I'll take a 💚 , thank you.

And you?

Self-care can feel selfish. It's not.

Which heart do you need today? For me, it’s 🩵 and maybe a bit of 🤍, too.

What would Puffle do?

Yesterday Rachel enjoyed exploring with staff at Abertay University, to mark day. Her teaching assistants, Puffle and Fragile Goose enjoyed the trip to Dundee.

Puffle represents resilience thinking. They place responsibliltiy where it realistically belongs, if anywhere. They view difficulties as temporary, specific and solvab,e.

Fragile Goose represents less resilent thinking: taking things personally, catastrophising, always blaming self or always blaming others. She views difficulties as permanent, pervasive and unsolvable.

Rachel will also be exploring some of these cognitive behavioural concepts with our Counselling Skills Certificate evening class students on Tuesday.

Starting a conversation can feel daunting, but the result can be life-enhancing. Keeping the chat casual and warm, using a method that suits you and your companion, is a great way to start. What method works for you? We like:

👣 activity + casual chat 📱'Hi' via WhatsApp/Text etc
🫖🍰 invitation to drinks and snacks

Whatever happens in the moment, it's bound to make your friend, neighbour, or family member feel valued, as you've just shown them you were thinking about them, or happy to take a moment to be with them.

Taking the time to talk can make someone's day.

Do you want to become a counsellor or psychotherapist?

The first step is to become more self-aware, to know yourself.

Complete the generalist Certificate in Counselling Skills, validated by COSCA (Counselling & Psychotherapy in Scotland) . Then choose a specialist Diploma or Masters.

Every August we offer the Certificate in Counselling Skills as a Tuesday evening class.

This year we will also offer a daytime Wednesday class, during school hours.

Medication can take the edge off your mental health symptoms.

Counselling and therapy can help you tackle the root causes, which are usually not entirely chemical.

Counselling and medication can work well in combination or separately.

Don't judge someone for using medication to ease their symptoms. Hannah Gadsby makes this point amusingly, but don't watch if swearing offends you.

We'd like to pedantically point out that epilepsy is not a mental health condition although, like many physical conditions it affects mental wellbeing.

Listen to why people tried counselling and what it was like. We all need it at some points in our lives

Rowan offers counselling or therapy, through employee counselling schemes and on a self-financed basis. We do not offer lipstick.

Choose a counsellor from a reputable organisation or a self-employed one registered with a professional body such as British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, COSCA (Counselling & Psychotherapy in Scotland) , UKCP.
