Been a little quite on here recently as I've had a lot going on and some times you just need to take time out from everything.
I saw this the other day and it's made me think about emotional resilience. It's no secret that I've struggled lately with bereavement and stress but I'm lucky in that I have a few special people around me that has supported me through this tough time.
Emotionally strong people are proactive in dealing with their emotions and it's time for me to be more proactive and take ownership of my feelings instead of falling into old pattern.

I see this alot, and I've been guilty of it myself. We really need to stop negative self talk in it's tracks.

Trauma isn't always some big terrifying event that happened in our past, sometime it's lots of little things and how we perceived them as a child. This can affect us well into adulthood but can be worked through with the help of a therapist.

Remember when feeling anxious to ground yourself in the here and now. Very often I find my clients come to me saying they have anxiety and its often fears and worries that haven't and may never happen. I find journaling helps me when I'm feeling anxious. Counselling can help you find what work best for you as it can be different for everyone.

The psychological effects of Valentine's Day can vary widely depending on individual experiences and circumstances. For some, the holiday may serve as a source of joy and connection, strengthening bonds with loved ones. For others, it may exacerbate feelings of loneliness, isolation, or unworthiness. Two tips to help cope with valentines day.
1. Staying away from social media will protect you from the constant reminder that you just got heartbroken. Instead, use the time to focus on taking care of yourself. 2. Treat yourself - Whether it's a great meal, a day at the spa, or a gift you've been eyeing, treat yourself to something special. Most of all take care of yourself 💝
