Tracy Ann Wood I offer a kind and compassionate space to help you learn how to manage your feelings.

I help adults overcome anxiety, depression and low self esteem so they can stop overthinking, putting themselves down, apologising & worrying what other people think.

Did you know that anger has a purpose? It often shows up to let us know that our boundaries have been crossed or our needs arenโ€™t being met.

But for many women, anger feels uncomfortable, even โ€œwrong.โ€ Growing up, we may have been taught that anger wasnโ€™t allowed, so we learned to suppress it. Over time, it can get pushed down so far that we hardly recognise itโ€™s there.

Problem is that ignoring and suppressing anger doesn't make it disappear. It simmers, lurks and hides. And sometimes it bursts out in ways we donโ€™t expect, when weโ€™re exhausted, after a glass of wine, or when something small tips us over the edge of our window of tolerance.

๐Ÿ’ซ Your emotions arenโ€™t dangerous, theyโ€™re information. Theyโ€™re alerting you to things that matter.

And here's some good news! When you allow yourself to feel and express your anger (without fear of judgement), you also make space to feel other emotions as well - positive ones such as joy and excitement. โœจ

What is anger like for you?

Happy to share that I have now moved to a new therapy location. Every part of space has been chosen with care so that my clients feel held, welcomed, and at ease the moment they arrive. I look forward to sharing more of the new space.

Itโ€™s your brainโ€™s way of trying to soothe an emotion, trying to make the feeling go away by staying busy, analysing the situation over and over.

But overthinking doesnโ€™t soothe emotions, it suppresses or numbs them.

Next time you catch yourself spiralling into overthinking, pause and ask yourself this: ๐Ÿ’ฌ ๐˜ž๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ต ๐˜ข๐˜ฎ ๐˜ ๐˜ต๐˜ณ๐˜บ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฐ๐˜ต ๐˜ต๐˜ฐ ๐˜ง๐˜ฆ๐˜ฆ๐˜ญ? ๐Ÿ’ฌ

Controlling your emotions doesnโ€™t mean pushing them away.
Itโ€™s not about ignoring, avoiding, or pretending theyโ€™re not there.

Real emotional control is about:
๐Ÿ’ก Understanding them
๐Ÿ’— Feeling them
๐Ÿ—ฃ Naming them
๐ŸŒฌ Letting them go

Somebody said recently "I don't need to come, I'm not in a bad place." That's great to hear, but it's not the only reason we're here.

We are here every Monday (except Bank Holidays) at 7pm for ALL men who want a place to share what is going on in their lives. It doesn't have to be something bad. Each group is a community of men who are there for the same reason - to talk and share.

Come and find out what we're about.

"If you're not expressing it, you're suppressing it."
โ €
Were you taught to hide you you feel? To smile when weโ€™re hurting? To stay strong and carry on? Me too.

But emotions donโ€™t disappear just because we ignore them, they go underground.
โ €
Suppressing emotions can look like anxiety, overthinking, feeling flat or low for no clear reason. These are all signs that your feelings need some time and attention.
โ €
๐Ÿ–Š๏ธ ๐—ง๐—ฟ๐˜† ๐˜๐—ต๐—ถ๐˜€: Take 5 minutes today to name how you feel. Write it, speak it, or share it with someone safe.

This feels a bit vulnerable to shareโ€ฆ
But I recently recorded an episode for the Strings to Your Bow podcast with Chloe Isabelle Weatherhead from Andiamo Business Services - itโ€™s now live on YouTube!

I spoke about rebuilding my self-worth after leaving a toxic relationship, how I turned my pain into a career that helps others heal, and what it means to build a business rooted in empathy, kindness, and authenticity.

We talked about how our defining moments shape usโ€”and how embracing our emotions can be one of the most powerful things we do.

Chloe summed it up so beautifully: โ€œImagine a world where we all understood the power of our feelings and treated them as the valuable messengers they are.โ€

Thatโ€™s the world Iโ€™m working towardโ€”one client, one conversation, one feeling at a time. Have a listen and let me know what resonated? Thank you so much for supporting me in this work โค๏ธ
