New subbie here. Glad I found your channel. Coloring helps get my mind off obsessing over things of which I have no control. Your calendar is looking so lovely!

💛🧡❤️

❤❤❤

How are you? Was this your last video you posted?

It’s so good to eat from you and I can’t believe that a therapist has done this to you! What an abuse of trust!

It’s lovely to see you again. I’m so sorry to hear about all your health problems and do hope you will get some help soon .

That was so articulate. I completely agree, understand, sympathise, and have the same experience etc. It’s bonkers going into an eight minute long appointment which can only be for one thing when you have a laundry list of comorbid conditions which will all be impacting the thing you are there to talk about and it’s treatment. I have the added delight of having many of them on the multi years long waiting lists so they are not officially on my records yet either. Yay. I had to start seeing a new therapist and say, ‘for the purposes of this discussion could we please entertain the possibility that I have the following developmental disorders, otherwise not a lot of this conversation will make sense’ . He looked sceptical for about five minutes. I think he’s now convinced about my self diagnosis of those particular items! But the physical health stuff is such a grind. And trying to deal with it alll when you are ill, which is why you need the help in the first place. And they just assume things like picking up the phone and calling someone is an easy thing to do. It’s going to take me two weeks of energy to do that on top of trying to work. Seriously. Phone calls break me. And then when I get through and they won’t listen while I try and explain. Grrrrrr. I’m not good on the phone but they don’t like emails etc. And then when you finally get an appointment and a medication (after about eight years, not kidding, data entry mistake apparently )you turn out to be allergic to it…..that was my last year! Lost a stone and wrecked my digestion and made my hair fall out and increased my migraines. Nice. Still have to try and get back into that system to get a different medication. So I’m sending supportive hugs. The system is very broken at the moment. There are some great people in it, but there are some a**holes too. And it is definitely not user friendly. I hope having us to vent to can be a bit of a pressure release. We all need a bit of that. I just watched your previous video on the unprofessional therapist, how horrific. I’m so sorry you were put in that position. My first therapist made a point of telling me at the outset that he had his own therapist/supervisor who he was supported by, and that all therapists were supposed to. As other commenters said, that is who your therapist should have been talking to, not you. I’m so glad you made that video, hopefully it will have raised some awareness for others of what it looks like when that system falls apart. When to walk away from a therapist or ask to speak to someone else at a practice etc. because it’s not something many people know to look out for. That was extremely brave of you to do, and I think you’ve potentially helped people. I hope there is some light at the end of the tunnel for you.

I have been going for the same sort of saga and multiple doctors and health issues on many areas. Its so overwhelming and i totally feel your words. Im like this since 2021 and still fighting. Its gonna be ok. Trust your strenght even when its very low, is all i can say 💕

What a terrible experience. I would have been shattered too. How unprofessional of her. I hope that you can soon come back and I look forward to seeing you. I'll subscribe so I'll know when you do 😊

Hi! Thanks for the review. I can't find this pattern to buy anywhere. The link doesn't work anymore. (

Merry Christmas

It’s so good to see you back! I hope you feel up to sharing more regularly again soon and I’m glad your current therapist has supported your return.

Therapists are there to help you, not make you feel like you do/did. To make you feel even worse than you were already feeling is,unprofessional and contradictory to their purpose of helping people. She should never have spoken to you about her feelings about you! Therapist's have their own mentor/ support that they talk to to unpack all the traumatic stuff they have to listen to this person is NOT their patients. Life's hard enough for you it seems without having to deal with that kind of stupidity. Get back to doing what you love. Time will help and it sounds like you've got a good therapist now. All the very best with your mental health healing😊

Oh Lucy, my lovely, you have done nothing wrong. I know it doesn’t matter if 1000 people say that when the washing machine of thoughts gets going and you can see no way round it. I am so glad to see you. Scripted isn’t you 😊 but in this case was the correct choice, please trust yourself. I so hope it will not be long before we see you again. Take care my lovely, Merry Christmas if you celebrate, peace & kindness to you. x

