State Register - Clinical Counsellor - Queensland Counsellors Association (QCA) #230-80156; PLEASE NOTE: JOHN NUTTING DOES NOT TREAT OR PROVIDE ANY THERAPY FOR ANY CLINICAL OR DIAGNOSABLE MEDICAL OR PSYCHIATRIC CONDITION PERSONAL NOTES: I am 74 years old. (I don't think like it, don't feel like it, don't act like it.) Birthday 21 March. I am a grandfather with three grandchildren. I am trying to retire from lecturing but my pusher keeps putting temptations in my way. Another self, I think it's the 'take it easy' one has managed to get me into a 4-wheel drive Land Rover Discovery with which I and my selves are trying to escape from Brisbane more often, much to the pusher's disgust. I like classical music (and 40s and 50s Broadway musical numbers) when I am in my study writing and traditional country and western and classic jazz when I am driving. I am a direct descendant of Captain William Bligh (Mutiny on the Bounty). Bligh later became the fourth Governor of the NSW Colony in Australia where he got himself another mutiny (the Rum Rebellion). Our family have some very interesting selves handed down from generation to generation including some interesting (good and bad) variations of the 'Captain Bligh inner selves'. On the other hand I also have a strong mutineer- rebel self as the opposite. I have always had trouble with an overly strong pusher, a rational mind, a knower or three and a 'gotta make it work self' as well, all of whom are great for writing books and setting up websites, not so good for feeling or being, so that is still my biggest challenge, but I'm getting there. Fourteen years ago had a totally unexpected heart attack and finished up with a bypass op. (No family history, no high cholesterol, not overweight, not a smoker - guess that it had to be pusher related). Gradually learning to take it easier, stop and smell the roses, exercise more better diet. My heart is now in better condition than it has been in years. My unbalanced core beliefs are that I am of no value unless I am working, and that I can't make anything work. My compensating skills include helping everyone else to feel valuable and helping everyone else to get things to work. (What a combination for a relationship counsellor!) My primary addiction is workaholism but I am somewhere in recovery. I am dedicated to working the Twelve Steps to maintain my recovery (when I should be going to a meeting I'm often too busy helping others!) I love you all John MY CHILDREN:
You can tell/see I am very proud of them and their outlook on life. They are not so happy with my meat eating and my slightly less green attitudes and constantly seek to re-educate me. My dog is an Australian Blue Heeler named "Captain Bligh" My Australian travels with map of Australia overlayed on map of USA showing comparative size, distances and areas.
