Deadlines aren't just deadlines. There are where our hopes and dreams and fears about our near and distant future get realised. #deadline #deadlineapproaching #stress #hopes #dreams #fears #stringsattached #drmgshippi #psychology #psychologist

At times our need for emotional security hinders u

At times our need for emotional security hinders us from opening up to the world. When the walls go up, to keep the world out, look around. You are keeping whatever you are afraid of out, but you are also isolating yourself in. The castle you build for yourself might be filled with comfort. Your experiences of the world are limited. Εάν βάλουμε σαν προτεραιότητα την απόλυτη συναισθηματική ασφάλεια, τότε αποτρέπουμε τον εαυτό μας από το να συνυπάρχει με τον υπόλοιπο κόσμο. Όταν οι άμυνες ανεβαίνουν και δημιουργούν ένα ασφαλές κάστρο για τον εαυτό μας. κλειδώνουμε όλους τους υπόλοιπους έξω. Δυστυχώς όμως, κλειδώνουμε τον εαυτό μας μέσα σε ψηλούς τοίχους. Όσο άνετη μπορεί να είναι η διαμονή μας, είναι παράλληλα μοναχική. #defences #castles #walls #in #out #lockthemout #lock #yourself #inside #safe #isolated #lifeisouthere

I want to take a moment and thank all of the lovely people who have supported me in establishing my private practice, and have cheered me on. Without you this would have been impossible. I also want to thank my amazing clients or better yet members of my clan, for allowing me to join them in their journey towards growth. Witnessing your courage and dedication has been an honour. You help me grow and learn, you model perseverance and you give me faith day in day out. Thank you for existing in my life. We all won #WhatClinicAwards2020

For therapy to work this needs to happen. For relationships to work this is a requirement. Take a risk, and you'll see I will not squirm in my chair nor in my heart nor in my mind. #beauty #soul #psyche #innerself #trueself #trueselfchallenge #psychology

At some point or another, our lives undergo signif

At some point or another, our lives undergo significant changes. Such changes are also typically accompanied by relational changes. Changes might be welcomed and a result of our actions, and at times, changes might be sprung onto us, by the decisions of others or our inaction. Whether the changes are chosen or not, each kind of transition has its own difficulties.
If you have not chosen the change you are experiencing, you might be angry with the "perpetrator"
who forced the change on you. You might find a dozen reasons to refuse this, but it might be beneficial to explore the other side of things. By exploring this, you might realise that what you
thought was true about the old situation, was indeed not true. You might realise that you had a role to play in all of this, directly or indirectly or even worst none at all. I am sorry to report that having
no role to play in a situation which is now changed hurts the most. If you chose your change, there are just as many reasons to not explore its cost. Doing so might weaken your resolve. It might make you aware of the pain your transition brings to others. What is one meant to do with that? Either way, you need to explore the other side of the situation. You are in the process of leaving the status quo, into a journey of discovering and that is where you will find an answer. #changes #unresolvedquestions #healingjourney #invited #uninvited #pain #directly #indirectly #psychologist #psychotherapist #drmgshippi #heretohelp #heretolisten

This goes out to the people who keep holding on, keep bottling things inside, feeling they can't cope and postpone taking action due to inability or tiredness. Taking your time, and repeating behaviours and thoughts that you know don't benefit or suit you might cause more distress than benefits. Like not going to the doctor's when a bone in your body is broken. With time, the bone will fuse but probably not in the right place. The same goes for your mental health and wellbeing. #time #healing #healingjourney #individuals #keepgoing #holdon #bottleingthingsup #goodornot #psychologist #heretohelp #heretolisten

Though fairy tales end after ten pages, our lives

Though fairy tales end after ten pages, our lives do not. We are multi-volume sets. In our lives, even though one episode amounts to a crash and burn, there is always another
episode awaiting us and then another. There are always more opportunities to get it right, to fashion our lives in the ways we deserve to have them. Don’t waste your time hating a failure. Failure is a greater teacher than success.” Quotes from Women who Run with the Wolves Happy Women's Day #queens #Queen #women #internationalwomensday2021 #shoutout #restore #kind #drmgshippi #heretohelp #heretolisten #womenwhorunwiththewolves #wildwoman #wildflowers

People skilled in reaching conclusions, weighting

People skilled in reaching conclusions, weighting things up, minimising and managing risk can experience difficulties in making up their minds. At times our rational thinking machines need the feedback and insight of our feeling systems. The issue is that they produce algorithms in different languages. The challenge is to help the 2 systems communicate. #communication #systems #algorithms #thinking #feeling #makeupyourmind #awareness #drseuss #drseussquotes #drmgshippi #HereToHelp #heretolisten
