23/12/2022

Wishing everyone a replenishing break over the holidays.

One Life Counselling & Psychotherapy will be back on the 10th of January, 2023, and we look forward to seeing you then.

Meanwhile, if you're looking for an alternative to a New Year's Resolution, feel free to check out this free e-course to "find your word" for 2023 - a word that may become a kind of touchstone, supporting you to keep what's important to you at the centre of your year ahead. (Thank you, Susannah Conway - I always enjoy this process). https://susannahconway.mykajabi.com/unravel-your-year-2023

"Beneath every behaviour there is a feeling.
And beneath each feeling is a need.
And when we meet that need rather than focus on the behaviour,
we begin to deal with the cause, not the symptom"
~ Ashleigh Warner

We each have the power to create it from nothing,
And the more we give,
The more it grows”

“I saw that worrying had come to nothing
And I gave it up.
And took my old body
and went out into the morning
and sang.”

‘And’.. one of the most powerful words...

“Things that can be equally true:

You are resilient... AND ... need a break.
You gave your all... AND ... need to back out.
You are independent... AND ... still need others.
You were sure... AND ... things changed.
You are kind... AND ... have boundaries.
Others have it worse... AND ... your pain is valid.
You did your best... AND ... now you know more”

Equal truths✨

worked,
It would have worked by now”
