Transcend Trauma

22/11/2025

New blog out now! Our new focuses on the need to talk for good mental health, particularly after loss. We think about grief as a superpower when you allow it space in your life rather than suppressing it.

We think about why it's so important for us all to talk!
I fell down the rabbit hole and listened to a fair amout on the subject thanks to & (Stephen Colbert) - look at that, 3 men opening up on the subject of their pain (not quite the taboo it once was??? Maybe, hopefully eh!)
Why not take a look at transcendtrauma.co.uk

True that ! I don't know about you but my work has kinda taken over my brain recently. This is a timely reminder that life's about living too.

💜 I think I was more adept at getting through things when I was young. Although, was I suppressing - dissociating my emotions?
Maybe it wasn’t safe enough to disclose?
Lots of unanswered questions that will never be answered due to mothers death.
Healing is a lifelong journey. 💜

New out now! Looking at how we cope when life happens!!!
Inspired by our 340mile round trip to Birmingham, only to be stood up by 😥; how we 'made good' on that situation...and how I enough to hike (not literally!) to London 2days later in the that disaster wouldn't strike twice!
(Plot spoiler: I was rewarded for my PERSEVERANCE!!!)

SO much travelling for this week; sadly we did not see him in Birmingham…but I dared to (wow! Did I though!!!) and went ahead and was fab!

It wasn’t the same on my own; but C said it would “make up for the disappointment of Birmingham” if London ROCKED 🤘🤘🤘- and, it really did.

Truth.

Grief has no time frame, so take as long as you need. Sending love to everybody missing somebody right now.

Yeah, so *that* happened…and we are trying our very, very best to SPIN this folks!!! 🤦‍♀️

Aside from the fact that the concert is now being classed as “postponed” (not cancelled)…therefore no refunds 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️…aside from THAT…🤬🤬🤬

Pick ‘n mix was eaten; karaoke to choonz was had; we weren’t the cars involved in the accidents/breakdowns
Dinner wasn’t as planned (too late) - but it was gooood (needed!); we got our steps in walking to the venue (he cancelled an hour before! 🤷‍♀️); the late night Greggs on the walk back to the hotel was the find of the century…and breakfast this morning was nice!

Food has saved the day, 🤣; but so has the star that is Murphy Dog, such a good boy

The time has finally come…we’ve (just about!) survived the longest October on record (am I right?!) 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

…and now it’s Boone time!

in Birmingham tomorrow & then I head to London on Monday too - yeah, we’re fans eh! 🤪

We love a here at and our is set to go; we will play our favourite choonz; 🐕‍🦺Murphy’s case is packed; dinner is booked; we’re ready to welcome Benson to both the North & South; we’re looking forward to breakfast (the best meal of the day!) post-Booning…yes, as you can possibly tell, we have a lot to look forward to this weekend.

That’s exactly what we’ve used to get us through a very testing month and we intend to enjoy every bit (please be kind M5, go on!)

Very happy to say ✔️


Until next week folks…🤗🤗🤗

We took ourselves to be with the yesterday (we do our best thinking there) and diarised our (1st Tuesday of the month) & (last Sunday of the month) for the first half of 2026.

25/10/2025

We here at TT have felt that this October has been particularly long (there’s still another week to go, what the…?!?!🤬)

In this we talk about ‘how’ to hang on in there when you’re having a hard time.

To get us out of the other side of this loooooooong month we have a busy week ahead!!! 🤗🤗🤗 & *drumroll*… !!! 🤸‍♀️🤸‍♀️🤸‍♀️

These are the things that have been getting us through (something to look forward to!)

6 days to go folks,

Helping to create change, because

Here’s to a better and brighter future with the newest medics of tomorrow.
