The Power of Talk Therapy: Navigating Life's Challenges with a Therapists

Life is a journey filled with a myriad of experiences, emotions, and challenges. At times, these challenges can become overwhelming, leaving us feeling lost, anxious, or even stuck. In such moments, seeking support is not a sign of weakness but a courageous step towards self-discovery and healing. One powerful avenue for support is talk therapy, a therapeutic approach that provides a safe space for individuals to explore their thoughts, feelings, and concerns. In this article, we will delve into the transformative potential of talk therapy and how it can be a valuable tool for resolving the concerns that life presents.

Teeth as mighty as Oaks

Once a tooth becomes compromised by gum recession, decay or a fracture, the likelihood is that you’ll need treatment from a dentist. Whilst dentistry is an essential branch of medicine that most of us require from time to time, what if we could minimise the need to outsource oral health, just as we try to with all our other bodily systems?

Grief: a small word for big feelings

I've had a couple of bereavements in my family recently. They've both felt different, both impacting me in ways expected and not, and it feels like a real process of coming to terms with and accepting that those people will no longer be part of our lives, which will take some time. It got me thinking about some other types of grief I have either personally experienced or witnessed with clients, friends and family. It is accepted that if a person we care for dies, that there will be a period of mourning for that person, and that is what we generally think of when we think about grief and bereavement. But loss of any kind can bring a sense of heartache, despair and anguish. I'm not talking about when you lose your keys or can't find your phone charger, but those times when life changes in a way that you weren't prepared for.

Magic Microdosing

When it comes, depression haunts our inner halls like a parasitic phantom, absorbing light and energy, dimming joy from the world and devouring hope. For some, these hauntings begin in childhood. For others, later in life. Whatever the case, the healing journey can be revelatory.

What Exactly Is Trauma?

'Trauma' seems to be a bit of a buzzword at the minute, we hear it all the time, in the news, on social media, from celebrities to members of the royal family to everyday people using it colloquially to describe every day events. I remember telling a friend I felt traumatised that I'd broken a toenail - of course I wasn't actually traumatised, more like mildly irritated as I wanted to wear open toed sandals and the toenail was wonky and looked a bit odd, but I am prone to a bit of exaggeration so here we are with my toenail trauma and some thoughts about what it actually means to be traumatised.

This means that the wearer will benefit from healing both mentally and spiritually. it is a protective stone that guards against negativity, excellent for fraught relationships at work or at home. for health issues, Amethyst and fluorite are two of many gemstones that have proven themselves to be effective both physically and emotionally. The gift of giving continues with Gemstones as the powerful energies within continue to be effective.

Lactation Consultant Service

There are other health professionals who can support you with breastfeeding your baby, both in the hospital and at home. These include midwives and health visitors. Whilst they are able to assist you with feeding support you may not receive continuity of carer and this sometimes leads to conflicting or inconsistent advice. Midwives and Health Visitors are often challenged by time constraints and heavy workloads.

Tongue Tie

For a baby to be able to feed properly they need to have a full range of movement in their tongue.

Flip- Flops and Your Feet

Many experts believe they are one of the most dangerous shoes you can wear! The lack of support causes numerous problems with heels and the arches of the foot. Drier skin, cracked heels scrunching toes ( to hang onto the shoe!) is very common. They can actually alter the way we walk by making us take shorter strides which all contributes to hip, leg, knee and back pain.

Chamomile, Eucalyptus, Lavender, Lemongrass, Peppermint and Tea Tree, diluted in appropriate carrier oils can be applied directly to the bite or sting to help give relief

Mental Health in a time of Covid

The last two years have left none of us unscathed. We’ve experienced stress, anxiety and even outright fear on a daily basis.
