Therapy 4 Body and Mind

A young officer who has already seen, managed and will do for the rest of his life. It’s great to know the support is there - funding like this helps. Can you spare some £ to help him and other officers?

I know a few of my clients could make use of this or know people who can.

When did you last do something just for you?
Did you ask for approval or explain why?

Why not try something just for you and with the freedom of not sharing or asking for approval. Making a decision for you without validation.

Transitioning from any career can be difficult. One that demands so much of your time and your partners and layers it with safety concerns, location changes and more, adds complexity that was accepted without thinking.

Discovering and rebuilding what you both want and need. Finding out with support what this new life could look and be like takes time and commitment. The parallel process was designed specifically for this reason.

We all need time, how long and when depends on the what, why and how.

The process isn’t rushed, pushing causes resentment in the long run. Give time, patience and an open space to consider and be heard.

Support individually and as a partnership is part of the parallel process.

It’s easy to lose yourself in the daily tasks, in love and duty, and we often don’t notice. We are there to support, to care and help when others can’t.

What happens when that life, routine or love changes?
Finding yourself isn’t selfish, it’s essential. The recalibrate framework and parallel partner process helps you both do that. Individually and then together.

It’s a gradual process like a tree growing, we only notice the milestones or when things get too big, not the daily changes.

The frameworks I use support both of you. The high demand uniform personnel and their partner, especially as they transition from their roles. In parallel to help reconnect and grow in the end.

Please support Police Care UK, by sponsoring this officer who is running a half-marathon.

They’re an amazing charity supporting officers who suffer harm due to their role. Physical and psychological harm is unfortunately part of an officers role to keep the general public safe and naive to how horrible humans can be.

Do you like chaos or structure?

Having structure and checking in with ourselves helps to reduce stress and cortisol.

Implement a weekly check-in for yourself.
