A Poem about my little book of poems!
My simple poems are designed to help and comfort you
They show we all have times of struggle, times when we feel blue
Depression, loss, anxiety, a childhood full of pain
Addiction, change, bereavement, learning how to start again
The Little Book of Help - it covers all these things and more
In verses that are simple and are really not a bore
Good mental health is vital if we want to feel our best
Yet sometimes it’s impossible to verbalise distress
Poor mental health can feel like you have no words to explain
The reasons why you feel so bad, or how to describe pain
So read my words and maybe they will make some sense at last
Allowing you to slowly heal and understand your past.

I've been sharing my poems about the various aspects of life that can affect our mental health for quite a few years now. You can often find them on my Facebook Business Page
When we're stressed, depressed, tired, vulnerable, angry etc., it can be really hard to verbalise what we're thinking and feeling.
For me, writing a simple poem helps to make sense of the jumble of thoughts I often get bouncing around my head. It's a real relief to get them down on paper into a poem so that I can say "Yes! That's what I've been trying to say!"

I can feel the same when I read others' poetry, it just has a way of summing up so much easily. Let's face it, when we're struggling, the last thing we feel like doing is reading a whole book of text, we just don't have the bandwidth to take in too much information.
“Wow, this is really powerful and very, very close to my heart how I’m feeling put perfectly into words.”
My poems are not your Shakespeare or Wordsworth type poetry - they are simple rhymes that tell a quick story that resonates if you've been through, or are still going through a similar experience.
This often enables people to find their OWN words to sum up their experiences, just like they have for me.
So, if you enjoy working creatively with clients, or you find solace in poetry, or you're also having trouble finding the words to describe how you're feeling, then take a look through 'The Little Book of Help'.
"Your poems are exquisite"

"It's a can't put down read - everyone will relate to it"
So what's it all about? The "Official Blurb"
"Are you the kind of person who is always “FINE?”
For example, if someone were to ask, “How are you?”, would you reply “Oh, fine thanks”, even if you’re going through the worst time of your life, feeling like absolute crap and are on the verge of a total meltdown?!
Why is it that so many of us just cannot find the words to tell it like it is and get the help we need?
Why can we have such a block when it comes to talking about our mental health?
This is where 'The Little Book of Help' comes to the rescue.
Therapist, Samantha Lee, has been there, done that and could set up shop with all the bloody t-shirts!

After years of living with anxiety and panic attacks, sudden bereavement, an impressive list of relationship disasters and finding herself a Single Mum at the age of 42, she’d had enough of that sh*t and decided to train as a therapist.
Gradually, through her own experience with therapy, she realised that she had become a 'pro at convincing herself and others that she was fine. She slowly learnt that she had never really dealt with the things in life that had caused her pain.
So Samantha started writing basic poetry to help her find the right words, because although Therapist is her Job Title, she’s still a perfectly imperfect human who must get through life’s curveballs the same as anyone else.
She uses simple poetry that anyone can understand, to help make sense about the key areas of life that we can ALL struggle with, leading to the creation of beautifully authentic poems that captivate, resonate, comfort, and soothe.
The poems tell the story of some of Samantha’s own journey, both as a client and as a therapist, together with some of the areas her own clients have worked through over the years.

"Wow, this is really powerful"
The Little Book of Help - It's like therapy in a poem, without the waiting list!
The Little Book of Help - Poems to raise awareness of common mental health issues
Samantha’s poems are an accessible way of starting to look at difficult feelings from the safety of your own home, gradually helping you to pluck up the courage to start making changes. It might encourage you to start sharing how you feel with your loved ones. Even being able to show them a poem and saying "That's how I feel."
"A Calming and therapeutic read about daily struggles"
Hope through Difficult Times
.I really hope that you and your loved ones will find comfort, hope and a way to move forward after reading my "Little Book of Help."
