There is hope and there is a life after the dark times. If all you’re doing right now is surviving then that’s okay. Take each day as it comes and remember how worthy you really are. Truly 💜⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

This year more than ever, we've been asked a lot about the resources we recommend for recovery. The truth is, different things work for different people so it's important to find what best suits you. We always try to pose this as a question before we make any suggestions because if we give you a list of books but you're not a reader, that's not going to be helpful. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One thing we see consistently working well is journaling - our clients (and followers like you) find this daily practice nurturing but often struggle to know what to write or do, so find having a format useful. We've recently been loving A Journal to Happiness from @thewayofthetortoise as it covers so many aspects of self-healing: self-reflection, gratitude, meditation, visualisation, affirmations, daily practices and more, giving that bit of structure but holding space for us too - a guiding hand we sometimes all need. The concept of the tortoise and holistic view makes it unique to other journals, with mindset and mindfulness at its heart. Plus it’s beautifully laid out too. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As we really believe this will be valuable to so many of you, we've very kindly been given a discount code to share for 10% off your journal. Simply enter RECOVERCLINIC10 at the checkout. Head on over to the link in our bio for more images and information about what's inside 💕⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

A trauma is something that all of us experience th

A trauma is something that all of us experience throughout our lives. Trauma can be the break-up of a relationship, moving school as a young person, moving house as a young person, an argument that you have with a key figure in your life. All of these are different everyday traumas. It’s not a question about whether we have trauma, we all have trauma. The question is whether we’re able to identify that and whether we’ve been able to process and move on from that trauma. When that trauma is not validated for us we can become stuck with things.

If you are somebody who has already got some estab

If you are somebody who has already got some established destructive coping tools – whether that’s drugs, alcohol, food, sex etc. – then the work really needs to be focusing on developing some more nurturing and compassionate coping strategies before you start to do that in-depth trauma work as it’s only going to trigger those tools for you and exacerbate a lot of those symptoms that you have 💜

Often people suffering from eating disorders are s

Often people suffering from eating disorders are stuck in a cycle of internally shaming themselves. Positive affirmations such as ‘I accept myself’ can help break this cycle by changing your mindset from a shame-based one to a self-affirming one. By consciously using these statements, your subconscious mind will be influenced which will transform your attitude and behaviours and reshape your external life. Remember to be patient with yourself as change won’t happen overnight. As you change your thinking, your words will change and consequently, so will your life 💜⠀

One of the most loving and empowering things you c

One of the most loving and empowering things you can do for a loved one is to give them space to work through their trauma. It can take a lot of courage to do that, particularly when we do feel somebody being a little bit distant. Sometimes we find our own traumas being triggered and say things we don't mean. Instead, have a bit of faith in things happening as they are meant to and this will provide a lot of comfort to you.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

We believe that trauma responses are any of those

We believe that trauma responses are any of those destructive strategies that we use to try and cope and manage our emotions. Often, this is what we recognise as mental illness – depression, anxiety, eating disorders, self-harm, addictions etc. If this is you, our answer would be you have trauma and it’s not been processed because you are acting out in these self-harming ways. Traditionally when we thought of self-harm we thought about it in a very literal way as somebody harming or injuring themselves. Actually, we self-harm in lots of different ways – by not feeding ourselves properly, by not resting properly, by pursuing relationships with people who hurt us.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

You need to be really kind to yourself because when we’ve had difficult experiences, our responses to those experiences are often to be unkind to ourselves, to take a lot of responsibility and to be blaming of ourselves. The first step is to hit pause. To stop what we are already doing and to recognise that how we are currently responding to situations isn’t helping us. Quite often we get caught in cycles of doing the same things again and again, with things never changing. The only way for things to change is by us stopping, hitting pause and taking a different path. That path begins with being a little bit less hard on yourself and being a bit more compassionate.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

We believe vision boards can make your future hopes and dreams conceivable even when entrenched in mental illness and that critical internal voice.

All of our team are just lovely people - that's so

All of our team are just lovely people - that's something that is really important to us. Whatever it is that they do here - whether they are somebody who answers the phone or somebody who runs clinical groups - whatever their level of qualifications, they are all extremely kind people who invest something of themselves in the work that they do and I think that’s what translates. What we’ve created over the past 15 years has been a spiritual family.
