🌀 Ending the Cycle

Trauma isn’t always what happened, it’s what stayed trapped in the body long after it was over.
It’s the tension you can’t relax.
The people pleasing that keeps you safe.
The panic when things are finally calm.

Hypnotherapy helps you access the part of your mind that’s still living in survival mode, gently rewiring the patterns that keep you stuck.
NOT by reliving the pain…but by teaching your nervous system that it’s safe to let go.

This is how generational cycles end, not through force or willpower, but through deep, subconscious healing.

💫 You don’t have to keep repeating what hurt you. You can become the calm, grounded version of yourself your younger self always needed.

Grateful for the little things 🐾🌤️

This morning, the rain held off just long enough for me and Milo to enjoy our Monday mooch, which means I didn’t rock up to my first client looking like a drowned rat. Win! 😅

It’s funny how those tiny moments of gratitude like catching a dry walk, a good cold can of Diet Coke, or finding your keys where you actually left them - can shift your whole mood.

When we notice what’s going right, our brain releases those lovely feel-good chemicals (like serotonin), helping us feel calmer, lighter, and more in control.

That’s one of the things I love about Solution Focused Hypnotherapy. It trains your brain to keep spotting what’s working, rather than what’s not. Bit by bit, that rewires how you think, feel, and show up in the world.

So here’s to small wins, dry walks, and brains that know where to look for the sunshine ☀️

Remembrance Day
PLYMOUTH 🇬🇧

🕯️ Remembrance Day

Today we remember all who served,
those who never came home,
those who returned forever changed,
and those still fighting silent battles within.

Not all wounds are visible.
Not all wars are over.

🕊️ We will remember them.

Broken Men 💙

I had to share this.
With November marking Men’s Mental Health Month, a time to support male survivors of domestic abuse, and as we approach Remembrance Day this message hits hard.

The strongest men I’ve met aren’t the ones who’ve had it easy. They’re the ones who’ve faced darkness, loss, and failure, and got back up anyway. Real strength is built in those moments when life breaks you open and you choose to rebuild.

Hypnotherapy gives men the tools to steady the mind, take back control, and reset after life knocks them down. It’s not about “fixing” it’s about finding clarity, confidence, and focus again.

This month, let’s keep the conversation going. Strong doesn’t mean silent. 🙏

🌺 Remembrance Week Post

This week we see Remembrance Sunday, a time that always feels heavy to bring up, because it’s not just one day that affects our military, veterans, and their families.

It’s the invisible wounds, the home wrecking, life shattering, soul crushing impact of PTSD and CPTSD, that show up quietly, daily, and often without warning.

On Wednesday night, many of us will look up at the fireworks and see beauty. But for others, those same bangs and flashes can be exhausting overwhelming, or deeply triggering.

If you have a friend, work colleague, or family member who’s served, reach out this week. A text, a call, a coffee ☕️

💭 3 Evidence-Based Ways to Support Mental Health in Veterans This Week

1. Grounding and Breathwork for Flashback Management
• Techniques such as box breathing (4-4-4-4) or 5 sense grounding help regulate the nervous system when sudden triggers arise (e.g. fireworks or loud noises).
• Evidence from trauma research (van der Kolk, 2014) shows that focusing on breath and body awareness can reduce hyperarousal and panic.

2. Peer and Social Connection
• Studies show veterans who stay socially connected, even through brief check-ins or peer support groups - have significantly lower rates of PTSD related isolation and depression (APA, 2020).
• Reach out to a trusted mate, veterans’ group, or community hub. You don’t need to talk about the past to benefit from connection.

3. Sleep and Routine Regulation
• Sleep disturbances are one of the strongest predictors of PTSD flare ups. Evidence supports setting a consistent wind-down routine and avoiding stimulants (including late-night news or caffeine).

Apps such as Headspace for Veterans or Combat Stress Sleep Tools can offer guided rest support and trauma-informed relaxation tracks.

Inbox or email me for a FREE hypnotherapy sleep tracker, no questions asked or personal details required - I will forward to you.
