Connect Counselling WA Repost, I hope you find it interesting!
😊

When I was in the early stages of building my business plan for my Connect Counselling WA business. I had a glimmer of consideration to host workshops relating to common barriers people experience when completing daily living tasks at home and community. I was particularly intrigued about conversations around cleaning.

I daydreamed about holding a safe, yet innovative space for a variety of people to openly discuss their perception and share how they managed when tackling the same universal daily rouitnes expected of us.

I imagined listening and learning from each participant about the barriers (emotional, social, mental fatigue, judgement, physical) they faced, and what strategies they devised on the days when they felt able.

I felt passionate about bringing this topic to light. I wondered if I was alone in experiencing the pressure to constantly maintain the expectation of successful living. So I placed my workshop idea to one side until I identified common patterns of daily barriers that many clients experience. From there, build a platform of supports for the larger community who are also silently experiencing similar battles.

My workshop idea has been suspended until watching this video on Ted Ex by KC Davis titled "How to Do Laundry When You're Depressed". It stopped me in my tracks, and now I am reconsidering building my Daily Living Workshop.

Take 15 minutes to watch and take note about how you feel about KC Davis's honest and humorous video. Are you part of the crowd/or once was a part of the community who silently battle to compete their routines 'successfully' on a daily bases? Would you consider taking part in a Daily Living Workshop, where you can share your stories, support one another, and invent new ideas on how to navigate each day - no matter how big or small the level of your success is perceived?

There is silence around the expectations of the upkeeping of a the perfect home, and in the community. Many people suffer from mental health as a result.

Are you daring enough to challenge these boundaries of expectation?

🙏 Thank you KC 🙏

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Grounding Yourself:
Before we find the courage to take a leap of faith - there are two questions before taking flight. Am I leaping into the 'unknown" for the right reasons, or am I escaping the emotional turmoil that challenges me. Take a moment to look around at the existing beauty - this will be your compass.

Hey 😊 De here 💚 Connect Counselling WA

I don't know how you navigate through emotionally charged times, or quite patches where buried emotions cry loudly for your attention.

For me, it was when I was 16/17 where I started to view the world through a more completed lens, which led me to question life and where I fit in. Thus, becoming my own full-time therapist - and still am very much today.

The catch? I have often found it difficult finding a therapist who 'gets it's or is 'on my level'. I've have also had experiences where l have left the therapy room feeling judged, too scared to challenge or question my therapists' true perspective, instead, I have made assumptions that they were in fact judging me, or felt inadequate in their role (not helping enough) when I actually shared some positive news with them.

As a client, we just want to be heard unconditionally, no matter what we share with our therapist. Building trust with a professional strange is no easy feat.

From a therapist's perspective, we work in a very humanistic setting, not robotic. It is part of our role that we are purposefully not perfect, because that what creates the 'human experience' of exploring and exchanging emotional stories. Being human makes us truly compassion in supporting our clients.

Most certainly, being a human therapist can disrupt the client's therapy experience, as we too can get triggered by our client's stories and emotions. Which can bring up our own emotional barriers that can get in the way of being truly authentic and present for our clients 100% of the time.

As the client, who sits across the way from their therapist (therapists are clients too!), the triggered therapist can re-trigger us, often leaving us with feeling unheard, and not accepted fully by our therapist, perhaps, 'in the same manner' that our loved ones sometimes make us feel.

When we experience this threat in trust, we either voice our hurt out loudly, marching away from the therapy process - too hurt or embarrassed to repair the therapist-client relationship.
Or, we might become withhold our disappointment of broken trust by not speaking up about how we feel hurt by therapist, in fear that we might offend our therapist - not wanting to disrupt the trusting relationship that we have developed.

Well, family and friends, this is what the therapeutic process is about. Ruptures and Repairs. Ebbs and Flows. Smooth conversations to rocky disruption within the therapeutic conversation.

This is the stuff that emotional exploration is about. We are here to address old wounds, acknowledge difficult truths, and bring in new strategies that are here to support you to reinvent and rejuvenate your psyche.

Your therapist needs you, as their client, to challenge them when you feel that the therapeutic conversation has changed course or feels rocky.

As the client, have you often questioned yourself with questions, such as; 'Am I boring my therapist?' (therapist could have received unexpected news prior to you meeting up), or 'Did my therapist just laugh at me, the same way my sister did when I told her this story?' (Your therapist may have had a similar past experience that brought brought a smile to their face).

A therapist continues to be filled with imperfections and triggers, however, a therapist should be genuinely present and supportive for you, while providing you with the space you require to open up the projector reel and explore the highs and lows of your life journey in a safe space.
