24.01.2022 There are a few words that I absolutely HATE! They probably aren't the words that you are thinking of right now either... If I was Queen for a day, I would remove the word "Normal" from our vocabulary. It is the most ridiculous word. I genuinely despise it. Tell me, what even is 'normal'? Define it! I know I can't. Because what is normal to me, may not be normal to you. What is normal to you, may not be normal to someone else.... I have clients who will come to me and say, "Kristy, I just can't stop crying after the abuse/trauma/death etc, is that normal?" Ummm what? So we have to worry about whether we are managing our trauma or grief "normally" now? No wonder so many of us are exhausted and suffering with cognitive overload! Is it because we are worried about judgement? Are we worried that we will lose connection if we behave differently to our friendship network or colleagues? Are we so desperate to 'fit in' that we are willing to change ourselves to do that? When my clients ask me whether their behaviour is normal, my general response sounds something like this - "you are having an acceptable response to the circumstances you are experiencing". Because if that is your response, that is ok. So, firstly, there is not such thing as "normal" so get rid of it. Be you. Do you. Simple. The people who matter will accept you and the people who don't accept you don't matter! Practice self-compassion and empathy towards the self, be kind to yourself and others, be unique and amazing, spread love.

14.01.2022 The profession of Coaching is built on a central belief - that the quality of our lives is not built upon the events in our lives, but rather, on the meaning we give to these events. Think of me as the lighthouse in the photo below. As a coach, I won't rescue you, I will help you find your way. If you would like more information on how I can help you, please message me and we can organise an introduction session. ...

08.01.2022 Boundaries Oooof. Not the subject you were hoping to read about on your Wednesday! What are boundaries? Where do they come from? Why do we need them? ... Boundaries are something that indicates limits - so what I am willing to put up with in life physically, sexually, emotionally, spiritually and intellectually. They guide our actions and behaviours, they keep us safe and they keep others safe. Boundaries form naturally, as we observe and interact with the world and the people in our world. We learn them from our parents, care givers, teachers, siblings etc. So what happens if those people I learned from had unhealthy boundaries or they lacked bounaries all together? Boundaries may be crushed or damaged by physical, emotional or sexual abuse. They can be distorted where parents have poor boundaries or if they ignore a child's boundary (eg. Making them hug someone when the child does not want to. They are not being rude, they are asserting their physical boundary!). Thankfully, we can implement boundaries at any moment in our life. Once we recognise and acknowledge that we are unhappy with a particular behaviour or thought we can set up our boundaries around that behaviour. It takes work, it often takes a lot of "NOs", assertive communication, practice, practice and more practice. Boundaries are such an important part of life. This week, check in with your boundaries. What needs work, what works well? There is so much support online and in person with a therapist, coach, counsellor if you need some assistance with this. Brené Brown says it perfectly! "Daring to set boundaries is about having the courage to love ourselves even when we risk disappointing others"

07.01.2022 Found this on a friends page and stole it! I love this. Therapy can have such a stigma on it. But why? Because asking for help is weak? Because I should be able to handle my issues myself? Because I'm too broken? Because I'm not worthy? Because I don't deserve to feel good? ... You are worth helping! You are worth supporting! You deserve to feel amazing! You deserve to move through the discomfort! It takes a strong person to sit back and say, "you know what, I'm not sure i can do this by myself. I think I need help!". There is so much support available to us. Counsellors, Coaches, Psychologists, Social Workers, Healers, Hypnotherapists and many more. Reach out. Find the support that aligns with you. First step is acknowledging that we need support.
