Jane is an experienced trauma informed therapist, couples counsellor, clinical supervisor and mental health trainer. Contact Jane today to discuss how she can support you to process trauma and move from survival mode.

We are designed to grow as humans but trauma and distressing events can keep us stuck in survival mode. If you allow it and with the right support, pain can be a valuable teacher and we can grow immensely from adverse experiences. A therapist can support you to opportunities for growth during difficult times. We hurt in relationship, we heal in relationship. Reach out today.

Childhood adaptations. Do you know how you adapted to survive frightening experiences in childhood?
As children we are powerless and vulnerable but we are also hard wired for survival and will do anything to ensure we do. That may mean disconnecting to our own emotions as we have to prioritise a parents or turning our anger on ourselves with self-criticism as it's not safe to be angry at a sibling. We are immensely adaptable as children but as we grow, these adaptations can cause us more harm than good. Are you still neglecting your needs because you had to always take care of your mother's needs? Therapy can support you to make sense of your adaptations and begin to prioritise the relationship with yourself, now you're a powerful, and safe, adult.

Wednesday Wisdom.
We are relational beings, born to be in connection with ourselves and others. Yes, being an adult means the responsibility for our mental health in on us but we can't do it alone. We thrive in connection and wither in isolation. If you're struggling, please reach out. No question, concern or topic is silly. We are all human and we are all struggling with something so reach out today and make the first step to living the best life that works for you.

For the Imposter Syndrome sufferers amongst us! If you have ever asked the question, "should I be here?" or assign your accomplishments up to being a 'fluke' then you may have be experiencing the common affliction of imposter syndrome. Did you know that questioning your abilities is a sign of intelligence not ignorance?
It’s vitally important we question our competence and not go blindly into situations which could put ourselves and others at risk.
The difficulties come with underestimating your competence and holding yourself back from growth, which is only possible from making mistakes and learning what you don’t know.

Imposter Syndrome is a well-known phenomena amongst highly successful people. So technically, if you think you're an imposter, you're actually not! Also, wouldn't you rather be underconfident in your knowledge than be the opposite?
The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias whereby people with low ability, expertise, or experience regarding a certain type of a task or area of knowledge tend to overestimate their ability or knowledge.

Wednesday Wisdom. If you were a plant, what would you look like right now? Are you in full bloom? Are you hiding from the sun and wilting? Are parts of you flourishing but other parts need some attention? What do you need to help you grow and thrive? What changes can you make to reach your fullest blossoming potential?

Do you find yourself saying sorry for every little thing? I'm sorry I spoke, I'm sorry I laughed, I'm sorry I took a breath?! Saying sorry when we don't need to say it reduces the value of our sorry when we do need to say it. It also gives the message that you are somehow to blame for probably everything. Simply switching I'm sorry to Thank you will change the energy you project and the energy you attract.

Wednesday Wisdom. Therapy can help us to identify all parts of us: our disowned parts, our lost parts and the parts we feel are acceptable to others. When we learn to fully love and integrate all of our parts, we become free. Free from other people defining who we are. Free from self-criticism. Free from shame.

Monday Musings. Fun!!! What is your relationship to fun? Did you have fun memories as a child? How did you see your parents/caregivers have fun? Was there an absence of fun in your childhood or in your life now? Recall a fun memory... Who were you with? Where were you? What were you doing? Having fun builds strong connections with others and with yourself. Take this time to explore your relationship with fun either by using these questions as journal prompts or in discussion with a safe and trusted loved one.
