❓ Have you ever considered that over-thinking or not being able to say ‘no’ to people might be a response to trauma?

People respond to trauma in different ways, both at the time of the incident and in the time that follows.

Our body cleverly uses these defence responses to protect us at the time of danger, but if they become regular patterns when danger isn’t present, they can cause us harm by damaging relationships and effecting our mental health.

Unlearning these patterns takes time, and sometimes professional support. If you need support with this, consider reaching out to your trusted therapist or today.

💔 Grief and Joy ❤️

It’s hard to believe these can be felt simultaneously. Sometimes it even feels wrong to feel joy in the midst of grief.

But they do not have to cancel each other out. There can still be laughter in times of deep sadness.

It doesn’t mean the grief exists in any less capacity. It is just the way the waves of emotions reveal themselves through the healing process.

People often mistake ADHD as ‘busy’ behaviour, when it is SO much more than that.

❗️Did you know that ADHD can actually help you focus so much on one thing that all other input becomes a blur and you miss important information?

❗️And it can affect time perception, causing rush and continual lateness?

❗️And it can requires routine, but fights against it, craving spontaneity?

Understanding the way your brain works validates your feelings and is the first step in acceptance of yourself and others 💜

Did you know? 💡

During a time of high stress or anxiety a rush of adrenaline releases cortisol through your body to help you respond quickly. But often it doesn’t get completely released through your fight or flight response.

One of the fastest and most effective ways to release the stress hormone cortisol is to take a brisk walk 🚶‍♂️

And I find going with a friend is an added bonus 🐾

We can assume that having joy means no feelings of sadness, as if the two are mutually exclusive. However, emotions do not compete; rather, they coexist.

Even on a ‘good day,’ it is normal to experience a lingering sense of unease sometimes. That’s completely normal.

🌸 I was sent this beautiful reminder at a time when I needed it most.

Do you need some space to breathe?

Does your mind need a rest from the racing thoughts?

Everyone needs rest…even the carers 💜

In a world full of sensory overload and constant ‘busyness’ it can be hard to focus on what’s important, even though it might be right in front of you 🫶🏼

🩷 This week I was privileged to be part of a special event organised by at 🩷
A charity founded by the inspiring out of a desire to support mums of children on the Autism Spectrum.

It was a seminar with 3 wonderful speakers , and , who shared their wisdom with a room full of precious mums.

As an autism mum and therapist who works regularly with mums who have children with autism, it is so encouraging to know there is a tribe on the coast who understand and want to support each other along the journey 🦋
