Support for men with Tom at Beam

Walk it off is starting again in Feb, to support men who need it. This free group is there for those feeling lonely, isolated, lost or for those who just fancy going for a walk with a few others in nature with other men.

There is no cost, no pressure just a chance to be outside, have a chat and probably a coffee (you do have to bring your own).

Within our therapy room, we often hear clients say “I need fixing” and every single time, we reply with “You don’t need fixing, you are not broken!” Sure we recognise that challenges and trials can make all of us feel that way sometimes but the truth is, every single human being is walking around with scars, bruises and scrapes that aren’t visible. That doesn’t make us broken, it makes us human.

Merry Christmas, lovely souls. 🎄💛
Wherever you are today, surrounded by family, sharing laughter, feeling the quiet, missing someone, or simply taking things moment by moment, we want you to know this:

You are doing beautifully.
Not perfectly. Not effortlessly.
Beautifully... in the real, human, imperfect way that matters.

Christmas carries so many emotions.
Joy. Memory. Hope. Tenderness. Tiredness. Longing. Gratitude.
You’re allowed to feel all of them.

Today, we hope you find at least one moment that feels gentle.
One breath that feels grounding.
One tiny spark of warmth that reaches your heart.

🎄 Your Christmas Day tool 🎄
Place your hand on your heart.
Take one slow breath in…
And whisper: “I deserve peace today.”

Because you do.
More than you know.

From our Beam Therapy family to yours.

With love,
Lianne & Tom 💛

It’s Christmas Eve, and today’s Advent prompt is an invitation to pause, I mean really pause, and come back to your meaning of Christmas.

Not the expectations.
Not the pressure.
Not the hype.
Not the perfectly-wrapped versions we see online.
But the deeper truth that lives quietly inside you.

Christmas can hold many things at once: joy and tenderness, celebration and nostalgia, excitement and overwhelm, love and longing.

So today, let’s gently create a moment just for you.

🎄 Today’s Advent tool 🎄
Find a quiet minute.
Place your hand on your heart or rest your palms together.
Take one slow breath in… and a longer breath out.
Then ask yourself:
“What does Christmas truly mean to me?”

Is it connection?
Is it rest?
Is it faith?
Is it memories of someone you love?
Is it joy in the small things?
Is it simply making it through another year?

Whatever rises up, let it be true for you, without comparison, without guilt, without expectation.

Your meaning matters.
Your experience matters.
You matter.

Wishing you a gentle, grounded, heartfelt Christmas Eve. 💛

Day 23 and we’re nearly at the end of our Advent Calendar, and today is all about you.

Not the roles you play.
Not the expectations you carry.
Just you, as a human being who deserves care and kindness too.

This time of year is full of giving ; energy, time, support, effort, emotion.

But the truth is: your nervous system needs receiving just as much as it needs giving.

So today, we gently shift the focus inward.

🎄 Today’s Advent tool 🎄
Ask yourself:
“What’s one thing I can gift myself today?”

It doesn’t need to be big.
It might be:
• ten minutes of silence
• a warm bath
• saying no to something
• a slow walk
• an early night
• a moment to breathe
• permission to feel what you feel
• the truth you’ve been avoiding
• the compassion you give everyone else

Choose one thing and actually give it to yourself.
Not later. Not when things calm down.
Today.

You deserve gifts that nourish you, not drain you. 💛

22/12/2025

It’s Day 22 of our Advent Calendar, and today’s focus is release.

This time of year can make us hold onto so much: expectations, lists, pressure, emotions, and tiny worries that follow us around like shadows.

But your nervous system isn’t built to carry everything at once.

Letting go isn’t giving up, it’s creating space.
Space for calm.
Space for breath.
Space for you.

🎄 Today’s Advent tool 🎄
Choose one thing to release today.
It could be:
• a task that doesn’t really need doing
• a thought that’s been following you
• a worry that’s draining your energy
• a story about yourself that no longer feels true

Write it down.
Fold the paper.
Exhale slowly, longer than your inhale.
And imagine leaving that worry right there on the page (you can rip it up or even burn it when you're done).

Your body will feel the relief instantly.

Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is simply… let go. 💛

Happy Day 21!

Something we often teach at Beam is that "the rhythm of your breath, reflects the rhythm of your life". If your breath right now, is jagged, fast, held ... then your body will respond in kind.

Get your breath flowing smoothly and freely today by pausing before you say yes to anything, this gives your mind space to check in with your body.

🎄 Today’s Advent tool 🎄
Before you respond to anything today, pause.
One breath in.
One breath out.
Then decide.

Give your day some breathing room. 💛

It’s Day 20!

Today we’re leaning into connection again, not the surface-level kind, but the deep, meaningful connection that stays with people long after the moment has passed.

We often underestimate the impact we have on others and we're not always great at telling people how grateful we are for their love, support, wisdom or even humour!

A message from you could be the reminder they didn’t know they needed.

Humans heal through connection… and sometimes one sentence is enough to soften someone’s whole day.

🎄 Today’s Advent tool 🎄
Send a message to someone who mattered to you this year.
Offer sincere gratitude, no need for a whole essay, just "I am grateful for you" can be enough.
Or you can tag them in this post!

Warmth shared becomes warmth felt, for both of you. 💛

19/12/2025

So many people are getting ready to spend time with their family now and for some, that's wonderful and for others it's a potential nightmare!

If you are dreading it, plan your strategy before you go, think of what boundaries are non negotiable, have a cool down plan and try to respond not react 💜

19/12/2025

Welcome to Day 19!

Softness, warmth, and comfort all send powerful safety signals to your nervous system helping it to feel safe and calm.

🎄 Today’s Advent tool 🎄
Wrap up warm.
Hold a hot drink.
Take one long, deep exhale.
Let your body settle.

Comfort heals. 💛

18/12/2025

Day 18 is your truth moment:

You were never meant to carry everything alone.

🎄 Today’s Advent tool 🎄
Choose ONE thing to release today:
A task.
A worry.
An expectation.
Remind yourself "I don't have to do it all"
Breathe!

Lightening the load lightens the mind. 💛

17/12/2025

It’s Day 17!

all too often we are good at ruminating on negative things that have happened in our past, but how often do you let yourself savour the good times too?

Warm memories have a physical and psychological effect on us, they soften the nervous system and quieten the mind.

🎄 Today’s Advent tool 🎄
Think of one memory that warms you instantly.
Where do you feel it in your body?
Breathe into that spot.

This is emotional nourishment. 💛
