Do you experience being empathic or compassionate but find it exhausting or stressful or frustrating or upsetting ........ Or all of these?

Empathy without boundaries undermines our wellbeing and relationships.

Maybe this is how you or someone you know operates empathically in life.

We often normalise 'just surviving', but we can thrive and experience wellbeing as we live through our own and others' stresses and challenges with empathy.

Often we don't understand our own needs, having put others' needs over ours for so long.

Only when we are aware of our needs, and accept them as valid, can we understand what boundaries are needed, how to set then, how to express them and how to maintain them ........ Helping us to be a healthy, empathic human ❤️

Boundaries do not mean 'me first'. It means 'me too'.
It does not mean 'I don't care for you'. It means 'my wellbeing is as important as yours'.

This is just one of the many areas that counselling can support you with ❤️

Stopping the burnout from spreading .....

We don’t always have to fight.
We don’t always have to fix.
We don’t even have to explain or justify.

✨ Sometimes the most powerful move is to step away.

Watching the sunrise can improve mood, inspire awe and reduce inflammation 🌅

We are very lucky in Mozambique to have amazing sunrises and sunsets.

In Winter, with sunrise later, some of us can experience this on the drive to work or school or having our morning walk.

For more about mental health benefits of seeing sunrise you can read more on:

www.psychcentral.com/health/watching-the-sunrise

PS. Sunset is also good 😊

Unsure what counselling is?

Counselling can include psychoeducation* (see below for definition) and effective, evidence based well-being and practical tools. It can help you deal with, and overcome, issues that are causing (one or more):

🌿 feelings of being stuck
🌿 emotional pain
🌿 psychological discomfort or distress
🌿 impairment of your daily functioning
🌿 symptoms of anxiety, stress, depression

.

Counselling can provide a safe, confidential and regular space for you to talk and explore difficult or challenging situations and feelings that you may not be comfortable sharing elsewhere.

The counsellor is there to support you, accepting and respecting how you experience your challenges and the meanings you attach to your feelings and emotions.

The counsellor won't usually give advice, but will help you develop your own insights and understanding of your problems, within your cultural context and belief system. Solutions will be explored, as well as, possible new tools to regain and maintain well-being.

Counselling can help you:

🌿 cope with a bereavement, loss or relationship breakdown
🌿 cope with redundancy or work-related stress
🌿 cope with moving to a new country/challenges of being an expat
🌿 explore identity issues
🌿 deal with issues preventing you achieving your ambitions
🌿 cope with and prepare for leaving home/going to university
🌿 cope with stress in senior school years and develop tools to better deal with challenges
🌿 deal with feelings of depression or sadness, and experience life more positively
🌿 deal with feelings of anxiety, helping you worry less about things
🌿 understand yourself and your problems better
🌿 feel more confident
🌿 develop a better understanding of other people's points of view

* Psychoeducation involves learning about and understanding mental health and wellbeing. It’s similar to physical education, where you learn about how your body works, how to look after it and the impacts of different strains or stressors - but instead you apply this to the mind.

Thank you for this helpful info to clarify these terms.

We all have mental health.
If you're human, you have mental health.
It's fluid and on a spectrum.
We always have it just as we all have physical health.
It's important to name it to manage it.
