Do you follow me and read my posts? wonder what it’s all about? Why not book in and come and see me! All too often we think about it and tell ourselves “I’m ok” or “ I’m fine there’s people much worse than I am!”.

But this is our life and it’s important that we’re able to live it in a full way and enjoy every moment. If anxiety, depression, stress or overwhelmed is holding you back, then seeking out help will be the best investment you ever made in yourself.

I speak from experience, as somebody who’s been there. Your initial consultation with me is always free of charge and we can talk about what you’re experiencing and what we can do to make you feel better and move you forwards.

In my sessions we talk about our stress bucket! This testimonial from one of my clients explains
It beautifully 🥰

“Emptying your stress bucket will change your life. It has mine!

Last year I began a course of solution focused hypnotherapy with the incredible Vicky Leschallas Clinical Hypnotherapy.

She taught me all about our brain being split into a logical mind and a primitive mind and how this impacts us in the form of anxiety, depression and anger. The key component to which portion of our brain we are working from being STRESS.

Imagine we all have an internal bucket in which our stress is stored. In an ideal world this would always be sitting about 1/3 full to allow for lifes stresses to come our way and still have the capacity to deal with that.

Unfortunately, the reality for so many of us is that bucket is not only sitting at full, its spilling all over the place causing us to stay in that primitive mind working in fight or flight mode with no capacity to deal with even the small stuff.

Chances are, this has impacted your sleep too as there is just too much for your mind to process, your being woken up to prevent exhaustion - not helpful I know!

The key is to start emptying out the stress bucket, focus on even the smallest ways of increasing your wellbeing, increasing your happy hormones and decreasing the stress in your life and the stimulation of stress hormones in the body and very importantly, we need to focus on good quality sleep.

If things are too much, and you're drowning in that excess stress - I highly recommend giving therapy a go.

I now think clearer, my shakes and nausea are a thing of the past, I have a huge increase in capacity so now its as though I have triple the time to get everything done. I am calmer, and happier and my homelife, workalike and happiness have all improved tenfold.

Emptying my stress bucket has changed my life with the help of Vicky, and I am now maintaining that in my day to day life, and my regular massage appointments”. Kim

We all have things going on in our lives. It’s not necessarily what’s going on in our lives that makes us anxious, but it’s the way we think about these events! Otherwise everyone in a similar situation as you, would be having similar problems and we know that’s not true. So it must be our own thought patterns that are causing us to feel this way.

Solution-focused hypnotherapy can help us to change those thought processes and break the cycle of negative thinking.

Let’s talk about sleep 😴 or perhaps what happens when we don’t get enough of it. Imagine you have an inner stress bucket where you store all the negative thoughts that you may be having. At night we empty our bucket in a section of our sleep called REM (rapid eye movement dreaming).

During REM we process the events of the day moving them from our primitive brain to our intellectual brain and changing them from being an emotional memory to a narrative memory. A memory that we have control over!

When we have a lot going on in our lives and we’re constantly thinking about these things perhaps in a negative way our stress bucket will overflow.

REM is restricted to about 20% of our sleep pattern so if we try to overdo REM then the mind keeps waking us up and we find it hard to get back to sleep perhaps multiple times during the night.

Sadly REM uses up huge amounts of energy and if we’re allowed to overdo REM this exhausts us, making us even more depressed. We can now find ourselves stuck in a vicious circle.

If you want to know more about what Solution focused hypnotherapy can do to improve your sleep then please book in for a free initial consultation, you will also receive a download to listen to when relaxing particularly at bedtime.

I have a dedicated therapy space in St B’s hall, Main Street in Yaxley. This is a lovely, calm, quiet welcoming space where we can have a chat about what’s happening with you. My initial free consultation lasts 40/45 mins. During this appointment, I will take some information about you. You can tell me what you’re experiencing. I give you an explanation as to how the brain works in relation to what you’re experiencing. I then explain to you what I can do to help and how we will do this together.

You will receive a relaxing download to listen to a bedtime.
This consultation is so that we can assess each other and see if we are the right fit to work with each other.

Solution focused hypnotherapy is not a “there there, poor you”. Type therapy it often surprises my clients to learn that we don’t talk about the problem but we do work to move forwards with the solutions.

If this sounds good to you and you’ve been thinking about exploring psychotherapy or solution focused hypnotherapy then please get in touch. My door is always open. ☺️

Since I was much younger, I’ve been aware of this quote. It’s only really in recent years as an adult that I’ve become aware of just how important this is. We all have multiple things going on in our lives. We’ve all got something that we’re dealing with. We are all carrying a load of some sort.

Living a happy life is not about making all of these things go away as often these are things that can’t just disappear. We have to deal with them and If there is a solution we won’t find it when we are stressed, in fight or flight and in our primitive brain! 😧

We gain power in learning how to cope better with these things so we can live a full and happy life despite the fact that these things exist 

It’s not necessarily the things that are happening in our life that are the problem, but how we’re thinking about them. I can help you by lowering your stress and changing your thought patterns, helping you to cope better with your life. ☺️

Here’s one of my most recent reviews from a lovely lady that I worked with this year! There’s lots more reviews on my website.  If you’re considering reaching out for some help then get in touch. I offer a free initial consultation so we can meet each other and I can talk to you about what I do and how I can help you.

“ I went through a stage last year when several things went wrong at once. As a result I was struggling to sleep, over thinking and catastrophising about many things in my life. Much of the joy had gone from my life.
I felt I needed to do something as I was just plodding through and felt quite anxious most of the time
Vicky helped me to understand why I was feeling the way I was and helped me to relax, see things differently and so sleep better. She helped me get the joy back in my life and see the world in a different way.
She was so easy to talk to and I always felt very relaxed talking with her. Thank you Vicky”. Liz
