Happy New Year to all my wonderful clients and followers.

I hate the ‘May it be the best year yet’ or ‘you deserve a fabulous year’, type of messages. I get the sentiments behind it and it’s ok to want those things, but better to graciously accept the good wishes and hold the expectations lightly because those expectations are unrealistic and give so much pressure.

Does the person who has been given a cancer diagnosis not deserve a good year? Does a family who has experienced a loss not deserve a good year or their best year yet? Of course not.

For all of us, we will experience many emotions throughout the year, some undoubtedly easier than others. There will be times we hope will last forever and times that can’t end soon enough. Times of sadness and joy, excitement and apprehension, frustration and peace, heartbreak and healing. All of them. Not because we deserve them but purely and simply because we are human and experiencing them all makes us more whole, make us who we truly are, makes us more real.

As hard as they are to experience, it’s the challenging times that help us appreciate the good times and if you’re going through challenging times now, hold onto the words ‘this too shall pass’.

As one year ends and another begins, pause for a moment a reflect on the challenging times, appreciating that you got through, you survived. Remember the good times, the amazing moments, the times you laughed, the times your heart was full. Relive those moments again and again.

Take all those moments, that love, that courage, that joy, that laughter, that resilience into the year ahead. Remind yourself of all you have learnt and how amazing you are.

A happy new year is a lovely thought and sentiment. I truly hope and wish you have more times of happiness than other times.

Go well.

Wishing all my clients, past and present, a very Merry Christmas. 🎄

You are all amazing and the bravest people I know. You are survivors.

Thank you to everyone who likes, shares and comments on my posts and those of you who pass on my details to friends, colleagues and family members who are struggling and who have often lost hope that things can change for them. Your kindness and support is invaluable.

Wishing you all a wonderful time and I hope each and every one of you finds a moment amongst the business, to smile, to laugh and to find many moments of joy.

To end the year feeling positive about your life and to have hope for the future…how wonderful is that? The biggest Christmas gift you can give to yourself is to invest in your own wellbeing.

This is one of my favourite Christmas films. Although made in 1946, its themes still resonate almost 80 years later.

It’s about a character called George Bailey, who after a series of unfortunate events, finds himself wishing he’d never been born. An Angel is sent to earth to show him what life would have been like had his wish had been true. He is shown how things he did had such a profound impact on people and his community around him.

I work with so many people who have had similar thoughts of wishing they’d never been born. People who have no confidence and feel useless, people who don’t feel good enough. Life experiences have knocked them and people have said or done things to make them feel that way . But it’s not the truth .

We have no idea sometimes of the positive impact we have had on people around us. That smile or hello to a stranger that may have brightened their day. A kind word or a thank you to a colleague. We don’t tend to share how someone has made us feel, how we have valued that smile, that conversation, that support …but perhaps we should. These things are often said at funerals but imagine if they were shared whilst the person was alive.

Maybe start a new Christmas tradition, of telling a family member, a friend, a colleague, a neighbour about something they did which you appreciated, spreading the Christmas spirit and maybe continue it throughout the year, and maybe if we all did our part we could make the world a little kinder.

This is a model I often show to my clients to explain how past hurts and experiences merge with present hurts and experiences and then influence future experiences and cause anxiety .

You are rarely dealing with the present moment in isolation.

You may get triggered when you are not listened to because this reminds you of times when you weren’t listened to or had a voice growing up. You may hear an angry voice which then makes you feel unsafe because you remember when that happened before, you may see a dog and freeze because you remember being barked at or bitten. Often this happens in a nano second, not a conscious thought but an unconscious reaction.

The current moment can feel overwhelming. Because you’re reacting to both now and then. The body and mind are both saying, hey this feels familiar and scary because it’s remembering.

We work through those experiences together, so your mind and body feel safe now, in this moment . Rather than being triggered and reacting you can respond to a situation, without the baggage, without the past .

The present moment…feeling safe and feeling calm. Imagine what that would do for you.

From tearful, highly anxious and a terrible feeling of dread before flying to calm and relaxed and being able to fly for work or for pleasure!

It takes courage to say you’re frightened and need help but look what happens once you do!

So proud of this person for overcoming their fears. I work with the best people, I really do.

So grateful they shared this with me and it was a fab start to my working week. (Shared with permission)

Some people get stuck in overthinking thought loops for hours whilst others don’t. The difference isn’t strength of willpower, it’s what their brain has learned to do with uncertainty.

