Spectrum For Change, Brackley (2026)

31/12/2025

Equivalences are a very interesting and enlightening topic when we understand them. They are the glue which holds a problem in our mind and creates the reactions or behaviours, the thoughts and feelings. Our minds create equivalences all the time, with or without our awareness and are our imagination unless we measure or seek solid evidence. They filter how we perceive a situation which is why one persons tone or words can be seen as help to some, condescending to some, or intimidation to others or maybe nothing to someone else.

Examples may include

“My dad was late for my football match, so I am not important” - the person might be feeling disappointment, let down, rejected
“She looked at me that way which means I am in trouble” - the person might be worried or fearful about getting into trouble
“You never looked at me when I was talking to you so you are ignoring me” -

These equivalences will add to an argument because they are all within our unconscious influencing how smoothly our day goes, how well we perform, the amount of stress we experience and so much more.

“You aren’t listening to me” says one person, “yes I am” says the other. At this point, the argument can perpetuate or escalate as more equivalences start distorting our perspective. In actual fact, if someone believes they are not being listened to, that is their truth and there will be feelings and a belief that supports what they say shaped by their life experiences. The other person may well have been listening and try to convince the other that they were and because the other person insists that they weren’t, that may well initiate something in the other and they may believe the other person is now being aggressive or not believing them which will also be supported by a belief, feelings and past life experiences. In this situation, there are two truths and denying the truth simply exacerbates the problem. How many of us have ended up in an argument and then wondered why we are arguing? This is how it can get out of hand and we don’t understand how we got from having a simple conversation and ending up in a full blown argument!

This is where it takes ownership and skill to separate what belongs to each person because wherever there is a reaction, there are emotions. Changing those allows us to go from have an argument to having dialogue. It takes the reactions out of a situation.

When we can stop blaming the other for making us feel certain things, and recognise that the feelings are ours, it puts us in a very powerful position because we can now use these reactive situations as an opportunity to learn about what is hidden with in us that needs resolving; as much as it might not feel nice, we can begin to see it as a gift. It becomes even more powerful when we have access to a model to locate what is driving the reaction and more importantly change it.

It’s these equivalences which determine the quality of the relationship we have with ourselves and with others. When someone doesn’t listen and there is no reaction, life becomes more peaceful as our nervous system is becoming more flexible. A person might not be listening but the equivalent of it meaning “I am not important” has gone so it just is what it is. Words make up the layers of our nervous system, and when our emotional connection to those words and life experiences go, the equivalences disappear along with the reaction. The only reason we react is because there is an emotional landing spot inside us and we can’t expect anyone else to know what they are.

So what is the driving force behind these equivalences and thoughts which sometimes occupy our mind and prevent us from letting go? More importantly, how can we change them in order to create more inner peace and harmony?

life is a journey, and there are some experiences that we go through that are tough, and some that are pleasant. That’s part of being human and our nervous system is accumulating all the time based on what we have experienced. For some, the nervous system becomes too full and they are no longer able to regulate their emotions and they might receive a diagnoses of depression, bi-polar, ADHD, a personality disorder or whatever else it might be. For us, these are symptoms of an accumulation of life, which can change - that’s our undeniable truth. Life will always offer its challenges and it’s the strength of our own nervous system and the ability to flex, that determines how well we deal with life.

The language we use is actually the key to the start of our change and they are every day life experiences like rejection, abandoned; bullying, lies, divorce, being ignored, criticism, judgement etc. All of these words hold feelings like anger, sadness, fear, guilt, hurt or anxiety. They also hold a limiting belief and in some cases, we may put up a barrier. Imagine, for a moment, that we have experienced rejection and because we are fearful of it happening again, we put a barrier up to keep ourselves safe; we may not even realise we have done that, yet, we might want a relationship. How can we have a relationship from behind a barrier?! This might even lead to self sabotage and ending relationships before they have had a chance to survive and we might not understand what is driving that behaviour.

We carry our past into every situation and whenever there are negative emotions and limiting beliefs involved, it can distort our perspective until the feelings change. We can have a reaction to someone and believe they are doing something, when in actual fact, they are simply a neurological reminder of something we have experienced before.

The best freedom we can have is the freedom we have on the inside because we carry our mind everywhere. Of course, we can avoid situations, stop doing certain things or going to certain places, but that means our world is getting smaller and it takes a lot of energy.

If you have any questions about this post, please feel free to ask and we will do our best to answer.

Do you have that one person in the office that really annoys you or upsets you or you just find yourself avoiding or not wanting to be in their presence, or maybe you find yourself just wanting to shout at them. Whatever the reaction, how would it feel if that person never impacted on you that way? What would happen if that person is simply a reminder of something else that happened to you way back when, maybe around your parents, or schooling, or friends.

