Hypnotherapy is a terrible business model.

It has one big problem. That of its own success. And speed.

It can take just 6 sessions for people to feel differently. More calm, relaxed, confident and optimistic.

We can be just getting to know each other and suddenly you’re on the right path, facing in the right direction.

It works for so many problems:

- phobias
- anxiety and stress
- poor sleep
- lack of self confidence
- weak personal boundaries

And much more….

It’s relaxing, enjoyable and often lots of fun.

Equally effective in person or online.

Just don’t expect to be hanging around too long!

How do company bosses cope

With all the stress and responsibility?

All those employees and shareholders generating never ending expectations

Dependent on every decision, every judgement.

One of the ways they manage is by

Compartmentalising

In Finland there is a growing practice in families to have a worrying hour. At the same time every day.
The purpose is to put aside worrying topics until the designated time. This limits the rumination loop which can be exhausting.

Another is by

Constantly the best outcome of every well thought out strategy.The power of positive thinking is considerable. Such expectations are more likely to become reality.

And positive thinking produces more serotonin which in itself diminishes the stress hormone cortisol.

And a third is by

Letting go

This might sound counter-intuitive. Surely a boss needs to be in control all the time?

However, delegating to a well chosen team is not only empowering for them, it generates support for the person at the top. And can be liberating.

Is it ever too late.......

To change careers?

In my 60s I was a busy restaurant consultant in London, with decades of experience of owning businesses in the hospitality sector.

I was at the age when most people retire, so why start a new career, when I could have been taking life easy?

Learnings from my Psychology degree had accompanied my stressful business life, and one day I suddenly had a light bulb moment.

I was driven to fix my own anxiety and then to train as a hypnotherapist to help other people fix theirs.

After the initial elation, oodles of self doubt manifested themselves:

- Was I too old?
- Would I be thought of as fickle?
- Would I be able to match other therapists with decades of experience?

These worries were kindly dispelled by the course tutor who insisted that my life and business experience would be an asset.

It's a few years now since qualifying as a hypnotherapist but the tutor's words resonated recently when a newly made redundant client found my profile while scrolling through Google.

At the end of our informal chat, he said:

"I noticed your experience owning cafes and restaurants. My wife and I have been talking about opening a little place, perhaps you might be able to help with this too!"

This morning and I went to the bank of the Thames for a personal ceremony of gratitude and appreciation.

If this sounds a bit woo woo, think on this; the flow of the river is a constant. Whatever we do or don’t do the water keeps on coming and going.

Great cities are often built on rivers. They are a city’s beating heart.

They have enabled the transport of goods and people over centuries. And commerce to flourish.

Today they are a magnet for tourists taking selfies against a backdrop of London’s famous monuments.

But a city’s river can also be a focus point for self introduction and appreciation.

And that’s what we did today.

This is why I do what I do….

A month before Christmas a new client came for a first session.

She had severe OCD which appeared to have been triggered by a traumatic event.

From her perspective now everything and everybody coming into the house from outside contaminated it. This included her own family.

Most of her time was spent cleaning and washing.

She was exhausted battling against what she knew rationally didn’t make sense. And the relationship with her husband and 2 teenage children was becoming strained.

Her GP had prescribed anti depressants, which seemed to make no difference.

————

At our second session two weeks later, she arrived much calmer. Her sleep had improved, the traumatic flashbacks and nightmares had ceased. And she had been out for an afternoon’s Christmas shopping.

She looked at me straight in the eye and said:

I’ve been deep inside this dark well. After our last session I looked up and saw a light shining down.

I now have hope. And that means everything.

Calling all mothers at Christmas....!

It really doesn't matter if

- the tree is not perfect
- the dinner is not perfect
- the presents are not perfect

It's the time of the year when a mother's guilt and insecurity rise to the top of the stress bucket.

Thoughts of

- not being a good enough mother or stepmother
- not being a good enough daughter
- not being a good enough wife

all converge around

- the tree
- presents
- the meal

But remember...

By far the greatest present to everyone in the family is your relaxed and happy presence. In the present.

And if there are howls of disappointment at whatever. Just. Let. Them.

We are all connected

To each other and every bit of living matter on this planet.

Into this mix energy fields form, attracting like minded forces and links.

Have you ever thought that bumping into someone you know is just an amazing coincidence? In a city like London with 10 million people?

When I was an unhappy young teenager at boarding school my solace was the library where I devoured books by Virginia Woolf. A Room of One's Own resonated in a place of little privacy.

With my first restaurant profits I bought an oil painting by Virginia's sister Vanessa Bell.

Later as a restaurant consultant, I was asked to work by chance at the Charleston Trust in Sussex when Vanessa had lived

I now live in Bloomsbury where Virginia and Vanessa lived. Using my Psychology degree to help others through hypnotherapy.

I didn't do any of this consciously. It's as though I was drawn to them (even if long since dead) magnetically and energetically.

There is so much going on beneath the surface of our conscious minds. It's where the powerhouse truly lies.

The process of hypnotherapy allow us to access this part of our mind. To honour the connections and associations that serve us.

And let go those which don't.

You don't have to do it all....alone

Being self sufficient and independent has a lot going for it. You don't need others for:

- reassurance
- support
- approval
- permission.

It can be hard if you're brought up to believe no one will help you. That you are a failure if you can't manage on your own.

And yet.....

As the sayings go:

- Stronger together
- A trouble shared is a trouble halved
- No one is meant to carry the world alone

In times of anxiety depression or illness, it's easy to think that you're the only one with problems. The reality is that everyone else is often thinking the same about themselves!

Simply a smile at someone passing on the street can transform their day and yours,

Today more than ever, there is support out there, to tap into, for almost anything. We are all connected on this planet in one form or another. And we are social beings by nature.

You are not alone.

This gets me every time…!

Maybe because of my restaurant background, or just a love affair with the Magimix when it first came out.

There is always that moment when you have to let go

- leave home
- leave that relationship
- change that job

It’s much easier and more comfortable to stay in the familiar. But just like

A ship is safe by the shore
But that’s not what it was made for

There’s so much more waiting for us out there in the realm of uncertainty.

Remember the exhilaration of that first bike ride, that first dive into the swimming pool. that first drive alone after passing your test.

All because you trusted yourself. And let go.
