Trauma Therapy Session 23: OCD. Happy to be taking back the power.
So yes at times I have or in fact do demonstrate behaviours which go a little beyond the standard.

Trauma Therapy Session 21 Part 1: The art of conversation and surviving when it’s lost.
I wish that the treatment of PTSD was easy and the rest of your life just opened up and accepted you lovingly when you choose to face a traumatic past. I have been struggling for a while with the conversation around my parents. Other family members often drop them into conversion. Either a passing comment,…

Trauma Therapy Session 18: Post day 8. Alone but accepting.
It’s a strange thing to try and describe. For years I denied the abuse I lived through. I pushed it aside, minimised it, fort my way forward never standing still long enough for any of it to settle. Some how as I did that I felt closer to those around me. Sure at times when…

Walking on sunshine
I had to jump on really quickly today and let you all know how great I am feeling. Therapy is so productive. I have found a new level of openness with the hubby. I am settled into some new amazing hobbies (Yoga and Archery) I am not yet smashing it in a new job but…

Resilience. Its about struggling, failing, falling down…then getting back up.
Resilience is something many in the modern professional world aspire to. An office buzzword, sometimes thrown around with little understanding of the meaning. I have heard this word positioned by many a leader as a skill to withstand prolonged periods of uncertainty, a way to hold fast in a storm, an idea you can carry…

Six reasons you don’t want help. Challenge yourself to do something different today.
I could list so many people I know right now who are unhappy. For some of them it’s a subtle feeling…I don’t remember the last time I felt truly happy. For others they have confided in me they have struggled so much they have considered taking their own lives. What do many of these people…

Trauma Therapy Session 5: post session day 2
Wow not really sure what to write. That was definitely a productive session. I am learning these sessions never really go exactly as I expect but that is ok, in fact maybe even good. We started the session reflecting on homework. The homework I was set was to continue to mirror back negative emotion when…
