What to do when sitting with a feeling 😇

Notice and identify: Take a moment to identify what you are feeling. Try to label the emotion, whether it's sadness, anger, anxiety, or something else.

Be curious, not judgmental: Approach the feeling with a sense of curiosity. Ask nonjudgmental questions like, "What is this trying to tell me?" or "What do I need right now?".

Locate it in your body: Pay attention to where you feel the emotion in your physical body. Noticing these sensations can help you connect with the feeling without overthinking it.

Allow it to be: Don't try to fight, fix, or push the feeling away. Let yourself simply experience it, understanding that emotions are temporary and will pass.

Be gentle and kind: Practice self-compassion. Remind yourself that it's okay to feel this way, and you don't have to be happy all the time.

Ground yourself: If the feeling is overwhelming, use grounding techniques to stay present. This can include taking deep breaths, pushing your feet into the floor, or naming things you can see. 

Why it's important

It helps you grow: Avoiding feelings can be problematic, but facing them allows you to learn from them and make changes that align with your authentic self.

It increases resilience: Regularly practicing this helps you become more resilient and less reactive to uncomfortable emotions over time.

It provides insight: By observing emotions without immediate reaction, you can gain a deeper understanding of what is happening within you.

It promotes healing: Learning to relate to painful emotions with more care and self-compassion can be a powerful step toward healing.

💫 One Year of Lisa Jane Counselling & Psychotherapy 💫

Today marks one year since I saw my first client in private practice, and what a journey it has been.

This year has been filled with learning, growth, and deep gratitude. I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside clients as they explore, heal, and reconnect with themselves, which is something I never take for granted. They are amazing!

To those who have trusted me with their stories, thank you. To those who have supported me behind the scenes (friends, family, peers) your encouragement means the world. Special thanks to and for having me as part of their amazing teams.

Here’s to continuing this work with the same compassion, curiosity, and belief in the power of self-awareness and growth that started it all. 🌿

Thank you for being part of this journey with me. 💚

If you’ve ever felt like you’re “doing therapy wrong,” you’re not alone. It’s not about doing it perfectly, it’s about showing up, even when it’s hard.

📍 Therapy isn’t linear. It’s human.

Some days, a walk is what clears my head and helps me feel grounded again. Fresh air, movement, and a little space to just be. 💬🌱