And imagine, for a moment, what would happen if those feelings connected to that person were to change. How much peace would you find inside? How much more resilient would you feel?

What would be the impact on your stress levels and your happiness in the workplace? This is what we call the map, the person that's in front of you is what you are consciously aware of, and we could be forgiven for thinking it’s all about them - and, you are only two questions away of finding out what the territory is; what the root cause is. If you like, this is the symptom playing out, and we are simply regressing back to an old wound, somewhere in our life. Spectrum not only identifies the root cause of that, it changes our emotional connection to it which bind us, and quite often owns our mind as we can’t let go. The reason we can’t let go is because our mind is seeking an answer and it finds it when the emotions change.

It might be that you find the person is aggressive or is a bully. It might be you find them intimidating, or you feel rejected by them. Remember, our perception of the world is different to others and it can be distorted by our past and quite often is.

Whatever the word is, we can locate that word, and we can help you change on the inside; change your anger, the sadness, the fear, the guilt, the hurt, the anxiety, and whatever the limiting belief is in that moment, like I am not heard, or I am alone. When you have awareness and you have a model for change, that person actually becomes the greatest gift, if you want change, because they are providing a window into you, into something that needs resolving; after all, it’s our reaction; they are our emotions. If you want to know how to resolve it and lessen your stress levels, please reach out. We are happy to have a conversation and explain what Spectrum does and how it can help you.

There is one thing for certain, we can’t change others or what goes on around us, but we CAN absolutely change how we react to it on the inside. Imagine going through life, seeing the chaos around you, and it no longer touches you? What is that worth?

Do what you have always done and only ever get what you have always got. If you, like us, want change, call us.

We are getting our presence known and had our new sign delivered today. Thank you Heron Signs from Buckingham. Swift and excellent service 🙏💜

Come and meet Professor Stott, former Captain in the Army Physical Training Corps who served for thirty years. When he resigned, he trained, applied, reviewed and dissected many approaches to assess their efficacy for those who really had no where else to go.

- EMDR
- EFT
- DBT
- Master Trainer of NlP
- Trainer of Hyontherapy
- ILM/ICF coaching
- Timeline Therapy

He also explored counselling and CBT and sat with clinicical psychiatrists to understand how they came to their diagnosis.

He came to the conclusion that there was no effective model for getting rid of the emotions which bound people to their experiences. There were some great behavioural models and some approaches to assist with memories and feelings, but nothing comprehensive enough to move people to a different mindset.

This is when he developed his own model, ran research alongside it within complex demographics including Somalian Pirates, high security prisons, young offenders institutes, women’s refuges and veteran communities following some for over five years! There is peer reviewed and published research for those interested in that. He was worked alongside thousands of people. Twenty two years later, he was awarded a Professorship for his contribution and solution for mental health.

We have many irons in the fire to take this further and look forward to seeing where Spectrum goes over the coming years; something few are aware of, yet delivers results time and time again. I am honoured to support him and to have learned directly from him and embark on this exciting journey together. 🙏💜

Not only do we help people, we also run courses to teach people how to do it, all quality assured and uunderwriten.

Thank you for reading 🙏

Well done Professor Mick Stott 👏👏👏

….one of three professorship awarded today amongst 75 candidates who received doctorates. The Professorship not only recognises his personal contribution to the field of mental health but also as an expert in this field and someone who can teach and share his expertise. It was a shame that they forgot to bring his personal certificate! 😳

We both can’t wait to see how Spectrum unfolds over the coming years in terms of its recognition and its reach. 💜💜💜

04/12/2025

Our journey starts today as we fly to Dubai to receive the Professorship award at Mick’s convocation. An award that celebrates and acknowledges his contribution and solution for mental health. It’s a moment in history that at some point in the future, will be a notable date.

Mick places no emphasis on this award but one thing is for sure, it provides more credibilty for his genius and incredible solution for mental health - Spectrum Transition Coaching - launched at the University of Central Lancashire in 2013 and positioned as bridging the gap between coaching and therapy. He denied academia and psychology because he couldn’t see how the theories could be applied practically to get rid of emotions. This has taken immense courage to embark on this path and stand outside of the conventional and known approaches.

He’s unswerving determination for nearly twenty years, is commendable. He has sat down with the most complex of cases, one to one, in the middle of the night, sitting on bridges helping those who wanted to end their lives, he has helped people who have been written out of programmes because there was no answer for them, but now have somewhere to go, but many are unaware of it. It takes a lot of effort, drive, commitment that many would not have or would have given up on by now. I know I certainly would have. 🤣

His story of how he went from serving in the British Army for thirty years and then becoming interested in the mind, to the many disciplines he trained in, assessed, applied and dissected, to eventually developing, researching and applying Spectrum as a comprehensive model for emtional and behavioural change, will one day make an interesting read. We now embark on this journey together, getting this known and funded so that it becomes accessible to the masses. It will take time, but together we soldier on! 💪

He has had many hurdles to cross, and he carries on. I discovered the power of it in 2018 myself and started training in it and started helping others which is when I witnessed first hand how it impacts not only those who come to it, but their families and friends too. When one person becomes happier, it impacts on many people which can only be a good thing. ❤️

I have had the immense honour of working alongside him now for five years expanding and refining my skill set and am proud to call him my friend, my partner and my business partner.

