Logically… you might know that you are now in a place of safety. But that doesn’t mean you always FEEL safe.

Our minds may understand that our environment is safe, but perhaps our body just didn’t get the memo!

Maybe you’re struggling to switch off from painful memories, constantly waiting for things to go wrong, or preparing for the worst before anything has even happened.

Our bodies can hold on to the effects of trauma for much longer than we might actually be fully aware of… so our responses don’t always immediately catch up with our circumstances.

Therapy can be a place for you to understand these patterns and look at them with a bit more kindness, rather than constantly trying to convince yourself that you “should” be fine.

You’re allowed to be gentle with the parts of you that are still learning that it’s safe now. 🤍

Now, I’m not suggesting that in every case, these things are responses to trauma. But I do think it can be really valuable to reflect on our past experiences and consider how much of what we’ve been through may be contributing to the person we are today.

These are just some examples of how the things we experience can shape the way we think, feel and behave.
And most of the time, we don’t even realise we’re doing it. It probably just feels like second nature.

But I hear people ask the question “Why am I like this?" all the time.

And for me, part of the value of therapy is creating a space where we can get curious, and explore what might be contributing to the way you feel and respond in certain situations.

Not with the intention of blaming the past or to find something "wrong" with you... but to understand yourself a little better. 🤍

There are so many things I’ve learned since training to be a therapist, but these are the ones that really stand out when I reflect on my journey so far. 💭

One of the things I love most about being a therapist is that I’m always learning something new.. whether that’s about myself, my clients, or the kind of therapist I want to be.

So much of what I have learnt has been about building the confidence to just be myself, work through imposter syndrome and let go of the need to be the ‘perfect therapist’ (whatever that is!). Rather than fighting with myself to be perfect all the time, my main focus is to keep growing and learning, so that I can give my clients the best of me. I genuinely care about my clients and the work I do - and part of that means knowing when it’s time to step back and take care of my own needs, too. 🩵✨🫂

For those of you who feel like you need to be in control at all times.

For those of you who struggle to feel comfortable when control is taken away.

For those of you who fear what might happen if you loosen your grip, or surrender control.

I see you. 🤍

In an ideal world, we’d all have a sense of control over our lives. But, as life would have it, that isn’t always possible.

For some people who have experienced trauma, being in control can become closely linked with feeling safe.

And honestly… why wouldn’t we want to keep doing the thing that makes us feel safe? It makes complete sense.

But sometimes, that need for control can start to get in the way of the life we actually want.

Maybe you find it difficult to ask for or accept help.

Maybe spontaneity feels uncomfortable rather than exciting.

Maybe you find yourself needing to plan for every possible outcome because not knowing feels unbearable.

I'm not here to tell you that you should just surrender all control and see what happens. In fact, you don’t necessarily have to give up control completely at all in order to move forwards.

What if the next step is starting to develop a deeper trust in yourself - a trust that, even when you can’t control what happens, you can handle what comes next. 🤍

If you’re under the illusion that therapists must have all of their own stuff figured out, let me demystify that one for you! 👀

As much as I am a therapist, I’m constantly reminding myself that I’m also human.

This job can sometimes leave me feeling like I should be the most ‘put together’ version of myself at all times - but honestly, that’s just not my reality. And it’s rarely the reality for my clients either.

As much as I genuinely care about doing this job well, I also have days where I’m tired, overwhelmed, overthink things, get things wrong and have absolutely no idea what I’m doing next. 😂

So, whilst I will always endeavour to be all of the great therapist-y things… this is your reminder that when it comes down to it.. we’re all just figuring it out with you.🩵

If you’re one of my clients… you’ve probably heard me say this before:

Both things can be true.

Emotions are confusing (who knew?!), and sometimes they can feel like they’re in complete conflict with each other.

We can get so stuck on the idea that we "should" have it figured out. That surely we can only feel one way or the other? That if we feel two completely opposite things, one of them must be wrong?

But that's not strictly true.

These conflicting emotions can often come from our different ‘parts’ - the parts of us that have developed in response to things we’ve experienced along the way.

Instead of trying to decide which feeling is the "right" one, we can get curious about both.

When we validate those feelings and approach them with curiosity and acceptance, we give both parts of us a chance to feel heard.

And there is space for ALL of the emotions… not just the ones we think are acceptable. 🩵

Your reminder to pause, breathe, and release the tension you didn’t know you were holding. 🩵🧘🏽‍♀️

Learning about love languages can be a game changer if you’re looking to feel more connected to your partner. 🫂✨

If you’ve been feeling a little disconnected, ask yourself: When was the last time I truly felt loved by my partner? Was it when they complimented your new outfit? When they surprised you with something you’d been talking about for ages but never got round to buying yourself? Or when they simply held you close after a stressful day?

Your answer might give you a clue about the love language that resonates most with you.

One of the biggest mistakes we make is assuming our partner experiences love in the same way we do. We often give love in the way we’d like to receive it…but that’s not always what makes the other person feel most loved.

For example, you might feel deeply loved when your partner tells you every day how beautiful you are. But for them, those words might not have the same impact. Instead, they may feel most loved when you make them a cup of coffee in their favourite mug or do something thoughtful to make their day a little easier.

The goal isn’t to get it perfect every time. It’s to understand what helps you and your partner feel genuinely loved, valued and connected. From there, you can work together to nurture your relationship in ways that feel meaningful and authentic to both of you. 🩵🫂✨

Something so easy to forget yet so important to remember. Your needs and happiness are important too 🩵

If other people don’t get it, that doesn’t make it wrong. 🩵
