Welcome to September

September is a month of change bringing cooler temperatures and shorter days.

It’s a time of transition and a return to routine after the summer.

This can be a productive time where we catch up on getting those jobs done we’ve neglected over the summer months.

It can bring a sense of excitement or unease as younger children start school, older children move to junior or senior school and where young adults become increasingly independent as they go to college, uni or work.

The house feels much quieter which you might really enjoy but alongside this can be worry for your children as they transition into the next phase of their lives.

You may also feel a sense of loss where you long for the days when your children were younger and you could keep them safe.

You may be looking forward to having more time to yourself or you might be wondering how you are going to fill your time and feel a bit redundant.

You may be asking yourself “where do I fit into all of this change?”

These mixed emotions can feel very confusing but rest assured they can all exist at the same time and are all part of the process as you transition into a new and different normal.

With every change there is loss. Therapy helps us to navigate through change.

If any of this resonates during the next few months and you would like a safe space to talk things through I am here to help.
