Connect with the world (and beat the fear)
hello, salut, hei,
Welcome to my first blog here at Humansense. I have decided to take the plunge and start a blog, something I have wanted to develop for a while but put off because like many of us experience anxiety and fears that stop us from doing things. For me, writing means putting myself out there, my anxieties focus around “what if I get it wrong, what if I am not good enough or worse still what if nobody is actually interested”?!
“But your’e a counsellor” I hear you say. Yes I am, as is Dom but we experience a range of emotions like everyone else. We swear, laugh, get sad, feel anger, we have disagreements, sometimes we argue and we make mistakes. What we aim to do is negotiate our way and learn from our experiences in what can be a beautiful as well as a harsh World.
So, here we are. Taking a risk, like we all do when we start or try something new. We don’t know where it will lead or if it will be a success, they key thing though it that you made the first step, had some faith and took some action. My hope is that we can create writing and resources that you will find interesting and helpful, thought provoking and supportive, uplifting and positive and of course a good dose of humour!
We are looking forward to sharing our experience of being therapists and human beings and our knowledge we have gained so far. Our resources and blogs will cover all sorts of issues from coping with anxiety and stress, managing conflicts, using strategies to manage difficult emotions, relaxation techniques, getting the best out of ourselves and increasing personal happiness!
We also hope our blogs and resources we will be creating will help trainee therapists gain insight into what is important when working as a therapist, caring for self and others in the process and useful strategies for helping others get the best from their sessions.
We hope you will join us in our new adventure and we hope it inspires you to start your own.
speak soon
