Journal Writing, You and Therapy

 

Journal-Writing

Living a hectic lifestyle and one that is filled with a lot of stress and distress can make it easy to lose track of those little things are so important: not only in relationship and in work, but in keeping healthy and looking after our emotional well-being.
 
Each stop on the road to achieving a balanced life, healthy lifestyle and increased sense of wellbeing is equally important.
 
A journal can be your companion to change. Studies have shown that writing things down aids the identification and achievement of goals, increases your motivation and aids positivity. There is nothing more satisfying than reaching a milestone and rewarding you for it: it may be a simple tick in the box, a lie in, a massage or a holiday.
 
Define it, write it down and tick it off. Use your journal to reflect on you goals, the steps you have taken, the achievements you have made and reflect your success and victories in life....no matter how small or trivial they may seem. Every step is a success!
 
Your goals, your rewards!
 
Some of our psychotherapy and counselling clients even journal as part of their therapy work.
Journalling is great, however, if you need some extra mental health support, get in touch with us to find our how skilled, professional and understanding therapists and counsellors can support you. We can provide in-person appointments in Glasgow city centre and online appointments anywhere in the UK (we have online therapists in various parts of Scotland and England).
 
Our therapists and counsellors can be your companion to change too. Our contact details are in the comments below.
 
Best wishes,
 
Alexandra

Focus on..... Binge Eating Disorder

  Focus on..... Binge Eating Disorder (BED)   Binge Eating Disorder or BED is often characterised by someone consuming very large amounts of food over short period of time, even if they are not hungry. Although, we often see another form of binge eating that is characterised by an almost constant 'grazing' of food, which may amount to a large volume of food over time. BED is almost 2x as common in women than in men, although gender differences are less pronounced than in Anorexia Nervosa and Bulimia Nervosa. BED has been found is all cultures and ethnicities. BED was formally classified in 2014 as distinct Eating Disorder and now has formal classification in DSM-5. Keeping in mind that everyone experiencing BED is different and BED may present differently (we are all different and unique, after all!), some of the signs and symptoms of BED include: * Feeling out-of-control when eating during a binge episode. * Often hiding food (before it has been eaten or hiding empty packets a
