Gentle Space with Georgia Seitanidou

It's hard to see teenagers anxious. Compassion and acceptance are all they need sometimes to settle. Other times more...

My personal struggles with Chronic Fatigue/Fibro and being bedridden for years led me to use EFT and learn about the mind-body connection and our ability to heal ourselves. I resonate deeply with moms raising kids, I have three, and all the struggles that come with it. This may be for you if you are... Lacking energy and feel depleted. Haven’t found anything that has helped You come second to everyone else Feel overwhelmed, pulled in different directions Feel spent and burnt out Have been through a traumatic experience in the past that you feel is still affecting you Tapping could help you: Maybe you want to feel heard, validated, calmer, and more grounded. Let go of shame or guilt in doing what's best for you. You need someone to problem-solve with. (sometimes we don’t know what’s going on) What you can expect: This is a layered process and there are no quick fixes (particularly if you are battling fatigue) There is no judgment, we all move at our own pace. I will explain about EFT and answer any questions that you may have This is a safe and gentle space. EFT (emotional freedom technique) is a simple but powerful technique that combines acupressure and phycology without the use of needles. It can be used on a number of issues. In EFT, we use the fingertips to tap on specific meridian points on the head and body, while focusing on difficult life events, emotions, or pain. This helps to calm our nervous system, rewire our brain response, and restore energy and balance. If this sounds like you and you are curious, book in a call with me. Georgia

Great to look at ..

Saw this in another group today

Reflecting on the last school year We went out to dinner last night to celebrate the close of another school year and it has caused me to reflect on all that has transpired. This journey of motherhood has been a different one than I expected. What stands out most is the inability to plan or determine how things will go. It’s typically more like hold on, and breathe while life takes you for a ride. ... It’s a tough job being a parent, no? It demands sacrifice, making difficult decisions at times, understanding where our kids are in the stages of development and what is normal. And if you are a Sensitive mom like me and your nervous system is easily stimulated life can be overwhelming at times. There are days when I feel like I’m done. Like I didn’t sign up for this and the price is too high to give them what they need. And a lot of self-care and compassion is needed. And then there are the days when I am in awe and feel privileged to be a part of their lives! The laughs and crazy things they say and come up with are amazing. (we have a couple of comedians at home) I also never expected how challenging and busy having three teenagers all at once would be. Seems like someone needs something at any one given time and wants attention - comfort, compassion, validation, love, guidance, needs a difficult conversation, space to express anger and frustration or other big emotions, talk about their day, or is having a tantrum. Or just very very silly I’m not going to lie, I’m only human and sometimes I have to walk away and recharge. Last week I went to see a girlfriend for the night and drank wine and shopped online. It was blissful! In addition, there is the pull from screens and what a different world we are in now and how times have changed from when we were growing up. I was talking with another mom last week about how tiring it is to monitor older kids with their screens. Feels like a full-time job on its own. At times I wonder if it will be enough - then remind myself that all we can do is our best and be compassionate with ourselves. So much goes on behind the scenes in the raising and caring of a family, and if you re feeling unappreciated or tired, you are seen, heard, and loved. And doing such important work. When I see teenagers that are struggling I wish I would hug them all, make them a meal, listen to them, and give them a lifeline. Teenagers are so amazing and educating myself or how their brain develops during these years has given me a lot of compassion for them. Putting a big hug out there for anyone that needs it today, and seeing you for all that you are doing every day. Xx Georgia
