Dismissive avoidant attachment isn’t about not caring…
it’s about learning that closeness didn’t feel safe.

So instead, the nervous system adapts:
👉 “I’ll rely on myself”
👉 “I don’t need anyone”
👉 “Distance keeps me safe”

And it works… until it doesn’t.

Because underneath the independence is often:
– fear of vulnerability
– discomfort with emotional closeness
– a learned belief that needs won’t be met

So the system protects by:
✖️ pulling away
✖️ shutting down
✖️ minimising connection
✖️ keeping people at a distance

Not because they don’t feel…
but because feeling was never safe.

Healing isn’t about becoming someone different.
It’s about gently learning that:

✨ connection can be safe
✨ vulnerability isn’t weakness
✨ you don’t have to do everything alone

If this resonates, you’re not broken
you adapted.

And what was learned… can be unlearned 💛

My lovely clients brought these in for Easter 🌷

They were far too nice to leave in the therapy room over the holidays, so I’ve brought them home and they’re such a beautiful little addition to Easter and spring.

Also, I’ve learned something new… the two pence in the vase to keep the tulips standing up I had no idea!

Grateful for the thought, the kindness, and the little lessons along the way. Thank you so much 🤍

Not everything we feel belongs to the person in front of us.

Sometimes it’s old pain…
old patterns…
old wounds that haven’t been given the space to heal.

Emotional accountability is saying:
✨ “This is mine to work through.”

Not blaming.
Not projecting.
Not reacting from hurt.

Just awareness.
Just responsibility.
Just growth.

Because healing isn’t about being perfect…
it’s about recognising what we carry
and choosing not to pass it on. relationshiphealing traumainformed mentalhealthmatters growthmindset therapytools innerhealing relationships selfreflection boundaries healingnotperfection

🐣 Happy Easter from Innerworth Counselling 🌿

Yesterday in session, we slowed things down and got creative 🎨
Sometimes healing doesn’t come through words… it comes through colour, play, and simply being present.

Artwork can help express what feels too hard to say out loud.
It gives shape to emotions, creates distance from overwhelming feelings, and allows us to explore experiences safely.
Talking through the artwork can make things feel less intense, helping clients process at their own pace without pressure.

It also creates a moment to pause.
To sit in the quiet…
To reflect on what’s going on within you, and around you in the world.

In a busy, noisy life, these small moments of stillness can be powerful.
They help you reconnect with yourself, notice what you’re feeling, and begin to make sense of it.

Therapy isn’t always talking sometimes it looks like this 💛

I hope you all had a gentle Easter.
Whatever the day looked like for you, I hope you found a moment of kindness and reflection for yourself.

You don’t “choose the wrong people”…
you repeat what feels familiar.

The way you attach, the way you stay,
the way you overlook certain behaviours —
it all has roots.

Not because there’s something wrong with you,
but because your nervous system learned what love looked like early on.

So you might:
• Cling to someone emotionally unavailable
• Ignore red flags
• Try harder to be chosen
• Stay longer than you should

Not consciously… but habitually.

✨ Awareness is where it changes.

When you start to notice the pattern,
you begin to create a different ending.

This isn’t about blame.
It’s about understanding yourself on a deeper level
and finally choosing something healthier.

01/04/2026

You might be feeling overwhelmed…
stuck in your thoughts…
or just not quite yourself lately.

And on the outside, everything can look “fine”
but inside, it feels heavy.

That’s where therapy comes in.

At Innerworth Counselling, I offer a space where you can slow things down, make sense of what you’re feeling, and start to understand yourself on a deeper level.

Whether that’s:
• Online sessions from the comfort of your home
• In-person therapy
• Or walk and talk sessions if sitting still feels too much

There’s no “right way” to do therapy just your way.

If you’ve been thinking about starting… this might be your sign.

We all have different parts of us…

🧠 The rational mind that thinks logically, analyses, and tries to make sense of everything.
💭 The emotional mind that feels deeply, reacts, and carries our fears, stress, and sadness.

But healing doesn’t happen in either extreme.

It happens in the middle the wise mind. ✨

This is where you begin to:
• Pause instead of react
• Notice instead of avoid
• Respond instead of overwhelm

Mindfulness isn’t about clearing your mind…
It’s about learning to sit with yourself your thoughts, your feelings, your body without judgement.

Observe.
Describe.
Participate.

And gently come back to yourself.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or pulled between your thoughts and emotions… therapy can help you find that balance again.

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback.
I’m truly pleased you felt safe, supported, and able to navigate such a difficult time. It’s a privilege to be part of that process and to witness your strength and resilience.

Sometimes your mind feels loud. Overwhelming. Like everything is happening all at once.

This is where we come back to the body… back to the present… back to what is real.

👁 What can you see right now?
👂 What can you hear?
👃 What can you smell?
👅 What can you taste?
✋ What can you feel?

Grounding through your senses isn’t about escaping your feelings… it’s about gently anchoring yourself when things feel too much.

You don’t have to fix everything in this moment.
You just need to come back to it.

This is what emotional regulation can look like in real life simple, human, and powerful.

Not all trauma shows up as a memory… sometimes it shows up as a reaction.

You might not always know why you feel the way you do but your body remembers.

A sound.
A smell.
A person.
A place.

And suddenly… your nervous system is on high alert.

This isn’t you being “too sensitive.”
This is your mind trying to protect you from something it once experienced.

✨ Triggers are not weaknesses they’re signals.
✨ Signals that something needs understanding, not avoidance.

In therapy, we don’t just “manage” triggers…
We gently explore them, make sense of them, and help you feel safe again.

You don’t have to keep reacting to the past like it’s still happening.
