Exactly one year ago we were in the midst of our wedding celebrations after I had walked down the aisle to this beautiful song by one of our all time favourite prog metal bands , and what a special, unique day it was. As you can see, it was just perfect. Love every moment and after 12 years together I finally got to call you my husband. Happy 1st wedding anniversary love you forever 🧡🧡🧡

Reflecting on this weekend, I am forever grateful to and the gorgeous for such a wonderful opportunity and experience. This festival holds a special place in my heart, as a huge prog lover and LONG time and fan, this felt like fate! I spoke to SO many people about mental health and guess what? THAT content is coming right your way! Once again, thanks RADAR, I truly hope to be back next year 💜🩷🩵

Took me a long time to understand that my social anxiety was heavily related to avoidance of rejection and that was related to ADHD. It's a real journey and I'm not even kidding when I say, RSD is quite possibly the HARDEST part of ADHD for me. Have you experienced this?

How planning can maintain anxiety and even make it WORSE! ⚠️

We often start planning to try and make the unpredictable more predictable. This lessens our anxiety in the short term, however, this only heightens our awareness and alertness to unpredictability so we end up looking out for it even more! Not only that but we also don't get the opportunity to explore and navigate the unpredictable, which would help increase your tolerance of it, and your confidence in your ability to cope with it.

This just accelerates the anxiety around unpredictability and the cycle begins again!

Which colour is your colour?! 👀
One of my personal favourite (and many of my client's favourite) relaxation techniques - colour breathing. This technique is really good for those of us who are visual learners and creative. I talk about how breathing can physically help us with emotional regulation but this also occupies your mind too! I often say it's a triple whammy; addressing your mind, body and soul.
Save it for a time you may need it or send to someone who you think may find it helpful ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

This is very true. Sometimes, in order to grow we must step outside of our comfort zone.

It doesn't have to be a big step. And you don't have to do it alone 💛

I believe in you 🥰

4 TRAUMA RESPONSES. Read more ⬇️
When a person is faced with danger they typically respond in one of 4 ways. Moreover if a person is consistently faced with threat, even psychological threat, they may end up responding so much that their trauma response becomes like their default, their baseline.
Here is the fourth of the 4...FAWN. Sometimes, if we are in a volatile or abusive situation, appeasing others is how we may stay safe or keep the peace. However, we can end up losing ourselves in the process and prioritising others over ourselves which can lead to suppression or repression. If we know this is our trauma response, we can learn to work with it in healthy ways.
Of course this is a very brief and simplified explanation. Simply being aware of it can help us stop and consider where it is helpful, and where it hinders us 💛

Here is the third of the 4...FREEZE. If you needed to hide from danger, this would be super helpful. The numbness is designed to prevent you feeling difficult feelings all the time. As we know though, it can be helpful in the long term to feel our way through and pay more attention to our big feelings. If we know this is our trauma response, we can learn to work with it in healthy ways.
Of course this is a very brief and simplified explanation. Simply being aware of it can help us stop and consider where it is helpful, and where it hinders us 💛

Here is the second of the 4...FLIGHT. In some situations, running away may be the only way to keep safe. Sometimes though, facing up to things can be more helpful. If we know this is our trauma response, we can learn to work with it in healthy ways.

Were you that quiet people pleasing child? 🤔

When we think of troubled kids, especially for professionals, we tend to think of those who express big emotions like anger or sadness. That's what we are taught. What they don't tell you is that whilst yes, we should absolutely be paying close attention to those kids, there are a whole bunch of other kids who need our attention. Those who may be devoid of feeling altogether. Or feel things but have learnt to suppress that through fear or constant invalidation/ridicule. Or have learnt to suppress it to save face for their parents who may be struggling or for whom they care for.

Let's watch out for those kids just as much, they are way less likely to seek the help they deserve.
