Leonie Cowl Psychotherapy & Counselling

💕🌼🌸🌺💕

A warm welcome from my new therapy room in Tunbridge Wells High Street - sessions currently available Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

A powerful, heartbreaking and warming story of loss and healing. Our grief is individual & unique yet it is through connection and being heard by others that we are able too find our way in the confusion and sadness 🤝💕

We all need to know (and genuinely feel) that we are loved and accepted for WHO we are, not what we do 🌱💕
“...attachment isn’t the enemy of maturity but insecure relationships will be”

Childhood - and indeed adulthood - is all about discovery, curiosity and opportunity.
It is our job to check in with ourselves when we rush to limit or bind these experiences in others - is it protection for them or fear in us? Maybe we are repeating our own past experiences as we believed they were demonstrating love and care.
We all have choice and we all have possibilities - and we can certainly all believe in ourselves and others 💫

'You make me feel' is an expression we use & hear so often. This invites a responsibility for someone else's feelings. Taking back ownership and redirecting our feelings of responsibility towards ourselves opens us to true intimacy and connection ✨💞🌈

I think most of us will relate to this demonstration at some point in our lives; this is a great way to help us understand the difference in everyday processing for ASD conditions AND highly anxious/traumatised brain functioning.
Time, clarity and being gentle are key to connection & communication for everyone 👍🏼

One very clever little girl and very loving father. A clear lesson on how much we can learn from empowering our children with the freedom to express their emotions in their own way regardless of how we may be perceived by society. Beautiful.
