I love the analogy of the backpack… we all carry a bag and through experiences it gets filled up! Some great things are in our bags but at times we carry things that are heavy, confusing and sometimes we can carry things that aren’t even ours!
Therapy is a great place to unpack the bag one thing at a time with someone who can listen and support you! Maybe throw out some of the things you don’t need anymore that have been weighing you down 🎒
Maybe have a think about what you carry around ❤️

Hello 👋🏻
It’s been a while but don’t worry I’ve been busy!!

I have moved into part time private practice a couple evenings in Lisburn and Ballyclare… as well as working full time for a fab organisation called as a Children’s and Young People’s Advocate.

I hope to share some more things and have made some fab resources that I hope can help 💕

Just one girl with 10 obsessions 😊

Kintsugi is the Japanese art of putting broken pottery pieces back together with gold…
Built on the idea that in embracing flaws and imperfections, you can create an even stronger, more beautiful piece of art. Every break is unique and instead of repairing an item like new or throwing it out, the 400-year-old technique actually highlights the “scars” as a part of the design…
Using this as a metaphor for healing ourselves teaches us an important lesson: Sometimes in the process of repairing things that have broken, we actually create something more unique, beautiful and resilient ⭐️

How are you feeling today?

Checking in on yourself is so important and of course
Checking in on your friends too… notice the word FINE is not on the scale!

Walking… do you get outside enough? Sometimes it can take a lot of effort to get out and walk! But it’s proven that even 10 minutes can help boost your mood… Why?

Walking helps boost your mood because it increases blood flow and blood circulation to the brain and body. It has a positive influence on your hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, which is your central nervous response system. This is good because the HPA axis is responsible for your stress response. When you exercise by walking, you calm your nerves, which can make you feel less stressed…

So get outside and get walking 🌻 even 10 minutes! And remember to stop and take in your surroundings 🌈

No matter how big or small what you are going through, you are important and deserve support!
