If switching off feels impossible, you’re not alone. 🤍

In this week’s 60 Seconds Therapy with Laura G, I’m talking about addiction, the nervous system & that feeling of being unable to naturally unwind without reaching for something to take the edge off.

Sometimes what looks like “I just can’t relax” or ‘why do I need that substance to switch off or feel good’ is actually your body struggling to feel safe enough to slow down.

A little reminder: you’re not broken & you don’t have to figure it all out at once.

🎧 Take 60 seconds, have a listen, let me know if this resonates with you & if you have any other topic you’d like me to cover

This week in the therapy room, I’ve welcomed new clients taking their very first steps into therapy, regular clients continuing their work & some familiar faces coming back for a little “top up” of support 🥰.

I imagine many of them will have recognised themselves somewhere in this carousel….
Because starting therapy can feel like a big step!

Sometimes it takes weeks, months (or even years) to finally reach out.
You might question whether things are “bad enough,” wonder what you’ll say or feel nervous about letting someone into parts of your world you’ve kept private for a long time 🥹.

But I want you to know….you don’t have to have it all figured out before you reach out 🫶.

You can simply say, “I think I might need some support.”
That first message can feel daunting, but it can also be the beginning of something really meaningful.

And to those who have reached out this week….whether you’ve booked your first session, asked a question or simply sent a message to see if therapy might be right for you….that in itself is a brave step. 🌿

Therapy isn’t just for when you’re falling apart.

It can be a space to understand yourself, reconnect with yourself, process what you’ve been carrying & learn new ways of moving through life.

And to my regular clients & those who return for their “top ups” 🥰….i love that therapy can be something you return to when you need it.
There doesn’t have to be a crisis for you to come back & check in with yourself.

So if you’ve been thinking about therapy lately, perhaps this is your gentle reminder:
✨You don’t have to wait until you’re struggling more to take that first step.
✨Your future self might be very grateful that you did. 🤍

Here’s to another week of us all doing life together 😉

There are still a few spaces available for this Sunday 16th Kundalini Activation Dream Temple ceremony ✨

A beautiful way to experience Kundalini energy in a deep, immersive & embodied way.

The session is held through headphones, which makes the experience feel really intimate & immersive.

You can fully drop in, switch off from the outside world & give yourself space to connect inward.

A chance to explore energy, release, receive & simply just be with whatever comes up for you. 🤍

If you’ve been curious about Kundalini Activation, this is a lovely way to experience it.

Not all grief comes from death.
Sometimes, we grieve what has changed. 🤍
A friendship ends.
Someone leaves your life.
A business changes direction.
A relationship no longer feels the same.
A chapter you loved comes to an end.
And even when you know the change is for the best it can still hurt.

Because we’re not only grieving the person or situation….we may be grieving the connection, the routine, the future we imagined, the sense of belonging or the version of ourselves that existed within it.

This is sometimes called disenfranchised grief….grief that isn’t always recognised or openly acknowledged.

So how do you know you might be experiencing it?
✨ Notice & acknowledge that something has changed.
✨ Give yourself permission to acknowledge what or who you’ve lost.
✨ Don’t minimise it just because “it wasn’t a relationship” or “it was only a friendship” or “it was just business.”
✨ Allow yourself to feel the sadness, anger, confusion or even relief.
✨ Talk to someone you trust rather than carrying it alone.
✨ Create space for the new chapter without rushing yourself to be “over it.”

Healing doesn’t always mean forgetting or moving on as quickly as possible.

Sometimes, healing means accepting that something mattered, allowing yourself to grieve it & slowly learning how to move forward without it.

If something in your life has changed recently & you’re finding it harder than you expected, this reel is for you 🫶.

✨ Your healing doesn’t have to happen alone. ✨

As a therapist, I don’t believe social media is inherently good or bad.
It can inspire us, educate us, help us feel connected & even remind us that we’re not alone.

But it can also quietly shape the way we think about ourselves too 🙁.

When we’re constantly exposed to carefully curated routines, perfect homes, flawless diets, endless productivity or “day in the life” videos, it’s easy to forget that we’re comparing our everyday reality to someone else’s edited highlights.

Our brains aren’t always good at recognising the difference.
Comparison can leave us feeling like we’re behind, not doing enough or somehow getting life wrong.

Over time….that can have a real impact on our self esteem, anxiety levels & overall mental wellbeing.

That’s why you’ll notice my content is a little different.

I’m not here to sell perfection or create the illusion that life should look a certain way.

I’m here to create a space that feels honest, compassionate & grounded in reality.

Because healing isn’t aesthetic.
Growth isn’t linear.

& a meaningful life doesn’t need to be performed for an algorithm.

If this post is a reminder of anything, let it be this…..your worth has never depended on how your life looks online ✨😉.

I really enjoyed recording this reel because it was inspired by a request from someone in this community 🫶 & I know it can help so many people out there.

I love hearing what you’d like me to talk about, because chances are, if one person is struggling with something, many others are too 😉✨.

Worrying about what other people think of us is something I see come up so often in therapy.
On the surface, it can look like overthinking, people-pleasing or second guessing yourself. But underneath, it’s often rooted in something much deeper:
our self esteem & our fear of rejection.

As humans, we’re wired to seek connection & belonging. So when we perceive a risk of being judged, criticised or excluded, our nervous system responds as though we’re under threat.
Our mind starts trying to protect us by analysing every interaction, replaying conversations & making assumptions about what others might be thinking (you know the 3am conversations that go on in our heads replaying a scenario over & over 😬😩).

The difficulty is that these assumptions can slowly become “facts” in our minds, leaving us feeling less confident, more anxious & more disconnected from who we really are.

So here are a reminders that I often share with clients:
✨ Thoughts aren’t facts.
Ask yourself, “What evidence do I actually have?”

✨ Notice when you’re seeking approval instead of acting in line with your own values & person that you are!

✨ Build your self esteem from the inside out.
The more you trust your own judgment, the less dependent you become on other people’s opinions.

✨Remember that most people are far more focused on themselves than they are on you (this is especially one I remember alot of teenagers with when they go through fear of being seen).

Healing isn’t about reaching a place where you never care what anyone thinks. It’s about developing enough self worth & self love that someone else’s opinion doesn’t determine your value 👌.

I’d love to know what topic would you like me to cover next?
Let me know in the comments or drop me a DM or message. 🤍

Also, share this with anyone you feel needs this reminder too 😉

Ending July on a really special note 🤍🫶

This month, I’ve had the privilege of hearing that a client will be moving into an amazing new role in London 💪 while also finding her way back into life with…. more confidence, connection & a sense of herself again.

Reading her words about how therapy has helped her has been incredibly moving.
It’s moments like these that remind me why I do what I do 🥹
Watching someone grow, find their feet again when life has kicked them down & begin to build a life that feels like theirs is such a privilege 🫶.

One of the biggest things I’d love people to take from this is that you don’t have to be at your lowest to start therapy.
Sometimes life simply starts to feel like it’s taking you down a difficult path…..
You might feel stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected or unsure of where to go next.

You don’t have to wait until everything feels unbearable & too much.

A therapist can be there to hold your hand for a while, help you make sense of what’s happening & support you as you find your way back to yourself.

There’s no shame in asking for support.
Sometimes…it’s the bravest first step.

And who knows….it may be the best thing you ever do!

❤️
