Talking Therapy with Diane Jones

Talking Therapy with Diane Jones I blend Integrative Counselling with energy work to support adults, online or in person sessions.

Sometimes support is needed through life’s difficult chapters, through loss, past trauma, health issues or confidence to find yourself again 🦋

A new hobby for me and got unexpected extras 🌸
I’ve wanted this for a while and got for my birthday but I didn’t realise how calming I would feel choosing flowers, arranging them carefully and tucking them down to dry for a few weeks.

Honestly this slowed my busy little monkey brain down and think it’s where I’m so focused in the moment.

So finding that calm feeling doesn’t always have to involve meditation or sitting completely still. It can also be from gardening, walking, crafting, baking, dancing… or my new favourite, pressing a few flowers. 🌸

Have you found something that helps quieten your mind and slows down that heart rate 🦋

One of the things I’m finally learning as I get older is that I care a lot less about what other people think of me. 🤍
And I’m becoming much more comfortable with simply being me even if someone might be watching or judging.
And honestly… it’s quite freeing. 🦋

Love to hear one thing you are learning about yourself?

This week’s reminder 🌸
You don’t have to have everything figured out.
You don’t have to get everything right.
And you certainly don’t have to be perfect.

Many of us picked up somewhere along the way, that if we were perfect, if we were a good girl, then and only then were we worthy of love from others

But actually, let’s work on resetting, that just being you is enough to be worthy of love🤍🦋

Have you ever done anything on your own by choice?
And I know this is not for everyone and if I had no choice I know it would feel different but this spa break was a gift I from last Christmas and I’m loving doing it on my own.
And what a treat it has been to finally use it now, just as summer is starting to come to an end 🤍

I absolutely love people and I going away with family and friends, making memories, is always special.
But I find, there is something different about going away on my own every now and again.
I think this gives me time to slow down, be really present and enjoy my own company for a moment.

I do sometimes wonder what others think when they see me on my own but honestly I dont feel at all alone…
I find I’m connecting more with my own thoughts and really noticing my surroundings 🦋

Be interesting how many of you think this is a little strange 😉

I wonder why we so easily miss those baby steps, yet are quick to criticise ourselves for what we perceive we haven’t done well 🤔

I know I used to do this, and it still sneaks in at times but I notice it a quicker now.
This also comes in client work so today, let’s recognise, celebrate and share the small steps we have taken so far this month 🤍🦋

Love encouraging the grandchildren into the garden so picking tomatoes with my 10-year-old grandson started so well… until the temptation for a tomato to became a football was just too much 😂⚽🍅

Gardening with children doesn’t always go quite to plan but actually neither does life, and that’s what makes the moments so much fun 🤍🦋🌱

For whoever needs this little reminder as we head into the weekend…
🪷You don’t have to spend every minute being productive
🪷You don’t have to catch up on everything you didn’t get done this week
🪷And you certainly don’t have to feel guilty for taking some time for yourself

🌸Maybe this weekend is for getting things done
🌸Maybe it’s for seeing people you love
🌸Or maybe it’s simply for slowing down and enjoying the little things

Whatever your weekend looks like, I hope you find a little time to breathe, and do something that makes YOU happy.
Have a wonderful weekend and thank you for hanging out here with me and inviting your friends to this space too 🤍🙏🦋

I have noticed a pattern in client work recently and this also happened to me for a while during menopause, where we become focused on….
What we think we are NOT good at
What we SHOULD be doing differently
Or how we compare to others
But then we then miss noticing what we actually bring to the world

But actually - how do we measure our value in the world…..
🌍 Success
🌍 What we achieve
🌍 What we do for others
🌍 If we feel like we have it all together

But I think our value can also be….
🌸The way you make someone laugh
🌸The way you listen
🌸Kindness you show
🌸Things you’ve learnt
🌸The way you care
🌸The little things you do that you might not even realise matter to someone else

So if you are feeling a little lost right now, know that you don’t have to become someone else to be valuable.
There is already something uniquely yours that you bring into this world.

Sometimes we just need a little help to see it again🦋

I used to dislike this time of year but couldn’t remember why, and then I happened to stumble across this old photo from way back to those years as a single mum.

I remembered how much I loved having the kids at home for the school holidays, with more relaxed days together and no clubs or early mornings.
But then the first days of September, when that panic crept in came flooding back to me…..

School uniforms
School shoes
New routines and classrooms
Money
Trying to make sure everyone was where they needed to be AND on time!

It was such a mixture of emotions because I was sad the holidays were coming to an end, and yet knew getting back into a routine would make life a little easier.

🦋So you might be a parent feeling overwhelmed at the thought of getting everyone back into a routine
🦋Or one that’s feeling sad that the holidays are ending
🦋Actually you may be buzzing and cannot wait to wave them off at the school gates

Know that whatever you are feeling right now is ok and perfectly normal.
I think we can love being a mum while still finding some parts of it hard and wanting a bit of peace back

This old photo reminded me of a younger me who was doing her best with what she had at the time.
And I think she did ok 🤍

I came across this gorgeous arch while we were away at the weekend and walking through it led to the most unexpected green space, with six apple trees absolutely full of apples. 🍎

And it made me think about something I see so often with clients…
How we can carry SO much around in our heads.
🌱Things that have happened.
🌱Things we wish we had said.
🌱Things we need to remember.
🌱Things we are worried about.
🌱Conversations we keep going over.
🌱Things we haven’t quite worked out yet.

Sometimes I have found that just writing things down can help.
You don’t need to know exactly what you are feeling and it doesn’t even need to make sense of it.
Just get some of what’s whirling around in your head onto paper.

It can be surprisingly freeing when your thoughts don’t all have to live inside your head at once 🦋
