Episode Title: Exploring Emotions โ€“ The E in PRESSME

In this episode, I consider the emotional part of the PRESSME model. I explore how early experience can shape our emotional responses and why we may often suppress how we really feel.

I share why acknowledging our emotionsโ€”not masking themโ€”is key to self-renewal.

l also talk about small steps you can take, like daily journaling. You matter, and your emotions do too.

Tune in as I guide you through reconnecting with your emotional self and making space for healing.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜˜๐Ÿ˜

Episode Title: Exploring Emotions โ€“ The E in PRESSME

In this episode, I consider the emotional part of the PRESSME model. I explore how my early experiencesโ€”and those of many othersโ€”shape our emotional responses and why we may often suppress how we really feel.

I share why acknowledging our emotionsโ€”not masking themโ€”is key to self-renewal.

lso talk about small steps you can take, like daily journaling. You matter, and your emotions do too. Tune in as I guide you through reconnecting with your emotional self and making space for healing.

The process of ๐—œ๐—ป๐—ผ๐˜€๐—ฐ๐˜‚๐—น๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป is one whereby two trees grow together.

I have often heard over the years in recovery that this can be a brilliant representation of a 'healthy' relationship - one does not outshadow the other, nor does one become stunted.

๐—ง๐—ต๐—ฒ๐˜† ๐—ด๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐˜„ ๐˜๐—ผ๐—ด๐—ฒ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ฟ...in their way, though.

However, when one leans and the other is dertermined on growth, or does not feel inclined to grow emotionally, spiritually or mentally, there is a subtle danger growing apart, of feeling stifled or left behind.

When one stays overly reliant, and the other in consistent fixing, doer mode, imbalance, toxicity and resentment cam silently kill both sides.

If you feel there is an imbalance within your relatuionship and you would like to explore your role within it, feel free to message you when you feel it is right.

Episode Title: Relational Health: Roles & the Relationship with Self

In this third talk on the "R" in PRESSME (Physical, Relational, Emotional, Social, Spiritual, Mental, Environmental), we focus on relationships, especially the one we have with ourselves.

We explore the roles we take on in relationships, how past labels shape our identity, and how self-liking (not just self-love) impacts our choices.

Reflect on the question: how are the roles I play in relationships working out for me?

๐Ÿ’ซIs others' happiness more important than your own?
๐Ÿ’ซAre your needs always bottom of the list?
๐Ÿ’ซStruggle to voice your opinion in case in upsets others?
๐Ÿ’ซDo your needs even exist?

You may have experienced your upbringing as a place to keep quiet, one where others seemed to have alot more going on than you.

Your needs may have been squashed for a long time and therefore it is totally understandable that in the here and now, they are '๐˜ฏ๐˜ฐ๐˜ต ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฌ'...

You KNOW itโ€™s coming.

The pre sunrise rise feelingโ€ฆ..

Itโ€™s going to rise - itโ€™s a dead cert.

It can be really hard to trust our intuition in the same way , when we get those good vibes coming.

Today I choose to trust and allow the good times to roll

But think of a flower - would you tear it apart on sight?

Would you look at it and instantly criticise?

Or appreciate its beauty ?

The good things about it and all that entails....
