An executive career is a wonderful achievement and, while others may look at all the perks and benefits with envy, you know it's been a lot of hard work and responsibility that often comes at a cost. Being the leader in your field means there is a tremendous amount of pressure and serious stressors that inevitably impact your health, private life and general wellbeing. Alcohol, social drugs and prescribed medications are an accepted part of the corporate and professional world, but when the pressure gets too much many seek solace in these substances.
\n\n
\nTo complicate matters, an executive’s standing within the corporation, business and broader community is closely tied to his or her image and reputation. This often leads to the need for secrecy about the growing concern of substance dependence. This silence often pushes dependence deeper into addiction.
\n
\nYou may need to consider Drug and/or Alcohol support if there are concerns of dependence or excessive use of:
\n• Social drugs such as cocaine or marijuana
\n• Alcohol including binge drinking or drinking alone
\n• Codeine based pain killers or opioids such as OxyContin
\n• Tranquilisers such as Valium or Xanax
\n• Sleeping pills such as Temazepam or Stilnox
\n• Antidepressants such as Zoloft or Prozac
\n
\nIndividual and private addiction counselling therapy is a great option for the concerned executive who need professional and confidential support and advice about drug and alcohol dependence issues.

Whether or not the change is a positive one, we will usually experience stress. There can be many reasons for career changes, but whatever the cause this transitional phase is often full of emotional turmoil and stress. When this stress begins to seriously affect our daily life, it may be time to seek outside help.
\n\n\t
\n\n\tCareer Transition counselling may be beneficial if you experience:
\n\n\t
\n\t• Constant tiredness for no apparent reason
\n\t• Eating habits or sleeping patterns drastically change
\n\t• Headaches or stomach problems
\n\t• Lack of concentration and irritability
\n\t• Drinking and/or smoking more than usual
\n\t• Isolating and/or low mood
\n\n\t
\n\n\tChange feels uncomfortable and uncertain but with a new point of view the situation can be turned around. Counselling therapy can provide valuable support and this much-needed new perspective.
\n\t
\n\tAnger is normal, natural and sometimes necessary. Feeling anger is not a problem, it's what we do with that volatile emotion that can lead to problems. Out-of-control anger can lead to patterns of negative behaviour that can undermine your effectiveness in the workplace, distance you from colleagues, friends, family and your partner. Potentially issues with anger can even affect your mental and physical health.
\n\n\t
\n\n\tAnger management counselling may be beneficial if you:
\n\n\t
\n\n\t• Often feel you \"hold in\" or repress your anger
\n\n\t• Frequently argue or experience conflict in your daily life
\n\n\t• Find yourself in trouble with the law, or disregard rules
\n\n\t• Make threats of violence against people or property
\n\n\t• Drive recklessly or engage in 'road rage'
\n\n\t• Regularly lose control resulting in physical violence, shouting, slamming doors or breaking things
\n\n\t
\n\n\tAnger can become a behavioural habit. Counselling therapy can assist you recognise the cues that trigger your anger habit, help uncover the underlying motivation for feeling angry and develop new ways to approach and manage triggering situations.

\n\n\tLife coaching is a process of inquiry designed to uncover the source of uncertainty, doubt and resistance blocking the way to success.

We set goals like owning our own home, sending our kids off to good schools, taking family holidays, being around for our kids sporting and creative activities but we loose sight of what we personally enjoy for our own pleasure.
\n\n\t
\n\n\tAs the time of our retirement looms closer we begin to feel anxious and we question if we can afford to retire just yet, so we might decide to put it off and work a few more years. The retirement anxiety quietens but returns in time because the real issue is much deeper.
\n\n\t
\n\n\tFinding out what is most important to us personally, outside of being a spouse, parent and our career, can be elusive. We fantasise about:
\n\n\t
\n\n\t• Doing nothing all day
\n\n\t• Leisure activities such as golf, gardening or fishing
\n\n\t• Catching up on seeing movies, plays or concerts
\n\n\t• Getting around to all those jobs about the house
\n\t• Reading books for pleasure not work
\n\t
\n\n\tAll these things are enjoyable in themselves but filling your day doing what you denied yourself when you were busy with your career won't necessarily give your life purpose. Often we need to refocus on what our retirement needs are now that we are actually here.

Over time work ends up being a safe and valid place to retreat to while avoiding the uncertainty brewing in the relationship at home.
\n\n\t
\n\n\tThis kind of avoidance lead to one of the most destructive marriage dynamics, the Pursue-Withdraw pattern. One partner keeps approaching the other about concerns within the relationship, while the other withdraws or superficially complies. Eventually the frustration and pressure builds often resulting in conflict or escape.
\n\n\t
\n\n\tCouples find many ways to avoid facing the problems. If left unchecked this pattern of avoidance brings a sense of loneliness and not being cared for, couples start leading separate lives and problems develop with intimacy and sex.

\n\n\n\n
Mindfulness is an alert mental state of openness, awareness and focus, involving breath based exercises that bring awareness to the here-and-now experience with curiosity and flexibility.
\n\n
\n\nThere is a growing scientific basis indicating mindfulness leads to greater levels of happiness, and how regular mindfulness practice is associated with changes in grey matter concentration in brain regions involved in learning and memory processes as well as emotion regulation, self-referential processing, and perspective taking.
\n\n
\nJon Kabat-Zinn, founding Executive Director of the Center for Mindfulness at the University of Massachusetts Medical School and director of its renowned Stress Reduction Clinic defines mindfulness as: \"Paying attention in a particular way: on purpose, in the present moment, and non-judgmentally.\"
\n\nSome benefits of regular Mindfulness practice are:
\n\n
\n\n• Stress and anxiety management and reduction
\n\n• Reduction of depression and low moods
\n\n• Better communication and relationships
\n\n• Less reactive and more life enjoyment
\n\n• More patience and improved emotional intelligence
\n\n• Improvement pain management
\n\n• Psychological balance
\n\n• Less negative thoughts and higher self-esteem
\n\n• Inner transformation and growth as a person
\n\n• Improved physical states such as lower heart rate and blood pressure
\n\n
\n\nMindfulness skills can be taught in practice and theory in individual or group sessions, or integrated into counselling therapy sessions. Mindfulness counselling therapy cultivates your ability to live more in the present moment instead of ruminating and worrying about the past or projecting into the future and can be helpful to most presenting problems.
