I love the word ‘holiday.’ Because for both of us it seems it wasn’t a holiday but more a ‘retreat of discovery.’ It’s lovely to hear you found a safe place to really deal with your emotions and accept them. At the end of the day – it’s not about others anyway is it really – it’s what we got from it. I guess you could always tell your friends and family the ‘holiday’ was amazing but being alone was a real challenge. I totally feel your pain and joy at the same time! x

It was my first ever holiday from work (I work ridiculously long, pressure filled hours) and time away for that long from my child (and I’m on my own so had to rely on my parents to babysit). I struggled so much with guilt, which I do daily anyway! I think I cried / teared up everyday for the first 4 days! It was so overwhelming but not in a negative way. I think because there are no other distractions too you have no choice but to confront those emotions and deal with them or accept them. I think the hardest thing is explaining this to people upon my return when they asked me how my holiday was!! Had a great time though….pity I can’t do it once a month! X

Oh Elle! There are SO many good options. If you are worried, maybe start with a 2 night stay like I did – it will absolutely motivate you to return for a 5 or 7 day detox no doubt but give you a little breather to allow you to step into what will be. You will LOVE it. x

Do you think it’s best to have a short stay and go back for a longer stay first? The emotional vulnerability part terrifies me and I also hate crying which makes me wonder if 5 days might be too much too soon?
Thank you for sharing Nat, always feel I can trust what you say and that it’s not censored or manufactured ❤
