13.01.2022 We need to normalise going to therapy like we would do going to the GP. By the time some couples often get to therapy, one person has resolved to break up. If there are communication challenges or triggers then working through these can bring you closer.... https://www.instagram.com/p/CNX-SP3n-Yc/

12.01.2022 Some good tips for people who tend to anxious attachment

09.01.2022 In our society we don’t always see conflict modelled well, just look at how politicians from opposing parties interact... So, if we saw our parents shut down, brood, get aggressive, fight to win or if conflict is escalated to violence then we may be terrified of conflict. Similarly if we disagreed or had conflict with our parents and any of the above occurred then we may bring this into our most intimate relationships. For example, a daughter who has had an aggressive father... may be terrified of bringing up issues with her partner for fear of retaliation. While her partner may have some aggressive traits when challenged, the resistance is likely historical. I remember when one of my intimate relationships ended. The man I was with carried a lot of resentment and fear of speaking up with me. His mother was critical, judgemental, defensive and aggressive. With the relationship ending, he started to be more candid with me when he felt hurt or when he saw things he disagreed with. I remember feeling relieved, and confused, by his view of events and could clear up my intentions or repair when I needed to. We ended that relationship kindly and with care for one another and showing each other where we needed to do more work. Relationships are my passion area so if you need more support then reach out

08.01.2022 Happy International Women’s Day. This day is important to me and sacred time to celebrate how far we’ve come in the West and the extensive progress we still need to make for the benefit of women and society across the world. A thought leader that I’m inspired by at the moment talks about ‘Good Girl’ syndrome and the barriers we as women face to step into our power. As someone who had swallowed this ideology, I have been consciously looking at the places where I stay quiet, f...reeze, act ‘acceptably’ and do not shine my light too brightly for fear of competition and retaliation. Enjoy! https://fb.watch/45d03J5H6Z/
