Social chat tonight here

@rav3n I’m hoping it works out better this time. I know being triggered may be unavoidable, but it does come down to being able to cope with the emotions that are brought up. It did help having Lifeline experience during my placement. Lifeline teaches you counselling micro-skills and risk assessment.

Zumba can be amazing, I haven’t done it for a while. I’ve done Pilates and circuit training classes, it’s how I learnt to do some of the exercises. I think classes are a good place to start, it helps you learn the proper form. Classes can be more motivating as there are other people around you. I haven’t been to the gym for a while, I sort of exercised at home during COVID, I’ve been out of touch for a while and haven’t had proper workout sessions, at home or the gym. Maybe I can start slowly

@creative_writer Just wanted to pop in here and say that I love that you have had Lifeline training, it helps so much to have that extra insight, doesn't it? We will chat about this more on your thread.  

Also - I found a website called 'The Class' that I want to try. Apparently it's a somatic workout, so it focuses on the mind/body/emotional connection. I am going to try it out soon, but thought you might be interested too. Maybe we could both give it a go and get back to each other about what it's like? I think you get the first 2 weeks free and then you can cancel if it costs too much! Happy for anyone else to join in and give it a go too. 🤩

PS: Remember to always listen to your body and stop if things start to feel painful or unsafe.

Welcome | The Class 🥳💛

@AuntGlow I think it does help to have that extra insight. I have gained a lot from my second social work placement too. Though at the same time it can make you hyperaware, you do have to check in with yourself.

Might try looking into that tomorrow when I get time. I believe there is a very profound mind body connection that we’re only starting to learn about
