My fabulous t-shirt arrived today, thank you Susie @sohappyintown Can you tell I love it?! Love the work you are doing and the fact that the profit from every t-shirt is going to the YoungMinds charity. The aim is to encourage young people to open up and smash the stigma around mental health. This is a great conversation starter for many people and to know that #itsoktofeelshit and that #itsoknottobeok it’s also ok to ask for help,nobody is perfect, everyone is battling with something, you are not alone, keep talking ❤️

Ever since volunteering in Mexico in 2011 there was something about Frida Kahlo that resonated with me. She suffered from polio as a girl and then a devastating traffic accident in her 20’s that left her near death with many broken bones and her uterus penetrated by an iron railing. Frida painted her trauma repeatedly as graphic self portraits some of them frightening depictions of her own eviscerated or broken female body.
Her paintings often show her face as calm and solemn as though she is patiently enduring the pain.
These are all in my home and remind me of what we can all endure and overcome 🖤

With news of a further 3 weeks in lockdown this could be hard to fathom at the moment but we must stay home to do our bit and keep eachother safe. Look after yourselves and each other and remember you are not alone, we are all in this together 💜

Currently reading this beautifully written book by Donald Kalsched, it tells the stories of ordinary patients and ordinary psychotherapists who, through working together, glimpse the reality of the human soul and the depth of the spirit, and are changed by the experience. It reaffirms to me what a human can endure yet through deep work what can be overcome. Trust in the process and things can change.

This week seems more difficult for many as the new ways of living start to really sink in. More people are being affected by the virus and many are struggling to deal with everyday life. We need to try and connect with each other and take care of ourselves in the best way possible. 💜 you’ve got this, dig deep and keep going we will get through this together 🌈
