    Bereavement is difficult whatever the circumstance Bereavement is difficult whatever the circumstances. But losing someone to suicide can make grief even more complicated. People you thought were reliable might let you down on this front. Colleagues you liked might avoid you despite best intentions, not knowing what to say. And you yourself might even have negative views on it. In the case of some religions that take archaic views on things, you might face disapproval right when you should be receiving compassion. Grief counselling is always recommended, but particularly when it comes to loss via suicide. If you don’t have anyone you feel comfortable talking to, or everyone you usually talk too is too invested in things? A professional grief counsellor not only will completely understand, they will not have judgements or expectations. It’s a weekly window you can say anything in safety. #Suicideawarenessday #griefcounselling #griefandloss #losstosuicide #bereavement
    When you know yourself, you know your core values When you know yourself, you know your core values and you can live a life that supports them. 💜 Therapy is one tool that offers this. In the therapy room, you will discover parts of you that you didn't know existed or that you squished down for other people. Therapy can lead the way to self-empowerment and to a happier more fulfilling life. #selfempowerment #selfeducation #selfdevelopment #therapyhelps

    Most would agree with this quote, but not many wou Most would agree with this quote, but not many would own up to acting it out. But what if we are acting on subconscious patterns we aren't even aware of? This is the case for many of us. CBT CAN HELP When you have a negative thought or feeling, or act out a negative behaviour, it often creates a pattern of dysfunctional behaviour which keeps your mood going in a kind of vicious cycle or ‘loop’. These cycles are called ‘maintaining processes’ by therapists. Trying to identify these cycles of dysfunctional behaviour is a key part of your first couple of sessions of CBT, where you and your cognitive therapist will do a behavioural analysis and together recognise your patterns so you can then intercept and change them. Do you have questions about CBT? Or not sure you are in a loop of dysfunctional behaviour and want to ask a question?

    The main premise of psychodynamic psychotherapy is The main premise of psychodynamic psychotherapy is that our present-day behaviour is a reflection of our past experiences and relationships. By examining your behaviour, and diving into your unconscious to see how these behaviours developed from childhood, you can begin to understand and change the conflicts and emotional issues in your life. You can work with a purely psychodynamic psychotherapist, or an integrative therapist who uses psychodynamic principles. If you’d prefer to try a short-term therapy, you might want to consider cognitive analytic therapy (CAT), a more recent hybrid that draws from psychodynamic and cognitive therapies. Use your first session to ask the therapist any question you might have about the way they work, what experience they have, and if they think psychodynamic psychotherapy is the right fit for your particular issues. Search on harleytherapy.com for a therapist who uses psychodynamic therapy today! #findatherapist #psychodynamictherapy #psychotherapy #therapyhelps #harleytherapy

    The goal of psychodynamic therapy is not to dwell The goal of psychodynamic therapy is not to dwell on the past but to explore how prior relationships and attachments may provide insight into current psychological problems. By understanding these links, you can make better sense of your situation and find new ways of perceiving the world, yourself and your relationships. Psychodynamic therapy provides a confidential and safe space to explore your feelings and experiences. Your feelings, thoughts, and even dreams can all be thought about to help you to gain a deeper understanding of your internal world and the unconscious processes behind how you relate to yourself and others. The aim of this is so that past experiences and repressed emotions interfere less with your ability to lead a fulfilling life in the here and now. Unlike short-term cognitive-based therapies, the focus is on why you behave the way you do (as opposed to how to learn new techniques), and there is no homework. While psychodynamic therapy tends to be long-term, time-limited psychodynamic psychotherapy is increasingly popular. Often psychodynamic therapy in a community or charity setting will be limited to between six weeks and one year. #psychodynamicpsychotherapy #psychodynamic #therapyhelps #therapyworks #selfdevelopment
