January can make young people feel they should emerge instantly transformed. New habits, new discipline, new certainty about the future. That pressure rarely helps. It more often leads to comparison, self-criticism, and the sense of already being behind.

The Navigate Collective is a fortnightly online group for 15–23-year-olds who want a steadier space to reflect, understand what is happening beneath the pressure, and feel less alone in it. It is not about fixing yourself. It is about building awareness, safety, and self-trust so change becomes more sustainable over time.

Many people spend their energy managing other people’s emotions and forgetting their own needs. You adjust, accommodate, over-explain. It feels like care, but it often costs you your own nervous system regulation.

Codependency isn’t about loving someone too much. It’s about losing yourself in the process of trying to keep them okay.

If you recognise yourself here; if you’ve spent years reading the room instead of reading yourself, 1:1 therapy can help you separate your needs from someone else’s. You can learn to be close without disappearing.

🩵 Book a discovery call (link in bio) or email support@jkassociatestherapy.com to explore whether working together is a good fit. 1:1 sessions available or book for a 6-week package.

There is a particular kind of pressure that shows up at this time of year. Personal statements, Oxbridge interviews, deadlines, comparison. So many young people tell me they feel as if their entire future rests on one conversation, one essay, one morning when they need to be at their absolute best. What gets missed is that these moments do not measure worth, intelligence, or future potential. They measure how your nervous system responds under scrutiny, which is something most young people were never taught to understand, let alone regulate.

The Navigate Collective was created to give young people a space to breathe inside that pressure. A place to explore identity beyond achievement, to name the fears that sit underneath the expectations, and to feel less alone in the process. If you or someone you know is in the middle of interviews or university applications, this group might be a grounding place to land each week.

Navigate Collective next starts in January and runs fortnightly for young people managing academic pressure, identity questions, and the anxiety around ‘getting it right’. First month free if you book this week.

Doubt is not always loud. Sometimes it starts in the body long before your thoughts catch up. A held breath, a tightening in your stomach, or a need to explain yourself again and again are often signals from a part that fears judgement or misunderstanding. When we recognise these sensations for what they are, the blame softens and understanding grows.

For many of us we can explore that through therapy, and with our Black Friday Weekend reduction, I hope to make it a little more accessible.

My blog on “What Does Doubt Feel Like in the Body” is out today and explores how doubt takes shape in the body.

Self-sabotage rarely arrives as something dramatic. It usually shows up in quieter ways: delaying the thing you care about, stepping back when things become hopeful, or convincing yourself that you should not try.

None of this means you are weak. It often means a protective part is trying to spare you from hurt it has already lived through. This week’s blog explores why these patterns appear just as life starts moving forward again, and how understanding the part behind them can shift the whole story.

Receiving is a skill. It’s something we relearn when we decide we’re worthy of support.

For many people, receiving isn’t easy. Whether it’s love, praise, support, or even rest, something inside pulls away, as if letting it in would be dangerous.

Often, this isn’t about pride or stubbornness; it’s about protection. Parts shaped by past overwhelm might associate receiving with strings attached, disappointment, or loss of control.

Healing begins when we stop judging ourselves for that resistance and start understanding it. Safety is built slowly, through small experiences of being met, supported, and held.

What’s the hardest thing for you to receive and why?

📖 Take a look at my blog post that explores this deeper at the link in bio.

After our two minute silence just now, we think of how Remembrance invites us to pause with what is carried: grief, pride, and pain. For some it is a day of honour, and for others it a reminder of deep loss. For many, it is both.

Memories are rarely simple; they arrive in layers, where sorrow and strength, and longing and gratitude often sit side by side. My own grandfather served in India during WW2, and his story reminds me that remembrance lives on not only in history, but in families and the quiet legacies we carry.

🕊️ May remembrance be not just an act of looking back, but of being present with what lives on inside us.

Shame has a clever way of disguising itself as humility. It convinces us that dreaming bigger is dangerous, selfish, or destined to end in failure.

But often, that shame is just an old protector trying to keep us from getting hurt again. When we approach it with curiosity rather than judgement, we create space for our desires to be seen and valued.

📚This weeks blog explores this in more depth, and why “wanting too much” might actually be a sign you’re ready for change. Explore the full piece on my website!

Reflect: What dream have you minimised because of shame?

It’s not always fear of failure that makes us self-sabotage. Sometimes, it’s fear of peace.

Parts that have lived through chaos don’t always know what to do with calm. They’re not trying to ruin things as much as they’re trying to protect you.

Wanting more from life does not mean you’re ungrateful for what you have. Yet so many people carry a shame about ambition, believing that desire is selfish or that they should be satisfied with “enough.”

Often, the shame is inherited. It might come from family messages about humility, cultural expectations around staying small, or experiences where expressing desire led to disappointment.

In therapy, we explore the difference between wanting and entitlement. Most of the time, that deep pull towards “more” is simply a sign of life longing for expression.

🔆 If this resonates, you might enjoy this week’s blog: “The Shame Spiral of Wanting Too Much.” Read it at the link in bio and ask yourself: Where do you notice shame creeping in when you dream bigger?

Confidence isn’t something you build, it’s something that naturally emerges when your protective parts trust you.
