Know Thyself

Lets be Well believes that it is the hijacking of the mind and the interplay of the intellect that contributes greatly to the decline in our personal journey of mental health.

And for many others the lived experiences of transgenerational trauma, complex trauma, PTSD, ADD and or bipolar is very real.

When we shine a light onto some of the contributing factors impacting peoples mental health, we help each other and society minimise stigma associated with mental health, anxiety, depression and suicide.

To support the minimisation of stigma around mental health its valuable to also normalise some of the life experiences people struggle with alone in their heads behind closed doors.

The following list is just a few of the issues that one may feel or believe that they have to navigate on their own.

• cultural and societal expectation/ demands

• work demands

• religion

• colonialism

• systemic racism

• educational/ study demands

• (internalised/ external) homophobia, biphobia

• lateral violence

• Complex family systems

• divorce

It is important to note that most social, political systems and structures have been designed to imply support and provide a sense of human safety and security. However ironically, these systems and structures leave many people misinformed, distrusting, vulnerable, anxious, fearful overwhelmed and over worked, and under paid.

Somewhere amidst all of the conditioning and moulding from the outside world, the inner zone of self has been abandoned or neglected/ malnourished

Roles, duties, desires and pursuits of needing to be something other than the true self has taken precedence.

Buddhism’s greatest teaching says that it is desire that is the root of all suffering.

Yet, if the entire global structures and systems are designed to feed the human instinct of desire, when then does our human suffering end?

When is enough, enough?

When are we ENOUGH?

Fact: Life inevitably knocks people off axis, and out of balance, the degree to which a person is knocked around by life depends on many variables. Counselling can support and hold you in safety while you unpack, unravel and discern what you really need to love thyself and know thyself.

The human spirit and its greater intelligence is constantly calling for homeostasis, we are trained well to drown it out, cover it up and stop listening to its guidance.

Counselling can offer you a safe space once a week or once a fortnight to focus on your wellbeing, to be supported in navigating the self back to your inherent inner guidance system.

At Lets Be Well I am committed to you rediscovering a sense of Love, Belonging and Wholeness.

At lets be Well, I do not profess to know you more then you know yourself, I will only ever meet you from a professional therapeutic sovereign place, holding a mirror to you in the hope that over time you will remember the true sovereign that resides within you . And that through the Lets be Well lenses of support you will begin to remember who you really are , and commence feeling empowered and liberated by self determining choices and actions that empower, enlighten and strengthen your life vitality.
