My clients know that I don’t really like the word Trigger. Because of my age, it makes me think of singing cowboy Roy Rogers and his horse Trigger and I find it difficult not to giggle. I also think it carries a sense of powerlessness which isn’t always helpful. But really being triggered is no laughing matter. Carolyn Spring puts it beautifully here and side steps the powerlessness so often associated with this word. Even if you are triggered, you still have choices in the story you tell yourself about it.

We seem to live in a challenging and troubled World right now. Almost all of that is completely beyond my control. It is always my choice what I Affirm, though, and the spaces I choose to inhabit.

This was another Incredible gift from our talented neighbour. Celtic designs represent the connections between everything living. The wholeness of interconnection and systems is essential to Life. TA theory recognises this in the principles of Physis, or life force, and Homonomy or interconnectedness

Everything passes. Everybody needs some springtime, even if it’s only 10 minutes. Just be aware it’s there, welcome and honour the sunlight flooding your life if only for a moment.

Over twenty years in counselling and psychotherapy, I have noticed that some days in every year bring up difficult feelings, like grief and anxiety. People need extra support at these times. Mothers Day really is one of the most difficult.

There are many reasons.
Childless not by choice
Difficult relationship with mum
Difficult relationship with daughter or son
Lost a child, or a pregnancy
Adoption issues - abandonment, who is my mum?
Cancer and chonic illness - will I lose you?

These are just a few. There are as many issues as there are people. The flowers and smiles can cover pain. Your feelings are important. Do something lovely for yourself today, you matter.
