If you constantly expect the worst, your brain gets very good at finding it 🔎

That is not weakness.
It is neuroplasticity.

The brain strengthens whatever you repeat.
So if you rehearse “this will go wrong”
your nervous system prepares for danger ‼️

Then your behaviour shifts.
Then the result often confirms the fear.

That is how the loop builds.

The good news?
The brain can build new pathways too.

Save this if you recognise the loop 💾

This is one of my favourite tools for children (and adults!) who feel overwhelmed fast 💛

👉 Name 3 things you can see
👉 Name 2 things you can hear
👉 Take 1 slow breath

It brings the brain out of panic mode and back into the present moment.
No equipment.
No explaining.
No pressure.

It works because it speaks the brain’s language.

Try this tonight and let me know how it goes
Save this for meltdown moments

Today’s therapy tip is simple.

Eat the pizza.

National Pizza Day 🍕
No guilt.
No overthinking.
Just joy, carbs and maybe extra cheese.

Because sometimes the most regulating thing you can do…
is enjoy the pizza.

This year’s Children’s Mental Health Week theme is ‘This is my place’ 💛

Belonging isn’t about behaving better or trying harder to fit in.
It’s about emotional safety.

When children feel they belong, their nervous system settles.
When their nervous system settles, learning, confidence and connection follow.

True belonging means children don’t have to shrink, mask or change who they are to be accepted.
It means the adults, systems and environments around them adapt instead.

This week I’ll be sharing simple, brain-based ways to help children feel safer in themselves, in friendships, in school and in the wider community 💛

Because every child deserves to know
“This is my place.”

Share with someone who supports children 💕
Follow along for tools you can actually use.

Sometimes the most helpful thing you can do is nothing at all.
Just watch. Just breathe. Just let your body slow down for a moment 🌱

If this video found you, take it as permission to pause and come back to yourself.
Be gentle with yourself today 💙

Ever wake up tired even after sleeping? 😴

Sleep and mental health are deeply connected.
When one struggles, the other usually does too.

Reach out if your mind never really switches off 🌙
