Commonground Solutions: Communication

Communication

Learning how to express your feelings, opinions and needs in a way that respects the rights and feelings of others is vital as both you and the person you are trying to communicate with are equally important.

Assertive communication takes you away from using language that is filled with blame and judgement which typically leads those you are talking to, to respond in a defensive, hostile or aggressive way.

Justin Purtle

I've been in private practice since 2004 and practice under Medicare as a Mental Health Social Worker. I work with adolescents, children, parents, families and individuals. I love working with anger and all the things that go along with it for an individual and as a family.
My farm program puts young people and adults in a rural environment where therapeutic outcomes seem to come more easily than in a clinical setting.
Activity options include: bush walking, motorbike lessons, goat therapy (yes, goat therapy, it's not a thing but it should be, so I made it one), farm maintenance, building a campfire, the list goes on.
Everyone likes different things about the bush. Doing something you enjoy doing in the bush while talking makes working through those tough issues a bit easier.
