Safe Space

Summer is a special time in therapy when clients often 'graduate' from their program, go on holidays, and then go on with the learnt skills on their own. I am grateful for your wonderful reviews and kind words and so...so happy you no longer need me. It is an indicator of a job well done from my side.

of emotions reflects on your mental health. Many people choose to ignore or repress their feelings regarding a job they hate or a partner that makes them unhappy for as long as possible or even pretend their childhood trauma never happened. It could be painful to face facts or it is a bad timing for a change but your well-being should always come first. The more you suppress your true emotions and collect negative emotions, the more likely it is for depression or anxiety to take place. The more we repress and the longer we wait, the more intense your anxiety or depression will get. Have you ever experienced a heavy chest and a feeling of hopelessness out of the blue? Have you ran out to a conference room to cry but don’t know why you reacted in such a way? Did your heart start racing which gave you a sudden feeling of panic? This is probably your body signalling you that you have to listen to your unconscious needs rather than push forward the conscious thoughts about money, your career, what your parents want or society expects you to choose. Nothing you feel that you ignore gets unnoticed by your body and at some point it will come out as somatic symptoms, anxiety or .You are your best friend and you know best what is good for you.
