Leaving doesn’t have to mean giving up on your dreams. Sometimes fastest way to your destination isn’t the most direct path. Instead of doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result, take the time you need to refocus, readjust, and realign.

Makes complete sense because when we have been hurt, we have a program in our brain that makes us believe things that is not true. We have a deep fear that we will be hurt. In fact with this program we believe in fact that we will indeed be hurt. So we show behaviors that are not healthy. Which is sad and we need to give ourselves compassion here. However we need to be responsible not to hurt ourselves or others, and we can do that by learning how to heal and new behaviors that are healthy. Your Bayridge Counselling Centres Team

Do you know your individual attachment style yet?

Life can be harsh and people can be cruel making us believe things about ourselves that are not true. The truth? The day you were born your value was equal to every other human. Sure each of us have differences which makes us unique though our value is exactly the same as anyone else's. And another truth is that there is nothing we can do to lose our value or gain more value. So take rest in these words today and be mindful of the words you are thinking about yourself, and start saying affirming things to you to reprogram your mind and spirit. And we are here to help you, Your Bayridge Counselling Centres Team

We all have needs and it’s important that we do not deny, dismiss or feel guilty for asking for other needs to be met.

The Mastery of Self is a book by don Miguel Ruiz Jr. See link in our BIO for an excerpt from The Mastery of Self OR visit the link below! http://www.hierophantp...ublishing.com/mastery-self-don-miguel #themasteryofself #donmiguelruizjr #donmiguelruiz #toltec #selfmastery #hierophantpublishing

This is how we give empathy to another person that is sharing their struggle. Often we want to jump in and go to 'fix it' mode, other times we want to help by sharing our stories, and other times if what they are upset with is something we did we dismiss or get defensive. To emotionally validate is to let another person know that they matter, and that we see them; and when we feel heard, nurtured then we feel so much better. This is how we cultivate incredible healthy relatio...nships, where we honor each other and keep each other safe. Know we do not have to agree with the other persons thoughts because some have said that they cannot validate because they do not agree with what the other person is saying; empathy through emotional validation does not require agreement of thoughts, rather is being a detective to discern what emotions they are feeling and naming them with an empathic tone.

Don't forget the value of taking time to rest.

Something different than our traditional post, but SO wonderful!!!! We hope you love it!!

We struggles as adults like all other humans yet we can be so critical and cruel to ourselves when we struggle. There are many tools we did not learn when we were younger which is why in a big part we struggle much harder and if we gain those tools, our struggles are reduced. And we are here to help support you to smile more, Your Bayridge Counselling Centres
