Therapy with Flo

So often we tighten our grip when life feels uncertain.

But control doesn’t bring peace - it just gets exhausting..

Letting go isn’t giving up.

It’s remembering who you are beneath the tension.

It’s honoring your needs and choosing presence over pressure.

Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do

is soften your hold and let yourself come home to yourself again.

Drop some 🪽🪽🪽if you’re ready to feel lighter.

On Mother’s Day - urgh, the washing machine of emotions!

A label 🏷️ a mother - full of expectation and identity?

The reality can be very different, … for a moment consider all the differences….its a long list and by no means exhaustive!

👉🏻For those who have lost mothers they loved and cherished
👉🏻For those who have lost mothers who they did not
👉🏻For those mothers who have known the loss of a child
👉🏻For those mothers who have gained children they have not born themselves
👉🏻For those who have never known their mother
👉🏻For those who go no contact
👉🏻For those who had mothers who rejected, neglected or abused them
👉🏻For those who are mothers that can’t let go or have mothers that cannot let go of them
👉🏻For those mothers who long to re-discover a new identity
👉🏻For those mothers who are not defined by their role as mother
👉🏻For those mothers who would have made another choice
👉🏻For the mothers who made another choice and live in regret
👉🏻For those mothers who hold on to that identity for its safety
👉🏻For those mothers who care for their own mothers like their child
👉🏻For those mothers who care for others that are not their own
👉🏻For the non mothers out of choice or life’s deliverance who have all the love to give
👉🏻For the mothers who are struggling with the empty nest
👉🏻For the mothers told that ‘they didn’t have a real job’
👉🏻For the mothers whose spouse acts like another child
👉🏻For the mothers that raise children alone
👉🏻For the mothers where your children no longer see you as the mother but as the child
👉🏻 For the fathers that hold the role of mothers and fathers

❓Shall I go on? I am sure you can add more…

Your role is entirely subjective, there is no hierarchy, how you treat anyone and everyone is showing who you are, it’s complex and no one is more judged than a mother.

So, if you find yourself in any of the above 👆🏻 or something else then show yourself compassion, self care, forgiveness, grounding, space whatever else you might need on mother day 🙏🏻 ❤️ wishing you peace and serenity 🙌🏻

ANXIETY

⚠️ Are you suffering with anxiety about current world events ? ⚠️

We need anxiety, it is our brains warning system that we could be danger, but anxiety is …

⭐️ About ‘perceived’ threats not necessarily real ones but our brain and body respond in a real way
⭐️ Our sense of empathy and sensitivity for others can increase our own anxiety
⭐️ We seek control anything we can to avoid the anxiety (fear) but largely things are out of our control

❓ Ask yourself what can I do to cope

⭐️ Notice it. Name it, recognise it, be curious about it
⭐️ Act for yourself. Ask what do I need and consider your whole self : mind, body, spirit 🙌🏻

💡Ideas. Spend time in nature 🌳, play music, dance, walk/move, meditate, mindfulness, connect with others, seek laughter, eat well, reset your sleep hygiene 💤

❓What do you need less of ? 📈
Limit your exposure to news, limit social media and doom scrolling, make a list of what is ‘really’ out of your control and make space from the worry

Strength doesn’t always come from comfort.
It comes from standing still while the wind tested you.

From bending without breaking.
From learning how to stay rooted when everything shook.

Growth remembers every storm —
even when the sky looks calm again.

✨Sharing some helpful tips in this article on finding your counsellor ✨

As a counsellor myself, I expect anyone that approaches me will be looking for their ‘right fit’ and I am very open and welcoming to this approach.

As someone who has had their own therapy I had not done this myself before my training and didn’t even know it was ‘appropriate’, ‘allowed’ or that I wasn’t getting the sales pitch which always made me nervous.

Thankfully, I have since learned that the opposite is true and as a therapist I want you to find the best fit for you 🫶🏻 as this will yield the best results for you - and that matters ❤️

Choosing a therapist can feel overwhelming. Counsellor Kasia Stefanow shares five key things to consider to help you find the right support. 👇 http://ow.ly/jI0u106unOr

Today can be a complicated day for many, with lots of emotions flowing… 💗 we are sending love to you all...

Valentine’s Day can bring pressure, memories, grief, longing, relief, anger, triggers and sometimes all at once.

For survivors it may also stir up reminders of past relationships, expectations of “love” that wasn't safe, or memories of love bombing or traumatic moments.

Please remember:all your feelings are valid.

There is no right or wrong way to feel today.

Love is not just romance.
Love is also boundaries.
Love is choosing peace.
Love is saying no without guilt.
Love is resting.
Love is learning to be gentle with yourself.
Love is kind
Love is freedom

Self-love is also vital! It might look like turning your phone off, not attending something you don’t feel ready for, making yourself a warm drink, or simply breathing through a difficult moment.

If today feels heavy, you are not broken, you are human, and you are healing.

Please know you are not alone 💓

You've got this and we've got you!
