Speak to Sherrie

Speak to Sherrie Sherrie is an experienced, down-to-earth, person-centred counsellor who specialises in Adolescent, Spectrum, trauma, and su***de prevention. Hello, I’m Sherrie!

Relationships, abuse to name just a few. I am a professional registered counsellor in the Lincoln area. Let me introduce myself: - I’m 51 years old and a survivor of abuse. It's a Tuesday night and I’m on the sofa in my PJ’s with my dogs watching TV. My life couldn’t be more chilled right now! But it hasn’t always been like this. After experiencing trauma as a child, everyday life seemed a struggle to me. I did my best to ignore the pain but it didn’t go away. So, after years of repeating the same mistakes, I chose to “feel the fear but do it anyway” and got help with my emotional health and wellbeing and learnt that counselling isn’t just sitting and talking about your feelings, it’s entering a journey of self-discovery to find the tools within yourself to save your own life. After overcoming my trauma, I knew I had to help others so I trained for 6 years at Ridgeway College with Professor Graham Cocking, to qualify as a counsellor. Talking therapies allow you to explore new coping strategies to make the positive changes that are needed. Counselling is not an advice service; it’s a self-rescue one. No one is perfect, I’m only human just like you! I know that s**t happens and we all deal with s**t differently - I’m not here to judge; just to listen, empower, and support. You have all the power within your own mind to move forward, I can just help clear the fog so that you can use them. Hope to speak to you soon, I don’t bite, honest! X

Take what you need…..

Thank you to those of you who have asked me how I stay humble. I genuinely believe in the importance of staying grounded and treating others with respect, regardless of titles or status. I choose humility because I recognise that everyone has a unique journey, and each person's contributions are valuable. This awareness keeps me humble and reminds me that growth is a continuous process. It involves active listening, learning from mistakes, and fostering gratitude. By valuing others and being mindful of our limitations, we build stronger connections rooted in genuine understanding and compassion. I truly believe that humility allows us to grow together and develop meaningful relationships.

The Ego

The ego is simply a way for us to understand and attend to ourselves, as we understand and attend to the world around us.

In most spiritual circles, the ego gets a pretty bad rap. The reason for this is that the ego, to some extent, is the principle in our psyches that separates us from one another, while spirit is the principle that shows us that no such separation exists. Sometimes the ego is depicted as an almost demonic figure that keeps us from realising our true nature. But at its most basic, the ego is simply a tool that helps us organise the various aspects of our personality so that we can function in the world. In this sense, the ego is simply a way for us to understand and attend to ourselves — at the same time as we understand and attend to the world around us. The ego is a tool that we use to navigate the world.

Perhaps, the problem is that the ego sometimes gets out of control. This happens when the higher self loses control of the psyche. The psyche then falls under the leadership of the ego, an entity that was never meant to lead. The ego is meant to serve the higher self. When this relationship is functioning, the ego is a useful intermediary, representing the whole self without thinking it is the whole self. Then, it is almost as if the ego is the self playfully pretending to be the separate entity called “I.” Like an actor, the ego plays the roles that the world asks us to play in order to be part of the program. In this way, the ego can be a tool enabling us to be in the world but not of it.

As long as we are in touch with our higher self, our ego is not a threat. They are useful tools in the service of the spirit. We keep our egos in check when we continually nurture our awareness of who we really are. Then our egos are free to serve without trying ineffectually to rule. It is healthy to have an ego, but like all things in life, ego functions best when it is in balance and harmony with your whole self.

When individuals are unable to regulate their own emotions, they often try to influence others' behaviour. When such influence is successfully exerted, it confers a significant advantage upon those who are most sensitive and prone to being distressed. In essence, this tends to favour individuals with less emotional maturity.
