Progress and Change

 
Change and Progress


'The price of doing the same old thing is far higher than the price of change''.

Do we really want to change our thoughts, behaviours, actions, feelings, habits, way of life? 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 recovery means to us can change over time too as things change and we progress and move forward.
 
Making progress and change are like the circles in the poster below. Recovery, change and progress look like all of the circles in the poster below.
 
You go at your pace and determine change, progress and 'recovery' in terms of where you are just now. It's got to be realistic and achievable after all. 
 
If you are looking for some support with change, feel free to get in touch. Our contact details are in the comments below.
 
Best wishes,

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
