Susan Vieira Therapy

The therapy room is your space to be honest, about your issues, difficulties, feelings about others and yourself.

However for a person to be truly honest they need to know there is no threat to self, no fear of judgement, retaliation, conflict or discomfort. (Often a rare thing with honesty!)

That is what I offer, a place where you can explore, reflect on and release the thoughts and feelings that have been weighing you down. Safely.

Get in touch if this is what you need:

Carl Rogers wisdom 🌅

People are just as wonderful as sunsets if I can let them be.

When I look at a sunset, I don’t find myself saying, “Soften the orange a little on the right hand corner, and put a bit more purple along the base, and use a little more pink in the cloud color.”

I don’t do that. I don’t try to control a sunset. I watch it with awe as it unfolds.

A lovely, simple and effective practice

Anxiety loves to bring company; doubt, shame, self criticism etc. We spiral. We judge. We think something must be wrong with us. But what if, just for today, you offered yourself the kindness you'd give a friend?

This week’s meditation is a self-compassion practice.

Finding a comfortable position, closing the eyes or softening the gaze. 

Start by settling into the breath, finding a peaceful rhythm. Feel the body resting, the ground beneath you.

Then, place a hand on the heart or a comforting spot and quietly say one or all of the following:

“This is hard.”
“I’m doing just fine.”
“I am not alone.”

“This too shall pass.”

Repeat slowly. Letting the words sink in.

You may feel resistance or uncomfortable. That’s okay, you can change the words to suit. Compassion takes practice. Yet in time, the nervous system begins to soften and things begin to ease…

If you could speak to yourself with kindness today, what would you most need to say?
