Su***de awareness month.

Su***de awareness often focuses on encouraging the person in need to 'reach out' but what if someone did come to you for help?

Would you know what to do? Would you know what to say? Would you get flustered? Panic? Would you be afraid of saying the wrong thing? Would you have no clue how to respond if someone is in need and wants your help? If so, that's ok, you're not the only one.

Although often overlooked, su***de awareness is also about helping everyone to feel confident in knowing what to look out for, what to do, what to say, how to respond, how to help, where best to direct the person in need.

I've been on many su***de awareness training courses over the last 25years, some good, some bad. Some will say to look out for signs, but sometimes there are no signs. Some will say encourage the person suffering to reach out, talk to someone, but some people don't feel able to. After all, even in this day and age, there's still a lot of stigma out there.

There's no real 'one fits all' guide book. If there was, there wouldn't be an average of 20 lives per day lost to su***de in the UK.

So, what can you do?
What helps?

Believing you are "broken" is often a deeply ingrained negative core belief. It usually stems from past trauma, childhood experiences, or chronic emotional invalidation that causes you to internalise the message that you are fundamentally flawed. Rather than an absolute truth, it is an emotional filter shaped by what you have endured.

During therapy I can help you to understand where this belief comes from and process the traumatic experiences. I can guide you how to reframe your thoughts and practice self compassion.

I can help you to truly believe that "I am whole" and "I am enough, just as I am", "I am resilient and capable of handling life's challenges", "I am continuously growing and healing", I am worthy of love, respect & happiness".

It was so good to back at University today guiding the next cohort of CYP CBT Trainee Therapists through their Post Graduate training to qualification. 💕 Love my job 💕

12000 steps smashed before lunch👣

After a bite to eat, I will mark a five thousand word case study for a High Intensity CBT therapist's BABCP accreditation application.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (CBT) Accreditation with the British Association for Behavioural & Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP) demonstrates to the public and employers that the therapist meets high standards of training and experience.

If you want to find an accredited High Intensity Cognitive Behavioural Therapist here's the link. You can filter by county or the therapist's name. https://portal.babcp.com//therapist/register

My Friday mornings are all about providing supervision to HI CBT trainees and therapists.

This morning a supervisee wanted advice about planned therapy endings. This is such an important part of the therapy process. When done well, it strengthens recovery and reduces relapse rate & severity.

We talked about:
Old me Vs new me formulations
Relapse management
Repeating questionnaires
Reflective questions
Therapy blueprint
Saying goodbye
Emotions - both of the client and therapist. Yes! Even therapists can feel sad, proud, and lots of other emotions, when therapy comes to an end.

This morning I enjoyed a very wet and windy dog walk. A nice way to start the day with fresh air and exercise as a way to care for my body and mind.

In CBT I often talk about using a balance of activities in 4 main areas to help keep your mood buoyant. The categories are:

Body balance
Sense of achievement
Connecting with others
Enjoyment

I would categorise my dog walk under all of the above as I had a lovely natter with a friend, along with the exercise.

Connecting with others releases the hormone oxytocin. Exercise releases endorphins and increases dopamine & serotonin: neurotransmitters that enhance mood, reward, satisfaction and motivation.

A great start to the day.

I've found a new resting place for my headphones! 😆

I've been thinking a lot about my own space recently. Clearing space, getting rid of things I no longer need. There's nothing like a good clear out.

It's funny how clients (or in this case, clients of CBT therapists I'm supervising) filtrate into our everyday thoughts/lives.

The client I'm referring to has difficulties with hoarding which is a form of OCD. Most of us will never keep so much stuff that it will get to extreme levels of distress or danger. Nevertheless, we can still find it difficult to let go of things we hold dear, might be useful, cost a lot of money etc.

How do you decide what to keep and what to let go of?

I tend to hold onto useful things. Although, this phrenology head does not fall into that category! I've had it "donkey's years" (why do we say that? 🤷🏽). I absolutely adore it and I feel even more justified to hold onto it because it now serves some usefulness 😆
