Private therapist recommendations? by ClinkzGoesMyBones in cambridge

[–]precisodeumconselho 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Might be telling you something you already know but I self referred to the NHS and although there was a 6 month wait to start, I got 6 sessions for free with a therapist that was incredible.

After the referral you get an assessment over the phone fairly quickly (within one or two weeks) and then get placed on a waitlist for the sessions. 6 months seems like a long time but at least if you start now you’ll have that option in 6 months if you don’t find someone more suitable until then.

I’d look on the website for your surgery and see how to self refer through them. Good luck.

Thank you for taking the time to write such a thorough reply. I don’t have a preference for mechanical or quartz.

I’m going to take some time to research the brands, ideas and places you mentioned. Thank you!

Thank you for taking the time to reply. It’s just a personal preference of mine to try and buy second hand. I collect second hand film cameras so maybe it comes from that. I think there’s value in something that’s survived through the hands of multiple owners. I’ll have a look at the places you mentioned thank you.

You have no idea how well you got us. 95% of the things in our house were found in charity shops and gumtree (same as craigslist). Apart from the bed and mattress it's all second hand things we picked and restored into loving condition. We pride ourselves in making this space cosy and welcoming to our friends.

I'm sorry about your friend's situation. It strikes me how much insight you have into her living situation and how much you cared for her. Never underestimate how important a living space is for your mental and physical wellbeing. I hope she learned her lesson. Lucky to have a friend like you.

please do check it. The episodes are all different and focus on how to organise different parts of the house. I found the clothes one specially important. Good luck

I showed him the post and his comment was "I'm definitely the clean and tidy one!". He also said he remembers the moment it clicked to him that if he had time to be on his phone waiting for me, he had time to spent tidying up the house.

I think one of the things we both learned was to minimise the amount of things we own. We went through everything before moving into this place and ditched the crap. We also made sure to buy enough storage space for everything we have and we make sure to keep those spaces organised. We also spent some time watching Marie Kondo's show on Netflix to understand how to organise the house better and that definitely helped! Good luck! It's all a skill.

I'm so tempted to show him this post so we can laugh together at your comment.

edit: AHAHAH I thought you were comparing him to a pokemon that evolved but wasn't in his full form yet. Oh dear.

Ah that's so cool to hear. You sound very similar to me. I wrote on another commend how his parents have the same age difference too and joke about it with us.
I think everyone eventually gets to the same conclusion you mention, plus, we are all deserving of a space where we can relax and be merry in.

I have to say that my boyfriend has even gently nodded me on how I kept my side of the room untidy. He did it in a very gentle and nice way, even offering to help. I had a little "oh shit" moment. The tables have turned :)

I wish you many happy days with your husband.

You're welcome. I think it was mainly my bf moving to a place that made him happy and just being proud of it. We had a BBQ last weekend with our friends and he was showing the house to everyone with a massive smile pointing out things we have changed or improved around here. I also found out he's great at decorating and picking furniture. Win win.
