Some Art Foundation courses are free if they're part of a HE college, and some are paid for (if at a uni).
I'm looking for either type but ones that are high quality and hopefully have a mixed age of students as I am quite a bit older that 16-18!
So I'm not exactly 'long term' but I can't find another appropriate place to post so I hope it's ok to post here.
I've been feeling very emotional since my last session and negative thoughts and limiting beliefs have been surfacing. I've been feeling a kind of grief too, completely identifying with the content of the negative thoughts (eg. 'Other people are able to do that but I never will. I will never achieve my dreams. I will never find satisfaction in myself' etc etc).
I've been wondering why I've been feeling all this and if it has anything to do with TRE. I've also recently started breathwork.
I've done a lot of trauma therapy over the years.
I am wondering if actually, reframing what is happening, that the beliefs are coming into focus more so that I can let them go, or begin to move on from them. Interpreting the thoughts in that way suddenly makes me feel empowered and positive. I wondered what other people thought?
In England, it seems that funding is available for Level 3 courses. This is called the Advanced Learner Loan - this pays for tuition fees usually and it is Plan 5.
However, when I look at Student Finance Wales, there is no direct equivalent and you cannot get an Advanced Learner Loan if the course is in Wales.
Anyone know more about this?
Thanks
My crutch from literally around 4/5 years old was food. I would eat in secret and would feel enormous shame, but it was the thing that kept me going, looking back. Both my parents were unsafe and food was my constant.
Nowadays, I've done so much healing but I'm still overweight because of the overeating.
Can we heal from this? Has anyone?
I've done a lot of nervous system regulation and I am much less anxious, but still this problem remains
I've been doing TRE a few months and I find it relaxing, but that's about it so far.
One of the main things in my life that I struggle with is the tendency to overeat, it goes way way back into the beginning of my life, growing up in a family where there was domestic abuse.
Has anyone noticed a shift in negative patterns that they've had since very early childhood?
I know that continuing TRE will only be good for me but I kind of need a little boost of motivation/belief to continue to commit to the practice.
Thank you
Exploring this at the moment. I assume I don't get a maintenance loan the second time around, especially because it is OU so classed as distance learning (is that correct?)
Are you generally expected to work alongside a full time OU degree?
Thank you for any advice
