S - A - D ?

Now the season is changing I know all too well that my mood can be affected by this change and the length of the dark winter months ahead ...is it any wonder I attempted to move abroad this year?! 👀☀️)

Whilst in the past I've struggled a lot, I'm happy to report I've now got much more coping strategies to see me through this time period...

✨️ Acceptance - by accepting that this is something I experience, I can prepare and put in place the tools and actions I know will help me get through it

💡 Being consistent - making it a priority to get natural light in my face when I wake up via the SAD lamp in the picture - although the clocks haven't changed yet and we're still being treated to a fair amount of sunlight on the south coast I've started my routine with the lamp today and will continue through until spring when I can replace it with outdoor natural light a bit easier

☀️ Practising Gratitude Daily - either by reminding myself verbally or by writing it down or sharing on here, I know this never fails to elevate my mood & switch up my perspective for the day ahead

💭 Staying connected with others - autumn and winter is a time of natural hibernation for most of the animal kingdom and back in the day our ancestors would likely have gone full hermit mode too in attempt to avoid the elements but from experience being too hermit like especially in winter has never worked out well for me, afterall we as humans are wired for social connections...yes, even if cancelled plans feels safer to our primitive brain 👀🧠

Above is a snap shot of what we call the 3P's in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy - this is a huge part of the work I do with clients, by supporting you to focus on

💡Positive actions
💡Positive interactions
💡Positive thinking

we can together take steps to empty out your stress bucket, which if you're also affected by SAD may feel a lot fuller & heavier in the darker months 🪣

If you're keen to find out Solution Focused Hypnotherapy could help you bring a bit more sunlight back into your autumn & winter drop me a DM & let's get started!

It's wonderful when my client's start to notice the positive changes they're creating in their own lives... the sunshine that THEY bring to the party.

In session we talk about "the 3 P's" 👇🏼

☀️ Positive Actions

𝐂𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐲

A combination of 𝐜𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 , 𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐦𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐠𝐞 & 𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐠𝐞𝐫 𝐩𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐲 is my ultimate go-to when my client's are seeking a deeper release of pain & tension from their chosen treatment.

The additional benefit of "deep relaxation" as the cups do their thing, believe it or not, is also a surprising bonus...yes, really!

Many of my clients decide to try out cupping as a way of enhancing their regular massage sessions. Sometimes, it's if they've been hitting the gym extra hard and just not getting the range of movement they need to hit their next PB or others find themselves struggling with pain from an ongoing RSI issue.

Whatever their reasons, I can confidently say that about 90% of those who've tried it have never looked back ! Despite their somewhat brutal appearance, the marks leftover by the cups aren't actually bruises, nor should they be painful. What is actually being created (from the vacuum suction of the cup) is a microtrauma of the tiny blood capillaries located just under the skin's surface, the breaking of which effectively kick starts the body's recovery response and floods the area with fresh blood, oxygen and nutrients to help heal the area and sweep away old stagnated blood and waste. Usually, the darker the cup marks, the more stagnated or "old" the blood in that area is thought to be.

The effect of the negative pressure created by the cups (in contrast to the positive pressure created during manual soft tissue work) also opens up the space between the fascia (connective tissue that lies over the muscles) and the muscle tissue, allowing for increased flow of blood (and maybe more significantly) lymphatic fluid, this further enhances and speeds up the detoxifying effects in the area's of focus.

𝐂𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐲 is best applied when you:

✅️ Have slept well the night before

✅️ Have neither a full or empty stomach

✅️ Have the capacity to rest way more than you normally would afterwards

You'll find me at on Saturdays 12-5pm from 27th July 💆‍♀️💆‍♂️

"𝐀𝐬𝐤 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐬..."

In Solution Focused Hypnotherapy that "part" is your Left Prefrontal Cortex. And it knows the way to your desired future.

Your primitive mind (the limbic system) is the part of your brain that keeps you stuck in fear based behaviours and unhelpful thinking.

It's negative, it's obsessional and it's vigilant. It's not the most forward-thinking creature at all.

But it does serve a purpose.

