With the main day that some of you may dread being over just wanted to reiterate that “It’s your life” this song is very very true, lyrics spot on, your life, you control it and you are paramount to anything.

💚🎄This time of year can provoke a lot of different emotions with people. One of the most extreme ones is panic attacks. These are not to be taken likely and can feel like you are having a heart attack and dying. The overwhelming sensation can trigger a catalogue of mental health symptoms❤️

I would agree! Winter can be tough on mental health, but leaning into small joys—like a walk, a chat, or even just a moment of mindfulness—can make all the difference.

So many people I work with (including myself) have PTSD or Complex PTSD.

When I first got diagnosed many years ago I thought that PTSD was something that only affected ex service men and women I could not of been further from the truth it can affect anybody. It’s complex and varied.

💚The best things in life are free💚

As we are entering the winter months, cold dark nights life can seem a little isolated. This can really affect your mental health and emotions. With this in mind it’s so important to work with what we have around us and utilise it.

💚 Always, ALWAYS, put yourself first 💚

💚 It’s ok to say no ❤️ saying no respectively and you don’t have to do it with an explanation or lie is absolutely fine and you are taking care of yourself, filling your own cup before filling others 💚

💚Do you suffer with anxiety, PTSD, agoraphobia, depression?❤️PRACTICE
💚Do you make a habit of putting yourself or finding yourself in situations you really don’t want to be in? 🛑STOP
💚Do you spend time and energy with people you really don’t want to be spending time with? STOP 🛑

Wow love this one ❤️ remember that if you’re feeling a little what I like to call “discombobulated” atm there is a lot of change going on 💚❤️ be kind to yourself, validate, self care, self love and start manifesting ❤️💚https://www.facebook.com/share/p/19cKsVtZep/?#aquarius #energyhealing

For years I tried to hide the fact that I suffered really badly with mental illness cause of the stigma and the way people looked at you, treated you 🙄 wide berth covers to mind 🤷🏻‍♀️

Happy Monday 😊❤️

So whilst doing my work this morning which I love cause I work for myself I was watching people miserably going into their work places clearly not happy with the job they are going to. I thought to myself I’m so grateful and happy I get to do what I do.💚

💚PART TWO PTSD 💚
As previously said there are so many different types of PTSD I personally have complex and secondary trauma, and complex it is, hard to explain, hard to understand but I’ve become really good at managing it as I’ve learnt the right coping mechanisms 💚

Let’s talk PTSD 💚 wow where to start! There are so many different levels of PTSD. This in my opinion one of the worst kinds is that which affects our ex service men and women, veterans those who have put their lives on the line for our countries and for our lives. www.facebook.com/share/v/19d8...

💚 Childhood Trauma-part two💚

💚Coping and support for children my favourite personality to work with children are, drama and art therapy and sports therapy. I find I get really positive results from these with children I work with 💚

💚Childhood Trauma Part One 💚
When children complain to parents, friends, family about things that have hurt them they simply need and want validation, to be heard and acknowledged. Minimising or erasing their experiences simply pushes them away further and impacts their mental health 💚
