Last week felt like a turning point. Study is challenging in the right ways, and I am starting to see how theory links with real connection. I have been stretched, tired, learning new skills, questioning assumptions and gaining confidence. Movement helped too. I joined a gym and did my first workout yesterday. I plan to try yoga and pilates next. Small wins added up and reminded me I am moving forward.

I want a list of metaphors for use in #therapy, specifically, very niche---rooted in science metaphors---that only make sense to those who work in that field.

Self-Care or Self-Comfort? And Why Does the Difference Matter?

Everyone has heard about self-care but not a lot of people really know what it means. This leads most of us to confuse it with self-comfort which ends up doing more harm than good. So here we will tell you the difference and how to avoid unintentional self-comfort: https://lspc.org.uk/2024/10/31/self-care-or-self-comfort-and-why-does-the-difference-matter/

It’s been a while since I last posted, so here’s a quick update. I’ve changed universities because my next subject wasn’t offered for several months. I’m now studying a Master of Mental Health Practice and a Master of Counselling, which is an excellent fit. I’ll be able to register with professional counselling bodies upon graduation. I start Monday, and both degrees together will take about three years to complete.

I’ve also begun volunteering with several online peer support groups, which has been meaningful and rewarding.

Health-wise, I recently met with a diabetes educator and started using the Freestyle Libre. It’s impressively accessible with its companion app, which is fantastic for independence. Unfortunately, it isn’t subsidised in Australia for people with type 2 diabetes. At $104 a fortnight, it’s unaffordable long term, so I’m exploring whether I can get it funded through the NDIS once my two-week trial ends.

On a brighter note, I’ve joined a gym program and am absolutely loving the equipment and the sense of progress. It feels empowering to see physical health and mental wellbeing come together so clearly.
