There’s a lot of different therapies out there which can be a bit of a minefield choosing the right one for you.

In this short video, I explain what Solution Focused Therapy does and doesn’t do, and the kind of person who may suit it.

In summary, Solution Focused Therapy focuses on a client’s now and preferred future, rather than doing analytical work on their past problems.

It looks at a client’s strengths, skills and resources in order to solve problems and take small steps forward to desired goals.

It’s positive and fast working.

So, if you are a practical person, keen to move forwards with your life, and like a goal-orientated approach, Solution Focused Therapy may be the one for you!

Do you ever feel anxious, or worried about your health, after drinking alcohol?

We'd think that after feeling anxious or worried we would learn to reduce the behaviour - that would be a good rational response, eh - but our brains crave the original dopamine hit that alcohol can bring so we often go for the short term benefit.

We know that when we are in a good place, we make better decisions and plans. We can say “I want to drink less" and put actions in place. When we are feeling more anxious, depressed, low in confidence, tired or stressed, it is less easy to be kind to ourselves, stick to intentions, and be solution-focused in the long-term.

If you'd like to drink less or stop drinking alcohol, I can support you to:

- Understand your behaviours and reduce your hotspots
- Build your strengths and skills
- Reduce your anxiety or manage stress better
- Have the courage to say no in a group or on own
- Create interruptions or interventions to make change

SOMETIMES THE PAST FEELS CLOSER THAN WE WANT IT TO BE — showing up in our thoughts, our behaviours, or our relationships.

Healing from trauma isn’t about erasing the past. It’s about finding a safe way to process what’s happened while learning how to build something new — calm, confidence, purpose.

In my work with adults and young adults, I blend trauma therapy with a solution-focused approach. Together, we deal with what you’ve been through to allow you to focus on what’s possible in your future.

The good news is that you don’t have to choose between healing and moving forward — therapy can be both. 🌱

Check out this feedback from clients who've had Rewind Trauma Therapy:

'It's unbelievable. My whole thought process has changed around the memory."

"It's a huge relief."

"I'm no longer scared of the event."

"I started to see the good things in my past rather than just the bad things."

"My trauma no longer defines me."

Trauma is what happens inside us after an event or multiple events. It can affect everything negatively - your life and your relationships.

How does hypnotherapy work? Here we take a closer look at what hypnotherapy can help with and what to expect in a session

Autumn is settling in, and the heated couch is back on in my clinics 🔥

When you come for hypnotherapy, you get to lie down on the heated couch for the hypnosis part of our session.

What is hypnosis?

Hypnosis is something you do already many times during the day. It is a focused state of mind that we go into, often when we're driving, daydreaming or walking. During this time, we get access to our unconscious mind and it is this part of our brain that helps us to make change and find solutions. That will explain why often when we're walking we have a light bulb moment where we know what to do about something 💡

What do I do during hypnosis?

You get to lie on the couch and just relax, whilst I talk to you using language to help you relax and work on the things you want to change, such as getting rid of old thoughts patterns or fears, building confidence, or being kinder to yourself. You are ALWAYS in complete control during hypnosis.

If you like the sound of hypnotherapy, then do get in touch for a chat.

I offer a free 20 minute phone call - https://www.tamsindenbightherapy.com/book-a-free-call

Self-medicating to relieve stress or anxiety is not unusual, but the truth is that self-medication is not dealing with the underlying issue and can lead to long-term mental and physical health issues.

We may reassure ourselves we use substances to help with certain things like a difficult day at work or a social situation, but by doing so we ignore the red flags.

Here's some red flags:
🚩 Alcohol is a mood depressant. The first drink may soothe and give you a buzz through the increase of the motivational chemical, dopamine, in our brains, but the dopamine surge quickly fades away leaving us feeling lower in mood.
🚩 To***co increases our levels of the stress hormone, cortisol, causing us to feel agitated rather than relaxed.
🚩 Sleep is affected by alcohol, ni****ne, and other drugs. Disrupted sleep is linked to low mood.
🚩 Weight increase is often associated with alcohol intake.
🚩 Certain drugs can induce psychosis or mood disturbance.

If you know what it feels like to self-medicate, you may be interested in my blog on 'How to Stop Self-Medicating' - https://www.tamsindenbightherapy.com/post/how-to-stop-self-medicating

If you'd like to stop self-medicating, I'm here to support you via 1:1 sessions or online sessions.
