🎧 Have you listened to Chris’ episode yet?

In this episode of Your Voice Matters, hypnotherapist and former paramedic Chris, shares her journey with dyslexia.

This is Chris’ lived experience, and here’s what we can take away from her story:

➡️ Early labels and stigma can shape how we see ourselves for decades, but healing and acceptance are always possible.

➡️ Many neurodivergent individuals develop their own coping strategies and may struggle to accept formal accommodations due to past experiences.

➡️ Pushing through challenges is part of many neurodivergent journeys, but recognising when we need support is equally important.

➡️ Finding safe spaces and supportive environments makes it easier to share our authentic selves without fear of judgment.

➡️ Our neurodivergent traits can become strengths when we embrace them and use them to help others.

What has resonated with you most from her story and experience? I would love to hear your thoughts.

"I used to be so ashamed of it. Now I'm getting to the point where I'm comfortable sharing because it's part of who I am."

In this episode of Your Voice Matters, I chat with Chris, a hypnotherapist and former paramedic who shares her journey with dyslexia.

Chris uses her experiences to help others through her hypnotherapy practice, and together we explore the emotional impact of labels, the journey toward self-acceptance, and finding your inner strength.

Finding strength in dyslexia, Chris' journey from shame to empowerment.

In this episode of Your Voice Matters, I chat with Chris, a hypnotherapist and former paramedic who shares her journey with dyslexia.

For decades, she kept her dyslexia hidden, carrying shame from being labeled 'a bit slow' as a child in the 1970s. From hairdressing to becoming a paramedic and eventually a hypnotherapist, Chris reveals how she pushed through education and career challenges without accepting help, fearing judgment and different treatment.

🎧 Have you listened to Carly’s episode yet?

In this episode of Your Voice Matters, Carly shares practical coping strategies that help her family navigate daily challenges.

This is Carly’s lived experience, and here’s what we can take away from her story:

➡️ You don't need something specific to be anxious about. Sometimes anxiety comes from nowhere, and that's valid.

➡️ When anxiety takes over, logical thinking becomes nearly impossible. Having a calm, rational person nearby can help ground you.

➡️ Racing heart, shaking, feeling hot, stomach aches etc. Anxiety shows up in the body in powerful ways that can't be dismissed.

➡️ Hiding anxiety to fit in or get through social situations uses enormous energy and leads to exhaustion afterward.

➡️ Walking, breathing exercises, mindfulness activities and keeping busy with small tasks can help regulate during anxious moments.

What has resonated with you most from Carly’s story and experience? I would love to hear your thoughts.

🎧 Have you listened to Bella’s episode yet?

In this episode of Your Voice Matters, Bella Ely, talks about the power of music as a tool for emotional regulation.

This is Bella’s lived experience, and here’s what we can take away from her story:

➡️ Music is a powerful tool for emotional regulation, especially for children in survival mode who cannot focus on traditional learning.

➡️ Creativity and play create safe spaces where neurodivergent children can express themselves without the pressure of traditional learning.

➡️ Including parents in sessions helps them learn regulation strategies like pizza breathing, fostering a holistic approach to support.

➡️ Group sessions help children realize they are not alone in their experiences, reducing feelings of isolation and shame.

What has resonated with you most from Bella’s story and experience? I would love to hear your thoughts.

🎧 Have you listened to MK’s episode yet?

In this episode of Your Voice Matters, I chat with MK, a multi-creative advocate who shares their journey of navigating multiple disabilities, childhood trauma, and discovering healing through creativity and community.

This is MK’s lived experience, and here’s what we can take away from her story:

➡️ The body keeps score. Childhood trauma, whether physical, emotional, or sexual, lives in the body. Healing requires acknowledging pain and creating safe spaces for release.

➡️ Learning to set boundaries as an adult is a process of reparenting yourself. Not everyone will like your boundaries, but they're necessary for your wellbeing.

➡️ Find what makes your soul spark. Discovering activities that bring joy and balance is crucial for managing physical and emotional regulation.

➡️ Community and connection heal us. Sharing stories, building authentic relationships, and supporting each other reduces isolation and creates collective healing.

What has resonated with you most from MK’s story and experience? I would love to hear your thoughts.

In this episode of Your Voice Matters, I speak with Mick Collins, a storyteller, theatre practitioner, leading practitioner in Trauma Informed Practice, and educator.

This is Mick’s lived experience, and here’s what we can take away from their story:

AJIC Transformational Journey

My name is Asma Jacob, and I have set up Achievable Journey to Inspire Change. (AJ IC)as I am very passionate about helping others and really believe using these techniques can make a huge difference. My goal is to support children and adults with special needs to be able to achieve day to day tasks by staying calm, relaxed and feel in control. I believe working intensely with individuals/groups, i can enable people to become more independent and able to access the bigger world feeling more in control of their emotion. I use bespoke strategies using NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) and EFT (Emotional Freedome Techinique) and Hypnotherapy with Solution Focus Psychotherapy which will give people the right tools to achieve their goal. I am also able to support and work closely with parents/carers to give them the right tools, to be able to support themselves and their children. These tools can help with behavior that can be challenging, phobia's, stress, anxiety, and more. My mission is to work together with schools, professional organisations and within the home, as i truly believe looking at all aspects and working together can make a huge positive impact in anyones life. This can be achieved through 1:1 sessions, group sessions, workshops etc. or a combination of ways.
