Had a lovely time here with dear friends this evening. It was sold out so that must have been great for the charity.

Such a worthy cause 💝

We were joint 9th I believe 🤪

Us Therapists never ever expect gifts when our work with a client comes to an end.

The gift is when clients feel able to go forth with all of the tools they've acquired to live more contently.

Then our job is done. What a gift 🎁

Some clients like to show us what therapy has meant to them, through a gift though and I am very grateful to have received this beautiful Lily today.

The card is in relation to some of the work we've done.

Relatable to us both.

I never ever expect anything and I'm very touched 🥹

I will be uninstalling Facebook for a week from tomorrow.

I will be on annual leave all week apart from Tuesday but will still receive emails and texts.

My scrolling and typing finger needs a break 🙃

Have a great weekend everyone 🥰

We don't always get to see the impact of the energy we send. But if it reaches one person, softens one hard moment, eases one restless mind — it's enough. It has always been enough.

With 99% of clients that I work with, we will work with rescuing the vulnerable parts and quietening the inner critic.
It can be helpful to give the inner critic a name and tell them that we know they're here to help but that help isn't needed right now. We've got this.

It's interesting how my handwriting changes depending on mood and pen. Does anyone actually have consistency?

This meme made me stop and think.

I moved quite a bit when I was younger.

The first house I remember (although the 3rd I'd lived in from birth) brings happy memories, we lived right near a forest and a river and I just remember lots of children playing out. I learnt to ride a bike there etc.

But I wouldn't buy that house because unfortunately the area became really neglected and to live there now would keep me on my toes, I'm not that child and it isn't that era.

The second house I remember was back where I was born and again, happy memories and I had lots of family there. Again I wouldn't buy that house as I've moved away from the area and family have moved too.

The next house also has happy memories which include swimming and skating and playing out a lot.

Would I buy it? No. Again the memories are captured in time.

We then moved AGAIN and for 90% of the time that we lived in that house, bad things happened.

Trauma, after trauma, after trauma.

The house should have been number 13 but for some reason they left 13 out and numbered it 15.

I was 10 or 11 when we moved there so luckily my formative years were spent in happy places before we moved there, which must have given me a stable grounding for what was to come. Thank goodness!

I wouldn't even visit that town now, let alone buy that house.

I love hearing people telling me about their childhood homes and how their parents are still living there.

I love picturing them visiting and snuggling back into the Mother Ship.

My parents divorced and went their seperate ways and so we didn't have a childhood home to go back to.

It's made me passionate about my daughters always having a home here with us.

There will always be room and if there isn't room, we make room.

So people reading this will have so many takes on it.

People like me? "definitely not"

People who've had a cosy homestead for all the years that they grew up? Perhaps a "yes."

I just know that I adore the home that I'm in. No looking backwards.
