How are you since lockdown lifted?
I’m not sure whether I have noticed many differences, there is an underlying sense and feeling of freedom but visually, everything is still looking the same. Is this a time of celebration or should we be wary?
Looking after yourself is very important, therapy continues to be a space for me personally to remain centered in a world that feels slightly chaotic. Ensuring we stay healthy in our minds is important.
Looking after yourself is very important, therapy continues to be a space for me personally to remain centred in a world that feels slightly chaotic. Every week I have personal 1-1 therapy, where we discuss the week; the impacts, the highs and the lows, helping to normalise my mental health and giving my head a routine.
With a long summer ahead where everything feels the same yet craving holidays, space and some air to breathe, the word ‘Boundaries’ keeps coming out to play. It started to make me think more and more, have you set firm boundaries between your home life and work-life? How do you even set boundaries if you are working under a Hybrid Working model bought on by the pandemic? And, how many of you feel trapped by work, isolated at home, or wondering whether it was just you who felt the enormity of being and feeling stuck in the same work or home space? How do we help your mind stop, think, breathe and reflect on its current state in a safe environment.
If you are still looking for advice on mental wellbeing during this time of uncertainty, you can read my past blogs on feelings and self-care.
Do you need help in creating your boundaries? Maybe 6 counselling sessions over the summer months may help you, guide you or support you. ‘YOU’ being the important word today.
