Simon Hudson Psychotherapy and Counselling LONDON CITY THERAPY

"If an egg is broken by outside force, life ends. If broken by inside force, life begins. Great things always begin from inside." - Jim Kwik

Therapy when practiced well is a fine but delicately balanced intervention in another person’s life. It requires a devotion to truth and a merciless pursuit of right living. Expertise in bringing people out of the darkness of a disappointed or bitter life into the light of a new vitality is hard earned. It is a privilege and a pleasure when it works well. But that level of engagement with clients is also extremely demanding and it can never be achieved by trotting out stereotyped tricks from approved textbooks.”
― Emmy Van Deurzen, Psychotherapy and the Quest for Happiness

"…the purpose of psychotherapy is to set people free."
~ Rollo May, 1981, Freedom and Destiny

Elizabeth Kubler Ross

Have patience with all things, but first with yourself. Never confuse your mistakes with your value as a human being. You’re perfectly valuable, creative, worthwhile person simply because you exist. And no amount of triumphs and tribulations can ever change that. Unconditional self-acceptance is the core of a peaceful mind.
St. Francis de Sales

Question negative self-talk before it becomes destructive. And don't believe everything you feel and think. Just because you sometimes believe you're worthless, unlovable and stupid doesn't mean you actually are these things.
Victoria Maxwell

The Beauty of Attention

MINDFULNESS

Mindfulness is composed of two aspects:

‘‘self-regulation of attention’’ and ‘‘an orientation that is characterized by curiosity, openness, and acceptance’’

Mindfulness is ‘‘paying attention in a particular way: on purpose, in the present moment, and nonjudgmentally’’

Mindfulness is nonjudgmental awareness. The ability to pay attention in the moment is often called awareness.

Awareness means the ability to observe, to track thoughts, feelings, and sensations as they are happening in the present, noticing the body and mind, and contacting one’s actual felt experience

without holding on or pushing away .

Merely observing or having awareness does not constitute mindfulness; mindfulness also has the quality of non-judgment, which includes softness, acceptance of experience as it is .
