So how was your Saturday? This was mine. Pure, unashamed fun with some very dodgy dancing!

I'm a hypnotherapist, psychotherapist. I create calm, welcoming space for clients to get better, feel better and think better.

So you could be forgiven for holding the perception that I'm a serene, zen person 100% of the time. Not true. I could tell you I am but I suspect my friends would be straight onto the page to dispute it.

That said, I understand so much more about the thoughts and messages I need to reinforce to myself to keep a positive mindset. It doesn't always happen and that's because we are human, and sometimes we allow our brains to think that a difficult or challenging situation is a real, catastrophic danger when it's not true.

So in effect we allow our brains to react to a negative perception not a reality.

The reality of me? I'm an extroverted introvert with a love of house music festivals and horses. Also a reality... I'm a hypnotherapist with a great understanding of how to help people thrive.

Perception and reality can coexist. As long as it's in a positive way.

🧠 So much learning about the brain in this video!

🐎 Horses have been a part of my life for a long time, though not for the past 10 years since relocating to the north east.

🏆 I was a competent rider, entering shows and generally feeling super confident around horses. However, when you're out of practice or become less familiar with something, you start to believe you're less competent and 'the fear' kicks in and confidence diminishes.

⚠️ You're actually giving your brain a signal that you're in real danger and at that point you enter fight, flight or freeze mode. Over a period of time the feeling of fear and inability to do the thing you want or need to do (driving on motorways, having an injection, travelling on a plane, sitting an exam - and lots of other examples that you are PERFECTLY capable of doing) affects your life, mood and sense of calm and capability

🚨 You're on constant high alert, releasing an overload of adrenaline and cortisol the stress hormones, and the thing that was probably relatively small in reality becomes hugely problematic. You start to believe this is the real you, living in fear and worry. It's NOT.

🙂 The good news... there's a thing called neuroplasticity. The rewiring of your brain through a change in thought patterns, repeating positive actions and giving you perspective, calm and enjoyment back. Hypnotherapy is GREAT for supporting that process

😍 SO..... this is me. Back in the saddle, doing the thing I love and hacking round Ouseburn.

🐴 As for Bella, the beautiful horse. She's never even done this before in this place. Is she allowing her fight, flight and fear response to stop her from doing something she loves, even in unfamiliar surroundings? NOPE!

Neuroscience based. It's how the brain works.

Sunny or dark?

Calm or anxious?

Courageous or fearful?

The first words ARE you. The second are NOT.

If you're saying 'yes they are', then you're stuck in the turmoil of fight, flight, freeze and you CAN that.

Guess what.... you can do it in a relatively short space of time with the right help. Even if you've been stuck for YEARS.
