Intellectualising is a coping strategy that helps someone to avoid their feelings by focusing on facts and logic.

How often do you intellectualise your feelings?

For example, lets say you go for a job interview and miss out on getting the role.

Here is an example of overintellectualising:

It’s fine…there are plenty more jobs out there. Maybe someone better came along for the role; it’s not the end of the world. There are plenty of people worse off and I’m grateful for opportunity, I’ll get back on the job hunting tomorrow.

Here is an example of someone in touch with emotions:

I’m really disappointed actually, I was really hopeful that I’d get that job. It’s hard putting myself out there and getting turned down. I know there will be other opportunities, but tonight I think I need to just look after myself. I’m feeling a bit demoralized.

Overintellectualising can work okay in the short term, but as a long-term strategy it can mean you’re out of touch with what you really feel. This is a problem because what you feel tells you what you need. When you disconnect from emotions this can lead to feelings of emptiness, flatness…like something is missing.

As Russ Harris from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy says 'if one option was obviously far better than the other, then you wouldn't have a dilemma in the first place!''

As the year comes to a close and you are surrounded by motivational quotes and people talking about their goals for next year, I just wanted to remind you that it is totally okay to be content with how things are right now, even if they aren't perfect. Have a beautiful 2021.

Christmas and New Years is often portrayed as a time of fun and connection with our closest family and friends. However, the reality of Christmas for many people is very different to this Hallmark version. This time of year can bring up a huge array of emotions. We can mourn people no longer in our lives, crack under the pressure of family drama, feel incredibly isolated, be stressed from the financial strain of Christmas, all whilst wearing a mask that everything is okay. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you are feeling like this, I see you. I'm thinking of you. It will be over soon for another year. Until then, make time to do things that bring you joy and be around people that re-energise you. Ask for help and open up to those you trust. Most importantly, know you are not alone.

Gratitude really had a moment around 2016-2018 in pop psychology, but for good reason. Research shows people who list 3 things they are grateful for each day for a week are happier then people who listed 3 things a day they complained about or 3 things a day that were neutral. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There is so so so much to be grateful for. Can you walk? talk? Do you have a friend who makes you laugh? Is the sun shining? Did you have your favourite coffee this morning?

As Christmas creeps up on us (or more likely hits us in the face from every angle haha...) I wanted to reach out to those of you who might not be feeling the best this time of year. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Christmas can highlight what you feel you are missing or the fact you don't have a hallmark perfect family or relationship. It can mark unachieved goals or remind you of past loss. Please be gentle with yourself at this time. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If this sounds like you, do don't need to suffer alone. Please reach out to your GP or a psychologist for help to get through this season. You don't have to do it alone.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

One tiny thing. It could be googling a class near you or texting an old friend.