I'm here, I hear you and I'm 100% backing you up. In this day and age internet is not a "separate space" from our daily lives and should be treated (for better or worse) as a component of all the "load" we have to wash with healthcare providers. If it affects us in any shape or form, it is a part of us. Said that, you should not be rerestricted of what you decide to share on your platforms because you would not do the same if you were talking to a friend for example. What people have to realize is that there is unethical people and they will not stop just because it is "the interwebz", would she call every single patient who have shared something about therapy with their friends? Oh wake up lady! You felt attacked over a work related problem go seek the proper meanings and report it, we don't seek mental health care at a restaurant, do we? My gosh the world we live in that we have to treat our own therapist 🤣 There are a lot of bad professionals in every field, and heck I just spent 2 years on a heavy anti depressant feeling like a zombie every day because following along my chronic depression I had undiagnosed ADHD and if the medication doesn't fit the state I'm in mentally my world turns either to "crazy town" or "the walking dead" pretty quickly 😆 all of it because adding to the lack of appointments during a 2yr period my psychiatrist didn't bother to look deeper into what I was experiencing. My new one took care of me like no other, listened and adapted, and just simply is in the right field 😍 I have to learn to accept what I cannot change and learn to live the best life I can with it having the support of a trained professional to teach and guide me. We need support, in every aspect of our lives, we don't need more problems, and if we have to vent on social media we will just so we can take it out of us and put it to the universe. What other people understand/think about what we share should not be our problem to bear. They deal with their problems, we deal with ours and support people we feel a connection to. Again, I'm here for you, my adhd LOVES to overshare, and even living in Portugal just give it a shout and I'll be here, love 😘 keep strong and I'll be here adventuring my way to begin coloring my mind out ☺

You have nothing to be embarrassed and ashamed about. You did nothing wrong. She was in the wrong. Don’t give her opinion any value.

We all missed you. It sounded like your therapist needed a therapist.i. I’m glad that you got another one. Don’t feel bad about something that she chose to do. Whoever she is, she had no business doing that to you and shouldn’t be a therapist. Hugs.

I hope you post again. I'm agoraphobic too and it's nice to see and hear from someone else who understands what my life is like. I also hope you post again because you got so much out of it before your old therapist did that horrible thing to you.

Dear Lucy, I'm so glad to finally hear from you again, after suspecting that you must have gone through an even rougher patch during your absent time. There's always the danger of not getting a suitable councillor/therapist, and I'm really happy for you that you were able to change them and found somebody who is not only working with you through your original issues, but also helped/helps you to repair the damage the previous therapist caused. Let me give you a big virtual hug and wish you all the best. Btw, nothing wrong reading from your script, I certainly wouldn't have been able to do this unscripted at all! Until next time! 😁

I'm so sorry you've have had to go through this, and your reaction is completely valid. I've been through a lot of therapy. Enough to know without question the way she treated you was completely unprofessional, and unacceptable at every level. Especially given the fact you had done absolutely nothing wrong. Not only should she have spoken with her supervisor first, but she should never have rang you like that, even if you had done something wrong. That was never a conversation to have over the phone. I was so relieved when I got to the part where you said you have changed therapists. For anyone reading it is important to know that in the short term you can feel worse during therapy, because you are opening up old wounds, going places mentally that frighten you, and can retraumatise you. A good therapist will talk you through it, and explain this. It can be terrifying, and she would have, or definitely should have known you were extra vulnerable. I really, really hope that this video helps you to move forward. Your subscribers care, and I for one missed you. Hugs from across the Irish Sea ❤

💛🧡❤️

Lovely to see and hear from you again 💗💜💗

💜

Lots and lots of love to you ❤️ So strong of you to be able to talk about this, there is nothing right to be treated like that. I hope you will recover and that you will be able to start your coloring here again in your time. I have missed you and your videos. Lots of love and hugs to you ❤️🤗❤️🤗

❤❤all your feelings are completely normal in that situation and I’m sorry that you had to deal with a break in trust and in a lot of ways intrusion ! First off my feelings would be the exact same - you build up a trust with a therapist and a lot to unlock that you wouldn’t always share with those you love to protect them from worrying - I feel it was COMPLETELY out of line and unprofessional to even make you feel that you had hurt her - that you had to worry about posting on YOUR outlet / channel - and that she even managed to put herself in your sessions as the one who was having to speak about her feelings- therapists imo should not do that - it’s an unbiased session. - a build on trust - a build on how to work with you and unlocking what works to HELP you - not further affect your life in a negative way ! Let’s hope now you have a positive relationship with a therapist and built that trust again - that your channel can become a place you enjoy again . Especially with a hobby you find peace and happiness with … and a community you can interact with / build friendships and connections ! Welcome back Lucy and I am glad to see you pop up in my notifications ! I hope you build your confidence again and find happiness in posting again ❤

Aw bless you , sending big hugs from someone who has a teen with huge anxiety this would have had a huge impact on her mental health too. I hope you can move on, well done for being brave and posting today I bet it wasn't easy xx

Always remembered this and am glad that I found it again. I am still subscribed, so I will enjoy finding some of your videos that I have missed. You did a really beautiful job of blending here, and I loved seeing a new way of doing the job much more quickly than the endless layering usually done to create the same result that you just did so quickly! Thank you for sharing!

