Our self concept holds beliefs and values of ourselves and the world around us. It's incredibly useful, it allows you to collect and collate a whole range of ideas and build on what you have learned and grow. The danger comes when you start distorting the world to suit what's in the container. - Follow @plasticbraincompany - . . . #plasticbraincompany #plasticbrain #carlrogers #personcentredtherapy #personcentredapproach #personcentred #pct #onlinetherapy #onlinecounselling #positivethinking #positivepsychology #humanistic #growth #therapymemes #therapysession #growthmindset #psychotherapy #psychology #psychologytoday #bacp #ukcp #selfcareeveryday #growthmindset https://www.instagram.com/p/CHxHk76DaSb/?igshid=11upqc1w8ldjv

Published in 1970, Carl Rogers wrote this in his book 'On Encounter Groups'. 50 years on is it still true? Let me know. - Follow @plasticbraincompany - . . #plasticbraincompany #plasticbrain #carlrogers #personcentredtherapy #personcentredapproach #personcentred #pct #onlinetherapy #onlinecounselling #positivethinking #positivepsychology #humanistic #growth #therapymemes #therapysession #growthmindset #psychotherapy #psychology #psychologytoday #bacp #ukcp #psychodynamic #cbttherapy https://www.instagram.com/p/CHuYvSKDLPq/?igshid=1jubtzshdibsl

Person Centred Therapy is collaborative. Carl Rogers expected the therapist or counsellor to be geunine in the relationship, only then could the client be expected to do the same. - Follow @plasticbraincompany - . . . #plasticbraincompany #plasticbrain #carlrogers #personcentredtherapy #personcentredapproach #personcentred #pct #onlinetherapy #onlinecounselling #positivethinking #positivepsychology #humanistic #growth #therapymemes #therapysession #growthmindset #psychotherapy #psychology #psychologytoday #bacp #ukcp https://www.instagram.com/p/CHr8RlCj2gX/?igshid=afdsbbpmmn6z

I think this a perfect place to start with Person Centred Therapy by Carl Rogers. Over the next few weeks I will share concepts of this theory, what the focus is and how you can implement it into your life, with or without a therapist. - Follow @plasticbraincompany - . . . #plasticbraincompany #plasticbrain #carlrogers #personcentredtherapy #personcentredapproach #personcentred #pct #onlinetherapy #onlinecounselling #positivethinking #positivepsychology #humanistic #growth #therapymemes #therapysession #growthmindset #psychotherapy #psychology #psychologytoday #bacp #ukcp https://www.instagram.com/p/CHp-qiCD-J9/?igshid=aom53l9uh0hi

I turned around and I couldn’t see her. Just like that, in a split-second, she was gone and I was just surrounded by a forest of legs and shopping baskets. The electric chill rushed down my spine, I ran to the last aisle as panic and heat flooded my face. My heart was pounding so hard I could feel it hitting the inside of by ribcage, I was sweating, I was cold, I was going fast but I was going nowhere. Where was she? I called out to her, but the din of the store easily cloaked my dry-throated squeak. The dread was telling me to stay still and move at the same time, I didn’t know what to do. The heat was rushing around my neck as I squeezed my sweaty hands into a ball. She wasn’t anywhere. I could feel my stomach pulsing harder and harder as my breathing became shorter and shorter. My nose sniffled as my eyes started pooling up with water making it nearly impossible to see. Where was she? I didn’t know how much time had passed, but she had disappeared. How could she leave me here? Didn’t she notice I was gone? Did she leave me on purpose? What do I do? Where do I go? Just at the point of falling to the floor I felt the grip on shoulder, this was it, I was gone, they were going to take me. I shot back, spinning around screaming silently as my heart jumped into my throat jamming the air in my lungs. There she was. I rushed forwards squeezing her with every ounce of strength in my arms as the dam in my eyes instantly burst, soaking my face, relief buried my fear as everything just… stopped. - Follow@plasticbraincompany - https://www.instagram.com/p/CHinXRmDlwc/?igshid=bb39kzfhq8ek

I've been in an "if only" state of mind. If only this, and I would be okay. If only that, and all would be better. If only… If only…  If only… Reconfigure the blocks you have in your possession instead of longing for one's you haven't. You are the architect. - Follow @plasticbraincompany - . . . . . #plasticbraincompany #plasticbrain #psychology #psychotherapy #motivation #inspiration #goals #motivationoftheday #positivityiskey #mindsetmatters #successquotes #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthwarrior #therapy #mentalhealthmatters #positivepsychology #mentalhealthquotes #mentalhealthtips #selfesteem #mentalhealth #heal #truth #strength #selfdiscovery #selfcare #selflove #loveyourself #selfawareness #keytosuccess #anxiety https://www.instagram.com/p/CHJDyk4jTxl/?igshid=14e50f27unxea

