If you've cut out alcohol this month and suddenly your dreams are VIVID, intense, or you're remembering them for the first time in years—congratulations, your brain is healing.

Here's the fascinating science:

Alcohol suppresses REM sleep—the stage where we dream most vividly. Even just 2-3 drinks can reduce your REM sleep by up to 39% that night. When you drink regularly, your brain adapts to this reduced REM state.

**Then you stop drinking, and...**

Your brain experiences "REM rebound"—it floods back with all the dreaming it's been missing. This is why those first alcohol-free nights often bring incredibly vivid, sometimes intense dreams. Your subconscious mind has a backlog to process.

**Why this matters:**

REM sleep isn't just about dreaming—it's where your brain:
- Processes emotions and experiences
- Consolidates memories and learning
- Regulates mood
- Literally flushes out toxins through the glymphatic system
- Strengthens neural connections

Those vivid dreams? That's your brain doing essential maintenance work it hasn't been able to do properly.

**What to expect:**

Week 1-2: Intense, vivid dreams, possible sleep disruption
Week 3+: Dreams settle into a natural rhythm, sleep quality transforms

Your subconscious mind is remarkably intelligent. It knows exactly what it needs to process, and REM sleep is its workspace.

Trust the process. Your brain is remembering how to dream—and heal—naturally.

Have you noticed your dreams changing this month? 💭

🌍 Distance Is No Barrier to Transformation 🌍

Hi Debbie here, I just wanted to share something important with all of you: **Hypnotherapy works remotely just as effectively as in person.**

Whether you're in London, Los Angeles, Sydney, or anywhere else in the world, Solution Focused Hypnotherapy can help you achieve the positive changes you're looking for—from the comfort of your own home.

**Why remote sessions are so effective:**

The therapeutic relationship and your brain's ability to respond to hypnosis aren't dependent on physical proximity. Through video sessions, we can work together seamlessly, creating the same safe, relaxed environment that allows your mind to access its natural ability to heal and grow.

**The benefits of remote hypnotherapy:**

You can access support from anywhere, at any time that suits your schedule. No travel time means more convenience and flexibility. You can relax in your own comfortable, familiar space, which often enhances the therapeutic experience. And for my international clients, timezone differences are no obstacle—we can find a time that works for both of us.

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is a forward-thinking, evidence-based approach that focuses on solutions rather than problems, helping you build the future you want. And now, that support is truly global.

If you've been considering hypnotherapy but thought distance might be an issue, I'm here to tell you: it's not. Your transformation can begin anytime, anywhere.

This is why I do what I do.
There's nothing quite like witnessing someone rediscover themselves—watching exhaustion transform into energy, doubt turn into confidence, and feeling stuck give way to thriving.
"I was drained and exhausted... dreading what the next day would bring. I now feel empowered and energised. I am finding myself again."
"After just a few weeks my confidence grew and grew and now I'm a changed woman thriving in my new business and personal life."
Every client's journey reminds me that transformation is possible. Sometimes we just need the right space and support to unlock what's already within us.
If you're ready for change—let's talk.

# One Step at a Time 🌱

You don't need to have it all figured out today. You don't need to leap to where you want to be. You just need to take one small step forward.

And here's the beautiful thing about how Solution Focused Hypnotherapy works – it's built entirely around this idea.

Your brain is incredibly clever. Every tiny action you take, every small positive step, is literally rewiring your neural pathways. It's like creating a new trail through a forest – the more you walk it, the clearer and easier it becomes. That's not just feel-good talk, that's actual neuroscience happening in your brain.

And those small wins? They're not just nice moments – they're releasing dopamine, which is basically your brain's way of saying "yes, more of this please!" Each little step forward creates momentum for the next one.

What I love about Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is that instead of spending ages analyzing what's wrong, we focus on what's already working. We build on your strengths, the resources you already have (yes, you really do have them), and help your subconscious mind absorb positive suggestions while you're deeply relaxed. That's when the magic happens.

So the question isn't really "How do I get there?" It's more like "What's one small thing I can do today?"

Maybe it's taking three deep breaths when you feel overwhelmed. Maybe it's noticing one thing that went well. Maybe it's just imagining yourself one step closer to where you want to be. Or reaching out and asking for support.

Here's the thing about change – it's never a straight line. It's messy and non-linear and sometimes you take a step back. But it's also a series of small, totally achievable steps that somehow add up to genuine transformation.

You're already capable. You're already resourceful. You're already on your way, even if it doesn't always feel like it.

One step at a time, you will get there. 💙

*Solution Focused Hypnotherapy combines practical psychotherapy with the deeply relaxing state of hypnosis to help you move forward with confidence and calm.*
