Is it anxiety or just a bit of worry? 😣

Feeling worried about life is a normal human experience, but sometimes it can expand into an that spirals out of control.

Worry is typically about singular issues that are easily resolvable and don’t have a significant impact on your sense of wellbeing.

Anxiety, by contrast, is much more vague, causing extreme stress responses that can be felt as physical symptoms in the body.

One of the best ways to respond to anxiety is psychological talking therapy, which can help you find the root of why you are feeling the way you are.

You do not need to earn rest. It is not a “reward” only to be enjoyed when you have completed “enough” work.

Like food and water, your body needs it.

Sadly, around a third of UK adults say that worry and stress stops them getting the rest they need.

If you find it hard to prioritise rest or still can’t relax even when you do, it’s not too late to make a change. A few small things that can help:

• Get daylight first thing in the morning.
• Implement a calming bedtime routine.
• Don’t look at screens before going to sleep.
• Schedule restful activities into your calendar.
• Talk to a professional about your challenges.

If you need more rest than others, that is okay. Everyone has different needs and capacities, and yours deserve to be respected.

Whichever camp you fall into, The Dawn Practice tailors sessions entirely to your needs, meeting you exactly where you are ❤️‍🩹

The theme of “dawn” is symbolic of the hope and new beginnings that our clients experience when they seek support from our clinicians 🌅

Just as dawn marks the end of darkness and the promise of a new day, the name symbolises:

Personal growth with meaningful actions that create real change.
Emotional renewal that allows you to release the weight of the past.
Forward movement towards a warmer and more fulfilling future.

We believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to start again, to rise with warmth and support, and to step into a brighter future.
