Business Description
Barossa Strong explores how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviour impact your overall well-being, then looks to hold these experiences in a different light to encourage a more enjoyable life experience. We include mindful practices to help people increase awareness and develop an attitude of acceptance and compassion in the presence of painful thoughts and feelings. We also heavily highlight the role of values to provide direction and action to help people create meaningful lives. Barossa Strong offers people a way to develop a new relationship with pain and suffering relating to depression. A main assumption of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is that pain is a normal and unavoidable part of being human, and that it is perfectly healthy to have whatever emotions arise in the presence of painful experiences. However, people’s understandable desire to control or avoid their own thoughts and feelings can actually lead to much long-term and unnecessary suffering. For example, a person may develop short-term means for coping with their emotions – such as social withdrawal, substance use, or overeating – that actually end up causing even more suffering in the long term.