(Me talking to me) Is growth just addition? Are you a plant or a pumpkin or a Christmas tree? Would you just grow infinitum given time and resources? No. Let's be real, our 1kg grey-matter pudding has a limit… it's 2.5 million gigabytes, but it's still a limit. (That's approximately 300 years years of consecutive back to back Netflix. That ain't Netflix and chill, that's Netflix and kill, baby) I digress. Growth is subtraction. Any idiot (me/you/us) can just keep adding, stacking a whole load of new shit on top of the bullshit they've already been pretending isn't there. Showing the world the shiny new exterior as the rotten old, puss-filled, disgrace of trash hides under the pile. Growth, real growth. Real, Real, Real growth requires you to clear things out. Empty the shed, throw out those old clothes, clear that drawer of crap in the kitchen, cut those fucking ties. This is the hard bit. You're not on a journey if you're carrying all that old shit around with you. You're taking all your bullshit on a guided of tour of everything it can potentially ruin for you in the future. Lighten the load for fucks sake. - Follow @plasticbraincompany - https://www.instagram.com/p/CG_FQeADJEQ/?igshid=1clpcx4yp2sq5

Less is more, sometimes. I've yet to find a more efficient way to experience the cathertic release of anger, excitement, frustration, joy, motivation, values and action. Words aren't bad, words aren't good, you're the one adding the baggage.

When the fuck is the wind going to be at my back? Why does it feel like I'm constantly paddling against the tide? Does this hill just keep going up? When is the universe going to cut me some slack and remove a hurdle or two instead of littering them constantly in my path? I'm starting to take this personally. I'm feeling hard done by. I'm trying so hard. I'm giving it everything. It just feels like I'm forcing everything. I've ruined the old, I'm not used to the new, the present feels completely unnatural. This is too hard. Where's the flow? Where's the bliss of becoming?...

I'm not here giving advice. I'm here to encourage. Encourage you to strip away all that external bullshit. You are the expert on your life. You are the one that knows you best. You can make the changes. You can find the solutions. If you would, share this or send this to someone who needs to hear it to encourage them. This is the first and most important step. - Tag me @plasticbraincompany - . . . . #plasticbraincompany #psychotherapy #psychology #psychologytoday #onlinetherapy #mentalhealthstrategy #copingstrategy #mentalhealth #emotionalhealth #positiveaffirmations #positiveaffirmationfortheday #mentalwellbeing #mentallystrong #mentalhealthrecovery #mentallyfit #quarantinewellness #selflovetips #selflovethread #selfloveweek #motivation101 #motivationals #motivationalposts #motivationday #selfcarequotes #selfcaretip #selfcaredaily #selfcareinplace #selfcareeveryday #healingvibes #healingyourself https://www.instagram.com/p/CGajk1DDvVl/?igshid=1cbiwkhgva3wa

So today I started school again. It's a commitment that will take me to 2023 at which point I will be a Psychologist and qualified Therapist (that's an affirmation). One foot in the science the other in the art. I hope the world is ready 😂. Self belief is an absolute necessity for any success, but today I was reminded that it's so bloody fragile. I was totally over-fucking-whelmed (T-shirts coming soon) today. As I gawped at the Zoom screen with 30 complete strangers staring back. I did my best to ensure my face looked paying-attentiony.  In fact I spent more time looking at my own gormless mug than the tutor. I also spent a lot of time checking out the interior design of my peers living quarters. Mostly I just kept thinking everyone else looked like they had their shit togther and I was just faking it. Well, everyone except Becky, who would chime in every 3 minutes to remind us she couldn't hear anything. Cool Becks, we get it, I'm fucking meting in my seat over here, I can't be  IT support at the same time. Anyway, we do this thing called "checking out" at the end of counseling practice. We share how how we think the session went and anything we felt. I couldn't believe it, everyone was like "I was nervous, I was feeling overwhelmed, I wasn't sure if this was right for me…". They were all fucking poker-facing too! Every single one of them… well, all except Becky. Becky couldn't hear anything. - Follow @plasticbraincompany - . . #plasticbraincompany #psychotherapy #psychology #mentalhealthstrategy #copingstrategy #mentalhealth #emotionalhealth #positiveaffirmations #positiveaffirmationfortheday #mentalwellbeing #mentallystrong #mentalhealthrecovery #mentallyfit #quarantinewellness #selflovetips #selflovethread #selfloveweek #motivation101 #motivationals #motivationalposts #motivationday #selfcarequotes #selfcaretip #selfcaredaily #selfcareinplace #selfcareeveryday #healingvibes #healingyourself https://www.instagram.com/p/CGF5g6CA_Cd/?igshid=12v7oven3vjxl
