As an Occupational Therapist of 17 years, this is not news to me, but makes me ask the question should I provide an open art/craft group to support my clients’ recovery?
I have myself been gardening (despite not knowing anything about gardening) this week as one way to help myself.
This brings to mind a wonderful client of mine who took on an allotment whilst having therapy for depression. What was once barren and neglected is now thriving and growing. His allotment remains the perfect metaphor for his journey to wellness.

Let’s be honest about depression.
Is it a step too far? Do people want to hear and see the reality... does this make you uncomfortable?
What questions would you like to ask but are afraid to?

Hypervigilance is commonly discussed in the therapy room. Clients with anxiety may describe the symptoms but not realise the extent their mind has gone to to stay on ‘red alert’!
Poor sleep, feeling on edge, restlessness, feeling overwhelmed, feelings of dread and fear, persistent worry/anxiety are some of the symptoms. These symptoms can understandably lead to exhaustion.
If you’re tired of just getting by, please know I have many skills including EMDR, hypnotherapy and mindfulness to help you resolve these feelings.

Still on a self-care mission. Thank you Susi IMassage for a beautiful massage and Mike Bines Personal Training Services for a wonderful master class in yoga.
Not bounced back as I expected to, but I have really appreciated all the support received. Please know there is support available if you’re willing to say how you feel.
Lots of honest conversations and plenty of tea with family and friends this week- I want to keep the open conversation going. This will pass, that I’m s...ure.

Some days are ‘off’ days. There doesn’t need to be a reason, but it will pass. Today is one of those days!!

Would it really be so terrifying to send the original text?

Open and honest.

Love this. For anyone who has had emotional based OldPain2Go you will recognise this!
Patterns and old ways of thinking and behaving can be changed and updated. I keep it simple.

So easy to judge or take personally, but just consider if your friend or colleague is struggling and doing the best they can...
