Since 2011, PESI AU (formerly PDP) has delivered professional development training programs across Australia for individual professionals and for organisations across the Asia Pacific region.
With headquarters located in Sydney, NSW, we operate as a peer-reviewed Australian training organisation working with our team of expert presenters to create programs and resources for, but not limited to psychologists, social workers, counsellors, psychotherapists, and mental health nurses that are relevant to their current needs and challenges.
Our programs are designed so that professionals can meet the changing demands of their work by providing practical strategies, methods and interventions they can use immediately to improve outcomes for their client and organisational work.
We are dedicated to the highest quality content, products, events, and service and are delighted when asked to tailor a program to the specific needs of a group or organisation.

Much of this video spoke to me, but what if you have no meaningful emotional connections at all? I have only had two short-term relationships, both of which were at least ten years ago and lasted less than one year. The friends I consider close almost to a person live far away and I'm not sure they hold me in reciprocal regard. I have no core group of friends in my hometown (New York City, a city of almost nine million!) whom I see more than one-offs or very rarely. I can't remember the last time I had emotional or physical intimacy. My trauma from inconsistent parenting as a child is only exacerbated by repeated negative experiences trying to make friends, find community, or meet potential partners. The loneliness--and the frustration at not seeing progress for all of my efforts--is only barely tolerable.
It seemed to take forever for me to break the trauma bonds. After 33 years of abusive marriage, he decided to “come clean”about his wh0re in another city, I grieved that information for 6 months, and then his cancer spread and it was me who took care of him for his last few months. I grieved his death and that first year was incredibly painful, especially having to figure everything out (he was financially abusive). It’s been over a year and I made it! I took care of all the business things(better than he ever did), I’m so grateful to see sunsets, have peace in my life, have control over my life and am enjoying my time with genuine people who care. I did go through some therapy and I think it helped a lot. It also helped me to think of him as being broken, my anger has been replaced by compassion and forgiveness and I’m feeling much better
