Have you ever wondered what it’s really like to get hypnotherapy? Here hypnotherapist Anne Gregory reveals all.

15/12/2022

Disclosure: I wrote this in 2020. But I read it again just now in 2022 and may as well have written it today, too. I think someone else might get that.

——-

Seconds after I took this picture, I went to help my little man with his side of the tree that he insisted on carrying inside by himself with his dad on the other end.

“No, Mommy!” he yelled. “I got this!”

He didn’t, in fact, “got this” ... and almost toppled sideways down the porch stairs. Without him seeing me, I reached over the top and gave him the slightest bit of relief of bearing the weight of the tree.

Enough that he didn’t fall over, but not too much that he noticed my assist. He then proudly marched his way through the house to the room in which the tree would stand.

I thought about his remark.

“No, I’ve got this.”

I’ve said it to so many people who have offered me help in the past.

“No, I’m fine I don’t need to talk.”
“No, I’m ok, I can handle it on my own.”
“No, it’s good, I’ll run to the store myself.”

And as a result running myself thin. Taking on too much stress. Bearing the heavy load on my own.

And it has always been the friends that have ignored my pride and showed up anyways in the not-so-obvious ways that made things a little lighter.

Dropping off no-reason leftovers.
Sending a card in the mail.
Texting an uplifting message.
Calling just to check in.
Taking garbage cans back to the side of the house.

There have been so many times when I should have ended up on the floor from the pride of doing it alone, that instead I stayed upright because of their gesture.

It matters.

And, friends, this year has been so heavy.

We are all exhausted for our own reasons.
Mentally, physically and emotionally.

If you don’t “got this” and need help — say so.
If you have an “I’ve got this” friend — show up anyways.

Everyone has been bearing a little extra weight, and everyone could use a little reminder than we don’t have to carry it alone.

We all have a natural coping mechanism when confronted with change.

We may switch off, become overwhelmed or fight to get control.

If we understand what our response is, we can learn to be aware and adapt.

Helping you to …put change into perspective.