I have always loved your unboxing and flip through videos. I find them relaxing. Are you coming back?

Thank you! Great!❤

I'm in the US but just ordered 3 of her books in UK edition because of the binding. I wanted the sewn binding because it lays down more flat. My rooms of wonder book is difficult to color in the seams.

Lovely review, Lucy. Do you still post on your channel?…I do hope that you are doing well. I suffer from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and also prefer staying at home rather than venturing forth much; and your channel is so welcoming and soothing and UNDERSTANDING. Thank you for all of your work.

Enjoyed this video immensely and learning about the publishing differences..thank you so much for teaching me about the differences on this book..mikelle art mom🎨👩‍🎨✍

Some people who give unsolicited advice are controlling, advoidant, or have a savior complexes. They want to feel better about themselves by having control over someone else.

Just learning about the colorist world and your assessment is so appreciated. Your thoroughness is absolutely impressive!! Also, your voice is very calm and makes your video a relaxing experience. Thank you for all your hard work!!!

thank you so incredibly much Lucy. Ive been putting it off and not wanted to bother you, but may I ask your thoughts on the editions? paper differences etc. Most importantly, I really hope you are ok and hope you will be getting the rooms of wonder soon (not necessarily for a review- just to enjoy yourself... I hope that makes sense xxx ) Thank you so incredibly much for all your amazing videos xx

Good review! Thank you! Lovely book!

Just received the UK version. It is printed in China. The paper is yellowish, and the print and page appear a bit dull. If I turn the page up halfway, then in the blank spaces on the page, I can see the print of the drawing on the next page. The illustrations are lovely, but the paper and print have made this highly anticipated book purchase a complete letdown.

Late to the bandwagon, but thank you for sharing this. I've recently seen this book and didn't want to buy the wrong one! Knowing the Dutch one, I can get hold of, is very similar is great. Thank you - the artwork really is stunning in the book.

uk for sure- because I love the dust jacket - I could do with smaller images. ( I would have bought the US edition if not for the jacket ) and as always the video super helpful thank you!!!

Hi can you tell me please wat the paper texture is like for the magical jungle book? Is the texture like Hannah karlzon books because I love the texture of those

Well what a rubbish situation. It would not be appropriate for me as a complete stranger and absolutely not a mental health professional to think that I can say anything which is actually helpful. But I can tell you what I observed from the outside as somebody who has watched you for a few years. Today, you made it out of bed. You put on clothes. You spoke to us about deeply personal things. You helped other people by helping us feel that we are not the only ones who are struggling. You were clear and articulate and even though you do not feel it, you sound confident, you sound knowledgeable, and you sound like somebody we all want to know. Every grain of sand that you work on is not just about the grain of sand. You are also learning how to work on your grains of sand. I sincerely hope that your brain starts to learn this process and you are able to smash them up and create beautiful glass with the reminants. Personally, I found therapy absolutely exhausting. At the time I wasn't sure it was helpful. Over time I started to realise I was able to talk about my problems more easily and more articulately. This enabled me to do my own research and find things which might help me. This was a godsend when the pandemic started and my therapy was withdrawn. Wishing you the very best, whatever that looks like for you at the moment. Thank you for being there for us. I hope in a small way us being here helps you too.

Merci beaucoup. Ce fut un plaisir de suivre ce tuto et de faire ce colo en ta compagnie.

Good to hear from you Lucy, and I’m glad you’ve been able to start therapy. I hope you find it useful. I don’t think you sounded paranoid when you spoke about the conversation with the psychiatrist, I have also found them to be very patronising and unhelpful in the past and would be reluctant to speak with one again! I also experienced trauma without realising it ‘counted’ and it’s only my current therapist who has helped me to see it clearly. Sending you all the best and well done for being so open and honest about how life is for you at the moment x

Sending u big hugs hope you feel better soon I do miss your colouring videos but don’t feel like you have to rush we will always be here xxx

I personally like to spiral bind my copies so I don’t have trouble with the binding and it’s easier to color too

Lots of love and hugs to you Lucy ❤️❤️❤️
