Dyslexia mainly affects people’s ability to develop literacy skills but the impact is far wider on those who experience this specific learning difficulty. As Hypnotherapists, we are particularly interested in helping our clients deal with the emotional aspects of dyslexia which are in themselves intrinsically linked to their cognitive abilities. Those with dyslexia often experience learning barrie

rs that are difficult to address using conventional teaching methods but are ideally suited to a Hypnotherapist who understands how the unconscious mind affects learning and behaviour. It is estimated that around 10% of the population have dyslexia although many of these have not been formally identified within the education system. In recent years, there has been less of a tendency to see dyslexia as a medical condition and more recognition that it reflects a different way of learning. An understanding of the way that the left and right side of the brain specialise in different styles of thinking helps us make sense of how people with dyslexia have been challenged during their studies. Formal education is highly structured and appeals to those who have a dominant proclivity for left-brained learning. A preference for logical approaches, an emphasis on facts and figures and a tendency to measure performance through standardised testing appeal to those who favour a left-brained learning style. Those who are more spontaneous, visually-orientated and lateral in their learning style are not so easily accommodated. It is this style of learning that is associated with dyslexia, as people who fall into this category generally demonstrate a strong preference for using the right side of their brain. There are many successful people who have excelled in their fields who reportedly have dyslexia. Sir Richard Branson was a poor performer at school due to his dyslexia and yet his approach to business reflects the vision, creativity and drive inherent in those who have this learning style. Albert Einstein, whose name is synonymous with the very concept of genius, was also dyslexic. Walt Disney, Leonardo da Vinci, Mohammed Ali, Agatha Christie and numerous others in a range of professional endeavours have also triumphed with dyslexia despite poor educational performance in their early lives. I can install learning strategies that bypass the critical factor of the conscious mind and help clients overcome their limitations and develop the confidence to accomplish their goals in life. Most importantly, you will learn how overcome the emotional barriers that are holding you back in life. By recognising how dyslexia offers exceptional strengths and unique assets, you will be able to stop ‘suffering’ from dyslexia and start celebrating it. Research has shown that our unconscious mind makes 90% of our decisions and that behaviors are established at a very young age. The unconscious mind’s primary function is to protect us. However, behaviors learned at a young age are not always helpful in dealing with issues that we face as adults. Although our conscious mind knows how to deal with situations rationally, the unconscious mind which is the driving force, can create a raft of limiting and unhelpful behaviors because of early programming.

Insomnia and Sleep Issues
Lying awake at night, staring at the ceiling, feeling wired but exhausted?
If that sounds familiar , there’s a good chance your cortisol levels are out of control.
And here’s the deal: high cortisol is more than just a bad night’s sleep—it’s a serious roadblock to your health, energy, and your ability to hit the flow state.
Cortisol is your body’s built-in alarm system.
It’s meant to help you handle stress, but when it sticks around too long—especially at night—it can wreak havoc on your sleep.
Studies show that elevated evening cortisol is one of the biggest culprits behind tossing and turning, disrupted sleep cycles, and that feeling of being “tired but wired”.
When your cortisol levels are too high in the evening, your body stays in a state of alertness, making it nearly impossible to relax and fall asleep.
And poor sleep doesn’t just affect your mood—it drags down your entire health, energy, and performance.
The Cost of High Cortisol:
1. Disrupted Sleep
High cortisol messes with your body’s natural circadian rhythm, making it harder to fall asleep and stay asleep. You wake up feeling drained, no matter how long you’ve been in bed.
2. Increased Stress and Anxiety
Cortisol is linked to heightened stress responses. If your cortisol stays high, your body is constantly in “fight-or-flight” mode, which leads to more stress, anxiety, and mental fog during the day.
3. Blocked Flow State
Cortisol doesn’t just affect your sleep—it blocks your ability to enter the flow state. The flow state is where you’re fully focused and performing at your best, but high cortisol keeps your brain stuck in overdrive, making it impossible to focus deeply or think creatively.
Now, imagine what happens when you cut evening cortisol by 25%.
You’re not just lowering your stress—you’re giving your body the green light to relax, sleep deeply, and wake up energized.
Lowering cortisol improves your sleep quality, reduces anxiety, and opens the door for you to finally access the flow state.
When cortisol comes down:
1. Deep, Restorative Sleep
Lower cortisol allows your body to enter its natural rest-and-recover mode, improving sleep quality and helping you wake up refreshed and ready to take on the day.
2. Reduced Anxiety, More Clarity
When your cortisol levels are balanced, you’ll notice less anxiety, better mental clarity, and an increased sense of calm. This sets you up for a more productive, focused day.
3. More Consistent Flow State
With cortisol in check, your mind and body can work together, making it easier to slip into the flow state—where creativity, focus, and high performance come effortlessly.
You don’t have to spend another night staring at the ceiling, trapped in a cycle of poor sleep and high stress.
Lowering your evening cortisol naturally is possible, and it’s the key to better sleep, more energy, and consistent access to the flow state.
