Mind Toolbox

Mind Toolbox I believe that each person is unique. Therefore, I have an individual approach to each person by choosing the most effective technique for solving his issue.

As a trained therapist with 15 years of experience, I have been helping hundreds of people to release psychological traumas, relieve anxiety, panic attacks and phobias, get rid of unwanted habits and lose weight. My passion is to assist people to transform their lives by changing their unhelpful limiting self-beliefs and removing roadblocks on their way to the fulfilling and happy lives. With the development of Natural Medicine and Neuroscience, there are many safe and effective methods that can heal the emotional pain, psychological traumas and many other issues without side effects. In my Mind Toolbox practice, I use multiple psychotherapeutic modalities such as Advanced Clinical Hypnosis, Emotion Freedom Technique (EFT)-energy healing, Neuro linguistic Programming (NLP), neuroscience based Brain Working Recursive Therapy (BWRT), and Counseling. My aim is to assist a person to resolve his issue permanently, not temporary. Some of the modalities I use are content free. That means that a client does not need to tell me the details. The therapy can take only 3-5 sessions on average to heal the problem, in some simple cases only 1 or 2 sessions. I have a unique set of qualifications and life experience that have enabled me to create Mind Toolbox. I am a WSN Counseling & Coaching L2 Practitioner; a Registered Clinical Hypnotherapist http://www.hypnotherapynewzealand.co.nz/; Brain Working Recursive Therapy (BWRT) Registered L1 Practitioner trained in General Psychopathology; Advanced BWRT Practitioner trained in Psychology of Identity and Behavior L2 https://www.bwrt-professionals.com/findapractitioner.php ; The British Brain Working Research Society Founder Member. The Virtual Gastric Band Practitioner.

You fear disappointing people, so you rush to say yes even when your body says no. You sacrifice your comfort to avoid tension, and the guilt hits you when you try to set a boundary. This comes from old lessons where your needs felt risky. You can break the cycle by practising small, steady no’s. Each boundary builds confidence and restores your energy. You deserve balance, not burnout.

Childhood messages that shape adult worth.

15/12/2025

You push through every day with a tight chest and a tired mind. You brush off warning signs because you think you don’t deserve support. You work harder, smile wider, and ignore the knot in your stomach. This pattern drains your body and your energy. When you put yourself last, your stress rises, your sleep drops, and your health takes the hit. Your body can’t hold that load forever. You can change this. You can let your needs matter. One small shift builds the next. You deserve a life that doesn’t run on fear, pressure, or self-doubt. Your worth shapes your health, and your health needs you now.

Low Self-Worth Is Killing You—Literally
You push through pain you shouldn’t ignore. Your head pounds, your chest feels heavy, and your energy drops, yet you keep moving. You tell yourself it’s fine, you can handle it, it’s nothing serious. You convince yourself there’s always someone who “has it worse,” so your discomfort doesn’t count. That belief came from somewhere. Maybe you grew up hearing you were dramatic. Maybe showing need got you scolded. Maybe someone taught you that your body’s limits were an inconvenience. Now you treat your symptoms like they’re interruptions rather than signals.
Low self-worth convinces you to keep going long after your body begs for a break. You tell yourself you’ll rest later, get checked later, take care of it when things calm down, but things never calm down.
Your body has been whispering for months. Then it starts yelling. But by the time you hear it, you’re already overwhelmed, and pushing through feels easier than slowing down.
You wouldn’t ignore someone you care about if they told you they were hurting. You’d show compassion, concern, and urgency. But you treat your discomfort like it’s not important enough to address.
You deserve help at the moment you feel pain—not when the situation becomes serious enough. Please schedule the appointment you have been postponing. Give your body the respect you give everyone else.

Why You Sacrifice Yourself for Everyone Else
You move through your days carrying responsibilities that aren’t yours. People message you because they know you’ll show up. You rearrange schedules, skip rest, ignore hunger, push through pain, and convince yourself it’s normal. People call you dependable. On the inside, you're exhausted.
This pattern emerged for a reason. You grew up learning that caring for yourself was selfish. You trained yourself to be useful, hoping someone would see your effort and treat you with the same tenderness you offer them. Instead, you learnt to disappear.
You place your needs at the bottom of your priority list. You keep telling yourself you’ll slow down later. Later never comes. You keep choosing guilt over rest. Responsibility over peace.
Here’s the truth you ignore: You matter. Your life isn’t a charity service for everyone else. You’re allowed to pause. You’re allowed to protect your energy. You’re allowed to put your needs on the calendar and defend them with the same strength you use to support others.
Start with one hour. Put your name on it. Treat it like a commitment you refuse to break. The more you practice honouring yourself, the more you’ll realise how much pressure you’ve been carrying.
Please share your thoughts in the comments: do you think other people's needs should take precedence over your own?

Why You Minimize Every Win You Achieve
"I just got lucky." "Anyone could have done it." "It's not that big of a deal."
Sound familiar? You're not being humble—you're erasing your own story. Low self-worth convinces you that owning your achievements makes you arrogant, but here's the truth: minimising your success doesn't make you humble; it makes you disappear.
Your wins aren't accidents. Your achievements aren't flukes. And you don't have to shrink them to make others comfortable.
This week's challenge: Tell one person about your success. Don't use any qualifiers such as "but" or "it's nothing". Instead, embrace your success.
