🌸 She believed she could so she did...🌸

A quote I continue to live by. But this was not always the way....

Experiencing grief aged 12 meant I lost myself. I lost belief in myself but my brain learned that hiding away and just getting on with my school work and exams was a way of surviving. This continued as I got degree after degree. It gave me an identity but it never gave me a belief in myself.

It was when I had solution focused hypnotherapy with Stephanie | Solution Focused Hypnotherapy | Anxiety Therapist just over 2 years ago that I really understood this. I learned that my brain had learned a pattern:

🧠 If I shrink myself I can't get hurt, I can't be seen as the girl whos Dad has died and I can just be loved for what I achieve'

But it was time for a new pattern, a new story.

During this process I came out of operating in the same loops. I showed my brain a different way and along the way I learned...

✨️I am more than just my achievements
✨️I can choose differently
✨️It is safe to be seen and heard
✨️I can create my future

And the most amazing thing? I didn't go to this therapy for any of this. I went because I had head pain I'd had for 3 months and there was no medical explanation for it. But now I know that was a survival brain operating on loop too. After a few sessions I broke that loop, I had physical proof things were changing and I changed in so many other ways too. When we break those survival loops (ie update the subconscious) wonderful things happen. This therapy has a ripple effect. I experienced it. My clients experience it.

If you ask me now do I believe in myself? YES I bloody do!

I also believe in every single one of my clients and I love seeing them get to a point where they hold this belief too 🥹

🦋 If any of this resonates, just know there is a way. We can support your brain to change.

✨️🧠 Just casually holding the thing you’ve been blaming yourself for without ever understanding what is going on... 🧠✨️

Most of what you call overreacting, shutting down, overthinking, or self‑sabotage is actually your survival brain (subconscious) doing its job. It works fast, automatically, and without your permission. It’s the part of your brain that is always trying to protect you. It scans for danger, seeks familiar patterns, and reacts before you even realise what is happening.

The front part of you brain, your prefrontal cortex (conscious) responds after the survival brain. It’s responsible for planning, calm decision‑making, perspective, and logic. It is more positive and rational. But it can only kick in when your body feels safe enough for it to stay switched on. So when you freeze, avoid, panic, shut down, or get overwhelmed, it’s not because there is something wrong with you. It’s your survival brain taking over because it thinks it’s protecting you.

No one ever explains this stuff... that your conscious brain isn’t in charge when your nervous system feels threatened.

Once you understand the difference between these parts of your brain, everything starts making sense. You no longer question your patters, your triggers and you stop asking yourself ‘why am I like this?’ Instead you ask yourself 'who do I want to become?'

Having this understanding is a brain changer in itself, and is just a part of all the amazing stuff we cover in sessions together. Everything is intentionally done to show your brain and nervous system the alteratives and to give them safety.

➡️ What difference might it make for you to realise all of this?

✨️Proud moments✨️

Two more clients have come to the end of their therapy.

It is always a surreal moment because it is an end of what we have done together but an absolute beginning of all the continued, magical stuff that happens after.

People don't just come to this therapy to manage how they are and hope things will just get better.

They come to support their brain to change in ways they might not have even thought was possible.

The brain is fascinating. On one hand it is lost in the dark ages still thinking we are fighting against wild animals. But on the other hand it is so capable of adapting, changing and of building new patterns thoughts, behaviours, memories.

When we support it to work in our favour, that is when life feels magical.

This therapy does just that!

I will never stop loving this work, it is the best feeling watching people become who they were always supposed to be. And knowing that people believe in themselves is just beautiful.

I have people starting therapy in the next few weeks but will have more spaces coming as others finish so watch this space 👀

Soooo proud. Keep smashing life!!!! 🙌

✨️🌿 Just imagine the ripples of change across your life...🌿✨️

People tend to come to therapy wanting to get rid of something. An uncomfortable feeling... worries, panic, low mood, stress, overwhelm, physical symptoms. They might be sick of how they are feeling and think if that thing was different, everything will be okay.

Then they go through this process and even within weeks they are telling me things they never even thought about are changing, and those symptoms are starting to ease and change.

