Overwhelmed

So often these days, my clients arrive for our supervision sessions saying they are exhausted, overwhelmed, and ‘all over the place’. Our time together enables them to slow down and process the diverse elements of their lives and their work that they are immersed in and at times overwhelmed by.

Just having an hour or so to consider and reflect on what is really important to them, to offload the minutiae of their everyday choices and decisions – which they find hard to resist, or which they take for granted – seems to me to be increasingly essential for our well-being, be that mental, physical or emotional.
