Healing From Trauma This week I have run wellbeing sessions to help empower us to recover from the past few years. I have relayed how the brain can become hyper vigilant and we need tools to calm and soothe. As we heal and endure the cost of living crisis we need to unpack the grief and stress and trauma we may have experienced. Just a reminder to those reading please go gently with yourself flood your days with self compassion surround yourself with nurturing people who have your back- sending love to all souls struggling #mentalhealth #trauma #training #wellbeing

Today put on your rose tinted spectacles and record three things you are grateful for. Just this simple practice is scientifically proven to improve your wellbeing.Gratitude is an antidote to negative emotions, a neutraliser of envy, hostility, worry, and irritation. It is savouring; it is not taking things for granted; it is present-oriented. The more you practice gratitude, the more you strengthen the brain’s neural circuits for gratitude, making it easier to focus on feelings of gratitude. When you start to focus on the things you already have in your life that are good, your brain becomes better at discovering similar things. For example, if you consciously notice how beautiful the stars in the night sky are, you will be more likely to notice the stars and feel gratitude again. Even though the stars are always there, the gratitude focus is like a signal to your brain to notice them. So start gratitude journaling and observe your wellbeing build #mentalhealth

So much of my mental distress stemmed from lack of self esteem,feeling unworthy . Please know you are enough, worthy of boundaries self love. Those who truly care will never question those, those who don’t, do not matter. Sending love to all souls struggling #MentalHealthMonth

However difficult your situation is right now please know that it will pass and good things can still happen even if it is just learning to find empathy compassion for others who are going through the same. Practice reframing and look for the growth we can find in the hardest times. Sending love to all souls struggling #MentalHealth #compassion
