🤯 Brain fog can feel like you’re swimming underwater, everything is a bit blurry, muffled, and just that little bit out of reach.
Today I managed, in the space of about five minutes, to lose my bank card… and then find it again. I literally have no recollection of taking it out of my purse or putting it on the conveyor. Then I got back in the car, started reversing… and heard a huge bang 💥
Luckily, a kind man was waiting for his wife to reverse out of a tight space and was simply warning me. I hadn’t hit him, or the car PHEW!!!
But still that shock goes right through you.
Now, if you're a woman dealing with anxiety or hormone-driven overwhelm, something like this could be enough to send you straight into a downward spiral:
“What’s wrong with me?”
“Why am I like this?”
“I can’t cope.”
I’ve had those days too.
🌿But today? I took a breath, reminded myself that my brain is under a lot of hormonal pressure, and chose the gentle option.
I decided it was probably safer to head home, grab the dogs and walk it off in the sunshine.
Fresh air, movement, calm. A reset.
This is the quiet power of Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy.
Not pretending everything’s fine… but learning how to spot when your nervous system is creeping into overwhelm before it takes over.
And giving yourself a soft way out, rather than spiralling into panic or self-criticism.
Shifting your thoughts before they drag you under.
And giving yourself practical tools to bring your nervous system back down again.
If brain fog, memory slips, or those “what am I doing?” moments are tipping you over the edge lately… you’re not losing it.
Your system is under pressure..
And you CAN feel calmer, clearer and more in control again.
✨️If this resonated, share it. Another woman may also need this today.
And if you want help finding your calm again, you know where I am. 🌿
