Taking time for ourselves is a really important part of self-care. One way to switch off from the demands of day-to-day life is by using relaxation exercises. 👣
Relaxation allows physical and/or mental tension to be released. Learning to relax takes practise, as with learning any new skill. It’s a great way to to help us unwind and bring our tensions and anxiety under control.💙
It’s a good idea to practise regularly so we can be more prepared for the more stressful times. Below is an example of a relaxation exercise for you to try.

Did you know we offer Couples Therapy for Depression? 💘

Do you find yourself having the same disagreements with your partner? Does this make you feel low, and leave you wishing you could communicate more? 😓 Would you like to understand your partner more and they understand you more?

Couple Therapy for Depression can help to improve your relationship, by helping you both to work together on the things that create unhappiness, and to move on from stuck and sometimes hostile patterns of interaction. It helps you to understand each other at an emotional level as well as a practical one (how you feel and what you do). 🤝

This can lead to a happier and more fulfilling relationship in which differences between you are not so problematic. This relieves depression which in turn improves your relationship, and this positive cycle improves mood and overall emotional wellbeing. 🫂

To refer for Couples Therapy for Depression, both parties should refer to our service and would need to attend individual assessments initially, with a potential to progress to a Couple's assessment if suitable. You can refer through our website: www.kirklees-talkingtherapies.nhs.uk or by calling 01484 343700.
