What'S Your Boggart

We all have cravings and things that get us out of bed excited for life.
Sometimes in stressful situations we can forget about those passions. Instead we find ourselves relying on things that leave us worse for wear.
Can you remember the natural high you got as a child? Where did it come from? What are your passions?
... It's heartwarming when clients can drop their addictions for this childhood joy. How? By finding ways to bring it into their present day lives

There are many reasons we argue. Not all disagreements are bad or unwanted. However, there are ways to express ourselves that can be unproductive.
Expressing contempt, criticism and defensiveness are common ways to do this. Similarly, stonewalling (or not being emotionally present) can be just as destructive to the communication.
Pay attention to your reactions and choice of words with other people. This will help you to help you have a productive dialogue.

Do you know your #love language?
It's so easy for us to fall into patterns of #miscommunication. Especially as #emotions have a language of communication that is rarely taught.
Clients can struggle to see how the people in their life show their love, care and concern. This is when I direct them to discover their love languages (it's free - Google it!)
... This often becomes an eye opening experience that allows them to build greater #appreciation for the people in their life.

We usually think addictions are to do with alcohol or drugs, and lately technology. The word is filled with negativity.
Whilst these are important to recognise and counter, they aren't the only addictions we could have.
Constantly putting yourself last, smiling even when you're sad, or bearing all the responsibilities of another person are all forms of addiction.
... In contrast, finding joy in everything, mediation and reconciliation can all be positive addictions if we start to crave them...
Can you think of an addiction you have, or would like? Can we reclaim the word in a positive way?

Creative art therapy is based on metaphors.
For example, a tale like this can be used to explore anxiety and depression.
Do we recognise when we might be feeding these emotions within ourselves?
... Inspiration and self reflection can occur anywhere - it's up to us how we engage in it.

It's easy to feel like everything should go to a schedule you designed, with the results you envisioned.
In the moments this doesn't seem to happen - keep looking for the positives, the benefits, and be open to whatever comes your way.

Anxiety has risen in recent years. Children are more prone to feeling anxiety, even if they don't know how to articulate it. It is often defined as: A: "a feeling of worry, nervousness, or unease about something with an uncertain outcome." B: "a strong desire or concern to do something or for something to happen." Reading the definitions, they seem like emotions that everyone would face at one time or another. [ 724 more words ] https://whatsyourboggart.co.uk/…/anxiet y-is-it-just-unnece…/

There are two remaining types of therapeutic relationship I'm going to explore. First i'll explore: 'person to person' (or the personal) and finally the 'transpersonal' (or spiritual). Person to Person Relationship Now if every relationship is between two people, what does this mean? Well often when someone comes into therapy they see their therapist as an all-knowing entity (even though no therapist is).
