An Invitation to Take Up Space

  AN INVITATION TO TAKE UP SPACE Many of our clients worry that they are a 'burden', 'too much' or 'take up too much space'. It's an experience we hear a lot and an experience we work through with many clients who encounter this.   These feelings can take on many guises: social anxiety; body image; eating disorders and more.   Imagine living life feeling you are 'too much', a 'burden' or that you 'take up too much space'? Imagine how difficult life must be; imagine the impact and consequences of feeling like that and seeing yourself in that way?   The little poem below comes from someone who writes about 'taking up space' and being proud of doing so. The motivational and inspirational poem below is by Annabelle Blythe and is called 'An Invitation to Take Up Space'. We hope you like it as much as we do.   ** AN INVITATION TO TAKE UP SPACE ** By Annabelle Blythe   I take up space For all the children Who have been made t

Monday Motivation: You're Human

  Monday Motivation This week's #MondayMotivation posters acts as a reminder that we are all human after all and self-care, rest, relaxation and stepping off the rollercoaster of life is really important, now and then.    If we don't build regular, consistent breaks, recovery periods, stability zones and time-out into our daily, weekly, monthly, and even yearly schedules, we burn out and become more susceptible to anxiety, stress, depression, panic and more.   It's as simple as that.   Your challenge for this week is to think about how you can incorporate consisent and regular rest, relaxation and recovery periods into your life - no matter how small or big these may be.   If you need some support and assistance with this, feel free to get in touch about the therapy, counselling and coaching services we offer that can help you with these goals, and many others. Please see our contact details below.   All the best,   Talking EDs: Eating Disorder Support Service Scotland a

Do we feel ready for change and progress?   Change is a big deal and important when seeking help, support, psychotherapy or counselling. Sometime we really want things to change, but don't know how this can be possible. We may also feel that we are faced with barriers, obstacles or limitations.    Do you want to change but feel there are obstacles? How can we overcome these? What support can we get to help with this? What are the reasons for wanting to change? How can we bring about change? Someone asked us this week what 'recovery' was. Recovery involves change and making progress, but it looks different to everyone. It's a tricky question to answer because what 'recovery' means to one person might mean something else to another. And, of course, what recov
