This approach is all about each individual's requirements within the relationship, as well as strengthening the basis upon which your relationship has been created. This is about being willing to own your part in your relationships and make choices to change. You don't need to be in a relationship either. As long as you are willing to fully engage, to take responsiblity for you, your choices and emotions, this experience will facilitate changes for you. There is no formula or magic results, nor fixing you. This approach is based in choice, honesty, respect, clarity and love.
Most of the time we aren’t aware of what is motivating our choices. So we operate from default patterns or choices, doing what we know or have learnt. We rarely have sufficient awareness of this patterning, to make clear and healthy choices. To change this, we must be willing to open up and explore these patterns or programs we have operating. We need to be willing to 'unplug' from what we have known. Yet we also need to be familiar with this too, so we are aware if or when, we plug in again. Ultimately when we discharge the unexpressed emotional patterning, that feeds this program, it ceases to have any life-force. We then become free of it.
The central premise of this approach is that unexpressed emotions are stored in our body and become patterns in our life. These emotions are often expressed in unhealthy ways, which create problems in our relationships. These patterns then become the basis of how we make our choices. We are not even aware of most of these patterns, yet they still exist. This approach is all about providing you with a safe and supportive place to open up these patterns and to release them. This then allows you to reset your life, based in Who you are, not what has happened to you, or what you have been told about yourself. Essentially at the simplest level, a human being is an energy system, yet most of us don’t have a manual for it. So we either struggle to understand what is actually happening, wing-it or become depleted. We then unknowingly seek ways to re-energize ourself. Often we engage in the same distractions or even seeking a relationship to do so.
This approach is all about supporting you to develop your own manual. Then you can reclaim Your life and live as you clearly choose, rather than operating with a set of unknown, yet dysfunctional patterns that inhibit you. Essentially you can unplug yourself from the Matrix, you weren’t even aware you were plugged into.
As I intentionally have a small base of clients, you can be assured that your personal requirements for support can be met and accessibility to consultations is ensured in this process of change. This approach is based in over 35 years experience, both professional and personal, you can be confident it is sound, practical and applicable in your daily life.
This experience will allow you to fully comprehend how you are creating your relationships, without guilt, shame or feeling wrong. You will be supported to gently and lovingly open-up at your own pace. You will be guided to explore and connect with how re-occuring patterns impact upon your relationship and how you can create from a fresh place, with awareness. You will experience how it feels to release that which no longer serves you. This allows you to experience the power and freedom of making choices free from these impediments. You will be able to write your own manual for loving and enduring relationships, based in the person you are now, not on your past experiences. You will gain insights that allow you to feel when you are not being the person you want to be. With greater awareness, you can change how you are relating and make different choices if required. With the application of your new experiences you can create the relationships you really want.

Martin Male BSc, has over 35 years experience, supporting people to create loving, healthy and fulfilling relationships. His personal journey of self exploration began with his brother's early death at 23. Since this time Martin has immersed himself in approaches that empower, open and create authentic changes. This approach is based in grounded, practical experience, rather than abstract theoretical concepts. It is not about seeking to label or pathologise behaviour or actions,it is about finding the causes of patterns. This is about you creating and holding a clear sense of Who you are and what is important to you. You will be supported to create, develop and maintain a healthy relationship with yourself first, from here all else is created.
After completing my Psychology and Human Sciences degree at ANU, I undertook four years of intensive training in a variety of somatic therapies, which required my own inner exploration. I have participated in retreats with Dan Millman, Caroline Myss, Dr Brian Weiss and Deepak Chopra and others. I continue to be engaged in exploring the latest approaches from all areas.
