    ❌ This is not about positive thinking. Which too ❌ This is not about positive thinking. Which too often just works like a flimsy plaster attempting to cover up a load of negativity, that isn’t healing. Changing your perspective is more like changing the spot you are standing when looking at a large piece of furniture you need to move. It’s not that you pretend the problem isn’t there, rather you see things in a different way that allows you to handle and resolve the situation in a new way as well. How have you managed things in the past that show you are a powerful person? Can you make a list? Or ask your good friends who you trust to have only your best interests in mind to point out your strengths and abilities you might be overlooking? Have you ever used perspective as a way of helping you navigate negative emotions? #changeyourperspective #mentalhealth #youarepowerful #negativeemotions #perspective

    Victim mentality is extremely common, and we can a Victim mentality is extremely common, and we can all fall into playing the victim every now and again. Don't worry, victim mentality is a learned behaviour, which means you can also unlearn it over time and with some work. #choosetherapy #victimmentality #dontplaythevictim #victimmentalitygetsyounowhere
    True happiness comes when we can be our authentic True happiness comes when we can be our authentic selves. 💜 It's not always easy, especially if we had some difficult experiences in childhood. We tend to limit our sense of self to how significant others have related to us as we are learning our way to be in this world. To start to break down these barriers we must first get to know ourselves and trust we matter. Try these 3 ways, and also consider therapy as a way of deepening your self-understanding and learn the unconscious patterns that you play out without even noticing.

    Many people encourage others to ask for help when Many people encourage others to ask for help when they need it, but fail to ask for help themselves! The feeling of 'but I'll be ok soon' or 'I can do it just..' or 'I will ask if I haven't by X...' Sound familiar? Take a moment just to ask yourself where this comes from, and whether it is actually time to ask for help... #askforhelpwhenyouneedit #itsokaynottobeokay #reachout #gethelp #choosetherapy

    Ever assumed something that made you feel absolute Ever assumed something that made you feel absolutely rubbish, only to learn that it was in no way true? An assumption might be "My partner is acting so odd lately, I think he's cheating on me."....then it turns out he's been planning to propose a few weeks later. Another might be "They haven't text me back in 4 hours, they obviously aren't interested in me anymore!"...then it turns out they left their phone at home by mistake that day. We all make assumptions, but assumptions can lead us down an unhappy road. Use these tips to curb your assumption making and become more open and relaxed. When was the last assumption you made? #assumptions #worryguts #choosetherapy #fearbased #factvsfiction
    Core beliefs are assumptions about ourselves, othe Core beliefs are assumptions about ourselves, others, and the world that we mistake for fact. Unless we take the time to dig out and question our negative core beliefs they control every life decision we make. The good news about core beliefs is that, with work and commitment, they are changeable! Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is one of the best therapies for working on your core beliefs. It focuses on looking at how your beliefs and thoughts affect your behaviour and moods, and how you can change these cycles for good. #cbttherapy #corebeliefsystem #changeyourmindset #changeyourmindsetchangeyourlife #choosetherapy
