A calm moment can change the whole tone of your day.

Try a 2-minute breathing reset, a quiet morning moment, or a short walk without your phone.

Small grounding practices protect your peace, even in the busiest season.

You don’t have to smile your way through the season if that’s not how you feel.

Forced happiness creates emotional burnout, authenticity creates relief.

This December, honour your real emotions.

You deserve honesty, not pressure.

If you’ve been feeling forgetful, irritable, or mentally foggy lately… it may be emotional exhaustion calling for your attention.

December can pull us in many directions, often without giving us space to breathe.

Slow down when you need to. Your wellbeing matters, especially now.

The festive season can bring joy, but it can also bring pressure, memories, and emotional overload.

If December feels heavier than you expected, you’re not failing. You’re human.

Give yourself permission to move through this month at your own pace.

🌿 You’re not alone.

🌱 Common Myths About EUPD (BPD)

And the Real Truth 🌱

Myth: “People with EUPD are manipulative.”
✨ Truth: It’s usually distress communication, not manipulation. It comes from fear, not control.

Myth: “EUPD can’t be treated.”
✨ Truth: Therapies like DBT and MBT help people recover and build stable, fulfilling lives.

Myth: “It’s just attention-seeking.”
✨ Truth: Emotional overwhelm isn’t a choice. Reaching out is a human need.

Myth: “People with EUPD are dangerous.”
✨ Truth: They’re far more likely to hurt themselves, not others. They deserve compassion, not fear.

Myth: “They’re just dramatic.”
✨ Truth: Emotions are felt more intensely due to trauma and sensitivity, not exaggeration.

💛 People with EUPD aren’t “too much.” They’re often deeply caring, resilient, and trying their best with feelings that hit harder than most.

If you need this reminder today, you’re not alone. 💛

Healing from trauma isn’t a straight line—it’s a journey. 🌿

Did you know that 70% of adults experience at least one traumatic event in their lifetime? But here’s the thing: trauma isn’t just about what happened to you—it’s about how your body and mind continue to hold onto it.

💡 What nobody tells you:

• Healing can feel messy and uncomfortable before it feels better.

• Progress is often slow, but even small steps matter.

• You don’t have to face it alone—healing happens in safe, supportive spaces.

Your trauma does not define you, and seeking help is the ultimate act of strength. If you're ready to take the first step, I’m here to help. Get in touch today.

The festive season isn’t always joyful for everyone, and that’s okay. 🎄

For many, Christmas can bring feelings of stress, loneliness, grief, or financial pressure. If you’re struggling with your mental health during this time, remember: you don’t have to face it alone.

💡 Tips for coping this season:

• Set boundaries: It’s okay to say no to gatherings or commitments that feel overwhelming.

• Reach out: Whether to a loved one, a trusted friend, or a professional, talking can help lighten the load.

• Prioritise self-care: Take time for yourself, even if it’s just a walk, a cup of tea, or quiet moments away from the noise.

• Lower expectations: The “perfect Christmas” is a myth—focus on what feels right for you.

📞 Need support over Christmas?

• Samaritans: Call 116 123 (free, 24/7)

• Mind: 0300 123 3393

• Text “SHOUT” to 85258 (free, confidential support via text)

You are not alone, and it’s okay to ask for help. Taking that first step is an act of courage. 💚

CHRISTMAS - I will still be replying to emails over the festive period, so my inbox is ALWAYS open!

Recovering from Burnout & Rebuilding Your Energy 🍁

Here's a helpful guide to get you started:

1. Acknowledge & Accept Burnout
Recognizing burnout is the first step toward healing. It's not a failure—just a signal that things need to shift. Accepting this without guilt lets you focus on what your mind and body need to recover.

2. Prioritise Rest and Self-Care
Rest is crucial, whether through sleep, relaxation, or taking time away from work. Self-care is more than pampering, it’s reconnecting with what restores your energy, like nature walks or hobbies that bring you joy.

3. Set Boundaries and Say “No”
Learning to say “no” is essential for self-preservation. Set healthy limits to protect your energy, and be intentional about what you choose to engage in. This helps prevent burnout from recurring.

4. Reconnect with Your Purpose
Reflect on what matters most to you. Reconnecting with your sense of purpose in work, relationships, or personal pursuits can help you gain clarity and refocus your energy.

5. Celebrate Small Wins
Focus on small, achievable goals every day. Celebrating these victories, big or small, can help rebuild your confidence and slowly restore your energy.

6. Nourish Your Body and Mind
Fuel your recovery by eating well, staying hydrated, and moving your body. Mental health also thrives when you engage in activities like reading, music, or spending time with loved ones.

7. Seek Support
Reach out to friends, family, or a therapist to help you navigate burnout. Sometimes, just talking to someone can offer relief, and therapy can provide strategies to prevent future burnout.

8. Be Patient with Yourself
Recovery isn’t linear, some days will feel better than others. Be kind to yourself, and celebrate every small step toward restoring your well-being.

If you're ready to take the first step, I’m here to help. Get in touch today.
