by Lara Just, 28th May 2018

Inside and outside of my clinic in these last few month's there have been some 'themes' becoming apparent for so many people (in areas of romance, work, friendship, family): RELATIONSHIPS!

Relationships evolve over time in different ways. These changes can feel good or painful. If there are painful changes or endings, how can we help ourselves to get through these challenging transitions and how is it even possible to feel more excited about new opportunities again? Can we look at it in different ways for a shift perspectives for for more useful and productive ways of thinking (and feeling!) about them? In my blog and the selected TedTalks/videos and book selection (scroll to the end) we will explore why certain people might enter our lives at different stages of our lives and for different lengths of time... Scroll down to see more below!

And TODAY, legally I have to mention the the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR): designed to protect individuals’ personal data and electronic privacy, coming into effect on 25th May 2018. Unless you have been living totally "off grid" somewhere, I am sure your email in-box has been already swamped by this GDPR business. So! To make it as easy as possible: if you are still happy to continue receiving this information from me, you don't need to do anything right now, and, as in the past, I will use your personal data (name and email address) for the exclusive purpose of sending you my newsletter on psychology and psychotherapy topics, useful video/talks and book tips. If you no longer wish to receive this, please unsubscribe below or email info@adadsu.com with the header "unsubscribe".

So with that have a fantastic weekend, I hope some of the information this month is useful and I do hope everyone's email inboxes will become lighter again!

This month's blog is about relationships of any kind (romantic, friendship, family, soulmate), exploring if there is any value in the saying that relationships are there for a season, a reason or a lifetime. Especially during painful change or break-ups, can it be helpful to explore a different perspective of why people come into our lives and what we can learn from it for our own personal growth and future relationships Read more

I would like to share this inspiring TED Talk on rethinking infidelity with relationship therapist Esther Perel. She delivers a captivating talk exploring infidelity and why people cheat (actual or ‘emotional’ affairs), seeing it more as an expression of longing and loss, but also explaining why it can be so traumatic. It is really worth watching (as the title says) for anyone who has ever loved… Read more

In this TED Talk clinical psychologist Dr Jill Squyres explores the mysteries of friendships. Gaining perspective on loneliness and frenemies (a play on words between friends and enemies – e.g. a person that is not well-meaning or who actually harbours a fundamental rivalry or dislike) she explains why it is ok to choose NOT to be friends with some ‘friends’ any longer...

In a blog article from The Walking Therapist (my other website) I write about the “Top 5 tips to tackle big changes in your life” for self-help and take charge of your life again. It can be fitting in general and when we are in big transitions or life crisis. Read more

A YouTube video from The Daily Positive sparked off this month’s theme on relationships "for a season, reason or lifetime" and why certain people come into our lives for a certain time. For anyone struggling or in a challenging relationship, this talk may open us up to different perspectives even in times of pain. Read more

I would like to share a meditative walking exercise with you, the Medicine Walk, that can bring up a lot of useful material for a question that you may have in mind (about your life at present). It has been adapted from Nick Totton, author of "Wild Therapy", with whom we had a fantastic workshop last month. Read more

In her book "The Dance of Connection: How to Talk to Someone When You're Mad, Hurt, Scared, Frustrated, Insulted, Betrayed, or Desperate", Harriet Lerner, PhD. explores how in relationships and particularly over time, people can begin to "lose their voice". We feel we are not being 'heard'; conflicts and arguments go nowhere or only lead to pain. However, if we can't articulate our true self, and give voice to this self, it will be difficult for both a relationship and a self to exist between two people. Read more

In this Amazon book or audio book version Dr Guy Winch explores specifically romantic heart break and heart break from the loss of beloved animals or pets, and how for some people it can take months or years to come to terms with it. Dr Winch also reveals how emotional pain lowers our ability to reason, think creatively, problem solve and function. But he also looks at a few effective techniques to accelerate our healing - part of them being (no surprise!) self-compassion and mindfulness techniques. Read more
