Hey Lovelies 
I thought this might be useful - I created it in another life, I still use it with clients too. The idea behind it is exactly what it says on the tin; whenever you are going through positive or challenging times, you will have something tangible to work with. This is not something you should share with just anyone, you don’t need to share it at all; it is personal and unique to you so keep it to yourself and be honest, and you can upgrade it at any time, glitter and laminating is optional!
HANDOUT Circle of Support.pdf (50.3 KB)
It’s very simple - the template shows a circle with 8 sections, and in each section, you write the name of a person, organisation or website address that you could go to. Who or where would you go to in these situations:
1.Really Happy - if something really good happened, who would you tell?
2.Want to Talk - about something a little deeper than the weather.
3.Occupation - whether you’re a stay at home parent or a high-flying executive, who do you talk to about it?
4.Want to Have Fun - whether it’s a person or a game is up to you!
5.Lonely - when you need to connect, where or to whom do you go?
6.Crisis - this can be a supportive person, your GP, local hospital, the Samaritans, anywhere you can get help if you feel a crisis on the horizon.
7.Sick - most people put their GP here, but don’t forget to include alternative methods that you prefer too.
8.Personal problem - when it’s a subject you can’t talk about with just anyone!
The most important thing is to be honest, so that your Circle is accurate; you don’t want to look at it and think ‘well I can’t go there’ or ‘I can’t talk about that here’. Your support system will change as you do, so check it from time to time to check in with yourself, make sure it’s always ready when you need it. Love and light to all x