We love what we do because we love people and I am excited to see what happens with Spectrum over the coming years.

Thank you for reading

Victoria 🙏💜

It’s interesting how many people come to us for a problem only to realise the things they thought they had resolved, haven’t been. Or maybe, the problem they thought they had had nothing to do with what was actually supporting it and the root cause. It takes questioning skills to trace the semantic links.

I remember this myself when I first found Spectrum and I told the lady that I had already had some therapy and sorted out some things, and she said to me “prove it”. I asked her what she meant, and she said “if you are happy to, go back to some of those memories. Immerse yourself in them”. I agreed, and to my surprise, I was in floods of tears. I

I was confused and surprised because I genuinely thought i had worked through it. She demonstrated a tiny sample of Spectrum with my daughter, which was compelling and I was immediately sold. My daughter had hurt her finger playing netball. It was swollen and throbbing with pain and she was quite upset. I wasn’t sure if she had broken it or not. Anyway, the lady asked her, with my permission, if she wanted to play with some words, which she agreed to. With no word of a lie, my daughter went from crying to poking her finger in bemusement as to where the pain had gone.
So I agreed to some sessions and after my first experience of Spectrum, it became very clear how comprehensive it was at clearing experiences layer by layer, emotionally. It became clear how it got to the root cause.

We had a lady today, who has been in therapy for two years, and firmly believed she had resolved the issues, but actually hadn’t.

This is not an uncommon story for us. If the root cause of any presenting issue is not only identified, but cleared out comprehensively, then it will remain there. Feelings have no logic. People can feel alone and know they are not alone. Knowing has logic - feelings don’t and they can be so debilitating until they have gone, and they can.

Abandonment issues can leave someone’s nervous system in 30 minutes; rejection can, bullying can, loss can, betrayal can. All these words which we describe our experiences hold neurology and form the subtle layers and building blocks of trauma/stress all stealing energy. They are inside, impacting us in ways we never thought possible until they are gone. They become familiar allies and to can be a strange place when things we have held onto for years go as they impact our thoughts, our stress levels, our triggers, our physical health and our capacity to be flexible in pressured situations.

If you have some things you would like to resolve, please reach out to us. We ar more than happy to have a conversation to help you understand how to works.

Our next change programme is on the 6th January to 9th January.

***de

This is the story of a man who suffered childhood trauma, who served in the army and had one significant operational tour in Afghanistan. His life took a turn for the worse as things became unbearable which led to a wong decision, that had mitigating circumstances, that left him in prison.

He then attempted su***de in prison. We were called to help him and it was my first visit into a prison and I will remember that day for the rest of my life. It left an imprint on me for many reasons but most of all for how he shifted emotionally after three hours of intense work. It was quite beautiful to eatch and facilitate someone resolving some significant events in their life and for light to enter their eyes and hope their heart.

Jono had been on observations four times a day and after our visit, he went to two observations a day because he was no longer on the su***de list. Prisons works on behaviour and prisoners are rewarded based on behaviour. Jono left the prison having been on maximum benefits and worked on the front desk. This is testimony to his desire to charge and commitment to change and to the power of Spectrum.

Jono is now out of prison, free of medication, free of suicidal thoughts and free from much of the torment that used to plague him mentally every day. This is what proper rehabilitation looks like.

Thank you Jono for your honesty, your courage and your testimony.

We have been at a men’s wellbeing day today with the Fireservice. It came as a surprise to the person who invited us that there were several men in the room who were suicidal. Men who they work alongside every single day and never knew. How can we know if people do not share? It can be difficult for men to share what is going on and of course, we can’t see into their minds.

We had our consultation pack with us and several came to sit with us at the end. This was quite something as it’s not often men open up and they did and over a third of the room came to speak with us.

The consultation process allows people to make sense of why they are feeling what they are as their life is literally laid out in front of them, layer by layer. It also identifies the level of need based on the cards selected which is really important particularly if they are presenting su***de. That in itself can be very enlightening. It’s a process that shines a light on what is going on inside our minds and can identify those who are really struggling, without the need to delve into any detail.

Of course, as much as this raises awareness, it’s more purposeful to be able to change those layers, emotionally. The only reason we cannot let go of things in our mind is because our feelings bind us to them. When those feelings change, along with the limiting belief, we can let go of them in our mind, reducing stress levels and allowing us to live life more happily and with greater strength without the need for coping mechanisms. Coping mechanisms take energy and time which could be spent doing things that we enjoy as opposed to keeping us safe.

