About Me:
My name is Brooke Windsor and I am currently a third year student at the University of Canberra in a Bachelor of Science in Psychology with a Major in Counselling degree. This unit I am enrolled in is called Motivation and Emotion. This is meant to be my final semester at University however due to issues with getting into two units for this course it is more realistic that my degree will go into a fourth year. Outside of university I enjoy spending time with my friends and reading a book or catching up on my favourite reality franchises; The Real Housewives.

Work:
I am currently employed as a Youth Worker in an Intensive Therapeutic Transitional Care home under Mackillop Family Services. This home provides young persons with a place to stay, feel safe and learn crucial life and social skills for a 13 week period while arrangements are being made for a more permanent home to be found for them. I am very passionate about this work as I feel like I am able to make an impact on each young person's life that enters the home and I am able to show that adults can be trusted and there are good people in the world here to help. This work also gives me a hand on approach to practise many of the therapeutic techniques I have learned and explored through my study at university.

Book Chapter I'm Working On:
Suffering an as emotion - What is the emotional experience of suffering and how do humans cope with suffering? In this book chapter I explore what the emotional experience of suffering is in humans, the purpose of this suffering and how can humans cope with suffering.
