🧠Are you a downer?
Do you find yourself focusing on the negative?
Do you dismiss the good things as unimportant?
Say you’ve had a great holiday including lovely meals, new experiences and quality time with your family. When asked how your holiday was do you reply “it was ok but the weather wasn’t great” or “It was a nightmare - one of our suitcases went missing!”
🧠Do you set yourself up to fail?
Are you a perfectionist who sets unrealistic targets?
Do you constantly fall short which reinforces your feelings of failure?
🧠Are you an all-or-nothing thinker?
Do you you catastrophise and blow things out of proportion?
If your boss asks for some amendments to a report - do you thoughts snowball and you think “I can’t do anything right?”, “I’m probably going to be fired”, “I’m useless at everything”?
Do you blame yourself?
Do you think that everything that goes wrong is your fault even though you have no control over it?
For example blaming yourself when your bus breaks down and you are late for work.
Do you predict failure?
🧠Are you a mind reader?
If a friend says they can’t make a gym class this week, do you think “I bet I’ve done something to upset them” or “I suppose they are going out with more interesting friends”?
🧠Or are you a fortune teller?
Do you think that there is no point going for a job interview as you will never get the job?
❤️If you find yourself trapped in repetitive or negative thoughts, constantly analysing every detail, or feeling stuck in an endless loop of “what ifs,” you’re not alone. Overthinking and obsessive thinking are common signs that your mind is working in overdrive — often fuelled by anxiety, stress or perfectionism.
The good news? You can train your mind to work for you, not against you.
❤️Solution Focused Hypnotherapy helps you shift from negative, repetitive thinking to calm, solution-focused patterns. By combining modern neuroscience with gentle hypnosis, we help reduce overactivity in the parts of the brain responsible for anxiety and rumination — allowing you to think clearly and feel more in control.
Hypnotherapy can help you to avoid negative thought patterns and overthinking by:
🌸Reducing overthinking and mental chatter
🌸Stopping you ruminating on the past or worrying about the future
🌸Improving focus and emotional balance
🌸Rebuilding confidence and calm
