okay folks, #TherapyThursdays is beyond me this week, as it's festive season for me. would someone else like to make a post?

Alright, I'm a little out of ideas for this week's #TherapyThursdays โ˜˜๏ธ So let's pull up some chairs and just chat.

โ˜˜๏ธ What's on your mind, my friend? What's weighing on your soul?

โ˜˜๏ธ Have you had any fears, doubts, uncertainties?

โ˜˜๏ธ How have you been trying to deal or manage these, and how well do you think it's working for you? How would you like to go forward from here?

Remember you are doing the best you can, in the circumstances and resources (material, emotional, physical) you have ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿป

๐ŸŽ‹ PROMPT ๐ŸŽ‹

This week, if you see anything like this that also speaks to you - on social media, in a book, out in the wild - would you share it too, in the comments here or on your own feed, and tag #TherapyThursdays ?

What catches your eye is different from what catches mine, and it will help expand what's available in the tag for people to reflect on 

Welcome back to #TherapyThursdays ๐ŸŽ‹

This week, IG sent me lots of posts about rest, healing, and self-worth. Here are screenshots of some that spoke to me.

I'd love to hear what spoke to you - what's a new revelation, what did you need to hear today? How does it make you feel now?

I encourage you to write out your fave or put it somewhere prominent so you can take it with you this week ๐ŸŽ‹

Welcome back to another informal check-in 

One thing we thought this space might be good for is peer help. Today, let's exchange resources!

๐Ÿค” is there something you'd like to get started on in your mental health journey, but don't know how? Maybe someone could share some advice!

๐Ÿค” share one resource someone else told you about that changed your life?

๐Ÿค” checklist if you are feeling crummy: have you had water, food, and stretched recently?

Welcome to this week's informal check-in session! Anyone can drop in to chat with anyone, just remember to be kind ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿป

Today, let's talk about stress.

๐Ÿ’ซ What are the ways you let go of every day stress when you can put it down?

๐Ÿ’ซ Are there things that stress you out so badly that you can't manage it? How does it make you feel? How can we help?

๐Ÿ’ซ Are you holding tension anywhere in your body right now? Take a deep breath, and try to relax it bit by bit - even a little helps.

Thanks for creating this space @yesterdaychild ๐Ÿ’œ

A mixture of feels for me at the moment. I have great projects and fun plans coming up, which is hopeful and inspiring. But our family is also dealing with providing palliative care for my grandmother. It's a very loving time, but also undeniably sad.

I'm leaving 2023 friend drama behind. Too exhausting. Boundaries for the win!

2023 was about coming back to creative projects/adventures. I'm taking that focus into 2024.

๐ŸŽŠ Is there a feeling you are struggling with?

๐ŸŽŠ What are you doing or hoping to do to spend a little time alone?

๐ŸŽŠ What are you grateful for?

Remember - you are enough โค๏ธ
