When I first began working as a Counsellor/ Psychotherapist, I remember being so worried about things that might interrupt my client's sessions. Anything that might distract a client or might make someone feel uncomfortable (including me!).

How things have evolved.... yesterday my tummy was grumbling most of the day, a wasp decided to crawl around on the floor and needed removal (with the help of my lovely client) and I finally have proof of what has been moving around under the floor and coughing up furballs during our sessions!!!

Have you been diagnosed? If so, how did you find it? Helpful? Reassuring? Unhelpful? Interested to know how it feels to put a label on something...

On this International Women’s Day, we honour the strength that comes from compassion, when we give support, we gain connection and growth.

When women lift others, we all rise, give your light, and watch it shine back.
