Headspace counselling and hypnotherapy

The season's upon us, festive treats to enjoy
But it's important to remember, we don't all share that joy

Whilst some find it merry, and some find it bright,
Some of us struggle to get through the night.

There are those that are grieving, and others depressed,
The cost of living has many of us stressed.

Anxiety is heightened, with each twinkling light,
Constant bells and music add to our plight.

So be kind and respectful, and gentle to all,
Some dance through the holidays, whilst some of us crawl.

Whatever we do, if we thrive or we rest,
We all have our demons, and we all do our best.

Keep an eye on each other, all round the clock,
And never forget its okay to talk

An amazing festive poem by one of our own… Callum Gibson - Dunfermline Facilitator

Amazing. Just breath in the here and now.

GOD, THIS IS BEAUTIFUL! TAKE THE TIME TO READ IT ❤️
As someone who writes often, I naturally appreciate epic writing when I see it. This morning, I came across this written piece of art and it moved me deeply, so I had to share it with all of you! Not only are these words true theatre, they also act as sound advice ❤️

my brain and
heart divorced

a decade ago

over who was
to blame about
how big of a mess
I have become

eventually,
they couldn't be
in the same room
with each other

now my head and heart
share custody of me

I stay with my brain
during the week

and my heart
gets me on weekends

they never speak to one another

- instead, they give me
the same note to pass
to each other every week

and their notes they
send to one another always
says the same thing:

"This is all your fault"

on Sundays
my heart complains
about how my
head has let me down
in the past

and on Wednesday
my head lists all
of the times my
heart has screwed
things up for me
in the future

they blame each
other for the
state of my life

there's been a lot
of yelling - and crying

so,

lately, I've been
spending a lot of
time with my gut

who serves as my
unofficial therapist

most nights, I sneak out of the
window in my ribcage

and slide down my spine
and collapse on my
gut's plush leather chair
that's always open for me

~ and I just sit sit sit sit
until the sun comes up

last evening,
my gut asked me
if I was having a hard
time being caught
between my heart
and my head

I nodded

I said I didn't know
if I could live with
either of them anymore

"my heart is always sad about
something that happened yesterday
while my head is always worried
about something that may happen tomorrow,"
I lamented

my gut squeezed my hand

"I just can't live with
my mistakes of the past
or my anxiety about the future,"
I sighed

my gut smiled and said:

"in that case,
you should
go stay with your
lungs for a while,"

I was confused
- the look on my face gave it away

"if you are exhausted about
your heart's obsession with
the fixed past and your mind's focus
on the uncertain future

your lungs are the perfect place for you

there is no yesterday in your lungs
there is no tomorrow there either

there is only now
there is only inhale
there is only exhale
there is only this moment

there is only breath

and in that breath
you can rest while your
heart and head work
their relationship out."

this morning,
while my brain
was busy reading
tea leaves

and while my
heart was staring
at old photographs

I packed a little
bag and walked
to the door of
my lungs

before I could even knock
she opened the door
with a smile and as
a gust of air embraced me
she said

"what took you so long?"

Fantastic poem about depression & anxiety by my lovely friend, Sue.

TIME TO TALK

Nobody Knows you called today
Or that you visited me yesterday
Nobody sees you they don't hear
The nasty comments in my ear
You worm your way inside my head
You fill my stomach with feelings of dread
I believe you when you say this stuff
You're weak and just not good enough
But a light went on for me you see
When I realized it's not just me
The old the young rich or poor
Anyone can find you at their door.
I have woken up I know your game
and now's the time to name and shame.
You're not just one you're actually two
You have a friend who works with you
So now I am going to teach you both a lesson and tell the world you're called Depression
Your nasty friend creeping through our society
He goes by the name Anxiety
So in 2020 let's make it our mission
To tell anyone who cares to listen
To spread the word and feel no shame
Whenever someone speaks your name
Because it's time to talk and hide no more
Until nobody lets you through their door.
