| 1:03.3 | In the aftermath of the life-changing events of the past couple of years that we've all faced, |
| 1:08.4 | some of us will have had to give that extra care and take that |
| 1:11.8 | extra care of our loved ones. Now that comes naturally to some people, they're just caring in general |
| 1:17.9 | and they always put others first and if this is you, then just stop and ask yourself, how much time |
| 1:24.8 | do I give to me is it balanced? |
| 1:33.6 | It can be so easy getting so caught up in providing what others want or need from you that you forget about that equally important person in the bargain, yourself, and you're |
| 1:38.8 | very important because if you spend all of your time giving and looking after others and not finding that balance |
| 1:45.3 | to spend time on yourself also, you can spread yourself too thinly and you'll be burned out |
| 1:51.2 | before you know it. And no one wants that, do they? Now something beneficial to help you find |
| 1:57.9 | this balance is therapy. I don't mind admitting that I've had my own |

| 2:12.8 | has helped me no end. Therapy isn't just something reserved for those who've experienced trauma in their |
| 2:19.5 | lives and are looking to rebuild themselves. Not at all. It's an imperception that is. It can help |
| 2:24.9 | you learn how to recognise your own limits and develop your own boundaries. It can help you make |
| 2:30.2 | changes in a positive way. All that good stuff that helps you be the best version of |
| 2:35.1 | you that there is and help you look after yourself as much as you look after others. |
| 2:40.8 | If you think in a trying therapy from wherever you are in your life, to help with that journey |
| 2:45.9 | of self-discovery to make it the best possible life for you, then why not give better help a try? |
