Delighted to be taking bookings for Stoptober! 🚭

As an anxiety specialist, I'm here to tell you that your anxiety can improve drastically when you stop smoking!

Many people believe their smoking is calming them down. Physiogically nothing is further from the truth!

Smoking replicates your stress responses by increasing your heart rate and respiration rate

You also experience pressure of needing the fix of the ni****ne during the depletion phase between ci******es.

Many people also experience some level of anxiety at hiding their smoking habit from people around them.

Why not make October the month you free yourself from ni****ne?

I can support you to stop smoking and then support you with your anxiety by teaching you ways of calming that actually reduce your heart and respiration rate.💚

On Sunday 11th October I shall be running Self Hypnosis In a Day at the lovely Rookery Retreat Cabin

It's going to be a packed but relaxed day!

You will learn how to take yourself into a trance state and whilst in that state embed useful suggestions, and reorientate safely.

This is great for pain management, anticipatory anxiety, stress and insomnia to name a few things.

Price is £90 for a full day and the maximum number of attendees is six.

Message me asap on 07736 413314 to reserve your place 💚

Here's a great article about how working with a hypnotherapist really can resolve longstanding issues.

While I don't use regression as a matter of course, I can use it to get to the bottom of persistent fears and anxieties.

I have great techniques in my toolkit for letting go of fears and phobias safely and swiftly

For a decade I lived with a fear so bad that I once tried to climb out of a tube carriage while it was in motion. Then a hypnotherapist told me to ask my parents one very important question

Today, 30th August is Grief Awareness Day

Grief crops up in my therapy room regularly, whether the client is there specifically to address it or not.

What are useful things to be aware of around grief?

🖤It comes in many forms, and for other losses, not only death itself

🖤There is no right way to do it, only your way to to do it. There's no right length of time either.

🖤It isn't linear. (It isn't even the tidy curve we get trained in as therapists, though that is a useful tool!) It fluctuates and that's ok

We can help those around who are grieving by supporting them to talk- if they want to- and by making sure we respect the pace they are doing their grieving at, and the amount of unseen stuff at the bottom of the iceberg.

RIP Dolly Parton. Here's a great pearl of wisdom. Finding out who we are and doing it on purpose isn't for the faint hearted. I am thinking today about more ways I can show up as myself on purpose 🖤
