Is PTSD impacting your relationship?

Monash University is conducting a clinical trial to evaluate a new online intervention for couples called Couple HOPES.

Couple HOPES is designed to give you and your partner tools to improve PTSD symptoms and enhance your relationship.

They are seeking any current or veteran police officers, firefighters and paramedics with symptoms of PTSD and their intimate partner, who would like to improve their PTSD symptoms and enhance their relationship satisfaction. Couples who participate will receive FREE access to Couple HOPES.

What’s involved?

Participation in all aspects of the study will involve:

  • Meeting with one of the research team via Zoom to discuss your eligibility
  • Random allocation to receive either immediate or delayed access to Couple HOPES
  • Completion of 7 x 30min Couple HOPES modules, including practice assignments between sessions and attending coaching sessions with your coach
  • Completing 7 online surveys, each approximately 15-20 minutes in duration
  • Participation in an online interview via Zoom (optional)[CS1]

OPEN MIND COLLECTIVE LIFE COACHING

Open Mind Collective Life Coaching is running Body, Mind & Habit Reset – Day Retreats.

I’m a first responder with over 30 year’s experience and I’ve created this day to help others like you reconnect with what really matters in your life, understand what’s holding you back from making changes you’ve been putting off and help you to take action.

I’ve created a safe, supportive, and completely judgment-free space where you can pause, breathe, reflect, and block out the noise of everyday life.

If you face any of these challenges each day, you should come along,

1.  General Pain Points (life throwing curveballs)

2.  Barriers (no time or resources)

3.  Reluctance (hesitating to change)

4.  Self-Belief Issues (doubting yourself)

5.  Procrastination (putting things off)

6.  Motivation (losing your drive)

7.  Relapse (slipping back into old habits)

8.  Action Phases (struggling to start or keep going)

9.  Maintenance (keeping up progress)

10.  Discipline (staying focused)

11.  Consistency (sticking with it)

12.  Avoidance (dodging tough tasks)

This is a day to help you understand what really matters in your life & I’ll take you through how to change the way you deal with these challenges . 

Spots are limited, so if this speaks to you, just send me an email to [email protected] to find out more and reserve your place. 

This could be the decision that changes your life!
