Before you start therapy.
All week I answered what starting looks like. Now one honest question.
What is the one thing that has stopped you from starting?
Time, cost, fear, not knowing where to begin.
Tell me below, or send me a message.

Antes de começares terapia.
A semana toda respondi como é começar. Agora uma pergunta honesta.
Qual é a única coisa que te tem impedido de começar?
Tempo, dinheiro, medo, não saber por onde começar.
Diz-me abaixo, ou envia-me mensagem.

Before you start therapy.
One more thing that makes therapy work for you.
You can speak English all day. Your feelings still live in your first language.
Talking about your inner world in a second language is exhausting. It changes what you can say.
In session, you choose. English, Portuguese, or a mix.
You should not have to translate your pain.

Antes de começares terapia.
Mais uma coisa que faz a terapia resultar para ti.
Podes falar inglês o dia todo. As tuas emoções ainda vivem na tua primeira língua.
Falar do teu mundo interior numa segunda língua cansa. Muda o que consegues dizer.
Na sessão escolhes tu. Português, inglês, ou uma mistura.
Não devias ter de traduzir a tua dor.

Before you start therapy.
The fear is usually the unknown. So let me show you.
What actually happens in a first session:

We talk about what brings you here
We go at your pace, nothing forced
We see if we are a good fit
No couch. No pressure. Just a conversation.
You are never asked to relive more than you choose.

Antes de começares terapia.
O medo costuma ser o desconhecido. Então deixa-me mostrar-te.
O que acontece mesmo numa primeira sessão:

Falamos do que te traz aqui
Vamos ao teu ritmo, nada forçado
Vemos se combinamos
Sem divã. Sem pressão. Só uma conversa.
Nunca te é pedido reviver mais do que escolheres.

Before you start therapy. Part 1 of 4.
You do not need to be in crisis to start therapy.
Therapy is not only for breaking points.
People come to feel:

Less stuck
More like themselves
Clearer about what comes next
Starting early is not weakness. It is care.
This week I show what starting really looks like. Follow along.

Não precisas de estar em crise para começar terapia.
A terapia não é só para os pontos de rutura.
As pessoas vêm para se sentir:

Menos presas
Mais elas próprias
Mais claras sobre o próximo passo
Começar cedo não é fraqueza. É cuidado.
Esta semana mostro como é começar. Acompanha.

Settling in the Algarve.
All week we talked about the weight of moving abroad, and what helps.
Now your turn.
When you moved to a new country, what helped you feel at home again?
A place, a habit, a person, a small ritual.
Share it below. Someone reading needs your answer today.

Settling in the Algarve.
The last post named the weight. This one explains it.
You built the life. You ticked the boxes. So why does something still feel off?
My article looks at the hidden weight of living far from home, and what helps.

You moved abroad. So why does something still feel off?
The honeymoon fades. Then the real adjustment begins.
Signs it is weighing on you:

You feel low, even in a beautiful place
Simple tasks in a new language drain you
You miss home more than expected
This is not failure. It is the weight of living far from home.
This week I share what helps. Follow along. New article on my site.

Yesterday I wrote that some feelings arrive as an image long before they arrive as words.

This is one of mine (Logging).

I am a psychologist and an artist. I have met that gap from both sides. Some things I could only reach by making them.

That is the ground art therapy works on.
