We understand that long-term may not feel achievable for you right now, but Freeva are here to help you on your journey. We can work with you to reach any lifelong goals you may have, and help you to plan the route that is best for you.
Establishing Boundaries
Learn to set and maintain healthy boundaries, and communicate your needs clearly and assertively. Surrounding yourself with individuals who respect and support your boundaries is important. Don’t worry if you don’t yet feel ready for this step; setting boundaries is a long-term goal, and we can support you in working towards this if you are struggling.
Build Your Support Network
Grow a group of friends, family, or supportive people that you feel heard, safe, and comfortable around. It’s important to have people around you that understand your experiences. By sharing your feelings with others, asking for help when you need it, and surrounding yourself with positive influences, you can form a trusted circle of people that help you to feel validated, valued and supported.
Setting Goals
Being able to establish long-term goals for yourself can help you regain a sense of control and purpose. Remember to celebrate achievements and milestones along the way, no matter how big or how small – they are all worthy of recognition!