We can have experiences that happen in an instant but can own our minds for life. That is not the case with Spectrum because any life experience we have had can be resolved freeing our minds. We know when we have changed because our story changes; things that once bothered us no longer bother us; thoughts that once tormented our mind or kept us busy changes and the triggers change. This allows us to navigate our day with more peace and less stress because we carry our mind wherever we go, so surely it’s something worthwhile investing in? We can distract ourselves as much as we like, and ultimately, it is still there, impacting on us, physically and mentally, subtly or not so subtly.

Talking is great, but there is no comprehensive mechanism for change and for those with a more loaded nervous system, it auite often retraumatises.

Spectrum is elegant in its approach as it requires no content. It simply requires honesty and a willingness to change. Our job is to identify the root cause of what people are feeling and provide them with the key to changing it.

We gave one man an experience at the end of the day and changed his feelings around mum, dad and loss. In the space of 1.5 hours, he felt lighter and could no longer find the feelings connected to those areas of life. He was more relaxed on this inside and his memories were more peaceful and were no longer hanging over him (his words not mine).

The power of Spectrum never ceases to amaze me and how quickly something can leave someone’s nervous system and mind.

The ripples that are spread from one persons happiness are extraordinary as it can impact on an entire family and beyond.

We are setting dates for our 3.5 day change programmes for next year. If you want to chat or ask questions, or want to book on one of these course, please make contact.

Have you tried everything and think there is nothing you can do and this is your life now? Are you tired of talking and getting no where? Well, maybe Spectrum is the answer you are looking for 🤔. Research backed, results based and non trauma focused. Maybe you are one conversation away from realising the impossible is actually possible. What do you have to lose?

Call Professor Mick Stott for a no obligation chat.

The quote is a very true statement - in theory. The more crucial question is how can this be achieved? Emotions are very real and can keep us locked in the past and worrying about the future preventing the enjoyment of the now. No logic can change the feelings. I know I am not alone but I feel alone. I know I am not stupid but I feel stupid. I know I am loved but feel unloved.

The now Professor Mick Stott created Spectrum to provide the how to many theoretical teachings, unlocking the layers of life experience, layer by layer, emotion by emotion and belief by my belief, allowing us to get back to who we were before our experiences, but even stronger, even happier.

People are amazed when they experience Spectrum how quickly things can change without the need to regurgitate the journey, because there is no purpose in doing that until the emotional attachment to the experience has gone. When they change, life itself changes. We create a new sychronicity because everything we hold in our unconscious is always playing out and that is what we attract.

It can feel a little unnerving because we can want change but our mind becomes familiar territory. Who will be be? The one thing that is guaranteed with Spectrum, what was previously thought impossible is possible.

Are you ready to create a new life based on a new mind? Probably the best freedom you can give to yourself.

One conversation with us could be the key to changing your life. We invite you to be curious.

At Spectrum for Change, we are interested in creating neuroflexibility; the ability for our minds to adapt to changing situations more quickly and with less stress. Quite often, our days don’t go to plan for various reasons that are out of our control or we get triggered by events around us which end up owning our mind as we can’t let go. The question is, how elegantly do we adapt to those changes? How fast can our mind adjust to a new day and how much or little stress do we experience as a result? How can we reduce our reactions?

The amount of flexibility our mind and nervous system has determines how stressful or not our day becomes and how effective we remain or not. Neuroflexibilty allows us to go with the flow, bending and shaping to the days challenges swiftly and calmly and remaining effective in the new demands placed upon us. Imagine being able to create a more responsive and flexible mind by getting rid of the stress. How much more energy would you have? How much happier would you be? What impact would that have on your personal life and in the work place?

In this fast pace world, filled with so many pressures, we can’t necessarily change what goes on around us, but we can absolutely change what goes on inside our minds creating more calm and peace amidst the chaos and stresses unfolding around us.

Our nervous system is moulded by our life’s experiences and those experiences changes us over time. They change how adaptable we are or not. There’s one thing for sure, the more control we need, the less we actually have. That’s quite a paradox. The less control we need, the quicker we adapt and the less stress we experience. It really is that simple.

So how do we let go of control and create more internal resilience and adaptabilty so that we can navigate life’s curve balls with greater ease?

If our minds have been shaped by experience and the accumulation of emotions and beliefs, it goes without saying, that if we can change the emotions and beliefs connected to these experiences, we can reshape or remould our nervous system.

This is what Spectrum was designed to do and it does it time and time again. It creates more strength, more happiness, more mental flexibility, more confidence and so much more, without the stress levels we used to have and we measure that through behavioural changes.
