I am grateful for the new room I am now working from in the quiet Southernhay West gardens, by the Mercure hotel. My clients have a great view, they can relax, feel safe and open to a new year of depth and transformation.

Please give me a like, follow me, and await for great things this year from me!!! Alda

Navigating the Turbulent Waters of Anger
We all have moments when our emotions threaten to get the better of us, especially when navigating the challenges life throws our way. But before these feelings overwhelm, let's turn to an age-old, yet profoundly effective technique. A simple act, yet deeply therapeutic. Here's a self-care tip that resonates with many on their journey towards self-awareness and healing.

"Put pen to paper. Write out what’s triggering your anger without judgment. Giving a voice to your feelings can provide clarity and allow you to approach situations more rationally."

Today's quote serves as a gentle reminder of this transformative power.
