It sounds silly, I know.
But I was trying to do my daughter's hair and couldn't get the parting straight.
My hands were shaking, I was getting more and more frustrated with her, and the harder I tried to make it "perfect", the more overwhelmed I became.
Looking back, I know it wasn't about her hair.
It was anxiety. It was perfectionism. It was my brain stuck in survival mode.
I was beginning to realise that if I carried on like this my anxiety would affect my daughter too. This is when I decided I needed help, yet again!!!
At the time, I was already training to become a Solution Focused Hypnotherapist, learning all about how the brain works. That moment made me realise I needed to put what I was learning into practice, so I booked sessions for myself.
Those sessions and my continued learning changed everything. Now, a wonky hair parting is just that... a wonky hair parting.
If you're reacting to everyday situations in ways that don't feel like you, it doesn't mean you're failing. It could simply mean your brain has been under too much stress for too long and that can change.
