the thought of paying for therapy gives me anxietyI believe talking therapy has a place. But there are two provisions- you have to 'want' to do it, and you have to genuinely have time to do it. It's a date and a time every week or month which is reserved solely for you and that becomes quite a powerful thing for a lot of people I believe. It's a precious hour or two where you are able to sit down and talk about whatever you want. There is no pre-set agenda or the need to make 'progress'. It is also pretty cheap even if you want to do it privately (a real deal psychiatrist would be a lot more but still not ridiculous).
I do wonder if a day or two off farm or maybe even working for someone else might be useful for people here. I am blessed in that I am able to chop and change shifts in different places so I can get a change of scene as often as I like. A day away from your own farm might be useful and encourage the return of the 'fun factor' in farming?
