Exciting news!🎉

So this is me feeling very vulnerable & slightly uncomfortable but loving what the photo represents - that my counselling services have officially partnered with PureGym — one of the UK’s largest gym operators — to combine physical fitness with mental wellbeing.

Because taking care of your mind matters just as much as taking care of your body.

New Year. New You?

Does how you look on the outside align with how you feel on the inside?

Well – here we are again – the end of another year and Christmas is just around the corner!

I wonder what that means for you?

The festive season can put us in either a positive or negative frame of mind – depending on the meaning it holds for us.

For some, the spiritual significance, the anticipation of connecting with family and friends, exchanging gifts and sharing food can be positive.

For others, it can bring on feelings of negativity for all sorts of reasons – it may be a reminder that those we once loved are no longer with us; there could be financial worries and wondering how we’re going to cope; it could be a reminder of the dysfunctions in our family relationships and how we’re going to navigate around those.

Whatever Christmas and this time of year means for you, please know that if you are struggling & need someone to talk to, here are some numbers of helpful organisations you can contact.

Please don't suffer in silence. It really does help to talk.

Sending love, joy and peace to you all.

People who go silent when something hurts them - are not giving you the silent treatment - their silence is a trauma response. It's called emotional withdrawal.

They learned that speaking up gets them misunderstood or dismissed so now when they are upset - they shut down completely. Inside their head, they are explaining everything perfectly - what they feel, what went wrong & what they need from you but those words never make it out because it feels safer for them to stay quiet & avoid being misunderstood again. They withdraw into themself until the hurt passes. They don't need someone to fix them - they just need someone to understand that this is what is happening for them.

Sound like you or someone you know?

Talking to a qualified therapist, like myself, can help to identify the root cause of this reaction and implement new, more healthier, ways of behaviour.

Day 5 - Intrapersonal Wellness

Some key aspects of intrapersonal wellness include:

·         Self-awareness: Understanding your values, strengths, weaknesses, emotions, and motivations.

·         Emotional regulation: Being able to manage stress, anger, sadness, or anxiety in healthy ways.

·         Self-esteem and confidence: Having a realistic and positive view of yourself.

·         Resilience: Bouncing back from setbacks and staying optimistic in challenges.

·         Mindfulness and reflection: Taking time to reflect, meditate, or engage in practices that help you connect with your inner self.

·         Purpose and meaning: Having a sense of direction and feeling aligned with your personal values.

Write down two affirmations, keep them on hand throughout the day and repeat them.

Have a great day! 🙂
