5 reasons why you should see a therapist

Happy Friday everyone! Today we thought we would explain 5 reasons why you should see a therapist 🧠
1. Friends and Family can’t be your only outlet 👨‍👩‍👧
Friends and family are great sources of support however sometimes they can be a little quick to want to “fix” your problems rather than to listen. Friends and family can also be judgemental, even if it’s not intentional!
2. Self care 💙
Just as you take care of your physical health, it’s equally important to take care of your mental health. Prioritising mental health promoted healthy self-care practices.
3. Realise alternative perspectives 🤯
When you experience difficult situations in your life, it’s often hard to see alternative solutions. Therapy can widen your perspective and provide distance between you and your problem, helping to approach and eventually overcome the stressor impacting your wellbeing.
4. Finding meaning 🗣
It’s natural to want to understand the reason difficult things happen to you. Therapy is a process that can help you discover the lesson or silver lining your problem has presented to you.
5. Discover new coping strategies 😄
Therapy can help you discover new coping strategies to manage current and future problems. Learning and implementing new coping strategies gives you confidence to believe you are in control of managing your problems.
We hope this has been helpful, if you think you would benefit from therapy, please get in touch with our team today by direct message! 💙🧠💙

3 peaks, under 24hrs

What a massive effort from the lads! 3 peaks, under 24hrs and they made it with a minute to spare with a little help from an RAF pilot Mike, who ran all the way to the finish line with them! Thank you to everyone for supporting them in this challenge! 👏 👏 👏 👏 #breakthestigma
