Michelle Y Wakerell - Hypnotherapy for Change

Hello there,
My name is Michelle Wakerell and I am a qualified, registered and accredited Counsellor, Psychotherapist and Clinical Hypnotherapist.

I am a qualified and accredited Counsellor, Psychotherapist and Clinical Hypnotherapist - helping you to make the changes that you want to make to live your best life! Perhaps the greatest battle we face in life is the one within ourselves, however we can win that battle......a life beyond the limitations of fear and self doubt. I have come to understand over the years that we all have amazing potential and untapped resources within us to make the changes we want. All we need is an open mind, willingness to learn and the courage to try new ways of thinking and behaving. I am blessed to be able to both live and work from my beautiful wee “off-grid” cottage on the side of a mountain in the stunning West Highlands of Scotland. Because of this, I am able to offer therapy that is as flexible as I am, and as unique as you are. Your therapy will either be from my cottage, or out amongst the beauty that surrounds us, or a combination of the both. Alternatively you may prefer to work from the comfort of your own home online with me - many clients find this more convenient as they do not have to consider the cost or time involved in travelling - this has allowed me to work with clients from around the world. You really can live a healthier and happier life............

Friday "thoughts"…….

Be the girl on the right - because in reality you ARE the girl on the right.

You are not the same as everyone else!

You are a unique individual walking your own personal journey through life in your own shoes.

You will have your own experiences - and your own perception of reality.

You will have your own beliefs, thoughts, feelings and emotions.

When you stop comparing yourself to everyone else and learn to love yourself for all that you are and for all you have yet to be - you can begin to really live your best life ❤️

It can be hard to think clearly when you feel anxious.

Sometimes anxious thinking can make us believe negative thoughts that are untrue or make us do things that make the anxiety worse.

It can be helpful to break or interrupt your anxious thoughts so that you are able to think clearly and react appropriately to your thoughts-

* Sing a silly song about the anxiety to an upbeat tempo (ie Happy Birthday), or speak your anxieties in a funny voice.

* Choose a nice thought to focus on instead of the anxiety. This could be a person you love, your happy place, or even something you look forward to doing.

* Listen to music or read a book.

Be conscious when you shift your attention from the anxiety to a task at hand, and notice how the anxiety dissipates and how much better you feel.

Change can be much easier than you think ❤️

You are enough ❤️

If you have a significant other and you both celebrate Valentines Day - I wish you a beautiful day full of special moments and love.

However, if you are alone - seeing all the public sharing of love - and the exposure that the media gives it on this day every year, may lead you to feel further alone and possibly isolated today.

Don’t let it!

Give yourself the greatest gift - and LOVE yourself.

If possible, treat yourself to some special actions or gestures to remind yourself of just how special - and unique you are.

Even taking time out of your day and going for a walk out amongst nature with a flask of hot tea……..or running a deep frothy bath with some candles and soothing music can work wonders for the heart, mind, body and soul.

Be “in love” with you - not just today - but also on the other 364 days of the year - because you know what? You are a pretty special being ❤️

Most of us enjoy a glass or two of our favourite tipple, but did you know that drinking alcohol substantially increases your risk of developing cancer, including but not limited to cancers of the mouth (oral cavity), throat (pharynx), and voice box (larynx), Esophageal Cancer, Bowel Cancer, Liver Cancer and Breast Cancer.

Alcohol also has many other detrimental effects on our bodies eg reducing its ability to process and absorb nutrients, weight gain, liver damage, aging and overall body fatigue.

Often people think that they are not drinking enough to be at risk, however studies have shown that even light drinking can be linked to cancer.

So, in a nutshell, if you drink - you are increasing your risk for developing cancer amongst other things.

However, there is also good news - because as soon as you cut back (or stop) - you are then decreasing that risk.

Making that change can be easier than you
think ❤️

Life can often toss you down and make you fall out of the blue, but the hope you keep inside of you will pick you up again and again.

Hope helps make the changes possible - and change can be easier than you think ❤️

I'm a great advocate of mindfulness - I share it with my clients, and also use it regularly myself.

When being mindful and "in the moment" we narrow our attention to the task in hand - closing off from that which is going on around us.
When we do this and stay in the moment - we stop thinking about the past or future - and are able to not feel anxious.

However, if you struggle with being "mindful" here is something completely opposite - which also stops anxiety.

Anxiety is usually triggered or continued with our internal dialogue.

Pick a spot to stare at and then soften your focus.
Now slowly begin to expand your peripheral vision to include all the space around the spot.
Keep your eyes on the spot and continue to expand your vision even further to the sides including up to the ceiling and down to the floor.
Expand it even more so that you can imagine now becoming aware of the space behind you.
Bring your attention back to the spot to finish.

To begin with this may feel a little strange, but after practicing a few times, you will notice a feeling of calmness coming over both your mind and body as you notice your internal dialogue has stopped.

I use it with my clients who have anxiety because it quickly allows them to move awareness from the inside where there is their internal chatter, to the outside where there is none.

The beauty of it is that it can be done at anytime and anywhere - and nobody need know you are doing it ❤️

Just a thought ……..what if we had emotional support dogs instead of therapists? 😂

Change can be easier than you may think ❤️
