Talking From The Art

🔴🟢🔵🟣 With it being Parent Mental Health today, it seems like a good day to say, to all parents out there, It's ok to not be finding this easy.
The theme this year is Balance, something that doesn't naturally always fit with parenting. Balance can be hard to find. Worrying, feeling guilty, time management - all challenging to balance alongside doing the best parenting that we can.
Just know that you are seen today - your mental health is important.

🟢🟣🔵 If you’re considering starting therapy or counselling, Counselling Directory is another source for finding a therapist. Another opportunity to figure out which type of therapist you would like based on their bio’s, location, and information amongst other things
Or a chance to look at my profile to gather some more information about Talking From The Art 🙂

My name is Ashleigh. I have a passion for listening to others. Using curiosity and creativity is key in my approach to therapy. You, as a client, are always leading the pace and direction of the work, and I as the therapist, will hold the space.

🟣🟢🔵 Therapists often won't give you advice or tips directly when in the therapy room. It's more about working towards insight and awareness together. Sometimes it might be ideas around managing anxiety by being in the moment or acknowledging achievements. And it's always optional as something that you could try if it seems to fit with you. After that, the idea needs repeating often in your life until becomes a habit.

🔵 🟢 Before starting therapy, information gathering can be really important.
Things like; location, fees, specialist areas and style of therapy, can all inform your decision.
Getting the right therapist is important! It’s worth looking around at a few before deciding who you would like to work with.
Therapist profiles can be found online with a google search. This profile of mine below is on BAAT, which is the main website for Art Therapists. Other websites such as UKCP and Counselling Directory also contain profiles.

When it comes to art therapy, the use of metaphor and imagery is huge. Used alongside words for processing and aiding exploration of complex ideas.
The way this complicated relationship dynamic between mothers, daughters and fathers is beautifully described through nature is inspiring!

🔴 Another Sunday Share - And a reminder, that during this time of year when the pressure is high, the energy may be low and the routines are all over the place, that DOING NOTHING, IS DOING SOMETHING. If tiredness or illness slows you down during a special event, listen to your body. It’s letting you know what it needs! ❤️

Everyone has their version of Christmas holiday bliss. Here’s mine…
