The Bio psycho social model was a breath of fresh air back in the 70s at a time when reductionist models hadn't even given thought to joining up all the dots
We now take the BPS model for granted but it interests me where it goes next and how it looks in the future ?
It's been interesting reading papers and people's thoughts on this and I'll post a few slides later in the week.

Reciprocal inhibition!!

Who knew working as a massage therapist for all this time would hone my skills helping to pave my way into other therapies.
I've put this post together to try and show we are all far more alike than we are different.
Whilst studying Hypnotherapy it really showed that from the initial consultation , treatment, and advice so many similarities kept popping up.
To all therapists upskilling or taking on new challenges, always look for the skills that overlap and make life easy for yourself.

When it comes to performance and well-being, the science backs it up. Visualization—or mental rehearsal—is a legitimate, research-backed technique used everywhere from elite sports to clinical therapy.

I was with a pal and fellow hypnotherapist today and he said to me, ‘Your posts are good, but what do you do?’ 😂

And he’s right. How do people know if you don’t tell them.

So, this is what I do.
Counselling, CBT and Hypnotherapy at £60 per session.

But David got me thinking, as he often does. I was seeing him for a massage and hypno for the tension I hold in my body from the work I do. And it made me realise this is what I do.
Beyond the job title and qualifications, I will get right in amongst it with clients, listening, supporting, providing tools and sometimes holding my own physical discomfort from the things we discuss. Because therapy isn’t meant to be comfortable, it will be challenging and upsetting, but it will also be enlightening and rewarding. And I’m here to walk alongside, step by step.

Thank you for reading and please feel free to get in touch.
