Lots of people start therapy expecting quick, immediate change. But while some people might feel better after just a session or two, true emotional and behavioural shifts take time.

Progress isnโ€™t always straightforward either. There might be pauses, setbacks and times where you feel frustratedโ€ฆ but itโ€™s all part of the process.

Therapy is all about understanding yourself, building resilience, and finding new ways to relate to yourself and others - and this takes time!

So donโ€™t rush yourself. Go at your own pace.

Most people get assessed for ADHD or autism to finally get some answers, not just to have a label attached to them. So what happens once the assessment is done?

For some, their assessment can feel like the end of the process. They get a report and are left to take the next steps on their own.

At Dr Jo Gee Psychological Therapies, ADHD and ASD assessments are just one part of a wider, integrated pathway. We take time to discuss what the report means and what support might be helpful moving forward (even if you donโ€™t receive a diagnosis!).

We offer access to ๐ฆ๐ž๐๐ข๐œ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง where appropriate, as well as a range of ๐€๐ƒ๐‡๐ƒ-๐ข๐ง๐Ÿ๐จ๐ซ๐ฆ๐ž๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž๐ซ๐š๐ฉ๐ข๐ž๐ฌ, including DBT and CBT.

You donโ€™t need to look for another psychiatrist for medication titration, or research therapy options on your own. Assessment, medication and therapeutic support are all available under one roof, within one experienced team.

This continuity of care means you get joined-up support thatโ€™s tailored to you, rather than fragmented care youโ€™re left to navigate alone.

January doesnโ€™t necessarily set the tone for the rest of the year.

If this month has been slow and difficult, or if youโ€™ve felt unmotivated over the last few weeks, thatโ€™s okay. Progress doesnโ€™t happen on a calendar, and your wellbeing isnโ€™t measured by how productive you are.

Itโ€™s been a month with little sunlight, cold weather and non-stop rainโ€ฆ so itโ€™s okay if you havenโ€™t been at your best this month. Thereโ€™s still plenty of time and opportunities in the year to hit your goals!

For many people, an assessment can help them finally understand why the world has felt so confusing or overwhelming, or why theyโ€™ve felt misunderstood for so much of their life.

Sure, running away from your emotions and avoiding them works in the short term. You can distract yourself, push those feelings away, or keep yourself busy to avoid facing them.

But over time, these emotions that you havenโ€™t acknowledged or processed yet start to resurface - and this time, they feel even more intense.

Avoiding emotions is something many of us get so used to doing, it can be hard to start actually addressing them instead. Therapy helps people learn safe ways to approach emotions gradually, so they donโ€™t feel overwhelmed or stuck in a cycle of avoidance.

What do you do when your emotions overwhelm you?

Itโ€™s easy to react before we have enough time to really understand whatโ€™s happening, which is why itโ€™s good to have a few techniques to rely on when things feel like too much.

This simple pause-based skill slows things down just enough to create some space between your feelings and actions. Just by noticing how youโ€™re feeling and identifying what you need in that moment, you reduce the likelihood of responding on autopilot (and possibly regretting it later!).

Thereโ€™s nothing wrong with having strong emotions, but learning how to respond to them with therapy techniques like this makes those feelings much easier to handle.

We all know what itโ€™s like to feel tired and fed up. But burnout is more than just that.

Burnout develops over time, when stress is constant and you just canโ€™t seem to get as much rest as your body and mind need. It can affect anyone, but it tends to be more common in those who are highly responsible, caring, or under a lot of pressure, whether at work or at home.

If you get burnt out, you might feel irritable and sensitive, or maybe even emotionally numb and detached, unable to care about the things you once enjoyed.

Sometimes recovery is as simple as taking a break, but other times you might have to adjust your expectations, set some boundaries, or rely on your support systems.

Today is Blue Monday. You might have heard people call it โ€œthe most depressing day of the year.โ€

Blue Monday is far from anything clinical, but it is true that many people tend to feel lower around this time of year.

With the excitement of Christmas in the rearview mirror, we have to deal with short days and bad weather, not to mention some financial pressure, fatigue and emotional comedown from the festive period. All this builds up and can leave people feeling flat, unmotivated and even emotionally drained.

So if today feels heavy, thereโ€™s nothing wrong with you. In fact, itโ€™s totally normal. Itโ€™s just a response to your environment, circumstances and recovering nervous system.

Let yourself take it easy this week - it takes time to get back into the swing of things in January!

Grounding skills can be life-changing once you start using them in your day-to-day life. Theyโ€™re designed to bring attention back to the present moment when anxiety or panic starts to take over your mind.

They do this by engaging your senses to shift the nervous system out of โ€œthreat modeโ€ and into something calmer and more manageable. It wonโ€™t make all those difficult feelings evaporate entirely, but it reduces their intensity enough to help you feel steadier.

Skills like this are most effective if you practice them often, not just in moments of crisis. So pay attention to how your body responds to stress, and if you ever need to steady yourself, thereโ€™s plenty of grounding techniques to help you out.

Being emotionally numb might seem confusing or worrying at first. It might feel as though youโ€™ve suddenly stopped caring, or that your emotions have disappeared into thin air.

But in reality, this numbness is often a protective response. When your nervous system has been overwhelmed for a long period, it might turn down your emotionsโ€™ intensity as a way of coping.

This doesnโ€™t mean the emotions you value have gone forever - theyโ€™re likely just being held back to help you cope.

Still, reconnecting with your emotions after your system has been under so much strain can take time. Instead of forcing all your feelings to the surface at once, therapy can be an effective way to restart your nervous system at a safe, guided pace.

Boundaries are often misunderstood. Most people think theyโ€™re just ultimatums or pushing people away. But thatโ€™s not true - boundaries are all about being clear on what you need to feel safe and emotionally balanced.

Healthy boundaries help define where you end and someone else begins. They can be internal (like what you expect of yourself) or external (like how you allow others to treat you).

If you struggle setting boundaries, youโ€™re not alone. Many people find this difficult because they want to avoid conflict or disappointing others.

But learning to communicate boundaries is important. Donโ€™t worry - it doesnโ€™t make you selfish; instead, it creates relationships that are more honest, sustainable and keep your emotional wellbeing in check!

Just because you feel like youโ€™re falling short doesnโ€™t mean you actually are.

There are so many people who hold themselves to far higher standards than they would ever apply to anyone else. And when theyโ€™re tired or emotionally stretched, that gap between effort and expectation can feel even worse.

This is where therapy can help you recognise your effort and not focus solely on the outcomes, helping you to become more realistic and kinder to yourself.
