Unwanted Thoughts:

Considering those unwelcome ‘worst-case scenario’ thoughts that so often visit our heads.

Firstly, a gentle but vital reminder that thoughts are not always FACTS.

Secondly, isn’t it fair to also give airtime to those thoughts that could also be the ‘best-case scenario’, as well as the ‘most likely-case scenario’?

Go gently, Tamsin

LOVE, LOSS AND GRIEF

Similarly to the love you feel, following a loss, your grief is uniquely yours and it may always be with you.

Understanding your grief and learning how to live with your grief means it may start to feel just a little easier within you.

As you adapt to your grief and find a sense of peace, your life continues with your love, loss and grief an evolving part of it.

Go gently with yourself

Emotional validation between partners is vital for a strong relationship.

It involves expressing recognition, understanding and acceptance of the other person’s emotional experience even if you feel differently.

Providing validation of your partner's feelings creates a safe space for them to express themselves without fear of rejection or judgment.

With acceptance and care Tamsin

Feelings and emotions are not something to be avoided or suppressed, even though we may have learnt this growing up.

Imagine not having to avoid or suppress uncomfortable feelings because you're no longer afraid to feel them.

Being emotional is not the same as being fragile. Expressing ourselves authentically and how we feel is healing in itself.

What has happened to us?

As your certified integrative relational therapist, I welcome this question from couples. Offering a space to either find the loving and fulfilling relationship you may both desire or to navigate together towards a guilt-free and gentle ending.

I will provide you and your partner with a calm, non-judgmental and fair space to facilitate open communication and work through issues that may have arisen within the relationship.

I aim for you both to understand yourselves better and how you impact each other, so that, ultimately, you can better understand the relationship you want and what it takes to get there.

Regardless of the relational outcome, I will support you both in therapy with an emphasis on emotional integrity and healthy communication.

Free yourself from the suffering of thinking and believing that "something is wrong with me." What you are feeling and struggling with is valid and can be painful.

Instead, let's find a compassionate understanding of our truth and move forth with care and consideration for ourselves.

Go gently with yourself.

Today is International Women's Day.
So this is for all you amazing women out there.
To every one of you who shape our lives and inspire us - thank you.
To those struggling - may this bring you the strength you need.
Strength comes in all forms, but so often, it's those quiet acts of love, care, kindness, and resilience that really matter the most.
Thinking of you all, your friends, your loved ones who are here and who have passed on this special day.
With love Tamsin

Finding self-compassion can help us build the foundation for the kindness we wish to show the world. s. In fact, they're deeply connected. Self-compassion is the required resource to care for others without becoming depleted or drained.
Finding self-compassion can help us build the foundation for the kindness we wish to give and show the world.
Therapy can be a valuable way of finding self-compassion. 💚

SELF-WORTH refers to our sense of self and our belief that we are worthy of care, support and compassion.

It can often be something that many people struggle with.

As our sense of self-worth grows we flourish in all aspects of our life.

Sometimes to find our own self-worth we need support to develop our self-love and self-compassion.

Whether in our relationship with ourselves or with others, curiosity allows us to move from reactive patterns of response to deeper understanding and connection.
Esther Perel reminds us that when we are hurting, we feel the need to protect ourselves; therefore, it takes courage to invite curiosity, yet doing so can be transformative for us and our relationships.
Let's invite curiosity - ask 'what else could be true', expand our perspectives, and feel the shift from conflict to connection.

Taking time for yourself is always important.
Christmas time can be a particularly hard time of year. Especially those who may be grieving or have hit hard times. For some people, it can feel isolating and depressing.
If this is you, please know you are not alone. Reach out and say the words "I need help".
Go well and with caring wishes Tamsin

Our past can sometimes weigh us down with feelings of unworthiness and shame.

Healing from our past through self-compassion and self-acceptance can transform our sense of self; allowing us to move through life with authenticity and wholeness.

Therapy offers new understanding and perspectives; replacing critique and rejection with compassion, empathy and wholeness.
