She stood up, ‘right that’s it’ she said, ‘I’m gonna say no!’ The following week, she came back for her next session. I asked her about her progress in […]

Are you ok?

Hayley — Sun, 15 Nov 2020 14:26:55 +0000

‘are you okay?’ is a strange question. I think most of us have automatic responses – ‘yeah I’m fine’. It falls out of our mouths without a thought, the words themselves carry no meaning. I think it’s a common experience we can relate to. Who has been honest in answering and said ‘no, I’m actually […]

Other people’s words

Other people's words are not law, right or important. It is us who give power to these people's words. You can choose what you believe about yourself.

Have you ever suffered pain and not let anyone know? As you have that discussion, the pain throbs in your body silently. The pain is so bad, you feel nauseous and are thinking about holding it together and focusing on the task you are doing. Your body is screaming at you to sit down but […]

The true impact of feeling emotionally and mentally unsafe isn’t always what you think. When you’re life revolved around emotional and mental battles it affects your mind, body, relationships, family, self esteem, confidence, ability to live instead of existing.

Mentally ‘tough’?

Hayley — Tue, 12 Sep 2017 18:24:26 +0000
