Be Kind to your Mind! 🥰

Leslie-Ann Glen - Psychoemotional Counselling and Meditation can tell you all about the benefits of meditation on mental health - she studied the neuroscience of meditation for her Masters 🧠

Come and join a slightly different meditation: uniting the power of essential oils (did you know each oil has it's own frequency?) with Alessia Norcia and a guided meditation to give your physical, mental and emotional health a bit of TLC 💛

This is so true and is why I always leave the door open for clients to come back to therapy at any time, regardless of how long it's been since we ended the work.
It's also a good reminder in this 'upward progress trend' society that we don't always work this way or fit that mould 📈
Life is beautiful and difficult at the same time and it's OK to accept and honour both.
We are not shiny robots, we are human beings full of complex emotions and that's what makes us special.
If your mental health is causing obstacles to accessing everyday tasks or experiencing joy, feel free to get in touch to see how counselling can support you during this tough patch 💙

The Maya Angelou quote of "start where you are, use what you have, do what you can" comes to mind with this. Try out setting boundaries with the people you feel the safest around first.
If boundaries are a new practice for you it can feel like quite a risky thing...
☆ Perhaps you are worried about the other person's reaction to your boundary?
☆ Perhaps you don't feel you have the right to say no?
☆ Perhaps you feel your voice isn't important?
☆ Perhaps you fear rejection or abandonment as a result of setting boundaries?
There are lots of 'life scripts' we have wrapped around our relational dynamics. It is so helpful to explore these so that they become conscious and then challenged/ re-written.
If this post speaks to you, feel free to get in touch. It's never too late to begin this relational work to benefit you and those around you.

We have a whole paint palette of feelings 🎨
They are all valid, they are all communicators and it's OK to experience them ALL.
This can be pretty radical if you were brought up in a home where there was no room for your anger, or your parent couldn't hold your distress. We try to supress the feelings we learn are 'unacceptable'. They can become overwhelming and uncontained which can feel frightening. 🔥 Or, we might disconnect completely and struggle to feel anything...you can't selectively numb unfortunately.❄️
You are not 'too much' for having emotions, you are human; it's completely normal and healthy! Acceptance and curiosity are key to help you know yourself a little better. Along with a safe person with whom you can begin to express and explore your whole rainbow of emotion.
