After four years of searching for a private therapist. Without any luck. Margaretha appeared as if like magic. I had looked through her work via Facebook and her website. I watched through Margaretha’s videos before contacting her to see if she had any space for sessions.
With my history of CPTSD and a Panic Disorder, I was determined to get my life back, which meant that I needed to face my past and work with healing the right way. For many years I was living through the approach “take it day by day” and forget the past motto. Only to find me on occasions, I would have mental health breakdowns and severe anxiety related to issues surrounding my past.
Margaretha initially called me via zoom to have a chat about how she may help me through this. She was such a lovely, kind lady and didn’t push me to sign up for anything, she had let me sit with her information, and she welcomed me back any time to chat.
I just knew she was the woman to help me. With such a warm heart and safe nature, I had booked in with Margaretha for sessions.
I can’t even begin to start telling you what an incredible journey this already is. I feel different in a good way, and my mind is clearer. I am now able to leave my house, exercise, talk to people and become motivated in working through who I am.
Margaretha has been working through some very personal past traumas with me, and I am 100 per cent confident that I am in safe hands.
If you are looking to letting go of pain, and are ready to start your journey with Margaretha, I can promise you that it will be the best decision for you. A.W.

At the moment there is so much talk about the virus and how it is so contagious.
But did you know that the most contagious thing is actually kindness?

I know I hear you say, how can that be?
But in different studies that have been done on kindness shows the effect it has on people.

Did you know that witnessing acts of kindness produces oxytocin, occasionally referred to as the ‘love hormone’ which aids in lowering blood pressure and improving our overall heart-health.
Oxytocin also increases our self-esteem and optimism, which is extra helpful when we’re anxious or shy in certain situation.

When a study was done practicing kindness for the self and being kind to others “About half of participants in one study reported that they feel stronger and more energetic after helping others; many also reported feeling calmer and less depressed, with increased feelings of self-worth”.

Current research supports this idea. Science has now shown that devoting resources to others, rather than having more and more for yourself, brings about lasting well-being. 

Kindness stimulates the production of serotonin, without chemicals added, like anti depressants.
This feel-good chemical heals your wounds, calms you down, and makes you happy!

What can you do to help someone?
Maybe writing a letter, calling and have a chat with someone you know is lonely, these are just a few examples but I’m sure you can think of many more.

A great website about kindness is Dr. David Hamilton. See link below and check it out!

According to the Oxford dictionary, it says; trouble state of mind, worry, eagerness! Anxiety is a feeling of unease, such as worry or fear that can be mild or severe. When you start to look online there are so many answers, but the truth is we all feel anxious at times, an athlete or sports person would say; anxiety helps us to perform at our best if used in a positive way.

Happiness is not something ready-made; it comes from your own action! (quote by Dalai Lama)
