Measuring 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 recently 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. We offer a range of psychotherapy, counselling and dietitian services online (UK-wide) and in person (Glasgow city centre). 
 
All of our therapists are experienced, supportive, friendly and encouraging. They tailor appointments to you and go at your pace. You are in the driving seat. 
 
Our contact details are below. Feel free to egt in touch if you want more information, have any questions or would like to book an initial appointment. 
 
Best wishes,

Focus on.... Eating Disorder Not Otherwise Specified (or EDNOS)

Focus on.... EDNOS/OSFED Eating Disorder Not Otherwise Specified (or EDNOS) is now increasingly known as OSFED (Other Specified Feeding and Eating Disorder) accounts for the highest percentage of eating disorders. EDNOS/OSFED is just as serious and debilitating as any other form of eating disorder and needs to be taken more seriously. Unfortunately, however, in our experience, this is often not the case and many are not given appropriate treatment or support (whether from family, friends, professionals and others) and the condition can deteriorte and even change into another form of eating disorder. WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT EDNOS/OSFED? Then read on..... EDNOS/OSFED is the most commonly diagnosed eating disorder in clinical settings. It has often been described as ‘partial syndrome’; however, in our opinion, referring to an eating disorder as 'partial' presents several problems, namely that the client or patient is denied support.

This self-care or self-help exercise involves making a 'Safe Box' or 'Comfort Box'. Read about how to do this below. Make yourself a 'Safe Box' or a 'Comfort Kit'. This can be very useful during times of distress, overwhelm or when we feel under threat in some way (e.g. anxious, confusing feelings etc.) What you put in your box/kit is up to you; however it's purpose is to provide you with a 'go to...
