A healthy pelvic floor is more than physical support; it’s central to confidence, movement, and sexual well-being. These vital muscles form a hammock between the pubic bone and tailbone, supporting organs and contributing to an active, fulfilling life. A weakened pelvic floor can lead to issues like chronic pain and reduced sexual function, but strengthening these muscles can significantly enhance physical and mental health. Caldera Medical, alongside the Pelvic Awareness Project (PAP), aims to reach one million women by 2027 to break the stigma around pelvic health and provide education and support.

Despite gaslighting being word of the year recently, and the ‘narcissist label’ being mis-used and over-used, meaningful understanding of narcissism and more importantly recognition of the damage narcissistic abuse causes, is now growing. People like Trump have always existed, but they hid in plain sight. Now we have the language and the framework to identify the behaviours, and with that knowledge comes the power to start redressing the balance, and when combined with skilled specialist therapy, bring support and healing to survivors of narcissistic abuse.

It’s OK not to have all the answers. That is the view of Alison Bruce who is an NCSPIR Supervisor and Child, Adolescent and Couple Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist. In her blog she describes why ‘not knowing’ is an inevitable part of being a parent, and how tolerating ‘not knowing’ holds value for practitioners supporting the parent-infant relationship. https://ow.ly/VsKO50TA7QU This content forms part of our work delivering the National Centre for Supervision of Parent-Infant Relationships (NCSPIR) – in partnership with the Department of Health and Social Care. #ParentInfantRelationship #Parenting #LocalAuthorities #StartforLife

In a recent conversation with Steven, Drs. John and Julie Gottman, esteemed researchers in the field of relationships, shared their invaluable insights drawn from over 50 years of study. The Gottmans have developed the ability to predict divorce with an impressive 90% accuracy, highlighting key indicators that often precede relationship breakdowns. Their discussion also touched on the strategies for repairing relationships, particularly in the aftermath of infidelity, and underscored the critical role of connection in maintaining healthy partnerships. They addressed contemporary dating challenges, critiquing the limitations of dating apps and the prevailing myth of finding "the one." Additionally, they explored the factors that contribute to attraction, emphasizing the significance of self-esteem and recognizing gender differences. Effective communication emerged as a central theme, with the Gottmans stressing the importance of expressing feelings, showing gratitude, and understanding the "Four Horsemen" that can lead to relationship failure. The role of sex and intimacy was also examined, with insights on how to sustain a fulfilling sexual relationship. Furthermore, they discussed the implications of mental health on relationships, including the effects of insecurity and gaslighting, and the necessity of supporting individuals facing domestic violence. Ultimately, the Gottmans advocate for reflection and open communication as essential tools for nurturing healthy relationships and navigating the complexities of modern dating. #Relationships #Communication #MentalHealth #Dating #Attraction #Infidelity #ConflictResolution ---------------------- Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/eGyBDr3d
