Pronouns

So often, language can fail us. We just can’t quite find the right words or know how to express something in the correct way, or a way that truly conveys the meaning we are trying to put across. At times, never is this more true than in the therapy room, when we try and putContinue reading “Pronouns”

Lockdown Continues

There is a real issue, that is going on, bubbling under the surface. That everyone is going through lockdown, everyone is finding it tough, and so therefore, no one is allowed to complain about it, and no one can recognise the effect it is having on people. There is talk of how it effects mentalContinue reading “Lockdown Continues”

Sleep

Sleep is a weird thing, in that we all need it every day, and we know it is important, but I don’t think we truly realise just how much we need it until we don’t get enough. Sleep can often indicate other things in our lives, and most counsellors will ask about sleep in theContinue reading “Sleep”

A different kind of Christmas

Anniversaries are always tough. It was a few days ago now and I didn’t have the time and space on the day itself. (On a side note, I’m not sure deciding to start a blog just as I have assignments due was the best idea!) I wonder whether there will ever be a year whereContinue reading “Anniversaries”

Self-Care

I am really having to start learning about self-care. I think I know about it, but really, I might be able to see various aspects of it but I am certainly not good at it. Sometimes, people just say do some exercise or have a bath, or something like that. But really, not often isContinue reading “Self-Care”

An Introduction to Me and My World

I have started blogs before and kept them hidden from the world. I am not sure my words are ones that people would care about or would want to read. But the more I learn about me, and the further I walk in training to be a counsellor, the more I find I have wordsContinue reading “An Introduction to Me and My World”
