Are you a perfectionist? This trait can be helpful, making us effective and productive. Sometimes it can get in the way making it harder to live up to our own expectations. Perfectionism can also stop us seeking help when we really need it. We can feel we ought to be able to solve our own problems. Often, talking to someone is the first step to moving forwards. If you are feeling that you could do with talking things through, we can help. Send us a direct message or email to info@ilkleytalkingtherapies.co.uk and we'll reply as soon as possible.

If you are feeling suicidal or you need urgent help, please don't try to cope alone.
You can call the Samaritans on 116 123 any time.

Spread a little kindness
This week is Children's Mental Health Week. As parents it's sometimes hard to know how to support our children when they're having a tough time. Place2be is encouraging everyone to help build children's resilience by spreading a little kindness this week. Here are 4 ideas for helping your kids learn to be kind:
1. Point out acts of kindness where ever you see them.
2. Let them see you being kind...you'll inspire them to do the same.
3. Comment when you notice your child being kind.
4. Be kind to yourself - let your child hear you using kind words about yourself.
Kindness can reduce our stress and make us happier, young or old. Have a good week!
