Therapy Issues with Dan Entwisle #1

Facing abandonment issues can be tough, but taking steps to work through them is crucial. Here are some strategies that might help:

Acknowledge Your Feelings: Recognise and accept your abandonment issues. Understand that these feelings are valid and may stem from past experiences. Acknowledging your emotions is the first step towards addressing them.

Identify the Source: Reflect on your past to pinpoint events contributing to your abandonment issues. Understanding the root causes provides clarity and perspective on your emotions.

Self-Compassion and Self-Care: Develop a self-care routine focusing on physical, emotional, and mental well-being. Engage in activities bringing joy, relaxation, and a sense of well-being. Practice self-compassion on your healing journey.

Challenge Negative Thoughts: Abandonment issues can lead to negative thoughts about relationships. Identify and challenge these patterns by questioning their validity, replacing them with balanced thoughts.

Build a Support Network: Surround yourself with supportive individuals. Share feelings with trusted friends or family for understanding and empathy. Healthy relationships can counteract feelings of abandonment.

Work on Self-Esteem: Combat low self-esteem by engaging in activities that boost self-worth. Pursue hobbies, set achievable goals, and seek personal growth opportunities. Celebrate accomplishments and recognise strengths.

Practice Boundary-Setting: Establish healthy boundaries for more secure relationships. Clearly communicate needs and expectations, and be assertive in protecting emotional well-being.

Process Past Traumas: If past traumas contribute to abandonment issues, consider therapy modalities like CBT.

Give Yourself Time: Healing takes time and patience. Be gentle with yourself, understanding that progress may come in waves and setbacks are a normal part of the healing process.

Remember, dealing with abandonment issues is a personal journey, and the strategies that work best for you may vary. Professional guidance can provide tools and support. 💙

I thought it was about time I got this page up and running again. So, here are the latest revews of the therapy you can expect from Tyemouth Counselling.

"Dan is an amazing therapist that makes me feel heard and supported. After just one session I felt really relieved and certain that I was matched with the right person. I would recommend him to everyone."
"
One of the most important things about seeing a Therapist is their ability to make you feel at ease and gain your sense of trust. Dan certainly did that, we connected immediately and it's made our sessions far more open (and effective) as it has allowed me to open up about some very heavy (and traumatic) topics. It's still a work in progress but progress has very much been made and I already feel myself in a better mental (and happier) state."

"Dan was attentive when listening to my issue and took the time to ask questions which helped me come to a challenging decision. Thank you."

"Dan supported me to understand my negative thinking and challenged me to review my circumstances more in line with my reality. He listened and offered good examples to relate too."
