Ok so I realise this is an abstract question to ask, but hear me out… 🤔

Habits are things we repeat often enough that they become unconscious parts of our routine and lives. They are extremely important to us.
So let’s look at some of the signs of complex trauma through this lens…
Are you in the habit of inviting abusive people into your life or entering into unhealthy relationships?
Are you in the habit of self deprecation?
Are you in the habit of underselling yourself?
Are you in the habit of putting everyone else’s needs in front of your own?

Most of us don’t even understand when or how these habits even formed, but once we can view them like a habit and begin to understand when and why they began, we can start to break the cycle! Therapy can help you with this ♥️

My office door is closed for the next few days whilst I take a festive break, but this does not mean that you have to suffer alone 💔.
For many, Christmas is a happy jolly time spent surrounded by family and loved ones, but for some their reality is much different. Remember the greatest gift you can give this Christmas is kindness 🥰 especially to those less fortunate than yourself.
Swipe through and find lots of useful contacts where you will find kind, listening ears and some professional help that you can still access ♥️

‘Tis the season to be jolly’ 🎄 …. Or is it?…

This time of year is full of added pressure to be joyful and sociable and to be having lots of fun. But the reality is that there are lots of reasons why thats not the case for many of us.

Perhaps it’s financial struggles?
Or there’s a difficult anniversary at this time of year?
Maybe whilst everyone else is celebrating with their closest family members, you are missing the ones who have passed on.
And then there’s the would be mum’s and dad’s with fertility problems who are desperate for children of their own to celebrate Christmas with.
Or the parents who have to grieve each Christmas spent without their son who daughter who is no longer with them.

To all those who aren’t feeling joyful, and are just about holding themselves together- I see you, and I hope you can be gentle with yourself.

Of course it’s ok to be happy and festive, but it’s also ok to feel sad and unhappy. There’s room for both ♥️

In toxic relationships it’s easy to believe that your current state of mind is who you are.

If you’re dealing with toxicity, abuse, continuous stress, breeches of trust and dishonesty etc then it is natural for you to feel tightly wound and on edge.
Your partner might label you “uptight” or “controlling”, when in reality, you could be a very laid back person outside of that toxic relationship!

This is why it is so important to know yourself! Learn to be mindful of how much time you are spending reacting or behaving differently than you usually would around your partner. This can be a good indicator that something may not be right with your relationship!

This applies with all relationships too - not just romantic ones.

“I really needed my mum to show up for me, I was having a really hard time growing up, but she had her own childhood trauma she was still dealing with so she couldn’t. I know she did her best though and I was ok”

This is a made up quote but I can’t tell you how often I hear some version of this.

If this sounds like something you’d say, then I think it’s wonderful that you can offer such understanding and grace for the person who wasn’t able to meet your needs. Those reasons might be totally true, but so is the fact that you really needed them and you were hurt when your needs were not met. That part of your story is just as important and deserves to be heard ♥️

Are you somebody with a hyper drive and motivation to move forwards?
Always looking for the next thing to do and never leaving yourself a gap in your timetable to just be?
Do you find yourself on the edge of burn out almost constantly from being so busy trying to make other people’s lives better?
Are you career focused and find yourself answering emails late into the night unable to take your eye off the ball or switch off?

If any of these sound like you, you might like to use that drive, discipline or motivation differently.
Imagine a world where you turn that discipline inward and gave YOURSELF that much attention, focus, determination, love etc… ♥️

I think it’s fair to say that at some point in all of our lives, we all either come across or get to know somebody like this.
Knowing when to step away can be very difficult, especially when the person who is committed to misunderstanding you is a parent, caregiver or even somebody you have come to love… ♥️

Something to be aware of ♥️
Ask yourself what moves you to make effort where it is not reciprocated? 💔
And also, what holds you back from reciprocating when others make effort with you? 🤔

Healing is not linear, and the goal is NOT to become emotionless.
To be unaffected is to be inhuman!

Therapy can support you:
• To be able to feel fearlessly, unapologetically, and authentically.
• To stay away from suppressing and masking your emotions and experience.
• To allow yourself freedom of expression, whether it’s over something new or something you’ve already been sad about a million times before.
• To feel seen, heard and supported no matter what you are feeling.
• To learn to be patient with your human condition.
We are human after all, we are supposed to feel all the feels - It’s culture and society that have made it difficult to do that 💔.

So remember - Healing is not linear, and the goal is not to become emotionless! ♥️
