Sometimes it doesn’t take a crisis to stop us. Just a cold, a body that says “that’s enough”.
And in the middle of mucus, fatigue, and rushed digestion, we face something deeper: our fragility.
Physical strength and emotional resilience
I don’t get sick often. But when I do, my mood drops too.
Energy disappears. Thoughts grow heavy.
And I know I’m not the only one.
For many, body and emotions are deeply linked.
Being a therapist doesn’t make me immune
Supporting others doesn’t mean I’ve solved everything.
It means I’ve learned to also support myself, without demanding perfection or pretending I have it all together.
When I don’t know how to stop, my body stops me
Maybe these little aches are how the body says:
“Slow down. Breathe. Rest.”
Maybe we don’t need to wait until exhaustion to start caring for ourselves.
Balance may not be sexy… but it’s essential
Years ago, a teacher told me:
“In the middle of extremes lies the truth.”
I replied: “Only boredom lives there.”
Now I know she was right.
Balance may not shine… but it sustains.
A process to reconnect with yourself
Gestalt counselling doesn’t erase your extremes.
It helps you understand your rhythms, your traps, and your resources.
And from there, choose to care for yourself with more kindness.
If it’s time to stop pushing and start listening, this process may be for you.
