I notice that every year around September I want to introduce myself to new followers, and say hi again to existing ones.

Here are some interesting things about me, how I work, and some ideas I have about therapy. I’ve always advocated for self disclosure in my therapy work, some of these things are more personal, and some are more life experiences. In my efforts to show up on this side of the internet, here are some of those things that came to mind.

Welcome to Whole Self Therapy, where reconnection and authenticity is the goal.

Finding yourself googling ‘therapists near me?’ You may find a whole cave of wonders you didn’t even want to know about.

Finding therapeutic support can be overwhelming and really confusing. Every therapists seems to have the same bio and writes things that sounds full of psychobabble that you don’t really know what is being communicated.

Have a read at this article in the bio for some potential tools that might support you on your journey to finding the therapist for you.

Have you ever considered if Self-Care is a western idea that promotes the egos of us and others? Or perhaps how self care at times (on social media) seems to be a stereotypical female activity?

Self care is for everyone-regardless of gender, age and background.

Have you read this week’s musings? Consider if there is a way to look at self-care that values the whole person and some ways to identify what you might need for today to become the most authentic and whole you.

📢This week I share about why I advocate for therapists to show up as themselves and why I support the use of Therapist Self Disclosure.
It is a topic that many therapists have thought about and something I didn’t realise brought out so many different responses. 🤓

⛄️ ❄️ ELSA FROM FROZEN got it wrong… conceal don’t feel never really works.
😡😳☹️😢☺️😍🥹😅
Emotions… we all have them. They are part of the human experience and part of what allows us to connect to ourselves and others.

The thing with emotions is that society, cultures and sometimes families have socialised different people groups out of understanding their emotions and being able to recognise when they are experiencing an emotional response.

In supporting someone to become more emotionally aware and literate takes time.
1️⃣ We try and build emotional language through using emotions/feelings wheels to identify the internal experience.
2️⃣ We consider how the physical body is responding to the environment… ‘When you notice your face begin to feel warm what might be happening in the moment emotionally?’
3️⃣ We approach all emotions with compassion and curiosity… they are coming up for a reason, let’s get curious…
4️⃣ We sit with them and feel them.
5️⃣ We consider what you could do with the emotion.
6️⃣ You discover how you can still feel the emotion and step into action. E.g. You feel dissapointed and frustrated, you acknowledge this and you communicate what expectations were let down and how you’d like to move forward.
7️⃣ You learn how to recognise, feel and deal with the emotion in a way that is aligned with who you are and who you want to be.

As adults, old childhood wounds can get stepped on or touched. When this happens a useful process may be to :
•🤔Get Curious about the internal experience -what is happening within you?
•🧘🏾‍♂️Ground yourself through deep belly breathing, focusing on your external environment, noticing small details means you have to be present such as the smells in the air or the sounds you hear.
• 🧎🏼Approach the discomfort when you are in a space that is safe and comfortable to really explore what was coming up for you.
• 💆🏽‍♀️Remind yourself that you are an adult who is learning the skills to continue to take care of yourself.
• 📞Reach out for connection if you need it. Debriefing with a trusted friend or professional listener can provide you space to share and process your experiences and may offer clarity for you.
