If youโd told me then how much could change in four years, I wouldnโt have believed you.
Back then, Iโd just left teaching. I was mentally and physically exhausted, disconnected from myself and forcing smiles I didnโt feel.
Teaching had become my entire identity. The pressure, the expectations, the paperwork, the responsibility for everyone else - especially post-Covid - had slowly drained the life out of me. Iโd lost my spark and, honestly, Iโd forgotten who I was.
๐ Solution Focused Hypnotherapy quite literally saved me.
It helped me calm my nervous system, think more rationally and understand why my brain and body were reacting the way they were.
๐ It helped me realise that I wasnโt failing - the system was failing me.
โจ And it gave me the confidence (and self-worth) to make changes I was terrified to make, but deeply needed.
โฉ Fast forward to now, and Iโm doing work I genuinely love.
I still teach. I still help people. But now I get to support individuals in a way that actually works - helping them feel calmer, more confident, more in control and more like themselves again.
(And yesโฆ I get to drink my tea hot and go to the toilet when I want ๐- if youโre a teacher youโll get this ๐)
Letting go of the โteacher identityโ took a bit of time - the perfectionism, the people-pleasing, the constant sense of responsibility.
But it was so worth it. And I know, without doubt, I wouldnโt be here without Solution Focused Hypnotherapy.
๐ I truly believe this: regardless of whatโs happened in your past, you deserve a happy, fulfilled life.
And if youโre feeling stuck, burnt out, or quietly struggling - I get it.
Change can feel scary, but it ๐๐จ possible.
๐ If something in this resonates, and youโre curious about what support could look like for you, youโre always welcome to reach out.
Sometimes a simple conversation is the first step forward ๐
