    Hi All,

    I know someone who is mentally exhausted,work,marriage,college etc..stressed to the eyeballs.
    She is seeing a psychologist

    I was wondering if anyone could recommend a week away, sort of like a retreat where she can get total rest & relaxation?

    Obviously a holiday would be good, maybe a week in a health spa etc..

    I think she needs a total break from everything, phone switched off.

    I will also post on Psychology forum.

    Any suggestions welcome

    Thanks

    Hi,

    I haven't checked the responses on the Psychology forum, but will give my own opinion(s) here:

    I believe that a week away would not work for her because - if she is as stressed as you say - she will not be able to relax at all when on it. Her problems might be deeper-rooted. Perhaps it would be best if she could just learn to do the things you've mentioned now (in her regular life). For example: Switching phone off whenever she's getting too stressed; getting rid of things (and people) that only add weight to her mind; etc. It can be very liberating to learn to say 'no' to people too.

    Kevin