It's there to keep us safe, when we're faced with life or death situations. It helps us make quick decisions impulsively to prevent us from being eaten by wild animals ...it's the part that will kick in to get us to jump back onto the pavement as a bus hurtles towards us.

But it's really not the best for when we're trying to just our everyday lives or when we're trying to make those important (but non-life threatening) types of decisions, the ones that if we're stuck in our primitive fight flight freeze response CAN start to actually feel like life or death hangs does hang in the balance.

So isn't it time to take a wee step back and let our nervous system re-learn the difference? 💭

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy can help you get there...and sometimes much quicker than you might expect.

So if you've been feeling a little lost lately, always on edge, losing sleep, worrying or just really struggle with making decisions day to day then get in touch to arrange your FREE Initial Consultation and let's start asking the part of YOU that knows

"𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐟𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐧 𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐧 𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐭𝐫𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫?"

Something I heard say on her podcast this morning really resonated, and of course, I had to share.

These words perfectly sum up what 𝐒𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐅𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐇𝐲𝐩𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐲 aims to do.

Just like how we can't control the weather, we can't control what other people in our lives choose to do or how most external events play out around us. But we can choose how we nourish ourselves, how we choose to spend our free time, (and for the most part who we chose to spend it with), how we respond to our external environment and how we think about ourselves, others and the events that take place around us.

In session, we call it "the 3P's..."

🌳Positive Actions
🌸Positive Interactions
🌱Positive Thoughts

Focusing our attention on these 3 areas opens up a pathway for us to spend more time doing the things we want to do, with people who light us up and ultimately helps move us forward towards the future we truly desire.

By building healthy, nourishing lifetime habits, we can finally put ourselves in charge of guiding the direction of our own lives and free ourselves from the grip of everything else that doesn't align with that.

𝐈𝐭'𝐬 𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐚 𝐃𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐥 𝐨𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤 ⚓️

Tonight I handed in my notice to my day job for the second time. Same month, different year. And god what a difference a year makes. I have so much gratitude for all the kindness and support shown to me by my colleagues and managers ever since the very first time I rocked up here in January 2023 as a former version of myself that I now, thankfully no longer recognise. In 5 weeks I will qualify as a Solution Focused Hypnotherapist. I got accepted into the course in January 2022 and was due to begin my training in March 2022. But it didnt happen. I doubted myself and found every excuse under the sun as to why I couldn't do the course that year. I couldn't afford it. What would people think, I was a massage therapist not a Hypnotherapist what business did I have in learning something new (even though it's something I've wanted to do for YEARS and something that has helped me personally) and what happened? 2022 was one of the most chaotic and anxiety fuelled years of my life. You could say I got an education of a different kind. Now out the other side of it. I think I needed that year. And I needed the 2023 year that followed it. The year that almost broke my spirit. I'm glad I made the decision to delay it because as horrific as some of the experiences were I honestly would not change it. If the "bad" things didn't happen, I might not have gotten to the good things I'm experiencing so vividly now. Trust in the divine timing of your life. Even if you're currently at rock bottom without a torch. There's SO much waiting for you when the sun starts to come back out, I promise. ⚓️

𝐂𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐓𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐚𝐥 ⚓️

I am beyond proud of all the hard work Charli has put into her sessions and am so taken aback by this wonderful feedback 🥹🫶

In Solution Focused Hypnotherapy we don't focus on the reason why you're seeking help, we focus on the future you want to create for yourself. When we do this, our stress bucket starts to empty, and when our stress bucket becomes emptier and emptier, our reasons for visiting become less and less apparent in our day to day lives.

This isn't an overnight, quick fix...and I'm never going to pretend to you that it is. Results take patience, perseverance, and consistent effort from you, and if you're able to bring that, then you've got a promise from me that I'll guide & support you as much as I possibly can to help you get to where you want to be.

I love love love that I get to hold space for incredible women like Charli who show up for themselves and trust that positive change is possible, thank you for trusting me - you smashed it!

In just 6 weeks time I will qualify as a Solution Focused Hypnotherapist ... so if you're keen to grab yourself some half price sessions before then drop me a DM or email me and let's get started !
