“HOW ARE YOU?”

“Fine!” 🙂 You say, without thinking. On auto-pilot. Polite. Simple. Unproblematic.

Maybe you ARE fine 👌👌👌

And sure… most people who ask “how are you?” are probably not expecting the full unfettered version…

But YOU are not MOST PEOPLE.

You are YOU; the person who takes care of you; hears your every thought; feels your every emotion.

So if you do one kind thing for yourself today, ask yourself this
“How do I really feel? What do I need?”

SOMETIMES, taking care of yourself looks like NOT writing a blog, and taking the only lunch break you’ll get this week instead…..
AKA - practicing what I preach to clients!

So here’s a picture of some animals sticking their tongues out instead.

You’re welcome 😬😛

Normal service will be resumed next week (probably!)

Now repeat after me… No, I’m NOT fine actually.

I mean, if you are, then, great!

But for most of us, at dfferent times, and to varying degrees, we are most definitely NOT fine.

If that’s you right now
- be gentle with yourself
- tell someone you’re not ok
- seek help and support
- recognise you’re probably doing your best

It’s ok.
It’s going to change.
But for now, perhaps, take extra care of yourself.

Let’s talk about the C Word….. Control!

It’s a funny thing, but often when we worry, we tend to be focused on things that are outside of our control. Such as…

👉How other people are thinking or feeling

👉The decisions people are making or the way they’re behaving

👉Their possible opinion or judgements of us

👉The predicted impact of other people’s possible choices

👉How people might respond to our actions and decisions

So much worry…. Over so many things we cannot control.

I call this “outsourcing”; outsourcing our peace of mind to others; giving others the control over how we feel, based on THEIR possible thoughts, reactions and behaviours.

Such a lot of power to give away.

If you recognise you have a tendency to be overly focused on others thoughts and feelings above your own, you might find a little bit of reframing helpful when you next catch yourself “outsourcing”.

Firstly, recognise you are only truly in control of 3 things

1) how you think about anything
2) what action you take (or don’t)
3) how you respond to your emotions

Secondly, ask yourself “what can I control about this situation/worry”

Thirdly, take YOUR preferred action, or CHOOSE to let it go.

When we consistently challenge our urge to worry about things outside of our control, we are retraining our brain not to keep sending the same old messages.

Take back your mental peace and power.
Focus on the 3 things within you control.
It’s an inside job!

September - Natures lesson in letting go PART 2

You were so receptive to PART 1, that I created PART 2 (you’re welcome 😉)

I think I know why it resonated; Because most of us recognise that we can sometimes hold onto negative thoughts, difficult emotions, problematic relationships and tired old, out dated Limiting Beliefs - and we also know it’s soooo unhelpful.

Taking up our energy, consuming our time, interfering with our peace of mind…

Not Nature though. She lets go with ease.

Here’s a few more lessons from her, as we head into Autumn.

Everything Has a Season 🍁

Nature reminds us that everything has its time. Just as trees don’t hold their leaves year-round, we are not meant to hold onto every experience, identity, or chapter of life forever. Trusting in the cyclical nature of life helps ease the fear of letting go.

Emotional Decluttering 🧹

Just as we might clear out gardens or wardrobes in autumn, we can clear out emotional space too. Want to try? Ask yourself “What stories, grudges, fears, or judgments are no longer serving me?” to help create a clearer mental landscape.

The Fire of Transformation 🔥

The reds, oranges, and golds of autumn resemble flames— what a great symbol of transformation. Letting go isn’t passive; it’s an active, often courageous decision to burn away what no longer aligns to our values and life choices.

Surrender Brings Peace 🏳️

Nature doesn’t try to hold on—it surrenders to the season. When we let go of control or expectations, we often find more inner peace. Autumn reminds us that surrender is not weakness; it’s wisdom.

I hope this adds extra meaning to how you might consider letting go over the coming days or weeks. If you have any thoughts or questions, drop them below or feel free to DM me.

September - Natures lesson in letting go

Ever held on to negative thoughts for far longer than you’d like to admit?

What about grudges or resentments?

And how about unwanted, difficult feelings about you, or someone else?

Perhaps you’ve clung to old limiting beliefs about your value or capability?

I tell you who doesn’t hold on
Nature 🍂

She’s the Queen of letting go, and right now we’re being offered a ringside seat….So, pull up a chair, focus your attention on her, and be prepared for a powerful lesson or 2 from nature.

