Planning For Later Life! I’m sure I wouldn’t be in the minority when it comes to finding it hard to think about death. Everything about it terrifies me and despite being an adult with a mortgage and a family and all the trappings of “life” which mean I SHOULDF think about death, though may it be long into the future, I find myself blocking it with a big dark cross over my vision. My Mum and her best friend of […]
Where Can You Get Psychotherapy Near You? Deciding that you want to have psychotherapy is a big step on your journey to happiness and one which is, as it should be, applauded. I’ve often said both on my blog and to my friends that there is no shame in needed to seek help medically be that for your body and more traditionally accepted medical issues or for your mind which you may have had a time convincing yourself to believe […]
Why Are You Anti-Psychiatrist? Is it fear I wonder when people tell me that they are anti psychiatry? Because how can one be against something that has absolutely zero chance of harming? Talking, taking holistic approaches and embracing the traditional forms of medicine, when dealing with poor mental health, are absolutely not things to be ashamed of or dismissed as being nothing. We don’t judge people or tell them not to seek medical help when they break their arms or […]
Panto In A Pickle At Norwich Theatre Royal Until Christmas Eve 2020! There are three shows on offer at Norwich Theatre Royal for this very strange and unusual of festive seasons. COVID has paid collateral damage to the arts all over the country but in Norwich, where we are tier two, our lovely theatre is doing its very best and gifting us this mini season which I wrote about extensively here. I was gifted tickets to the family friendly offering, […]
The Benefits Of Biological Psychiatry Is it just life events which can cause poor mental health issues or are some of us programmed to have a natural chemical imbalance which means we are forever destined to be in need of psychiatric help? Something we are born with and a natural scientific make up of our bodies just as in the way we look, the way we are made? I think that both causes of poorly minds are just as valid […]
Integrative Psychiatry Someone said to me recently that they had come to terms with the fact they had to accept an underlying sadness that would just always be within them even though they truly didn’t know why or how they felt the way they did. In turn this saddened me so much it made me want to ignore all the pandemic rules and run straight to them to pick them up and look after them for I truly don’t believe […]
Psychiatry and You! I think most of us have taken a bit of a knock to our mental health this year and whether we suffer with disorders which are historic or new, therapy can benefit us all – it certainly is common practice in lots of countries for everyone to have a level of ongoing psychiatry assistance and I think this can only be a good thing which we would do well to invite into our lives as a staple. […]
Chicken And Vegetable Soup under 500 Calories! There’s nothing as heartwarmingly filling on a cold and windy evening than a bowl of home made chicken and vegetable soup. Bonus is that it contains very few calories meaning it can be enjoyed with 2 slices of seedy bread and REAL SALTED BUTTER (if I couldn’t have proper salted butter I just wouldn’t bother)! There’s no real method to my soup other than I make stock by boiling up a chicken carcass […]
My First Panto: Goldilocks And The Three Bears (On Line Streaming For 2020)! As with everything 2020, panto season is a little different this year and the easiest and most socially distanced way to do it is via streaming from your own home which also works out pretty inexpensive if you’re doing it with My First Panto: Goldilocks and the Three Bears from the Garage in Norwich! The interactive production which is usually produced in an informal setting at Norwich’s […]
The Gruffalo Live Streaming By Tall Stories! Supporting the theatre is so so important at all times because actually, though tickets might seem expensive at times, it is an incredibly expensive way of producing entertainment and is, as it always has been, a labour of love for most production companies and theatres. The concept of panto was devised initially to see theatres through the rest of the financial year by injecting as much cash as possible over the festive period […]
