Why do we keep doing the same thing?

Why do we keep doing the same thing?
The desire to re-visit and put right, alter or make amends often results in us making the same decisions resulting in the same outcomes. Many of our re-visited patterns are done so unconsciously in an attempt to unconsciously recreate an unresolved part of ourselves in the present day in order to heal it. Armed with only our own way of doing this inevitably results in the same outcomes and so the pattern of re-visit will emerge in different guises attempting to be seen by ourselves and re-worked. Counselling can help challenge those patterns - Read More

Counselling as method for dealing with psychological distress
Posted by siteadmin on May 22, 2025
This book was one of the first “counselling” books I read many years ago; “Counselling for Toads” by Robert de Board.
Using the characters of Kenneth Grahame’s Wind in the Willows it follows Toad who is experiencing a depressed state and his good friends Rat, Mole and Badger who are afraid “he might do something silly”.

Endings
Posted by siteadmin on January 23, 2025
We all experience endings in life from the moment we are born. Some are small and even daily endings like the end of watching a programme or finishing a crossword. Whilst others are life changing and define significant times in our lives. The spectrum of endings knows no limits with some being planned for yet others feeling completely unexpected.
They all bring a huge array of emotions, many of them conflicting which can be confusing and they all define the start of something different from that moment onwards.
Reflecting on how we experience endings can help us negotiate the harder ones that - Read More

Why do you suppose that may be the case?
Every day I go for a walk. Some days it’s harder than others especially if the weather is less appealing. But, without fail, I will come across at least one thing on my walk that makes me smile…and today it was these two.
I know some people will read this and say “really?!! how is this important?!!” but for me it reminds me that I have many choices, some of which may shape my day, my week or my life.
So when i get up in the morning and it’s raining and I think - Read More
