How Dogs Can Help Improve Our Mental Health

by Bob Brotchie

From the time spent with Arthur, our rescue Lurcher, I know only too well the joy and benefits that owning a dog can have.

It can be hard to talk about our mental health with those closest to us, and the fear of being judged or labelled as something we are not (lazy, entitled, high strung) is often enough to deter us from fully sharing the way we feel. However, many of us have our dogs, or the option to visit one.

How to Survive When Your Partner is Depressed

by Bob Brotchie

Current statistics claim that 4 to 10% of people in England will experience depression in their lifetime. On almost a weekly basis high-profile sufferers ‘come out’ and share their stories. Alistair Campbell, Ashley Judd, Lady Gaga – to name just a few. Sharing experiences of depression has become much less taboo.

No Such Thing as a Grown-Up

by Bob Brotchie

There is no such thing as a grown-up (the child and her beliefs remain in adulthood) because, during the first decade of life, we learn critical and fundamental beliefs that remain with us throughout adulthood. [Read more…]

8 Steps to Being Mindful

Starting today, you don’t have to muddle through life anymore – not knowing where to turn.

Imagine… having the courage to speak up, recognising unhealthy relationships, feeling calmer, relaxed and in control, and being more able to make positive and mindful decisions.

Imagine… being more focused, energised and living a more accepting life, no more sleepless nights worrying yourself into the ground, and no more toughing-it-out alone and putting on a brave face.

With our support, you can learn how to manage whatever is now troubling you, discover new choices and move forward in life.
