** Parental concerms re time online/social media **

Parents often express concerns about their teenagers' online presence due to potential risks like exposure to inappropriate content, cyberbullying, and privacy issues. Many parents also worry about the impact of social media on their child's mental health and well-being. However, it's crucial to strike a balance between monitoring and respecting their privacy to foster open communication and healthy online habits.

Common concerns...

* Parents worry that teenagers can encounter harmful content like po*******hy, violence, or hate speech online.
* Online bullying and harassment are significant concerns, with many parents worried about their children being both victims and perpetrators.
* Parents are concerned about teenagers sharing too much personal information online and the potential for it to be misused.
* Social media use has been linked to anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem in teenagers.
* Parents are concerned about the lasting impact of their child's online activity and the potential for it to affect future opportunities.
* I recommend parents regularly talk to their teenagers about their online experiences, what they're seeing, and how they're feeling.
* While it's important to monitor your teenager's online activity, do so in a way that respects their privacy and fosters trust.

If as a parent you have concerns about your child's online activity. You should contact CEOP.
CEOP stands for Child Exploitation and Online Protection. It is a UK law enforcement agency that focuses on protecting children from sexual abuse and exploitation, both online and offline. CEOP also provides resources and support for children, parents, and professionals to help them stay safe online.

As parents we need to think of the examples we set for our children. If parents are constantly on their devices. The children are likely to do the same.
Handing a young child your phone at the dinner table,
does disrupt family time, it also limits social interaction, and then can lead to unhealthy habits. Therefore parents are advised that phones should be kept away during meals to encourage conversation and a more positive association with mealtimes.

It's sad to see tables in restaurants when Mum, Dad and two siblings are all on their phones at the table and not one of them is in a conversation.

"The physical effects that Anxiety has on our bodies, are very much as real, as the effects it has on the way that we feel and the thoughts we have."

Don't... allow Anxiety to control YOU and your life!

Instead, start learning how YOU, can take back control.

In December 2021, I qualified as a Clinical Solution Focused Hypnotherapist & Psychotherapist. This has by far been something I'm so grateful I did, yes it wasn't easy, but nothing worth doing is.

In 2022 I persuaded Craig into purchasing a ex display log cabin, with no instructions. Craig wasn't over the moon at the idea, but humoured me all the same.

In the Summer of 2022 we laid the concrete foundations for the cabin. A few weeks after and we started to build this cabin, like a Jigsaw, with just a picture to go by.

2023 and 2024 we did odd jobs like painting the outside of the cabin, but due to other business commitments 'project therapy cabin' took a back seat.

February 2025 and Craig uncluttered the cabin of his catering equipment and started boarding the back wall.

March 2025 to date, Craig has worked tirelessly on my cabin; he's painted the inside, had electrics installed, wallpapered the back wall, laid the new flooring and sourced furniture.

It's safe to say we're nearly finished, just looking into upvc doors and windows.

Super excited to use this space.

Thanks to my hubby Craig, who always supports me in my adventures xx

This week is 'Child Exploitation Week' with tomorrow being 'National Child Exploitation Day'.

I feel this week is a great way to highlight the issues surrounding Child Exploitation; encouraging everyone to think, spot and speak out against abuse and adopt a zero tolerance to adults developing inappropriate relationships with children or children exploiting and abusing their peers.

Throughout this week I will be sharing information and videos to help everyone recognise 'Child Exploitation' in its many forms. Together, let's stand up and speak out about Child Exploitation.

Please... click 'follow' on my page and together let's share these posts and encourage others to join us in the fight against child exploitation.

No-one should suffer in silence, it doesn't help anyone, least of all yourself... tell you what, now that we're into the 3rd month of 2025. Let's make a commitment to ourselves, "no more suffering in silence to please others, it's times we accept, it's ok... to not be ok!"

If you're struggling, or you notice someone who is, be it a friend, family member or a colleague. Share this post with them, let them know, life can and will get better. Sometimes we just need to 'Rediscover' who we are? and what's important to us?

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy has a healing effect; most clients refer to it as therapeutic and incredibly relaxing, so much so they feel healthier and at peace in their thoughts and in life.

In my practice I work with clients to 'Rebalance' the pathways in their brain, such as managing their emotions, building their resilience, improving their overall mental health. Leading them to feel more empowered and living life more positively, with increased confidence and self-esteem.

Go on, share this post now, it may just be what someone struggling needs to read.

I have a suggestion, let's share this post far and wide. Let's see if 'Rediscover and Rebalance Hypnotherapy' can start a positive wave of kindness, let's take time to really notice others: say good morning to a stranger, hold a shop door open, compliment someone, give up your seat on a bus... let's start to make a difference.

Everyone, regardless of their ethnicity, religion, sexuality, job, experience and place in their life will experience difficult times.
Some, will seek help knowing that they are really struggling on their own, they may talk to friends or family, or see a therapist.
A few, will struggle on, into a very dark and isolated place, miserable, afraid and in a slump.

In these last few months of 2024 let's begin to notice people... be it a kind word, a thoughtful gesture, a friendly smile. We never know who is suffering or struggling in life, but if we can all make a conscious effort to be kind and courteous to others, we may just brighten someone's day, who was struggling.

Please take the time to follow this page and comment below, what your kind gesture was...

Everyone overthinks sometimes. But some people do it more frequently than others. Some of these individuals could have anxiety disorders, but not everyone does. "There are people who have levels of overthinking that are just pathological."

"Although the average person also just tends to overthink things." I myself have succumbed to the trap of overthinking. Determined to understand the problem, I decided to speak to psychologists and learn why we are prone to overthinking.

"It's fair to say as humans we often confuse overthinking with problem-solving." People who do not understand you may say... “Stop Anxiety from Stopping You.” This doesn't solve the problem though.

Overthinking is rooted in uncertainty. "Because we feel vulnerable about the future, we keep trying to solve problems in our head," “The Worry Trick: How our Brain Tricks us into expecting the worst and What we can do about it.”

Picture this: you've had a fight with your boss. You start to freak out and tune into the worry channel. Your thoughts go in a loop like this: What if he fires me? I was really hoping to buy a house this year. What if I don't get another job? What if this destroys my career? It can really take off.
Thank you for taking the time to read my posts. If you've questions great... ad them to the comments and I will answer them.

It's so exciting to finally see, Solution Focused Hypnotherapy finally being recognised, as the successful clinical therapy that it is.

Colleagues of mine from CPHT School of Hypnotherapy, were involved in this research... to establish the effectiveness of Solution Focused Hypnotherapy in a UK police force. The results have now been published, so read it for yourself.

Understanding how online solution-focused hypnotherapy can support the wellbeing of police personnel and treat symptoms of anxiety, stress and depression. The Police Journal: Theory, Practice and Principles, Vol )(0) 1-14.

This is the first published work in a peer-reviewed journal on Solution Focused Hypnotherapy. To be the first in the industry is so important and for us all too, and most importantly, it highlights the remarkable insight of David Newton when he developed SFH back in the 1990s. I am very much looking forward to sharing this with him.

Due to permissions restrictions of the publisher, we are unable to send you a full PDF version of the paper, but if you want to catch sight of the abstract in print then you can find it here...
