Grief is not linear. 

We like to think that grief is much like a dark, miserable valley; death drops us off in the middle of that horrible place, and we think if we just keep going, each day we’ll be a little closer to the sun and a little higher above the worst of that valley floor. That view has never been helped by the stage of grief model proposed by Kubler-Ross and used by many (denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance). It’s handy - but completely untrue; grief is just not that straightforward, something any of us who work with grief could tell you. 

As StuckLess is moving into the Northern Tablelands (Guyra, to be specific), I’ve decided to offer a discount to new customers.

Sessions with me cost $120 each. The first ten men who sign up for sessions will receive a discount for $50 off per session for the first five sessions - that’s $250 off.

All you need to do is contact me, discuss getting help and book in - I’ll send your code, and that’s it - you pay the lower rate for your first sessions, simple!

If you’d asked me this question as a child the answer would have been simple.

I grew up in a world where my father - a big, strong man who worked on the rigs - idolised John Wayne. That was a true brave man; he stood against the bad guys, saved the women and children, rode into the darkness against the guns and the arrows. I had a childhood steeped in post-war English culture, where war movies were played every week. My heroes were the soldiers who marched off to war and gave their lives for king and country, who stood on the bow of the sinking ship and waved the women and children off to safety.

Feeling stuck is hard to describe—and yet, if you’ve experienced it, you know it. It’s not just a bad day or a moment of hesitation. It’s deeper than that. It's like standing at the edge of something you can't name, knowing you need to move but feeling completely unable to take the step.
