Lisa Johnson, Brisbane Psychologist & Wellbeing Practitioner

To the world, you’re successful. You have it all.

The career, the partner, the house, the car, the gorgeous kids you love beyond measure.

But that’s not what you see.

I get it.

‘Having it all’ has left you feeling tired, exhausted, depleted and defeated. And feeling guilty about feeling this way, just makes you feel worse. The doer of all things. For all people. No time for you. You’re only just holding it all together.

In my holistic health work – as a counsellor, complementary medicine practitioner and psychologist – this is the story I’ve heard. Over and over.

For more than 27 years.

From professional people just like you. I wholeheartedly believe you deserve to live a balanced, healthy, happy, fulfiled and meaningful life. A life completely connected to your personal and professional purpose. And I can help you get there.

Don’t wait until you’re in a crisis to live the life you deserve.

6 element framework

Together, we’ll work with my holistic framework that combines the best of East and West to support your wellbeing and ignite your purpose, passion and play.

The Six Element Wellbeing Framework is my holistic, mind-body approach to coaching.

This framework draws on my 27 years experience as a wellbeing practitioner, my Bachelor of Psychological Science (Honours) and Masters of Organisational Psychology and my extensive use of evidence-based interventions.

This approach is an eclectic, integrative approach that supports your complete wellbeing.

Professional

Work/profession/career satisfaction and fulfilment

High levels of work satisfaction and fulfilment can contribute to your health.

Satisfaction can be achieved through having confidence in your work, role clarity, work-life balance, training as well as feeling appreciated, respected and supported by your manager and peers.

Working for an organisation that aligns with your personal values, skills and strengths also enhances your feelings of engagement and fulfilment. This helps you cope with the demands of your job and protects you against stress and burnout.

Social Engagement

Social Engagement, connectedness and feelings of belongingness is important for well-being.

Whether you are an introverted or an extroverted person, having strong social connections or feeling part of something outside of your own company has great benefits for your health.

Contributing something to your community, workplace or people in need can help you feel more socially connected and accepted. It can increase your levels of self-worth, self-esteem and strengthen your identity and make you feel like you belong, are supported and are less alone.

Psychological

How you feel and why you feel the way you do

There are a few aspects to consider.

Your temperament – levels of optimism, gratitude and resilience.

Your childhood living environment – how nurturing, stable and loving it is or was.

Relationships with your parents/caregivers, siblings and peers.

Various chapters in your life are important as well – education, career/employment, intimate relationships, peers and social connections.

Nutritional

This isn’t just about food, but the products you use too

Consider what you’re eating and what products you’re using in your home and on your skin.

Let’s start with food. You are what you eat. Whole food eating is a great start. What’s whole food? Foods that have no or very little interaction with, humans and technology. Sounds purist, but the smaller number of people that have handled the food you buy (processing, preserving, packaging, storing) the better the quality.

Bonus, it’s better for the environment too.

Now to products you’re using. Good gut health is essential for wellbeing. Emotional stress, anxiety or depression can activate your sympathetic nervous system (the primitive adrenal survival response of flight, fright or freeze). This reduces digestive function and compromises gut health even if you consume the healthiest foods. To ensure that digestive function isn’t hindered further, consider what you’re using.

Physical

This includes your structural health and how much you move your body

Posture, ergonomics and how much you move your body each day can play an important role in your physical health. For example, sitting at a desk all day or living a sedentary lifestyle can pose significant health risks.

Exercise is more than attending a fitness class. It needs to include movement that is supportive and adaptive to your unique and evolving needs.

Research supports the idea that being active throughout each day is essential, not just a few blocks per week.

The health benefits of exercising are immense. Exercise releases endorphins, relieving depression, stress, anxiety and muscle tension.

If we think holistically, then the best exercises are ones that support links between physical movement and emotional/psychological wellbeing. Such as yoga, tai chi and martial arts.

Spiritual

For some this isn’t an integral part of their wellbeing, for others it’s fundamental

Having a spiritual or religious belief can create a great sense of comfort and assurance. You may feel comforted by a regular practice.

It can also have strong connective power that brings people together on a regular basis. Offering a sense of commonality. Something to share, discuss, guide and feel part of.

Many people turn to this support when they are feeling sad or alone.

Spirituality is an individual choice and with respect, we believe each person is entitled to make their own decisions around their religious or spiritual beliefs.

For some people, it isn’t an integral part of their wellbeing and for others, it’s fundamental.

Professional man who is frustrated with life

Coaching programs for professionals generally focus on skills building; become a better leader, a better performer…

… so you can be more. Give more. The results: Career advancement, business success.

But is that enough?

You’ve got it all. But at the same time, you feel like you have nothing.
You’re so busy giving all of yourself, to everyone. Leader, achiever, results bringer. Partner, parent, chef, cleaner, taxi driver. Teacher, counsellor. Fixer, solver. The list is endless… and it’s exhausting.

You know you deserve to feel fulfilled by your work and family.

But you don’t know how to get there. You feel guilty for even thinking about trying to get there because shouldn’t you be there already? Shouldn’t it all be enough? But it’s not. It’s left you mentally, emotionally and physically exhausted.

Deep down inside, you know this can’t go on. Being everything for everyone is not sustainable.
