After Job spent seven days in silence with his three friends, there came a time when this upright soul succumbed and cursed the day he was born. In poetic form, Job cursed that day, declaring:  Let the day perish wherein I was born; and the Night in which it was said there is a child conceived.  Let that day be darkness, letnot God regard it from above. Neither let the sun come upon it.  Let darkness and the shadow of death stain it. Let the day be purged from the calendar and never see the eyelids of dawn.  Let no joyful noise come from that night. Job's outburst raises the question: Did Satan (or Ha'Satan)  prevail?  While Job did not curse the Almighty, Jobdid curse His wisdom;  as the Lord made such decisions as when Job would be born and the tribulations he would face. Regardless, Job is not cursing the world. He does not wish to destroy everything around him in a fit of wrath. He will contend with what is before him, bringing us through his suffering  in a soul-bearing exercise.  Job calls for those engaged in divination, such as those who would rouse Leviathan (a reference to Canaanite mythology), play their trade and curse his day!  Job voices how he wishes the doors of his mother's womb had been shut and to have perished within or shortly after birth.  He wishes to have long ago reached the destination of stillness. Such would have been a welcome alternative from his suffering. He yearns to be where slave and prisoner are no longer subject to the whips and shouts of the taskmaster. Further, Job proclaims the desire to be among the past Kings and Counsellors of the earth, who built structuresof magnificence that ultimately turned to desolate places, and now lie equal with their subjects.  He brings up the idea,almost as an aside, that we will experience the idle rest of death for a lot longer than we will be active on this earth.  Job is facing a hellish existence.  He ponders why should the Lord give light/life to those bitter in soul.  He laments how God allows him to continue when the Lord's Way has been hidden, after he had walked in it all his life.   He also realizes he lost the Godly hedge of protection he once had.  He is lamenting a perceived broken relationship with God. The loss of his spiritual estate weighs tremendously on Job.  Job closes out the chapter by noting,  For the thing I greatlyfeared has come upon me.  He realized all he had was bestowed on him by God and could be gone in a moment.  He was not naïve, but is explains that he made the proper sacrifices and held the proper reverence, yet tragedy still came.   While Job's sacrificial walk was an unsuccessful attempt to keep such suffering at bay, Job will come to learn that his ordeal is ultimately for a greater, even if it remains unknown,purpose.

Suzie Jamieson, a seasoned therapist, tells Josephine Hughes about her experience following a professional complaint that shook her confidence and career. On March 25, 2021, she received an email from the BACP informing her of a complaint, thrusting her into a world of fear and shame. Despite having a flourishing practice, the complaint triggered a profound personal crisis leading to a two-year ordeal filled with emotional turmoil. Susie candidly discusses the psychological impact of the experience, detailing how the stress of the complaint permeated her life, affecting her mental health and financial stability. She discusses the vulnerability therapists face in their practices and the stigma surrounding complaints. Susie emphasises the necessity for support systems for therapists who encounter such challenges, highlighting her commitment to fostering a safe space for fellow practitioners to navigate their own crises. Her resilience shines through as she illustrates her journey toward recovery, ultimately transforming her experience into a source of empowerment and advocacy for others in the field.Takeaways: Susie Jamieson's journey reveals the profound emotional impact of receiving a client complaint.

Setting appropriate fees in private practice is crucial for maintaining a sustainable and ethical counselling private practice. Josephine Hughes explores the challenges therapists face regarding client attendance and the impact on income. She argues that a well-structured fee system allows therapists to absorb seasonal fluctuations and client cancellations without undue pressure. This enables counsellors to focus on their clients' well-being rather than their personal financial concerns. Throughout the episode, Josephine addresses common money blocks that can hinder therapists from charging what they're worth, highlighting the need to recognise the value of their services. By adopting a more strategic approach to fee setting, therapists can create a practice that not only supports their financial needs but also fosters a healthy therapeutic relationship with their clients.Takeaways: Setting your fees requires a business mindset to sustain your private practice effectively. Understanding your cancellation rates can inform more accurate fee setting strategies for clients. It's essential to factor in seasonal fluctuations and client cancellations when determining your fees. Avoid making pricing decisions based solely on what others in your area charge. Being confident in your value as a therapist allows you to charge appropriately for your services. You are not exploiting clients by charging for your services; you are providing valuable support.

Prince Andrew, the Duke of York, was effectively removed from his position as a Counsellor of State—a role that allows senior royals to deputize for the monarch—due to a series of controversies and legal challenges. In 2019, Prince Andrew stepped back from public duties following a disastrous BBC interview concerning his association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The interview led to widespread criticism and intensified scrutiny of his conduct. Subsequently, in January 2022, amid a civil sexual assault lawsuit filed in the U.S. by Virginia Giuffre, Prince Andrew was stripped of his military titles and royal patronages, and he ceased using the title "His Royal Highness" in an official capacity.In November 2022, further distancing him from royal responsibilities, the House of Lords debated and passed the Counsellors of State Act 2022. This legislation effectively removed Prince Andrew and Prince Harry from the list of royals eligible to serve as Counsellors of State by stipulating that only "working members of the royal family" could undertake such roles. As a result, Princess Anne and Prince Edward were added to the list, ensuring that only active royals would represent the monarch when necessary.(commercial at 7:32)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-63391630Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

[Update] here is the information about who the Secretary of the ACA is https://theaca.net.au/board-and-gover... , however again, no easily / readily accessible information on their contact details. Could the statement, "A member will not make any derogatory or insulting remark against the Association" be perceived as a restriction to your free speech as a member of the Australian Counselling Association (ACA)? What if the ACA didn't provide you with a definition of what a derogatory or insulting remark was? And what if the Code of Ethics and Practice requires you as a member, to take your concern only to the Secretary and then to abide by their direction to you, yet the information on who the Secretary is, is not readily accessible (ie, they are not included on the website with the rest of the Employees), nor is their contact information readily accessible and nor is any information provided about the Directions that the Secretary can provide to you? The latest version of the Code of Ethics and Practice V16 seems to be largely consistent with its previous V15 except for the introduction of 16.5: Responsibility to Colleagues and Others, subsection iv. My guidance to members of the ACA is to reflect on the newest clause and consider requesting definitions of 'criticism', 'derogatory remark', and 'insulting remark' are included in the Definitions section of the Code; that the details and contact information for the Secretary be included in 16.5 (iv) for ease of reference and that a list of Directions that can be made by the Secretary are also included for transparency. This aside, other suggestions would be for the ACA to incorporate inclusive language in the Code and to include definitions of Counsellors v Registered Counsellors. This is important as the two terms are used at different times throughout the document without explanation. It is difficult for members to know what applies to them (or not) without such definitions. The podcast you are about to listen to is a side-by-side comparison of the previous version of the Code with the newest version. I am not a member of the ACA and have attempted to be impartial with respect to the critique / overview of the Code. Any opinions expressed in the video are my own and are my professional opinion only. All comments, thoughts and questions on this video are welcome if they are respectful. I love hearing different perspectives, different points of view and differing opinion and believe that's a wonderful way for us all to learn from each other.  If you would rather watch the video and see the side-by-side comparison, you can do so here. #aca #counsellors #codeofethics
