Guiding people with pain reclaim their lives; supporting clinicians to compassionately care, without bias & burnout

12/08/2025

It’s easy to get the wrong idea about EMDR therapy - especially when all people hear is "eye movements" 👀 or "quick fix" 🪄.

I made this post to clear up common myths I hear all the time - especially if you're a clinician.

✨EMDR isn’t magic.
🧩It’s not just for trauma.
🧘‍♀️It’s not something to DIY on a Sunday afternoon.

In a trauma memory or freeze moment, things don’t get stored as a full story.

Instead a memory can be fragmented - bits of emotion, awareness, and missing pieces.

Something that needed to happen didn’t happen.

EMDR helps bring those fragments together, allowing your nervous system and mind to process and reprocess them fully.

We start by using personalised somatic momvements to build and strengthen your inner resources - especially those you may not have felt you had in the old trauma, Freeze or Flop moment.

Then, if needed, side-to-side movements can be used (which can bring safety and calm the amygdala), to shift your body out of Hyperarousal or Hypoarousal into into safe mode, or a state of feeling you have agency.

We go at a pace with which you feel comfortable, safe or calm. 🛟

Following on from my recent A&E post, this feels like a good moment to reflect on self-compassion.

As clinicians and therapists, we often show deep care and compassion for others - but it can be harder to extend that same care towards ourselves.

And yet, when we do?
We hold space even better.
We show up with more clarity.
We care from a place of steadiness, not depletion.

Here are 3 self-compassion practices that might be helpful to explore:

🧭 Notice when you're overriding your own needs - that moment you think “I’ll just keep going” might be your cue to pause instead.

🗣️ Speak to yourself the way you would to a valued colleague - especially when things feel uncertain or you’re second-guessing yourself.

🔵 Protect your energy with boundaries - not to shut people out, but to make sure you’re not constantly running on empty.

Self-compassion isn’t indulgent. It’s essential.

What’s helping you stay connected to yourself at the moment?

There are lots of myths about hypnotherapy - swinging watches, mind control, being ‘put under’...

These ideas, often shaped by stage shows or outdated portrayals, can put people off something that might genuinely help 🧠.

Let’s talk about Cognitive Hypnotherapy (QCH).

It’s a flexible, evidence-informed framework that works with how you uniquely process the world.

Within this framework, as well as therapeutic use of language, I use approaches like EMDR, somatic practices, and coaching - all tailored to support lasting change. 🌿

This is how I work with each unique person - according to their model of the world🌍, the way they process things, and what's important to them - from clinicians and the challenges they bring or patients with persistent pain who want to reclaim their lives.

Faking confidence can leave you feeling like an imposter 😔

True confidence comes from doing the deeper work, understanding yourself, letting go of unhelpful limiting beliefs, learning from others, and growing over time 🌱

Real confidence is built by doing the work beneath the surface 🔍

🕒 It’s partway through Monday here.

I’ve got my decaf Earl Grey in my silly mug that makes me jolly. ☺️
And it's a moment to pause.✋🏾

Just a reminder that small pauses matter -
a cup of tea, a deeper breath,
a walk round the block. 🌿

Whatever helps you come back to yourself, ground you, do that today.
Then carry that caring way through the week. 💙

Because you’re already holding space and caring for others. 🙌🏾

What’s your go-to for a break or to help you feel grounded?

🪫Ever feel like you've taken on the weight of your patient's issues or feel completely drained by the end of your day?

🔵💙 Tracey, a physical therapist, shared how she used a simple somatic tool, which took seconds, from The BOUNDARIES Workshop… and it changed how she showed up for a client who often challenges her boundaries.

Using the 1-2-3 technique gave her a sense of self-empowerment, safety, and grounding.

She was able to use her hands as a "tool to explore with care" rather than absorb her client’s tension. 💙🔵

Whatever your healthcare discipline, if you're ready to:
– Show up with compassion without feeling drained
– Hold space and still feel grounded
– Protect your energy throughout your day

We can often not realise the difference we have made in someone's life 💭✨

The note on slide 2 of this carousel was something a man I had the privilege of supporting jotted down for himself years ago.

He recently stumbled across it - and chose to share it with me 💌

When we show up with compassion 💗, meet the unique human in front of us where they are, and support actions that honour their values, we can leave a lasting imprint – even if we don’t see it at the time.

If you're a healthcare professional - in any field - keep showing up compassionately for your patients the best you can in the moment 💚

You are making a difference, even when you can't see it 🌟

When something appears to be familiar, we tend to lose interest. 😐

You may think:

"I've heard this before" or "I know this"...

What this does is that it robs you of an opportunity to learn. ❌📚

However, when you approach familiar material with curiosity, you:

✨ Open yourself to deeper understanding
🧠 Uncover new insights
🌱 Experience true growth

You see, knowing is not enough. You become a better YOU when you experience with fresh eyes. 👁️🌀

And when you do this, you're stepping into a beginner's mindset. 🧘‍♀️🧑‍🎓

I recently attended a training where much of the material was familiar.

Nevertheless, I decided to immerse myself experientially, and remained open to my colleagues’ perspectives. 🗣️🤝

You have no idea how much this decision enriched my practice. 💡💙

In the Embodied Clinician Program, we integrate:
💫 self-compassion
💫 boundaries
💫 somatic emotional regulation
💫 building confidence
💫 self-awareness

…to help you serve patients while protecting your well-being. 🩺🛡️

Even if you’ve encountered some form of these integrated somatic and cognitive strategies before, approaching them with a beginner’s mindset can open new doors to growth and resilience. 🚪🌿

Here's why this program might just be what you need:

🌟 Interactive Workshops – Exploring practical strategies and tools, using embodiment and curiosity to fine-tune and adapt them for your preferences.

🌟 One-to-One Sessions – Personalised support helps you uncover blind spots, reflect on your current practices, and shift into habits that serve you better.

🌟 Drop-in Support – Ongoing guidance as you implement and refine what you’re learning.

🌟 Group Meeting Space – For accountability and further encouragement from me and your fellow clinicians. 👥💬

If you're feeling the weight of patient care, struggling with boundaries, noticing signs of burnout, or self-doubt, comment with the word "EMBODIED" or click link in bio to book a free chat. 📲💬

In this call we'll explore how the Embodied Clinician Program can help you feel more balanced and resilient. ⚖️🌈
