Stress and Anxiety by Osmosis
Human beings are social animals. This means that we need each other and look to others for connection and protection. We naturally gravitate to our own kin and communities, but these days we are connected across diverse lines, which is supposed to be enriching not divisive.
Toxic Positivity Vs Chronic Pessimism
The reality is that life isn’t supposed to be wonderful all the time. That is not only impossible, it’s boring and exhausting. While we hope that adversity, challenges and difficulties are manageable and short lived, we should remind ourselves that problems are a part of life and will come our way now and then. More accurately, there are always things in our life that are imperfect, uncomfortable, undesirable and sometimes even catastrophic.
End of Year Counselling
The most important thing to remember is that this time of year is filled with opportunities to change your perspective, release the things from the previous year that you don’t need anymore, and move into the future stronger, wiser and more content.
Fair Weather Friends and Trauma Fetishisers
Relationships are hard. We are all human and have complex thoughts and feelings. We all have our own subjective lived experiences and making connections with others isn’t something that happens automatically. It is something we learn to do from an early age, and this development can be impacted by intergenerational patterns and sometimes trauma that teaches us unhealthy relationship habits.
The more we know about ourselves, and the people we are in relationship with, the more we hold space for each other’s authenticity, the more we encourage accountability and grace, the stronger boundaries we have and the more we are willing to change, the better our relationships will be.
