Just having quiet reflection in Abbey Gardens, when this guy was showing his sister and dad around. An unexpected sureal meet up.

Would this be of interest? As a man and husband, it has certainly helped my wife navigate my dysfunctions better, and led us to having a smoother relationship together.

Home Coming: Finding Comfort & Safety in your Body & Nervous System HOME COMING is the latest unfolding of my work based on the practical application of the Polyvagal Theory that is rooted in the knowledge I have collected and mastered in the last few years in my personal life and my practice as a Body Centred Therapist.

What the Pandemic taught (or rather reminded) me.
1. Nothing is certain, everything is fluid and having attachments to outcomes has caused me nothing but stress.
2. Family and friends matter more to me than I realised. Social contact with others is just as important.
3. I have relearned to appreciate more.
4. I have done my best to appreciate that whatever is happening is just an experience – a neutral experience. If I judge something as good – fine, but if I judge it negatively; it is a sure sign that I have not learnt something. (Even my covid induced heart attack was a gift… really!)
5. Looking after myself is not selfish. Self-care is vital in maintaining my wellbeing for me to function and support others.
6. I have a clearer understanding of pragmatism which trumps my old stubborn dogmatism any day.
7. If we want to live within a trustworthy local community, I must be the first to open up to trusting myself more.
8. The early days of lockdown showed me how scared people were, they were hyperaware of others in the street, in the queues and in the shops. Awareness is not a bad thing when not motivated by fear. I did my best to engage others verbally, not just with my eyes from behind a mask.
9. There will never be the same old or the old normal ever again. I have had to learn from the experiences I have had, or else it was not worth experiencing them in the first place.
10. Although our brain (and therefore us) crave for certainty, life is infinitely uncertain and I need to have the flexibility or trust to have a plan B.
11. Wealth inequality has become so obvious that I hope society will not continue to sweep the incongruity of modern life under the carpet.
12. Prior to the pandemic, mental health issues had apparently increased ten fold over the previous ten years. I am working through how to support and help the incoming tsunami of problems that are on the way. We need more conversations about mental health and mental ill health.

THERE ARE MORE THAN 12 LESSONS – BUT THESE STAND OUT FOR ME.

What are your top lessons that you can share with others?

't lose yourself

Tough times as we are a seperated from what was comfortable and familiar. The optimists will see opportunities to learn, the rest of us may suffer in these times. Learning to be more resilient in the face of disasters has been humankind's saving features throughout century's. Learning to be less a human doing and more of a human being has helped me. Keep the love going.........

If I were to ask you to discuss "mental health" with me, what do you think we would be talking about?

How are you today? I know you probably are OK, but is that good enough? What will it take before we have the courage to face our fears and ask for help?

What have I missed out/ Help me. Tell me?
