The Messed Up Counsellor

How do we manage with all the pressures we bear? How can we make time for ourselves and instal some restrictions that might help?

This week I explore this interesting question in the counselling room. Is it a mirage or fantasy to be, or feel like, we are in control?

Happy new year! In this episode I discuss how to keep your resolutions on track by staying motivated.
