After two weeks away I'm back, with a blog all about how to beat those pesky post-holiday blues. Take a look below the line to see where I've been and how you can manage that feeling of "ugh" when you get back from a break!
A couple of weeks ago I wrote a blog post explaining a bit about EMDR. I've been using it for a few months now, so wanted to share from a therapist's perspective how I'm finding it.
Continuing on from last week's blog about grief, this week's blog is about how to support someone who is grieving, and where to access support.
I've been talking a lot about grief recently, so it seemed like a good time to do a blog on this difficult topic - this week we'll talk about what grief often looks like (with apologies to Bastille for the title!)
This week's blog post is about boredom, and how it can actually be good for you. Strange, right? At least if you're bored by this blog, it's not such a bad thing!
As a psychologist I love learning about different types of therapy. I've recently been training in a new (to me) therapy called EMDR, so I thought I'd share a bit of what that looks like with you!
Well, here I am again. The last year has gone so fast that I haven't had chance to slow down and consider what's important to me. I followed absolutely none of my own advice in my last blog post about burnout and, whilst I never actually got to a stage that I would call burnout. I've definitely been struggling to find a balance between what I do for a living and what I enjoy in life.
Enter: the new year. It's a time of reflection, and my friends are always really good at getting me to stop and think about what I'm doing. I realised this year that if I continue to prioritise my work life (which is important, don't get me wrong) then I'm going to completely lose some of the other things that I value about my life, including writing, which is a creative outlet for me as well as something that helps me to focus my thoughts on different topics. So, one of the things I've decided to do is to start blogging again. Hi. I'm back - did you miss me? Don't answer that!
It's been a while. I kept meaning to come back to this blog and update it, but the pandemic has taken a fair bit out of me both personally and professionally and it's been difficult to find the motivation to keep writing. But I'm back, with a blog about burnout. So here we are - the UK lockdown has been going on for what feels like forever, and you've either settled into some sort of uneasy routine or you're perpetually sleepless and aimless at the moment. Here's a blog post on what I hope for the next few months, as we adjust to our "new normal."
