I recently had a session with a client who has come through over 12-18 months of su***de ideation. As we celebrated I asked her what the key things were that got her through.

And she said:*

It might feel like you will never get there, and the darkness never ends, and it does feel like a long time.. but know it does end. Don't give up.

Find your ears- find the people who are in your corner, who will listen and not just give advice. Be brave enough to open up, even if its scary to share the dark feelings you are having.

Put the phone down, get out of your room and go outside. The reels make you feel worse.

Try and find one thing you enjoy- it may take time, it may not work straight away. I found the gym.

Speak to a professional and keep trying until you find a counsellor or psychologist you connect with.
.. and then one day... you suddenly realise you feel so much better.

Can I share a secret from 17 years of private practice?
The majority of people don't feel they are good enough. Statistically this does not work.
It is not true.
YOU ARE ENOUGH

Boundaries not only protect your resources but also preserve relationships by keeping them sustainable.

If boundaries are not respected it says more about the other than your boundary. Hold firm 💜

It's not always how it looks like on the outside.
Inside every adult, behind every defense- is a desire for connection. A desire to see and be seen.
