How People are Responding to Covid-19
How people are responding to COVID-19
One thing I’ve noticed this week as I’ve made the shift to phone consult is that there is one recommendation of how to respond globally to this crisis and yet each and every person is responding to this differently in their own individual way.
One client asked me ‘How are you coping with all the paranoia?’ ...

Six things I learned from a year sober |
So you're a people pleaser? |
One year ago, in 2019 I did dry January. Now I was not a problem drinker at that point but the truth is I have been in the past. In my teens I routinely and addictively used various substances, pills and powders, and when the shame of that became unbearable I switched to the socially acceptable substance of alcohol. At the time this felt like an improvement because I was mainstream – I was in ‘normal’ society now. I believed that now I could be accepted.

I always know when I have a people pleaser in my office by one main trait: they’ll tell me they have so much to do for everyone in their life, and they feel immense pressure from others. However, when we begin to investigate this pressure we’ll discover that it doesn’t exist at all. We realise the pressure is self-made.

Two things that make my job easier
Over the years, I’ve been asked many times how I handle being a therapist and if I find it hard not to take my work home.
The truth is, I don’t take my clients problems home. There are two main reasons for this. Both of which are beautiful lessons we can learn to make our lives lighter. The first is that it’s not really about them, and the second is that the problem is temporary. |

Removing Obstacles to reach your best self
Tips for Self Help
|
Remember your life is not a coincidence it is a reflection of you.
Be aware that the only thing holding you back from change or achievement is you and the limitations you put on yourself. You don't have to be perfect before you start. |
Remember that the only person who is in charge of your thoughts is you. Monitoring your thoughts and gradually changing them is down to you because no one else can do that.
The great thing is that you are now in charge of your future. |
However your life seems to be right now it is important to understand it is no one's fault and there is no one to blame, that includes you as much as anyone else. There is no 'right' or 'wrong' only learning about you.