This is not random.

This is because we are working with the subconscious mind and showing it that choosing differently is safe now.

You might not realise just how many areas in your life are currently impacted by the part of your brain that is trying its best to keep you safe.

But the opposite is just amazing...the ripple effect.
My clients experience it. I've experienced it. And many other solution focused hypnotherapists will relate to this too.

➡️ Imagine being able to create ripples of change across multiple areas of your life without even talking about each area at a time...

That is what we do together 🙌

Always happy to chat about how I can help 📞.

Your ripples of change await you...🦋

🧠 The words you choose influence your reality...Choose wisely, your subconscious mind is always listening 🧠

Today just notice how you talk, about yourself, about your day, about how things are going to go this week. How many times have you said something is not going to go well? Or something negative about yourself?

The subconscious mind just listens to what we feed it and looks for evidence to make that reality make sense.

For example you say "oh this week is just going to be a nightmare, I am too busy"

Your brain is going to seek out every example of what it thinks is a nightmare.

Instead you could say to yourself " this week I am doing a lot but I can handle it and make choices that are good for me if things get too much"

This allows you to take your power back. You are consciously choosing to be part of shaping this reality in a way that works for YOU! The subconscious mind only works in the present, it can't think in future terms it just wants to keep you safe. You will notice that the second option keeps things more present.

➡️ Apply this thinking to examples in your own life and keep repeating the more positive versions. Upgrade your words, upgrade your life.

Let me know how that goes for you...🧠

🫣 How many times have you listened to other people, instead of listening to what matters for you? 🫣
..I am guessing more times than you can count. We've all done it.

Why do we do that?

Keep watching and you'll find out 🧠.

The best thing is we can change these patterns. We can show our brain it is safe to trust what matters to us. When we trust ourselves, we can trust our decisions and we can do more of what we love.

➡️ What difference might it make for you if you could do more of what matters to you?

Always happy to chat to see how I can help you 📞

✨️ There is nothing more beautiful in this life than being YOU! ✨️

If you are not quite sure who you are anymore or how to even start to change, just be reassured that this is possible.

I am always happy to chat about how I can help - 📞

But for now...

➡️ What might be a small step to becoming closer to who you are?

If you ask yourself this type of question, your brain flips from operating in survival mode to operating in imagination mode. In this mode you can explore possibilities, interrupt survival patterns and realise change is possible.

🦋 "Do what you love, love what you do" 🦋

A quote I think of a lot and it sums up how I feel when I am with clients.

🔸️I love the connections we have together.
🔸️I love the sparkles in their eyes when they tell me their glimmers.
🔸️I love the shifts they make week on week even when they don't see it yet.
🔸️I love believing in people before they even believe in themselves.
🔸️I love knowing that they will get there even when they are uncertain about things.
🔸️I love it when people feel safe enough to cry if they want to.
🔸️I love seeing people make changes for themselves not because they feel forced.
🔸️I love being their cheerleader.
🔸️I love the moments of joy and laughter because therapy doesn't always need to feel heavy.
🔸️I love that my clients inspire me too!

Thank you to my past, current and future clients for making this such a joy! ✨️

Have a wonderful Sunday

🔥📖✍️ Fire in your belly ✍️📖🔥

Last night I shared this poem and a few others with a room of people I didn't know (except wonderful Michelle who invited me to go!)

This poem relates to my Dad and the sign I most strongly with him is a white feather. As I crossed the carpark to head into a white feather flew infront of me 🤍🪽...those of you who are into that will get that it means more than a pigeon just shedding a bit of its wings!

So proud of myself. I have never done this before but when Michelle asked if I fancied it, I just thought why not. I would have never done this a few years ago...the power of updating those beliefs with solution focused hypnotherapy hey! 😜

Loved hearing all the others sharing their words. There is something powerful about the connection of just sharing from the soul. Such a mix of styles but no judgement. Just pure encouragement.

Thanks .higgins for hosting thanks for the videos. You are the best and your poems are too. Thanks also for a room of lovely people who made me want to return.

See you all next month!
