice that exists beyond our circumstance, it is a choice regarding our attitude. In this Vlog Jason encourages us to reframe our perception of what is going on around us to acknowledge the positive that exists. This very concept of choosing our attitude, can lead to an experience of life that is more aligned with wellness.

In our last Vlog, Jason outlined 5 forms of manipulation; intimidation, threats, badgering, playing the victim and buttering up. In this Vlog (Part 2), strategies in how to respond to manipulation are outlined such as stop behaviours, and outlining boundaries.

With the Holidays fast approaching and expectations increasing of time spent together during this uncertain time, Jason Krause wants to share a two part series on 'How Can I Identify Manipulation?' and a follow up on 'How To Respond To Manipulation'. There are many ways in which someone can manipulate, and in this month's vlog we learn on what they are and how to identify it.

"But I didn't mean it", this statement could be the truth but intentions don't take away reactions, and could actually invalidate someones experience. This month's mental health vlog touches on a great relationship counselling tip - give the video a watch to learn more.

You asked about CBT, and we heard you! In this month's vlog, Jason will outline what CBT is, and how it can be used. Cognitive behavioural therapy is recognizing that our thoughts lead to feelings, our feelings generate behaviours, and our behaviours intensify our thoughts. It’s a cycle!

Join us on social media for this month’s vlog on producing healthy fruit (characteristics) in your life.
