Do you know what you want more of in life, but find that you keep going back to old habits and patterns that keep you stuck? Schema Therapy in combination with elements of Positive Psychology can be great for helping to shift those automatic ways of operating and move towards more fun, joy and ease… and all the good stuff! 🫶🏻☀️🍃

Happy Friday! It’s almost the weekend again.

We often spend our lives focussed on our goals, to-do-lists and tasks that keep us on the move… but making time for rest and play is essential in being able to recharge, reset, fill our cup and be ready for another week. When we don’t spend enough time in ‘rest and digest’ - the parasympathetic nervous system state that brings us back to equilibrium after a period of effort or stress - we can start a new week feeling exhausted with a feeling of dread, wondering how we are going to get through till Friday.

What can you do for YOU this weekend that will fill your cup, recharge the batteries and bring you a sense of fun or relaxation? Your Monday self will thank you 😊 ☀️🌻

Are you a busy individual or health professional wanting to focus on your health and wellbeing? If you are struggling to find the balance in life you may have old habits and patterns that are keeping you stuck… surviving rather than thriving. Getting caught up in these negative cycles may lead to stress, exhaustion, overwhelm, unpleasant physical symptoms and a lack of energy for activities that bring you a sense of fun and fulfilment.

Do you find yourself…
* Overriding your body and your nervous system to keep up with your schedule?
* Constantly solving problems in your work and home life, but struggling to enjoy the present moment?
* Becoming preoccupied with demands from the outside world and struggling to find time for your own needs?
* Constantly pursuing goals that may not be aligned with what you REALLY WANT to achieve and the life you want for yourself?
* Getting caught up in the frenetic energy of your work or home life?
* Focusing on the needs of others, whilst feeling like your own tank is empty?

Do you want to…
* Enjoy a greater sense of physical and emotional wellbeing?
* Have some energy left at the end of the day for fun and connection with your friends and loved ones, or your own hobbies and interests?
* Feel lighter and less bogged down in the day-to-day routine?
* Live your life in a way that is aligned with your preferences, values and your own nervous system and unique personality?

In my work with clients we focus on understanding and shifting the schemas, or negative patterns that may block us from enjoying a greater sense of ease, fun, lightness and energy in our lives. Often working with the Unrelenting Standards, Self-sacrifice and Emotional Deprivation schemas in sessions, we have the opportunity to address the long-standing beliefs and emotional wounds from the past, allowing for more connection with ourselves, and our needs, guiding us towards a life that fits with our individual preferences and desires, personalities and values.