🍄 Nature Doesn’t Resist Change -
Autumn teaches us that change is natural and necessary. Trees don’t cling to their leaves; they let them go gracefully. Resisting change often causes more stress than accepting it. Letting go is part of the cycle of growth.

🌦️ Shedding Isn’t Losing, It’s Preparing -
When trees shed their leaves, it’s not about loss, but preparation for renewal. Similarly, letting go in our own lives—of relationships, habits, thoughts, or expectations—makes space for something new to grow. It’s a new beginning.

🦔 Slowing Down is Part of the Process -
Nature slows down in autumn. Animals and plants conserve energy. It’s a cue for us to turn inward, rest more, and reflect. Maybe it’s a reminder to let go of the pressure to always be busy or productive.

🌈 There is Beauty in Release -
Autumn is arguably the most beautiful season—ironically, because of what is falling away. Letting go doesn’t have to be painful; it can be beautiful and liberating.

If any of this resonates with you, let me know.

It’s good to cry…

There’s a lot of mixed psychological theory and “evidence” on the subject, but I know one thing for sure…. Holding in tears does NOT feel good.

I fully experienced an array of sad, devastating and aching emotions as we toured Auschwitz-Birkenau at the weekend.

From the very first of the many names of the fallen that were called, through to the quiet and hollow “barracks”, I cried.

From the overwhelming volume of personal historic items, to the heart wrenching pictures and and remnants of the murdered, I cried.

From the sheer scale of the place to the depths of the horrors narrated, I cried.

From the initial glance of the gates and train track, to the privilege of walking out, I cried.

Sometimes silent sobs

Sometimes a hefty weight on my chest

Sometimes fierce, hot, angry, tears

Sometimes pain from the lump in my throat

I felt it all, and understandably so. Many people carried a lost look of bewilderment, outrage or pain as they quietly toured the 2 sites.

I’m not someone who can easily hide their emotions (whatever they may be!), and when it comes to tears, I think that’s better for me, personally. Even if it’s at the expense of another persons comfort. Which it was on this occasion, as it turns out.

“You really pulled me down with you” mocked the lady sitting in front of me on the coach afterwards…. “I could see you were sobbing and it made me feel sad too”.

WHAT??? I thought, loudly.
“Oh well” I said calmly.

Emotion-shaming at Auschwitz-Birkenau….
Whatever next?
What was she expecting I wondered?

Our emotions come up instinctively. Our response to those emotions IS somewhat within our control. I chose to let mine flow this time.

Whilst we often and understandably, concern ourselves with the feelings of those around us, let’s be careful not to sacrifice our own feelings in the name of empathy or even people-pleasing.

Or to put it bluntly…. If you see me crying…
mind your business!! 😬

Therapy is funny…

Not always, obviously… far from it in fact.

But sometimes, it’s proper funny.

Just like life itself, therapy can hold many different emotions and experiences at different times.

AND THAT’S OK!!!

If you’re wondering about trying therapy, I can tell you what it ISN’T…

It isn’t a place
❌ to be told how to feel
❌ to have to concern yourself with someone’s response
❌ to mask emotions for another persons comfort
❌ to say popular/ smart/ acceptable things that make you sound good
❌ to be rushed to solutions or answers
❌ to feel criticised or judged
❌ to exclude any part of you that shows up

It’s a place for
✅ gentle exploration and encouragement
✅ one more question, and holding the moment
✅ emotional freedom
✅ identifying change, goals, needs
✅ new perspectives, tools and strategies
✅ satisfying shifts in thoughts, actions, responses
✅ gently letting go

And it’s definitely a place for snotty tears, resistance, emotional release, epiphanies, quiet reflections and even telling jokes and laughter….
Yes, laughter.
Sometimes.

Because therapy, just like life, can be funny at the most unexpected moments.

Like when 2 large pigeons chose to mate, loudly, right outside my office window, just as a client started bravely and slightly awkwardly discussing issues within his own s*x life.

He briefly looked horrified, then burst out laughing… I followed his lead…
“See,” I said, “I told you therapy’s funny sometimes”.
And it is.

If you’re considering therapy, find a place where you feel really comfortable and safe to do the best work. You deserve that. You really do.
