How to work with Trauma survivors
We looked at how double empathy can affect the ability to help survivors, especially young people and we provided some pointers.
Discussing trauma in therapy
How do you avoid skimming the surface of every traumatic event in therapy? I feel scattered (or possibly overwhelmed). At first, I’m not sure where to start, and then I’m all over the place. How do you “start wherever you want” and get anywhere? Hum, I don’t believe that’s a bad place to start. Imagine […]
Handling “unexpected” panic attacks?
Panic attacks: I always expect one, yet, they are always unexpected! Here's some tips.
Dealing with shadow work, healing trauma, and the emotional lash outs
Balance between physical and non-physical realities supply body, mind, heart, and soul with the nurture and nourishment I need to heal trauma, and occasionally even thrive.
ND Review: Meltdowns? Or reading someone the riot act?
Meltdown? it is an expression of assertiveness, self-respect, and self-determination. It is how we say you may not respect me 🚫, but I do!

Anger – quick daily fix with music
I am going to share a music self-therapy 🎶 quickfix tip for the day-to-day angry feeling we may get when someone jumps the queue, or is rude, or insensitive 😡

Do you live in Waltham Forest or Essex? Ask your Community Leaders, MPs, and Councillors:
Why are NELFT and other Essex Health Trusts being investigated by the Health Ombudsman? How was NELFT Mental Health services implicated in the deaths and disappearances of more than 2,000 people? Are local Health Services safe for vulnerable people? Are local people affected by Baroness Lampard’s Inquiry being adequately supported? Is everyone able to present evidence to the investigation? What is the local government doing to ensure that this negligence and these abuses of power are prevented in the future?Not only this, ask them why there is so much crime in our area at the moment … There is so much angst locally … people are walking the streets sad and fearful …
We have always been diverse as a community, and that wasn’t causing divisions in the past. What has changed? Did the pandemic cause this? Or are our community leaders complacent in their “seats of power”? I am not a politician and I am not an activist, but I want answers to these questions.
If you see me walking in our area, say hi! AG is my name and this is how to pronounce it 🔊. Help me find out what is happening to our neighbourhood, we are owed answers!.
