Hi! I’m Charlotte. I’m a therapist, sending a warm welcome to you if you’re here reading this post.

During I wanted to say hello and share some thoughts on the importance of talking about how we’re feeling and on the potential we all have to help others by the way we listen.

Every day I listen as people share parts of themselves they find frightening, confusing and that feel ashamed of. I always feel truly honoured to bear witness to such courage and to be trusted with such raw emotion.

I experience how transformational it can be to really see and value another human for the vulnerabilities that we all share but often feel too afraid to talk about.

I believe that listening to understand rather than to judge is one of the most powerful gifts we can give, one that has the potential to connect us in deeply healing ways.

So as a fellow human, I encourage everyone to help create an environment where it feels safe to share by really listening to others and responding from a place of compassion and acceptance when someone gives you the gift of their trust.

All feelings, all ways of being are welcome and valid during these strange times. Here are some reminders as we flow through uncertainty. @ Sheffield

...or twenty... or five-hundred! Feelings don’t fit neatly into a box. We all have many different parts that can be feeling many different things at a time. Not only is that Ok, it’s normal and it’s human. ✨

Instead of judging and responding from a place of fear, let’s try treating ourselves and others with more compassion, curiosity and openness.

Perfectionism; a tiny bit can be good but huge amounts of it can be self-defeating and leave us with the constant feeling of never being good enough.

When we hold ourselves to unrealistic expectations in any area of our lives, like our relationships, our interactions with others, our work or our appearance, we can become plagued with guilt, anxiety, doubt and anger because we never measure up to our unattainable standard.

If we can learn to accept and embrace the imperfect and realise that nobody in the world has it all figured out, we can begin to open up to a more fulfilled, satisfying and authentic life.

The way we feel, our reactions and responses to our environment can tell us everything we need to know about our internal world and lead us in the direction of growth, change and healing.

Stress seems almost unavoidable in today’s world; the constant emails and messages, the places we feel we have to be and all the things we feel we have to do.
A little bit of stress can be helpful - it can help us take action to do whatever it is we need to do, like finish an assignment or organise a holiday. The problem is when stress starts to feel overwhelming and constant and starts to impact our mental and physical health. For example, becoming extremely anxious about not being able to cope and then not being able to sleep or eat properly.
To stop stress taking over, it’s so important to prioritise time in your day that’s just for you. Maybe an hour a day of phone-free time or some time in the day to meditate or exercise. Whatever it is you feel you need, you have the choice to look after your well-being and bring some balance back into your life.

Sometimes, avoiding difficult emotions by trying to change the way you think or trying to think positively, only serves as a sticking plaster over a wound that will only grow more painful over time.
To say to yourself “this is the way I’m feeling right now, and that’s Ok”, means you accept that you’re human. Then, instead of growing frustrated and angry at yourself when a feeling arises, you start to experience your feelings with more compassion, curiosity and less resistance.
