Can you relate to this? What do you wish people understood about you? Often one's own perception clouds what someone else is trying to say and their experience. How would you like people to show up for you?

"A man's sense of self is defined through his ability to achieve results... a woman's sense of self is defined through her feelings and the quality of her relationships... many times a woman just wants to share her feelings... a husband, thinking he is helping, will offer solutions to her problems..." - Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus by John Gray 1992

This often comes up in couples counselling, where the wife wants to share feelings or discuss something bothering her, and her husband will either want to give her a solution or retreat as soon as he hears there is going to be a discussion. This highlights how men and women are different and choose to tend to their specific needs. Misunderstandings happen due to the miscommunication. Not because your partner does not care, but because the approach is coming from their perspectives.

This is where clarifications need to happen and needs need to be voiced so that they in turn, can be met correctly.

So often we put limitations on ourselves in how to respond or what we should feel. The power of "and" is empowering.

At Donna Lizelle Counselling and Mediation, we unpack how to give oneself permission to be both good and bad at something. That in your journey, you will be putting in the work, and still have bad days.

Counselling is a space where one has to learn, and relearn while you process your way through whatever storms you are facing.

We live life in a constant state of being on the go. Yes, time is money, but is that living? Instead, all it is doing is creating an increase in anxiety and being overwhelmed. We need to take 5 minutes every day and just PAUSE! We need to make the time to reflect where we are physically, emotionally, and spiritually. We need to stop and just be present in the moment. Something as simple as blowing bubbles, helps reduce anxiety and gets one to focus on their breathing.

Something that comes up quite frequently in sessions, is how does one know when to persevere and when to walk away. This can be applied to any aspect in life. Firstly, you need to decide what is the situation bringing up, i.e. is it supportive or discouraging, is there growth or stagnation, is it affecting one's peace positively or negatively, will this help or hinder my future goals.

Every situation is going to teach us something, that we can hopefully use as a stepping stone towards our goals. We constantly learn and adapt. If you are faced with the reality that it is not in fact helping you, perhaps then you need to ask yourself if in fact this is the right path to be on. Just because we are adults, does not mean we have all the answers. We too are still growing and learning, and this is where it is nice to bounce ideas around with someone neutral.

When one is trying so hard, we often forget to check in with ourselves.
Inner working is crucial to restore and repair ourselves. This is work that never stops, which is why one goes from strength to strength.

At Donna Lizelle Counselling and Mediation, I facilitate your growth journey, whether it be for individual growth, relationships, or life coaching.

I am here to help you unlock the answers you are looking for.
