CK Therapy : reflections on the type of rest you may need.
Sometimes, our bodies send us signals that we need rest, but we often overlook taking a moment to understand the type of rest we truly need. Try using exploring our examples of types of rest you may need to help guide you. For further support exploring somatic therapy, grounding techniques or rest needs get in touch using one of our website contact forms. 
Mental Rest:
Give your mind a break. Try meditation or enjoy a quiet walk to clear your thoughts.
Physical rest:
Honor your body. Rest, sleep well, stretch, or engage in gentle exercise.
Emotional rest:
Embrace your feelings. It’s okay to say no when you need space.
Social rest:
Recharge in solitude or with close, trusted friends. It’s alright to take a step back from social events.
Sensory rest:
Unplug from screens and enjoy moments of quiet to reset your senses.

CKTherapy | Thoughtful Quotes
“You can have both compassion and boundaries.”
In therapy, many people struggle with the belief that setting boundaries means they’re not being a “good person.” They worry that prioritizing their own needs is selfish. However, it’s not about choosing between others and yourself—it’s about saying “me too”. Embracing your own needs alongside compassion for others is possible and important to healthy relationships.

Therapy isn’t just for those in crisis.
You don’t have to be “bad enough” to come to therapy.
Therapy isn’t just for those in crisis.
Taking care of your mental health and celebrating the positives are just as important reasons to engage in therapy and reflect on your progress.
Therapy isn’t about fixing problems.
It’s about making strides in understanding yourself, improving your mindset, and developing skills for life. Recognising these wins helps build confidence and motivation, reinforcing the positive changes you’re making. It reminds you that progress is happening, and it encourages you to keep moving forward, making the journey feel more empowering and rewarding.

We truly resonate with the quote, “Be where your feet are.” It’s a powerful reminder to stay grounded in the present moment and embrace mindfulness.
Life can often feel overwhelming, and we understand that there are times when you just want to escape. In those moments, it’s important to acknowledge how challenging it can be to remain present. Mindfulness, however, offers a different approach.
Instead of pushing away difficult emotions or distractions, it invites us to fully experience them and, with gentle awareness, let them pass. Practicing mindfulness helps us find peace even in the toughest moments, guiding us to stay connected and aware rather than seeking an escape.
In therapy we often try and create a toolkit a handful of resources you can use in or outside of the therapy room when things get overwhelming to ground you. Learning and practicing mindfulness is one of those tools. To learn more grounding resources get in touch to arrange your own sessions or visit our resource page for more ideas.

Boundary Boss by Terri Cole
Boundaries have become a popular term in today’s society, but we’ve noticed that many people coming to therapy use the term without truly understanding what boundaries are, how they’re currently using them or how to implement effectively.
We love how Boundary Boss provides guidance for those who have been resisting or over-giving in relationships.
It helpfully incorporates reflective questions and practical steps and scripts throughout the book, which help readers navigate the process of setting healthy boundaries.

✨ In therapy, it's easy to think the therapist will “fix” everything, but healing is a partnership. Think of it like working with a personal trainer. You wouldn’t expect to build muscle after one hour a week, right? It takes consistency, practice, and time. 💪


The same goes for mental health. Your therapist is here to guide and support you, but it’s up to you to keep practicing the tools you learn. It’s about small, everyday actions that build up to lasting change. 🌱


And remember, rest is just as important as the work. It’s okay to fall back on old coping strategies sometimes—what matters is how you treat yourself during those moments. Be kind to yourself and keep going. You’re doing great. 💖

​CK Therapy resourcing.
In therapy, we aim to equip you with a “toolkit” of resources designed to support your growth and well-being. These tools will help you stay grounded and build on the progress we make together.
For example, if we’re focusing on enhancing your self-esteem, Catherine has developed a tool called “The Sparkle Jar” to guide and support you along the way.
