Does the feeling within match the outward appearance?

If not, why not? Are you masking your anxiety?

Masking anxiety is the act of suppressing or hiding outward signs of anxiety to appear "normal," which can involve forcing calm behaviour, mimicking others, hiding stimming, and over-preparing for social situations.

While masking may help navigate social situations, it is exhausting and can lead to chronic stress, emotional burnout, identity confusion, and even worsen anxiety and depression.

Becoming stuck in your anxiety creates a false identity... it's not who you are.

The great thing is that you can build confidence and become YOU again 💛

Overthinking? Stuck in a cycle of repetitive, unhelpful thoughts?

Sleep struggles, irritability and low mood affecting your focus and enjoyment of life.

If I say it doesn't have to be this way, would you believe me? If the answer is no, then you're exactly the person who has become used to functioning (or not) in the primitive part of your limbic system.

That obsessive, catastrophising, frustrating, hyper vigilant part of your brain that is only helpful when you are in real danger. Not when you're simply living your day to day life.

You absolutely can change and hypnotherapy is a simply brilliant way to support that change.

Needles. So many things they do well.

Dentistry, aesthetics, vaccinations.

They're not particularly pleasant, but not being able to have an injection can cause a worse situation.

Fear is a primitive brain emotion. All of those irrational thoughts about what might or could happen.

Hypnotherapy helps you to access a different part of your brain. The part that's rational, calm and in control.

If a needle phobia, or any other phobia for that matter is negatively impacting you, get help to change the thought patterns.

Autumn leaves falling from the trees signifies the winds of change, quite literally.

As we move into the season of winter it brings its own challenges and joys.

What does winter mean to you?

Any change, whether a season, a life event, a change in circumstances can be great! Even if it doesn't seem so at first.

Because feeling good about change is never about the ideal situation, it's how we think about things.

Neuroscience tells us that what we tell our brains, repetitively, inspires the wiring of neural pathways and enables is to feel and see positively.

However, if you're stuck in a cycle of negative thinking, experiencing poor sleep and constantly on 'high alert', it may feel like a struggle to change that thinking.

Solution focused hypnotherapy can work fairly quickly, so don't accept being stuck 💛

OK, so this is a fairly obvious one on a Halloween Friday!

Irrational fears and phobias, do you have any? Notice the word IRRATIONAL.

That's because fears and phobias are primitive brain responses i.e. not logical, even if you've encountered a previously not so great experience with your fear/phobias.

Solution focused hypnotherapy works to break through that debilitating feeling that could be stopping you from enjoying things you'd otherwise want to do.

Each Friday, I'll post a fear of phobias I've helped clients overcome... and some may surprise you!

For help to move past your fear or phobias, drop me a message to arrange your free initial consultation.

Mind racing?
Thinking the same repetitive thoughts in the hope you'll find peace?
Sleep affected?
Irritable?

Want that to change?

Overthinking is a nervous system defence. The primitive brain mistakenly believes that you need to be on high alert.

Mistakenly, because unless you're in imminent danger, there's no reason for overthinking to rule your life and mood.

Solution Focused hypnotherapy is BRILLIANT in enabling you to break that cycle.

The result? Calm, focused, sleeping well, better communication, positive impact on relationships.

How about that.

Today I did something I love!

WELLmind is one of the businesses who sponsor , which means Sara and the team kindly let me visit and help out.

Just being around these amazing creatures fires off all the positive neurotransmitters I need to have a happy day.

Indulging my passion, even for a short time, gives me so much. If you've lost sight of the things you love to do..... start them again.

If you're nervous about starting again.... Just do it that first time, with no pressure, and remember why you loved it.

If you want to do something lovely and rewarding too, maybe consider sponsoring an organisation that does something you love or are proud of.

And yes... it helps that I love the smell of horse poo!
