Here at Empathic Connections Counselling we blend all that is mental health with spiritualism 💜✨ and this weeks focus settles onto ADHD.

With the brilliant resources over at ECC has been exploring their A-Z of mental health. It’s been so useful to view so much information in one place- I recommend you check it out 💯

Being a spiritual person in a very pragmatic society can leave you feeling drained at the best time of times. Now layering that with ADHD and we have the recipe for burnout!

Spend some time taking our content and you’ll find it helpful, I’m sure!

Drop us a 💜 in the comments to connect to our heart space! It always brings a smile to our faces to see who we help!

Affirmation 60:
It’s ok to make mistakes.
This means;
-I am still worthy of love
-I am still worthy of goodness
-I am still equal and enough
Making mistakes does not diminish my worth

Oftentimes, after we’ve been through a particularly emotionally taxing time, we’re left carrying a deep sense of unworthiness.

That feeling of being “less than” can ripple into multiple areas of life — our relationships, our work, our self-trust.

When we gently process the layers of emotion, nine times out of ten, we discover that at the root sits a core belief: “I’m not good enough.” 😔
This belief is often formed in childhood and quietly repeated through patterns across our lives.

But all is not lost.
These beliefs can be healed and reshaped in therapy — alongside learning to manage and reframe thoughts through affirmations like this:

“Making mistakes does not diminish who I am.”

When used intentionally and consistently, thoughts can become powerful tools for healing the wounds within.

If this resonates with you, come and follow to join our spiritual counselling community 🙏💜✨ It would be so lovely to have you with us.

There are still good people in this world, holding onto our inner light and sharing it with others.
Being steady. Being grounded.
Choosing to be the stability in a world influenced by so much negativity.

I can’t remove all the world’s darkness, but I can bring you light.
And remind you that not everyone associates with what’s been headlining the news and media.

There is more goodness here than you think.

Keep fighting the good fight. 💜✨

Affirmation:
“I am choosing to
stay close to myself.
I am breaking the
pattern of
self-abandonment.
I am learning
that I am safe, now.“

Recently, we’ve been focusing on healing the wounds that sit beneath addiction.

Because addiction isn’t just about alcohol, shopping, scrolling, or overworking.
It’s often about trying to numb the pain of disconnection from ourselves.

When we feel unsafe in our own emotions…
we reach for something to quiet them.

One simple tool to begin reconnecting your mind and body is affirmation.
I’ve crafted this one for you to use intentionally and consistently.

Here’s how:

1️⃣ Observe your inner world.
Notice when you feel numb, overwhelmed, heightened, or caught in negative thoughts.

2️⃣ Gently interrupt the pattern.
Repeat the affirmation out loud or silently. Let it meet the moment.

3️⃣ Repeat consistently.
Repetition retrains the nervous system.
Return to step one. Stay curious. Stay compassionate.

This isn’t about forcing positivity.
It’s about slowly teaching yourself that you are safe now.

🤍 Save this so you can come back to the steps when you need them.
🤍 Comment “I stay” if you’re choosing reconnection over escape.
🤍 Follow for more healing conversations around addiction and self-reclamation.

With love, and empathy, Rebecca 💜✨🕉️

I’m deeply passionate about helping people rediscover who they are —
to reclaim themselves after years of disconnection.

Much of my work has focused on addiction, in its many shapes and forms.

Did you know there are countless types of addiction?
And do you know what I’ve consistently seen at the root of them?

✨Early life adversity that led to a rejection of the self.
✨Growing up feeling like something was “wrong” with you — instead of recognising the impact others had on you during key developmental years.
✨Using substances, behaviours, or patterns to numb emotional pain and push down hurt that felt too overwhelming to hold.

Addiction is rarely about pleasure.
It’s about survival.

If this resonates with you, let this be your sign to start therapy —
to seek the support, safety, and compassion you deserved back then and still deserve now.

Love, Rebecca 💜✨🕉️

What happens to the soul and mind of a person who has lived at the mercy of relentless negativity from those meant to nurture and protect them?

It breaks a person.
It erodes self-worth.
It leaves wounds so deep that addiction can become an attempt to soothe the pain.

