𝗔𝘁𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗦𝘁𝘆𝗹𝗲𝘀: 𝗔 𝗞𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 - According to attachment theory, there are four main attachment styles experienced by people of all ages, including the following:

𝗦𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗲: Secure attachment often leads to stable relationships, healthy boundaries with others, and strong social support.

𝗔𝗻𝘅𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀-𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗼𝗰𝗰𝘂𝗽𝗶𝗲𝗱: Anxious-preoccupied attachments can create relationships that lack trust or thrive on a "chase."

𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲-𝗔𝘃𝗼𝗶𝗱𝗮𝗻𝘁: This attachment style may lead to more distant or casual relationships, sometimes stemming from a fear of commitment.

𝗙𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗳𝘂𝗹-𝗔𝘃𝗼𝗶𝗱𝗮𝗻𝘁: People with this attachment style are often drawn to close relationships yet are simultaneously fearful of them.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗽𝘆?
Therapy isn’t like a chat you’d have with friends or family. It’s a dedicated time for you and your therapist to discuss the issues that brought you to seek support. The focus is on you. Your therapist may offer information, but they won’t try to persuade you to a particular point of view.

They'll guide you through exploring your feelings, past and present experiences, relationships, and behaviours. Together, you'll identify ways to address your concerns and find effective coping strategies.

𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗶𝘀𝘁𝘀 𝗱𝗼:
Offer a safe and confidential space to help you explore emotional problems.
Help you make sense of your world.
Help you explore feelings and thoughts to resolve emotional distress.
Help you towards a better understanding of yourself and others, which may improve your ability to relate to others.

𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗶𝘀𝘁𝘀 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁:
Tell you what to do.
Prescribe drugs – only an appropriate medical practitioner can do this.
Provide specific information about health-related problems, unless they work in a specialised service.
Meet you outside pre-planned sessions.
Talk in detail about themselves and their own problems.

🌧💙 𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘆 𝗕𝗹𝘂𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘆! Or should I say… Happy Just-Another-Monday? 😀 ✨

Did you know that the concept of Blue Monday, supposedly the most depressing day of the year, is actually a myth? It was created in 2005 as part of a marketing campaign and has no scientific basis!

While January can feel a little gloomy after the holiday season, it’s important to remember that feelings of “the blues” aren’t tied to one specific day. Instead, they can be influenced by shorter days, post-holiday blues, or just the January cold. But every day is a new opportunity to embrace change! 🌈 ❤

So focus on your self-care and gratitude! Share something that made you smile today even if it was only a few seconds long! 🎉 ☕

𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗗𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗡𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗮 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗬𝗼𝘂 - You Need Kindness Towards the You Who’s Here.
The idea highlights the importance of practicing kindness toward your current self. Instead of focusing on flaws to be fixed, it encourages acknowledging your strengths, challenges, and experiences as valid parts of who you are right now.

𝗜𝗻 𝗝𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝘄𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁. January isn’t a new year. It’s the deep middle of winter. There’s very little light. Very little warmth. And not a lot of spare energy going around.

So when January arrives and motivation is low, that’s wintering doing its work. This month is for going inward. Hot tea. Early nights. And letting winter be winter.
