This month’s blog continues to explore the theme of slowing down in therapy. This time we explore the concept of relational depth - what happens between you and your therapist and where meeting together lands inside us….

In this blog post I explore a lesser known offshoot of CBT called Schema Therapy. This therapy works with our internal world or system of “parts” to help us solve some of the ways we sabotage ourselves without knowing why we do it.

In this blog post I explore the nature of unwanted intrusive thoughts, what they are, why they cause us so much trouble and what we can do about them.

In this blog post I explore the best ways to stop ourselves from spiralling when events or people trigger a trauma-based stress response. The Five Anchors come from Resmaa Menakem’s (highly recommended) book “My Grandmother’s Hands: Racialised Trauma and the Pathway to Mending Our Hearts and Bodies" and are themselves based on the work of Dr David Schnarch.