The pain of having your true self rejected.
Misunderstood.
Unaccepted.
And, in some cases, abandoned.

Let me share something with you: they were wrong.

It was not ok for them to project their unhealthy agendas onto you—through their warped ideas of who they believed you should be.

It was not ok that they failed to support you, left you out in the cold, or made no genuine attempt to heal the relationship.

It was not ok that you had to gather the shattered remains of your dignity and self-respect just to still be here today.

But you are here.
And that matters.

So let’s put a stop to it—here and now.
Let today be the day you claim more mental strength than you have ever known.

Allow this affirmation to settle into your mind as truth.
And every time the echoes of the past try to speak, return to it.
Say it.
Repeat it.
Let it rewrite the story.

With love, and empathy, Rebecca 💜✨🙏🕉️

As we approach ‘blue Monday’, my thoughts and heart are with everyone feeling low at this time of year 😔 be sure to look after yourself as much as possible;

✨meeting your basic needs- food, water, warmth, sleep, shelter.
✨compassionate self-thoughts. Understanding and accepting that you’re feeling low.
✨allowing yourself to be in your feelings. Cry if you need to. Write onto paper your frustrations and then rip it up!

I see you, I understand 🙏💜✨🕉️

Recently, we’ve been focusing on addiction and how its root is often linked to a disconnection from one’s true self.

Addiction can be deeply challenging to the soul and often shows up in ways that aren’t always obvious. Over-giving, overspending, workaholism, and sugar dependence are just a few examples that aren’t typically recognised as addiction. This isn’t to minimise the very real struggles of drug or alcohol addiction, but rather to soften judgement and expand our understanding of what addiction can actually look like.

This affirmation has been intentionally created to speak to the unconscious and subconscious mind—helping to gently introduce new thoughts that bring you back into alignment with your original, authentic self. The more connected you are to who you truly are, the less likely you’ll feel the need to rely on addictions to numb or cope.

✨ Instructions ✨
• Take a deep breath in
• Read the affirmation silently or out loud
• Repeat it as many times as you feel called to, or at least 3 times
• Practice this 3 times a day, and whenever negative self-talk arises. Gently replace those thoughts with this affirmation. It takes conscious effort, but the long-term impact is powerful.

If this is an area of your life you struggle with, consider starting therapy to gain support, create stability, and help guide you back onto your path.

Love, Rebecca 💜✨🙏🕉️

Being connected to your emotions, feelings, and inner thoughts—and accepting them as a source of strength—is deeply empowering and healthy.

It’s ok to have emotional depth. It doesn’t make you weak; it reflects true inner strength.

Vulnerability strengthens relationships. When we allow ourselves to be seen and nurtured, real bonding and connection can grow—and be beautifully reciprocated.

Your feelings are your inner compass, gently guiding you through your journey in life.

The new year can bring us a time to pause and reflect, a time to notice more about ourselves, and a time where many people feel encouraged to create changes in their lives.

My focus has recently been on addiction, and how at the root is a protective mechanism to disconnect from the self. This makes sense, because at some point in a persons life the nervous system learned that it felt overwhelmed being connected to their feelings, and emotions in the body- so addiction served as a way to keep that distance manageable- to stay disconnected.

I understand, and empathise, as well as feel deeply saddened because disconnection means also being separated from the full experience of joy. Yes you’ll feel numbed from the heavy feelings, but also from the lighter ones,too.

This got me thinking, what if you could gently reconnect, little by little? What if you didn’t have to feel all the heavy feelings to heal?

So I created this affirmation to help you practice coming back to your body. To gently return home. Simply repeat it to yourself frequently.

Let me know if this resonates with you by leaving a 💜 in the comments! 💜✨

What is it about the ‘special’ times of the year that can raise so many heavy, and complex feelings to the surface?! Ugh 😩

If you’re currently going through some rough feelings, I see you! I understand ❤️‍🩹

There’s often so much pressure on and around ‘special’ occasions, alongside feelings of loneliness and mental health challenges. It’s ok if you feel like this 😔

Thinking of you…
