Self belief hides easily, it takes practice to silence the inner critic and actually believe our own worth. This is taken from a truly beautiful poem ‘Wonderful’ by Harry Baker.

Worry thrives the more thought we give it. It is like carrying a heavy sack of rocks. Often we feel we have no control over our worries. We haul them around and it seems we only add to them. What if we could take some worry out? If we had the opportunity to share some worries, give them to someone else, it could lighten the load. Counselling is a safe space to share those worries, no matter how heavy or frightening they are. You don’t have to do it alone.

Before we have even heard what another person is saying, we have often already formed a response to what we think they are going to say. Poor communication is the most common issue where couples find themselves struggling. Counselling can help couples notice communication patterns and develop skills to actively listening to one another and improve emotional connection.

Hi I’m interested in some CPD around attachment, I’m not after a huge meaty project. Just something for my own interest and development. Preferably delivered face to face in the North West?

Anxiety can spiral when triggered. Then we overthink making the problem seem bigger. It can become so overwhelming and big that it can create panic and physical symptoms or lead to a panic attack. Use grounding techniques to help slow breathing, distract your mind and regain control.

Fear creeps up from nowhere, silent it grips us hard. Fear of doing something new. Fear of facing something difficult, fear of not being able to do it and often fear of not being enough. We all have courage and use it in all these situations without giving ourselves credit.

The noisy ‘internal chatter we experience is often louder at night when we have less distractions and the ‘volume’ gets louder. It can feel like we get stuck in a loop of negativity, increasing anxiety and making us feel overwhelmed and less in control. Talking to someone can help you make sense of things and help you regain some control.

Fear and Anxiety have this way of making us believe only negative thoughts. Catching these anxious thoughts and ‘putting them on trial’ considering an alternative more balanced possibility can help challenge the automatic negative beliefs.

So much time is spent saying and doing things to please others, often at the expense of losing ourselves in the process. Take time to listen to yourself and reflect on what you need.
