When clients feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unable to think clearly, it can be difficult to know where to intervene.

Join us on Thursday evening when our Deep Dive seminar explores the difference between Decontamination and Deconfusion — two processes that are often spoken about together, but are clinically distinct.

We’ll consider how Adult functioning becomes compromised, how confusion is maintained, and how therapists can intervene without rescuing or overwhelming.
A reflective seminar for practitioners working with complexity.

Thursday 15 January 2025 6 - 8pm online. Book your place https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/ta-deep-dive-110-decontamination-vs-deconfusion-tickets-1975823781117

❄️ The first week of January is coming to close and that alone is worth pausing for.

Before looking ahead, we are gently inviting you to look at where you are now. Not at goals or plans but instead at how this week actually felt.

What did you notice in your body?

❓More tired than expected?
❓A bit steadier?
❓Still foggy?
❓Or maybe quietly hopeful.

In therapy, we start with awareness.
Your mood, your energy, your nervous system all offer useful information. They are not asking to be judged or fixed.

So here’s a question to sit with during this weekend:

🌱 As this first week ends, what is your body asking for right now?

❄️ We arrived in 2026. Many people feel the pressure, at this time of the year, to set New Year’s resolutions. Shops fill with healthy food and exercise gear. The message is clear: start again. Change yourself, reinvent yourself.

But January sits in the middle of winter.

The days are short. The mornings are dark. The cold pulls us inward. This season asks us to slow down, to rest, and to protect our energy.

In nature, this is not the start of a new cycle. Growth begins later, in March, when light and warmth return.🌱

So instead of pushing for change, this time of year may ask for care.

🤔 We are wondering : How are you looking after yourself right now?

Feedback like this from our TA101 participants means so much.
Our aim is always to create a spacious, welcoming learning environment where theory comes alive through reflection, dialogue and shared experience.

If you’re curious about communication, how we interact with each other or Transactional Analysis in general, the 2 day TA101 is a great place to start.

Our festive blog ends with three gentle, practical questions to help bring meaning back into a busy time:

• Who will I offer a moment of kindness to?
• When will I do it?
• What will I say or do?

No pressure, no perfection — just a chance to connect more deeply with those around us.

If you’re feeling a bit overwhelmed by it all, we hope this helps you come back to what really matters.

🎄 Our final training weekend before Christmas offered a meaningful pause in the rhythm of 2025 at Physis Scotland.✨

Our Foundation Year group immersed themselves in Script theory with depth, openness, and curiosity, held with care by our wonderful tutors - Fiona Firman PTSTA-P, Fiona Cook PTSTA-P and Kate Simpson CTA-P ❤️

📚Learning unfolded through rich theory, reflective conversation, creativity, and play, allowing ideas to land not just in the mind, but in lived experience.

Thank you to our students for your commitment and courage, to our trainers for your wisdom and presence, and to our wider Physis staff and community for the warmth and connection that holds it all together. We close 2025 feeling grateful, grounded, and deeply inspired. ❤️✨🙏🏻

🌕☀️ Today is the winter solstice. The word “solstice” comes from the Latin words sol (sun) and sistere (to stand), and it means "The day the Sun stays still".

It is also the shortest day of the year, a quiet turning point where light is at its least and stillness is invited. Rather than rushing toward what comes next, this moment asks us to pause, to notice what has been held in the dark, and to allow it some space. 🍵☕

In therapeutic work, we know that change often begins here , not in brightness or certainty, but in slowing down, listening, and letting experience settle.

⭐ Our invitation to you:
Take a few minutes today to pause. You might sit in silence, write a few lines, or light a candle.

⭐ If it feels right, share one word or reflection in the comments: something you are carrying into the gradual return of the light. ⤵️
