I often invite clients to consider RAIN to help support themselves during difficult times. Recognise - Allow - Investigate - Nurture

Thanks to Tara Brach and her sharing of Radical Compassion, the acronym RAIN is an easy-to-remember tool that we can use whenever challenging feelings arise;

A means to offering ourselves much-needed self-compassion using the following four steps:

1. Recognise what is happening;
2. Allow the experience to be there, just as it is;
3. Investigate with interest and care;
4. Recognise what is happening;.

I hope this brings you what you need after the RAIN.

Self-Compassion in action sounds like "What do I need?". As Kristin Neff reminds us, when we truly care for ourselves, we're better able to care for others.

Next time you're feeling overwhelmed or things seem too much, why not try asking yourself, 'What do I need in this moment?'

Take gentle care of yourself.

Unwanted Thoughts:

Considering those unwelcome ‘worst-case scenario’ thoughts that so often visit our heads.

Firstly, a gentle but vital reminder that thoughts are not always FACTS.

Secondly, isn’t it fair to also give airtime to those thoughts that could also be the ‘best-case scenario’, as well as the ‘most likely-case scenario’?

Go gently, Tamsin

LOVE, LOSS AND GRIEF

Similarly to the love you feel, following a loss, your grief is uniquely yours and it may always be with you.

Understanding your grief and learning how to live with your grief means it may start to feel just a little easier within you.

As you adapt to your grief and find a sense of peace, your life continues with your love, loss and grief an evolving part of it.

Go gently with yourself

Emotional validation between partners is vital for a strong relationship.

It involves expressing recognition, understanding and acceptance of the other person’s emotional experience even if you feel differently.

Providing validation of your partner's feelings creates a safe space for them to express themselves without fear of rejection or judgment.

Feelings and emotions are not something to be avoided or suppressed, even though we may have learnt this growing up.

Imagine not having to avoid or suppress uncomfortable feelings because you're no longer afraid to feel them.

Being emotional is not the same as being fragile. Expressing ourselves authentically and how we feel is healing in itself.

What has happened to us?

As your certified integrative relational therapist, I welcome this question from couples. Offering a space to either find the loving and fulfilling relationship you may both desire or to navigate together towards a guilt-free and gentle ending.

I will provide you and your partner with a calm, non-judgmental and fair space to facilitate open communication and work through issues that may have arisen within the relationship.

I aim for you both to understand yourselves better and how you impact each other, so that, ultimately, you can better understand the relationship you want and what it takes to get there.

Regardless of the relational outcome, I will support you both in therapy with an emphasis on emotional integrity and healthy communication.

Free yourself from the suffering of thinking and believing that "something is wrong with me." What you are feeling and struggling with is valid and can be painful.

Instead, let's find a compassionate understanding of our truth and move forth with care and consideration for ourselves.

Go gently with yourself.

Today is International Women's Day.
So this is for all you amazing women out there.
To every one of you who shape our lives and inspire us - thank you.
To those struggling - may this bring you the strength you need.
Strength comes in all forms, but so often, it's those quiet acts of love, care, kindness, and resilience that really matter the most.
Thinking of you all, your friends, your loved ones who are here and who have passed on this special day.

Finding self-compassion can help us build the foundation for the kindness we wish to show the world. s. In fact, they're deeply connected. Self-compassion is the required resource to care for others without becoming depleted or drained.

SELF-WORTH refers to our sense of self and our belief that we are worthy of care, support and compassion.

It can often be something that many people struggle with.

As our sense of self-worth grows we flourish in all aspects of our life.

Sometimes to find our own self-worth we need support to develop our self-love and self-compassion.

With Love Tamsin
