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.
