Your mood will change. Your goals don’t have to. Stick to the plan. 🤍

Where are you right now…overwhelmed, calm and connected, or completely shut down?

These shifts aren’t you being difficult; they’re your nervous system responding to how safe or overwhelmed you feel. 🤍

You can keep the lid on.
That doesn’t mean it’s still.
Nothing getting said doesn’t mean nothing is happening.

Sometimes talking helps us make sense of what’s going on.
Other times you can feel it clearly, but the words just aren’t there.
That’s why I use talking therapy and Brainspotting together. We can work with what you can say, and with what sits a bit deeper than language.
You don’t have to know where to start. We can find that together. 🤍

We often focus on someone’s behaviour…

But underneath it could be fear, shame, hurt or past experiences.

Understanding the reason behind behaviour doesn’t excuse it, but it can help us change it.

What is your behaviour trying to protect you from? 🤍

PTSD is often linked to a single traumatic event.

CPTSD can develop after repeated or prolonged trauma, especially when there felt like no escape.

Both can cause flashbacks, anxiety and feeling constantly on guard. But CPTSD can also affect how you see yourself, manage emotions and connect with others.

It isn’t “being dramatic.”
It’s what can happen when survival mode becomes your normal. 🤍

What if I can’t cope?
What if it all goes wrong?
What if I’m not ready?

When routines start changing, it’s easy for our minds to go into overdrive.

But not every thought needs an answer, and just because a thought feels real doesn’t mean it is.

Sometimes we just need to pause, take a breath and remind ourselves:

“It’s an anxious thought. I don’t have to believe it.”

Take it one moment at a time. You don’t need to have everything figured out today 🤍
