🌬️✨ Breathe in, breathe out.
Did you know that your breath holds the key to calming your nervous system?
When we experience stress or trauma, our bodies can fall into dysregulation, making it hard to find ease. By focusing on our breath and tuning into our body, we can restore balance and promote healing.

Take a deep breath and allow yourself to feel the difference. 🌿💆‍♀️

A gentle start-of-the-week reminder for all my friends here.

Therapists talk about history, make connections, and track shifts in behaviour and feelings. But in all of this, it is for the therapist to be carefull about not being a therapist who knows, who see’s what’s really going on. Instead, understand and acknowledge that the two of you are figuring things out as you go along.

Your not-knowing stance may feel strange to the patient at first as they come in seeking an authority figure to guide them. As the therapist continues doing less and inviting the patient for collaboration - it creates a different self with other experience for the patient and that’s what matters the most.

We believe in fairy tales and Cinderella stories, stories where, through effort and perseverance, things always workout. We rise to meet the adversity head-on. We don’t let our troubles get us down, or at least, we don’t let them keep us there. Our heroes- whether real or fictional- are models of bravery and courage in the face of pain. The villain, the disappointing characters, are the ones too stubborn to turn their pain around.

We are an overcoming culture. We have got a culture that says bad things happen in order to help you grow, and no matter how bleak it seems, the end result is always worth the struggle. Grieving people are met with impatience precisely because they are failing the cultural storyline of overcoming adversity. If you don’t transform, you have failed.

As a culture, we don’t want to hear that there are things that can’t be fixed. As a culture, we don’t want to hear that there is some pain that never gets redeemed. Some things we learn to live with, and that’s not the same as everything working out in the end. No matter how many rainbows and butterflies you stick into the narrative, some stories just don’t work out. Loss, pain and grief exist in this world, and they are never redeemed. They are carried.

The world prioritizes independence over mutual care, and requires us to work long hours. This results into a “care deficit (Hochschild, "the culture of politics") where there are only few intuitions that anchor us, nourish us or give us meaning. For psychotherapists, it is easy to fall into this void.
Because if not us, then who? Increasingly it is women — as daughters, sisters, wives, mothers, caretakers, teachers, medical professionals, child care workers and psychotherapists —who shoulder the care deficit which is always on the rise. Especially, during crisis like, the pandemic.
There are very few male psychotherapists, as is a trend when it comes to caretaking industries, female psychotherapists suffer with the responsibility of shouldering the deficit alone, and being ‘motherly.’

This group will make way for us to have an open, exploratory discussion about how internalised patriarchy is now affecting how we, woman psychotherapists, work as mental health professionals.

Is this relatable enough?
* If yes, you may want to ask yourself about how this loyalty bond is helping you.
* If your answer is a no, how do you identify yourself, what are your key values?
* If you are unsure, don’t worry that’s an exciting place to start from. You might just want to observe your feelings in the presence of your parents. Does any part of your body becomes tighten/relaxed? Do you feel irritable/curious/happy/comfortable?

Comment below whether it’s a YES/NO/UNSURE for you!

Emotional exhaustion is known as the stepping stone to burnout. As our emotional resources are used up in trying to cope with challenging situations - marital conflict, parental demands, lack of support at work or home- our sense of well being and capacity to self care reduces drastically. Constant emotional exhaustion can lead to higher levels of work-life conflict- a problem that is exacerbated in the current COVID-19 crisis.

Identifiers of emotional exhaustion
• lack of motivation • trouble sleeping
• irritability • apathy •change in appetite • failure to meet deadlines •physical fatigue • feelings of isolation

If you identify with 2 ot more of these identifiers, I invite you to think about what constitutes as self-care for you? In what ways is your self- care compromised these days? Do you comsider yourself worthy of rest? Is resting a form of protest? How do you rest? Do you only rest when it’s needed by the body or do you have the ability to enjoy what you call “rest”?
