Therapy with Mike

13/01/2026

We all read things differently and have different perspectives that are based on our experiences, our beliefs and that’s ok.

For me, I read this as not being said by someone that genuinely felt unappreciated, but from someone throwing anything they have done in your face in an effort to make you feel guilty for not doing something for them.

Why?

Because I’ve heard those words and they were said in that context.

I had always done everything I could for the person who spoke them and these words were spoken to me if if I ever tried to say no.

I know it can and will it be read in different ways (aka I have posted it before and 🤯) and that’s ok.

Your reaction to it is though is always worth a ponder especially if it’s one of anger.

If you do find yourself angry it is a good place to ponder and give yourself a little extra love.

Your environment matters more than we realize.
The conversations you’re in.
The spaces you spend time in.
The energy you’re surrounded by.

If everything around you feels chaotic, critical, or draining…
of course you feel tired, reactive, and overwhelmed.

This isn’t a personal flaw.
It’s your nervous system responding to what it’s been living in.

Today, ask yourself:
✨ What can I soften?
✨ What can I step back from?
✨ What can I protect?

Peace begins when you change what you allow around you. 💛

A new piece of feedback from a short term piece of work.

The client hit the ground running and engaged fully from that moment.

Q1: What, if anything, have you gained/learned over the duration of our work together. And were there any key/standout moments?

A1: I’ve gained a deeper understanding of myself, my emotions and reactions. I’ve also learned to understand others much better and to interpret other people’s emotions.

It starts with ‘I’, not ‘you’.

Q2: Was there anything you would have liked more or less of over the duration of our work?

A2 : I found the session duration, 50min, to be about right, but at other times I could have chatted all day. I wouldn’t change anything.

Q3: Would you recommend therapy with me, and if so, why?

A3 : I didn’t really know what to expect on day one. Mike is very personable, understanding and likeable, but he’s not there to be your friend, or to take sides. Get ready for some hard truths. His explanations and real life experiences shone through and resonated with me. I’d spend days thinking and learning from our sessions.

I would not hesitate to recommend Mike, he has helped me endlessly and I’m deeply grateful.

Starting over isn’t easy.
Choosing yourself isn’t easy.
Healing isn’t easy.
But your joy? Your peace? Your new life?
Absolutely. Worth. It. 🌙✨
