Well I spend a lot of time drinking coffee and hot chocolate with friends and find myself having some great conversations and its one time that I can sit with people without the distractions of TV and laptop’s but can’t get away from mobile phones going of sometimes.
Mobile phones play a part in the coffee experience too, with the exchange of pictures and FB status reports great gossip.
So don’t forget how powerful a cup of coffee can be in the relationships in your life, I know they have an impact on my relationships with people.
I have friends that will call me and sat do you want to meet for coffee, I know what that means most of the time...they want to talk about them and their problems, they know I’m a counsellor. I don’t mind doing it and I put boundaries in place they are.... I have an hour and you are buying!!!
Is a cup of coffee or any hot drink a great Counselling tool?

Sunset on Hamble River
This is the first picture I have taken outside for 3 weeks. I have been signed off work with a back problem, 5 discs are busted. Anyway I’m not here to take about the back.
What this does mean is that I have been away from work and my clients for 3 weeks now, I know they are all being well looked after by the service I work for as I have been in contact to give them an update on my condition.
I have asked myself what’s it like not to have contact with my client’s?
I think I have answered this question above really, that I know they are being looked after.
I think my worry is about the rest of the Counsellors in the team because we are short staffed and when one person is off the pressure is on an already pressured team.
Its sometimes hard to let go of the worry about the rest of the team.

Seagulls looking at his own reflection
Is this little chap reflecting on self?
I guess this is something I do most days being a Counsellor. I have been reflecting alot on self over the past week. I have been off work with a bad back which is something I have suffered from most of my adult life.
I have been taking care of self this past week with heat pads and Hydrotherapy.. and reflecting on how I deal with pain, and I have come to a place where Im not sure if I have control over my body that much. What I mean by that is that my body reacts to its pain by stiffening up I can control that. I have noticed aswell that when I feel sick or ill my body starts to close down, its like it wants to sleep.
These are things that I have noticed over the past couple of years and getting to a place where I tuen my mind and body together.