Uncertainty isn’t the brain’s favourite state. When your central nervous system doesn’t feel safe, not knowing feels threatening. It tries to resolve the unknown by going through every possibility again and again.

It’s not that something is wrong, it’s the brain’s default safety behaviour. When it can’t predict, it loops through thoughts to create a sense of control.

It tries to fix by thinking harder. That’s how worry and rumination start. It’s the brains way of trying to protect you. The more this happens, the more your brain learns that overthinking keeps you safe. A pattern is established and even tiny uncertainties can create hours of worry.

Working together, we can change all that. You weren’t born this way, it’s something your brain learnt how to do, a while back when you felt unsafe . Part of you still feels that way and so the pattern continues. When you feel safe again in the present, that pattern has no need to continue . So it stops. Sounds simple and it really is. It learns to do things in a better way.

Imagine what that would do for you . Give me a call and let’s chat about how I can help .

With Christmas fast approaching, there can feel a pressure to be ‘merry’, to smile, to say how much you love Christmas, to pretend you always have the perfect Disney Christmas.

Yet grief, sadness, anxiety, low mood do not take the Christmas period off. They do not soften their edges because the calendar says it’s time to be happy.

Instead, these feelings can be heightened because the world around you appears to be celebrating when perhaps you do not feel like that.

For some people it may be the first Christmas without a loved one, for some, Christmas brings back painful memories, others are estranged from family and friends maybe because of their choosing and more often as a result of someone else’s choices. For some, Christmas amplifies feelings of loneliness. Perhaps they are on their own or they may have a houseful of people and feel lonelier than ever.

If this is you, be gentle with yourself. There is no right way to navigate this time, only your way, one breath, one hour, one day at a time. Breathe through it and with each exhale imagine releasing a little of that emotional weight and with each inhale imagine peace.

Be compassionate to yourself. It’s ok to feel as you do. It’s ok to cry. Treat yourself with kindness. Know you are not alone. Many find it hard. Do what you need most whether that’s resting, healing or just getting through. And in choosing what’s right for you, you can begin to reclaim a sense of safety, light, comfort and hope.

What a lovely end to the week.

So proud of everyone I work with. The bravest thing is to ask for help and look what happens once you do! Often when people get in touch they feel broken. They’re not. Experiences through life and sometimes other people have made them feel that way. Working together, we get you back to the you, you were before that, the you that’s really you, the true you. As the review says, it’s life changing.

Imagine that! What would that do for you?

It starts with that first step which is to get in touch and let’s chat about how I can help.

The connection between emotions and the physical body is huge! It never ceases to amaze me how when our association with the past, (negative experiences and feelings) is changed, how this has such a profound effect on the physical body.

Unexpressed emotions have to go somewhere and often they get ‘stuck’ in the physical body. We can often held stress in the shoulders and jaw and restless nights are more frequent than we would prefer. Grief can show up as heaviness in the chest and fatigue. Fear and anxiety can show up as digestive issues such as IBS. Anger can cause constipation and headaches. When we have been unable to say something and not have a voice, this can manifest as throat issues, coughing and a voice you can barely hear. Childhood trauma can be at the root of fibromyalgia…the list is endless.

The central nervous system translates all these suppressed emotions into physical signals. It’s doing its best to remind you that ignoring or burying emotions doesn’t remove them, it just reroutes them until you are forced to take notice.

The good thing is, when we acknowledge, process and deal with these emotions, the physical symptoms diminish or go. The body and mind return to balance. I see it everyday in my work. Give me a call and let’s chat about how I can help.

Fear narrows your focus. It goes inwards. All you see is danger and you get stuck in a loop of ever increasing negative thoughts, memories and predictions and catastrophes.

But when you shift attention outward, the mind enters the present moment where the threat doesn’t exist. When you widen sensory awareness, the mind switches from danger mode and survival to regulation and calm.

This is what to do:
Stand with both feet flat on the ground.
Drop the shoulders
Look at 3 objects around you. Look slowly noticing colour, texture, size. Really observe.

Vision and that awareness tells the mind : no threat, you’re safe . The central nervous system starts to reset because it’s receiving a signal of safety.

Give it a go and notice how quickly it works .

Even better, work with me to prevent this happening in the first place but in the meantime, it’s a quick ‘go to’ to help.
