On Tuesday, 16th January, we met for an enjoyable cuppa and had an uplifting time together discussing how to reduce feelings of stress.

Firstly, we discussed the kinds of things that cause us stress, and there was a wide variety as you might imagine!   We shared ideas about what helps us feel less stressed, including using breathing techniques, and tightening and relaxing different muscles in our body, which is something called progressive muscle relaxation.   I was amazed to discover while doing research for this event that progressive muscle relaxation even helps with physical issues like migraines.   The worksheet and progressive muscle relaxation technique are available if you would like them.

 It was really good to air our views, and discuss ways to boost our positive feelings together.   Why not join us next month, on Tuesday, 20th February, at 3 pm in Jewels, Bedford Square, Houghton Regis?

I work by providing a safe, confidential space where people can bring their feelings and thoughts and work at their own pace. My aim is to be supportive and compassionate while helping people see aspects of their situation they haven't already considered. I aim to adapt my approach to every unique individual's particular wishes, needs and circumstances. For example, I offer the opportunity to work creatively and/or look at past experiences or how someone thinks and feels in 'the here and now'.
