Our daily lives are often so busy that we don’t have a moment too think of the bigger picture. Or we feel so flattened by events that it is all we can do to get through the day. Counselling does not provide any magic wands, What it can do is offer a safe space in the storm where you can pause and really take stock of what is happening.
At theses difficult times thoughts and feelings often feel chaotic and overwhelming. Taking a step back and talking it through can give a powerful new perspective and can help us untangle what is going on and unlock our own resources.
In addition we start to be very harsh with ourselves and sometimes the world. When we are feeling low and being being harsh with ourselves it can be a real relief for someone to relate to us in a compassionate and patient way.
