The frustration is REAL 😖

I hear you…

“Why can’t I just think positively?”

👇🏽

Because KNOWING what you want to think and actually BELIEVING it are two different things.

You can consciously tell yourself:

“I’m ready.”
“I’m capable.”
“I deserve better.”
“I’m ready to change.”

But underneath those thoughts, your subconscious mind may still be working from old experiences, learned beliefs and protective patterns.

So you think the new thought…
but somehow keep finding yourself back in the same reaction, behaviour or emotional loop.

This is where hypnotherapy can help.

Hypnotherapy works with the subconscious processes underneath your conscious thinking, helping you explore and update patterns that may no longer fit who you are or how you want to live.

You don’t necessarily need more positive thoughts.

Sometimes you need to understand why part of you doesn’t believe them yet.

If you’re tired of knowing what you “should” think but struggling to make it feel true, book a hypnotherapy session with me and let’s work with what’s happening underneath.

Ok… this is what I 💯 know…
Massage therapy isn’t only something to book when your body hurts.

A regular massage can be part of how you care for your body BEFORE the tension, stress and discomfort start demanding your attention.

Depending on the type of massage and your individual needs, regular massage may help:

• reduce muscular tension, stiffness and soreness
• support recovery after too much or too little movement
• improve relaxation and reduce stress
• support better sleep and rest

But also:
• improve nervous system regulation
• reduce emotional reactivity
• increase rest & digest response
• create regular opportunities to slow down and reconnect with your body

And there’s something else I think matters…
Our bodies carry the physical effects of busy lives of simply doing and holding onto too much for too long.

You don’t necessarily need to wait until something aches or falls apart to look after yourself.

Regular massage can be a balm, not just an emergency treatment.

Your body does a lot for you.
Give it somewhere to soften.

Sometimes, “just think a different thought” isn’t enough.

You can know the thought isn’t helpful.
You can understand where it came from.
You can even know exactly what you’d prefer to believe instead.

And still find yourself falling back into the same pattern, the self limiting beliefs and addictions.

Because not everything that drives our behaviour sits in our conscious thinking.

Our subconscious mind holds learned associations, emotional responses, protective patterns and beliefs that can continue to influence how we respond, even when consciously we want something different.

That can sound like:

“I know I need this, but I keep sabotaging myself.”

“I know I deserve better, but I keep going back to my old ways.”

“I know what I need to do, but something keeps stopping me.”

“I know this fear doesn’t make sense, but I still feel it.”

This is where hypnotherapy can be useful.

Hypnotherapy allows us to work with the deeper patterns beneath the conscious conversation. Instead of endlessly trying to argue with a limiting belief, we can explore what’s maintaining it and begin creating different associations and responses.

Because sometimes you don’t need another affirmation…or think a better thought.

You need to understand why part of you doesn’t believe it yet.

If there’s an area of your life where you keep thinking, “I know better, so why do I keep doing this?”, hypnotherapy may be worth exploring.

DM me HYPNO and we can talk about whether it’s the right approach for what you’re experiencing.

Meet Kate!

Kate is one of our individual and couples therapists here at The Urban Alchemist. She is warm, unhurried and genuinely attentive to the things that are felt but not yet said.

For individuals, she creates a space to slow down and make sense of what has been too big or too tangled to look at alone. Old patterns, grief, identity, inner conflict. All of it held with real care and zero judgment.

For couples, she helps you understand the patterns that have left you feeling stuck or disconnected. Not because anyone is doing something wrong. Because something has taken shape between you that needs a little space to shift. Underneath that are the real things. The fears, the longings, the moments where you reach for each other and somehow miss.

That is where the work happens. That is where things start to soften.

If you have been thinking about therapy for yourself or with your partner, Kate would love to meet you 💚

Book via the link in bio or reach out for a chat first.

Dearest hermanita Tracy,
I’ve come to realise that the friendships that shaped me most deeply have not necessarily the ones that began in my younger years.

They are the rare souls I met in the middle of life 🤍 people like you 🤍 who sashayed in during extraordinary seasons and witnessed parts of me that almost nobody else ever did.

You and I were never just sharing dinners or connecting over coffee.
We were having parallel existential crises, untangling years of messy, heartbreaking life while standing beside one another through some of our greatest upheavals.
We were carrying heavy things and somehow still finding reasons to laugh at the ridiculousness, all while pouring ourselves into our community as though love and service was an endless well.

That created a different kind of bond.

Years from now, someone may ask me why our friendship meant so much,
and I know I’ll struggle to explain it.

“You simply had to be there,” I’ll say.

You had to know who we were in those chapters.
You had to witness the women we became because of them.

And perhaps that is what I will miss most when you leave.

Not only your presence, but the version of myself that exists when you are standing beside me. The woman who feels a little braver, more magical, a little more solid, simply because you are there to remind me of who I am.

I love you, and I think you can feel that now.

Thank you for choosing me as your friend.
Thank you for sharing this remarkable season of life with me.
Thank you for passing on the wand 🪄✨…
or is it the crown 👑

Deep vow sister,
travel well my darling

💗
