I love collecting stories from my travels .

In Peru, there’s a story about llamas. Historically and even now they are used as pack animals to transport goods around the mountains. A llama can carry 26kg . If they are loaded up with any more weight, they simply lay down and refuse to move until the weight is back down to 26kg or less.

Many people I work with have or are carrying so much. And like that llama, one more thing has occurred that has tipped them over. The proverbial straw so to speak but in this case a llama rather than a camel. It’s understandable they don’t feel the greatest . There’s only so much we can carry before we collapse, before we need help .

Experiences and feelings mount up until it all becomes too much. You feel so weighed down by life. There’s no room for enjoyment. Life becomes hard work.

Let’s lighten that load. Help you find joy again. And peace. Give me a call and let’s chat about how I can help .

Remembrance Day. We remember the courage and sacrifice of those who served and who still serve .

At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them.

This is a member of my family who fought and was killed in the First World War. I often think of the horrors he must have seen, of the fear of going ‘over the top’ and of mustard gas, being injured, the noise of the barrage which could have killed and maimed at any minute. I cannot even begin to imagine what it would have been like.

We had his letters, heavily censored of course, which showed even when away from the front line, he displayed signs of what was then known as shell shock, which we now know as PTSD. I remember him when I work with people with PTSD diagnosis and feel so sorry for those soldiers who had no help and were often dismissed by the powers that be as having ‘a lack of moral fibre’. Those that survived often never recovered.

Albert was killed in 1917. As a family we visited his grave in France, the first of his family to do so.

He gave his tomorrow for our today .

Sunshine after a grey Friday!

Science has proven that being out in nature helps lower stress, anxiety , soothes the central nervous system, helps on so many levels and in so many ways.

The colours are beautiful right now. Take a moment to go outside, your garden, a park, the countryside . Pause for a moment .

Notice what you see.
Notice what you hear.
Notice what you smell.
Notice the calm .

I’m safe right here, right now. This one phrase can calm the central nervous system quickly.

Repeat it several times a day and notice what happens.

Your mind can talk you into panic mode with just two little words:

What if?

What if it all goes wrong ?
What if I feel scared ?

Then your heart starts racing, you’re thinking of all the worst case scenarios that could happen. You’re in panic mode. You feel unsafe.

‘What if’ activates the mind’s internal alarm system to look for danger and threats rather than solutions.

But what if you could flip that switch ? Help your nervous system to feel safe. With two words… even if .

Even if it goes wrong, I’ll learn something from it.
Even if I feel scared, I’ll be ok.

You’re only changing one word but your mind hears it as safety rather than danger . It breaks the catastrophic thinking loop.

Simple yet effective . Give it go and notice the difference it makes.

Avoidance may provide immediate relief from anxiety or discomfort but it actually reinforces the fear. It’s a false safety . A false comfort. A false security. The problem still remains, it’s that we’re choosing to avoid it and over time usually gets bigger, more scary, more overwhelming.

Avoidance teaches your mind that you can’t handle situations so in time you start to feel weak, small, powerless.

By taking action, and it doesn’t always have to be big, you learn skills, you gain confidence and resilience. You teach your mind that you can’t handle situations handle things.

Sometimes the first step of that action is getting in touch with someone who can help you do that . I say to people who contact me is that asking for help is the bravest thing they can do. They’ve taken action, they’ve started the process of overcoming their fears and gaining confidence in themselves.

Taking action may feel a little scary now but makes tomorrow easier.

Love this diagram and one I often share with clients . In fact, there are many ‘iceberg’ models I share to show that what you see in others or what you experience in yourself, is just the tip of the iceberg. But there’s a deeper level to be explored.

You see, emotions rarely arrive in isolation. They swirl together in nuanced combinations…Joy tinged with guilt, anger laced with sadness and hurt, relief shadowed by grief or anxiety . These emotional blends reflect the layered nature of our experiences, shaped by memory and personal meaning.

In everyday life, mixed emotions often arise during transitions such as leaving a job, ending a relationship, starting something new. Excitement often coexists with fear or nostalgia with relief. When we suppress one side of the equation, we distort our reality.

When we embrace the whole mix of our emotions, we become more self-aware, more whole, more human and more capable of navigating life with understanding, empathy and compassion.

This is a model/metaphor I tell to many of my clients. Those with anxiety, panic attacks, IBS, insomnia, set on high alert and always feelings on edge, as though there’s danger everywhere.

These are symptoms rather than the cause. It’s the way the nervous system has learnt to deal with things. These symptoms often start whenever you have felt unsafe, sometimes just once, sometimes over a period of time.

Working on the root causes and emotions surrounding them, rather than just the effects/symptoms is essential for true healing. Making peace with the past leads to stillness and being able to be present in the moment. Enjoying life and thriving rather than surviving.

Not only do you lose the symptoms but the root causes also settle. A double result! Imagine what that would do for you!

Lovely way to end the week. So grateful when people take the time to leave a review.

I hope their stories resonate and give people hope that even though anxiety may be a huge part of life, things can change . And change in a more permanent way than other more traditional methods.

If you want to make a garden and grow flowers or vegetables, what do you do first ? Do you ignore all the w**ds, all the rubbish and just plant things because you want instant change ?

Well you can do that but w**ds grow as fast if not faster than plants . They choke the plants and sometimes those plants wither and die because they don’t have space, they can’t get the nutrients because the w**ds have taken them.

So what do you do?

You w**d the garden, digging those w**ds out, roots and all. It makes no sense to plant a new garden on a bed of w**ds.

It’s the same with the mind. Working together, we take out the w**ds, those memories that still make you feel bad even though they happened a long time ago, those beliefs that hold you back from living and thriving.

When you’ve dug up those ‘w**ds’ and cleared all the unnecessary ‘junk’ from your past , only then can you truly grow and thrive and live life to the full. From a neutral position. And you can make a fresh start.

It’s what I help people do every day!
