Therapist Tea and Talk Club (Scotland)

Therapist Tea and Talk Club (Scotland)

Are you a psychotherapist, counsellor, psychologist or other mental health therapist in Scotland?

If so, you might be interested in this non-profit community club I am creating for therapists to help us all with costs during the cost of living (and cost of working) crisis.

Read on if interested. Drop me a line if you are even more interested!

This is for the therapists in Scotland. After a recent chat with a fellow therapist, and being aware of the cost of living (and cost of working) crisis many are experiencing, I am launching a community tea and talk group for therapists in Scotland.

Where possible, gatherings with be in-person (Glasgow or Argyll and Bute area although they can be in other places provided they can be accessed via train). There will be some online gatherings too so that others who can't travel to Glasgow or Argyll and Bite can attend.

I have been organiser of a medium scale Scotland-wide networking group previously and dissolved it after 7-8 years. That chapter is over and I am now creating an informal community club for therapists in Scotland.

The community club would offer 3 different low cost gatherings for therapists in Scotland as follows:

* Friends Group/Social Club: meeting for coffee, cake and a chat, make new friends, socialising etc.: £5

* Discussion Group: £10 per group (2 hours, refreshments included)

* Peer Support and Supervision Groups: peer support and supervision £10 per 2-hour group

For now, the main 3 things above will be offered to our little community.

This is non-profit, so any small fee (£5 or £10) is just to (hopefully) cover basic costs (refreshments, electricity etc.).

The first gathering with be in January at our offices in Glasgow city centre and be a FREE Coffee Morning for those who want to join.

This club is aimed at offering offer to help out during the current cost of living crisis. The aim is to establish an informal group who are looking to socialise, make new friends and get involved in some very low cost CPD (discussion groups) and peer support and supervision groups.

If interested, please either inbox your email address or contact me on tttc@mhwell.co.uk or join here: https://form.jotform.com/223133611550039

As I aim to keep it informal and the membership form will take you 30 seconds to complete - basic info only.

It would be great to hear from as many of you as possible.

If you're interested in helping to create this little community club in Scotland, please do get in touch. Please also share with anyone else who might be interested.

I look forward to hearing from you.

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
