Therapy confessions: how confronting years of hurt changed my life

I always knew therapy would be one of my greatest investments. But, it’s scary, isn’t it? Being vulnerable, opening yourself up completely to someone you’ve never met before. Talking about things that make you sob and break your heart. 

First day of therapy and a rainbow appeared!

Social anxiety: why I no longer fear life

It’s Thursday 8th October 2020 and today is different. 

I’m unemployed and I think – although can’t be totally sure – it’s the 3rd lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic. 

For several days now, I’ve been in bed desperately wanting to avoid everyone I know. Every phone call is rejected, every message is left unread, and every attempt from my boyfriend to cheer me up just makes me irritable. 

I’m depressed and anxious.

It’s time to break the stigma around therapy

Let’s be clear – we all have issues. 

Whether you’re suffering with generational trauma, financial burdens, addictions, break-ups, family uproar, sexual abuse, you name it. We’re all dealing with something.

We’re human.
