It is such a beautiful moment, when a client is able to breathe, and say to self “it’s over now”. Beautifully walking away from therapy, knowing safety exists.

The UK government is testing the Emergency Alerts system on Sunday 7 September 2025 at 3pm. Compatible mobile phones and tablets will receive an alert, make a loud siren-like sound and vibrate - even if they are set to silent.

The Emergency Alerts system is used to warn if there’s a danger to life nearby, including extreme weather. Regular testing ensures the system is functioning correctly, should it need to be used in a life-threatening emergency.

If you are affected by domestic abuse and have a hidden mobile phone from your abuser, you may not wish the sound of the alert to draw attention to your phone. You can turn off your phone before this time or adjust your phone settings to opt out. Full instructions telling you how to opt out are available at https://www.gov.uk/alerts/opting-out.

If domestic abuse is happening to you, it's important to tell someone and remember you are not alone. COMPASS is the domestic abuse helpline for Essex, and you can call them on 0330 333 7 444 or visit their website.

Who told you that doing nothing is doing nothing
for you.
That being unproductive is unproductive.

We’ve got in the habit of feeling we have to be busy, so used to doing things with visible results,
so used to tracking our steps and logging our activity and ticking things off our to-do list,
that we’ve forgotten the importance of rest.

Doing nothing and being unproductive is actually doing something productive.
It’s helping you recharge.
Pause.
Recoup.

Resting by reading, having a bath or sitting in the garden with a cuppa are not a waste of time.
Time spent rested is not time wasted.

We are not machines.
We are not robots.
We are not here to constantly work.

We are human beings.
At times we just need to be.

This is a great quote from to start off your thoughts, if you were raised in a family where no one apologised. How do you feel, what do you think, what was it like for you? Did you grow up behaving the same as the writer, do you repeat this behaviour, do you now move away from others that ‘store’ emotions and seem to blow up at inappropriate moments or something else….
