EMOTIONAL HEALING: GETTING IN TOUCH WITH EMOTIONS IN THE BODY
I feel so worried
I’m extremely sad today
I’m very very angry

FINDING THE MIDDLE ROAD TO MENTAL HEALTH
“Maybe you could try to get something done by this week”,
“Maybe you’re trying too hard, you could do with a little bit of letting go”
“There may be a lot more options you haven’t explored”
“It would help if you would stop exploring more and more options and instead focus on one”
“Maybe you could reach out to your partner more”,
“Maybe you could detach a bit from your partner and work with yourself instead!”
