Being in therapy can be a daunting process. It's hard to tell your most difficult thoughts to someone every other week, and to work on things that make your life slightly better by small degrees whilst fighting an internal battle as to whether it's worth it. This week I wanted to focus on what it's like on the other side of the fence, with the things that your psychologist probably wants you to know.

We all experience stress from time to time, as I've already discussed on this blog.  But sometimes, that stress can turn into something more. Today, I'm going to look at burnout - what is it, what are the signs of it, and what can you do about it.

As with last week's post, everything is going to be behind the cut because I'm aware it could be very upsetting for some people. If you do read this post, and it's salient for you, make sure you have a way of talking care of yourself. With that said, building on the theme of last week's post, this post is going to be about how to leave an abusive relationship.

This week I want to talk about abusive behaviour in relationships. Those of you who have been in abusive relationships and who are recovering might find discussion of this quite difficult, or triggering to your trauma symptoms, so everything else is going to be behind the "read more" break.
