I don't know about you, but where did January go?

This has made us reflect on how time passing is experienced by different people.

Perhaps there's an obvious reason life has slowed down or the slow pace is something you're only just recognising and appreciating its impact on how you have been feeling.

Being mindful of the pace we are operating at and the impact it has on our mental health is really important.

If the pace isn't right for you, fast or slow, it won't feel good and may need some adjusting to positively impact your mental health.

If you need support to explore this,

Movember brings great awareness to men's health. Worrying about your health, whether it's something physical or its a mental health concern, isn't going to make you feel better.

Speaking to a therapist about your concerns will relieve some of the tension, provide an unbiased sounding board, and advocate for your self care.

Reach out today by using the link in the bio to book your free introductory chat with one of the Try Talking team.

Feeling the dark mornings and nights?

Finding yourself less motivated to stick to your evening activities or harder to get up and out in the morning?

We all go through it at this time of year, but if it is feeling harder than usual. It's not just the blues brought on by the clocks changing and your recognising that the year has been tough, then perhaps coming to talk to a therapist may help you lighten the load and get through the next few months.

With exam results looming, we thought it was worth reflecting on what it feels like when things don't work out.

But it's not only exam results. Sometimes, it feels like things just never go our way.

Accepting what has happened can be really difficult, but this can be a process that can be supported by a therapist.

There are always going to be changes in life, big or small, voluntary or involuntary, so understanding why we don't like change is really important.

Today, we thought it would be helpful to compare two theories of change and help to expose the difficult bits.

Even planned change can have its pitfalls, how many people have got into a really good routine of going to the gym to change their health and fitness and then fallen out of that routine, relapsed into old ways, loads of people.....

How many people know someone isn't good for them, and the relationship needs to end? They break it off but then go back, a relapse in their intention to change....

And then there's the unplanned changes, the loss of a job, not getting those exam results, a medical diagnosis or the death of a loved one, shock and devastation is a typical response, withdrawing and becoming depressed can be experienced. The process of accepting the change is a long one that isn't always linear.

So why try to cope with this alone?
Reach out to people who you can trust, who will relate to your struggle, and seek professional support.

MENTAL HEALTH AWARENSS WEEK IS HERE!

The theme of the Mental Health Foundation's week is community.

In the therapy room, we often talk to clients about who they have around them and what they are a part of. Without community, life can feel isolating and lonely. So building our network and community is essential for our sense of belonging and purpose, which boosts our sense of worth and self-esteem.

So who do you have around you?
What communities are you a part of?

And if you are grateful for a community you are involved in and how that makes you feel, tell them.

We can start this by saying we really appreciate being part of the health and wellbeing communities we contribute to at and . We love being part of something bigger than what we can offer, bringing community members a holistic approach to their health and wellbeing. Thank you!

Now it's your turn, tell us about your community appreciation....

Have you ever thought that the reason you may need to come to therapy is actually a physical injury, diagnosis, or long-term condition?

We're not going to work on the treatment plan for the diagnosis or the rehab after an injury, but we are available to :

> Understand your circumstance
> Empathise with your sense of fear, frustration, isolation, and overwhelm, to name a few feelings
> To support you through the process of change
> To offer perspective and reflection
> To prepare you for your next chapter

This month, we're going to offer some insight into how medical diagnosis or injury can be experienced, how therapy can help and share that it's not something you need to deal with alone.

Please take this opportunity to share or comment if this resinates.

This relates to more than those in healthcare roles, but using this as an example given the survey data available, there is a high number of NHS employees suffering from burnout.

Are we paying attention to the signs and taking action to seek professional help?

It's what you would advise someone else to do if they came to you with such significant symptoms.

Get in touch if this resinates and you haven't yet taken action.
