Thursday is my counselling day. In the morning I see my own clients and in the afternoon I continue to see my own counsellor. Every other Wednesday I see my own supervisor and every month I have joint supervision from my placement supervisor on a Thursday lunchtime.
Today was the day for that too.
This afternoon, I feel a little counselled out, so braved the cold and sat on the patio with a coffee, closed eyes to the wind.
I sat like that for an age and it felt very good.
The wind whipping away negative thoughts allowing space for the objective and the balanced.
Village leader Ian ,dropped by with the Flower Show Schedules and I’ve just dropped the first one off at Jenny Morris’ home, surrounded by the most delightful allotments . She is the “ face.” Of the flower show this year
Im meandering to the end of my annual leave weeks and I have recharged nicely . The patio planters look pretty and colourful, another small job done, a list line ticked
Tomorrow , Janet and I are off to see Sweet Charity at Theatre Clwyd and Saturday I’ve booked to see
“ Freud’s Last Session” at the Storyhouse
It seems an appropriate film given the counselling feel of my holiday
I’ve learned a great deal this week,
That’s why I’m weary and tired
Tomorrow , I’m making sushi
Bloody lovely
It sounds like it's been a full-on day for you. Brain overload! Enjoying your patio and plants is a good wind down. Shame it's chilly, but hey ho! Enjoy the theatre and film. xx
ReplyDeleteI’m looking forward to the sushi , I love the time it takes to make
DeleteThat's a lot of counseling to be involved with, it's no wonder you're weary, I hope you enjoy theater with Janet,the garden is lovely, Mary
ReplyDeleteIt’s intensive for sure, but that’s good
DeleteCounselling is hard work..giving or receiving.
ReplyDeleteGarden and theatre as battery recharging are good ideas xx
Good point my friend
DeleteWhat a lovely, colorful, and serene setting for relaxation is your garden. Bliss to enjoy even if you need a jumper on.
ReplyDeleteHope the play and film are enjoyable and you're less weary when it's time to return to work.
Hugs!
I’m doing an extra shift on Sunday , which pays for two counselling sessions
DeleteYour patio looks beautiful. I am so fed up of this cold flaming June.
ReplyDeleteIt’s slightly exasperating isn’t it
DeleteI met a lady who does counselling whereby she meets up with her client in the countryside to talk about whatever x πΏπ
ReplyDeleteIt’s called WALK AND TALK we have it here, it’s a less stressful type of talking therapy
DeleteLee
Oh - I didn't remember what she said it was - I passed by her with my dogs - She was sitting under a tree rolling a ciggy waiting for someone - Thanks Lee x
DeleteThis is news to me but I can see the attraction
DeleteOh wow, that patio looks beautiful. If only the weather was warm enough to sit outside and enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteIt cleared my tubes that’s for sure
DeleteYour patio looks bloody lovely too.
ReplyDeleteCheap colour , but it works
Delete49 flower shows
ReplyDeleteHow many have you run John??
Keith
Xx
I co ran many with the delightful Sylvia Evans for years since the 2007 or so .
DeleteIt’s always a team effort
Or as the Japanese say about sushi: γ¨γ¦γη΄ ζ΅γͺ
ReplyDeleteSpelt wrong
DeleteYou guys are very well organized to have the schedules done two months in advance.
ReplyDeleteYes I’m worried,
Deletelol… had a lovely chat with a bulldog today, her human actually called her a flaming diva…made me laugh
DeleteThat’s bulldogs for u
DeleteThe film looks interesting. I'm a big fan of CSLewis.
ReplyDeleteNot much truth in any of it I expect but we will see
Delete49th annual!?! Wow! I did not realize the flower/produce show has been going for that many years. Amazing!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you are enjoying your counseling.
We have hot, hot, hot here so the A/C is going!
Have a great time with Janet at the theatre!
It’s lovely that we can keep the history going
DeleteIf there were ribbons for best brochure, that one would win it hands down!
ReplyDeleteI love u
DeleteYou do more in one day than I do in a whole week. But out of left field I have booked myself onto a 5 week pottery course, I am so excited to have something "me" to look forward to. Squee.
ReplyDeleteYour patio pots look delightful...you just need some sun now to fully enjoy them. I would like to make some sushi...it's very expensive here; I might give that a go too!
Way to go you !!!!
DeleteI know! I am still buzzing lol... bought a sushi kit today ... sushi for lunch tomorrow...who am I ...lol
DeleteYour garden is delightful. So is the program!
ReplyDeleteYou patio is a flower show, and time in the breeze can so clear the head.
ReplyDeleteYou'll need time to unwind. That is a lot of counselling, giving and receiving all in one day. Wow.
ReplyDeleteFreud's favourite joke: A young Prince was walking down Oxford Street when he saw his doppelganger approaching him. He asked him 'Did your mother ever work at the palace?'. No, replied his lookalike, but my father did!
ReplyDelete:)
DeleteIt must take time to fully assimilate a counselling session. So much to process. Your time in the garden with a coffee must have helped a lot.
ReplyDeleteGreat to see the flower show programmes and they look good!
We had a woman here in our town who tried having counseling while exercising (treadmill) at the same time. My friend tried it, but found it too "open," meaning, there were others around and talking about her troubles and feelings while others were within earshot was just too unnerving. My counselor uses a hand held EMDR device and she said walking will do for the brain what her EMDR device does. No wonder my gf and I feel so good after walking and talking! Counseling and being counseled would drain my batteries quickly! I'd need much alone time to recover from that; your patio with its riot of color is perfect for that. I LOVE the flower show pamphlet!
