Your mind can talk you into panic mode with just two little words:

What if?

What if it all goes wrong ?
What if I feel scared ?

Then your heart starts racing, you’re thinking of all the worst case scenarios that could happen. You’re in panic mode. You feel unsafe.

‘What if’ activates the mind’s internal alarm system to look for danger and threats rather than solutions.

But what if you could flip that switch ? Help your nervous system to feel safe. With two words… even if .

Even if it goes wrong, I’ll learn something from it.
Even if I feel scared, I’ll be ok.

You’re only changing one word but your mind hears it as safety rather than danger . It breaks the catastrophic thinking loop.

Simple yet effective . Give it go and notice the difference it makes.

Avoidance may provide immediate relief from anxiety or discomfort but it actually reinforces the fear. It’s a false safety . A false comfort. A false security. The problem still remains, it’s that we’re choosing to avoid it and over time usually gets bigger, more scary, more overwhelming.

Avoidance teaches your mind that you can’t handle situations so in time you start to feel weak, small, powerless.

By taking action, and it doesn’t always have to be big, you learn skills, you gain confidence and resilience. You teach your mind that you can’t handle situations handle things.

Sometimes the first step of that action is getting in touch with someone who can help you do that . I say to people who contact me is that asking for help is the bravest thing they can do. They’ve taken action, they’ve started the process of overcoming their fears and gaining confidence in themselves.

Taking action may feel a little scary now but makes tomorrow easier.

Love this diagram and one I often share with clients . In fact, there are many ‘iceberg’ models I share to show that what you see in others or what you experience in yourself, is just the tip of the iceberg. But there’s a deeper level to be explored.

You see, emotions rarely arrive in isolation. They swirl together in nuanced combinations…Joy tinged with guilt, anger laced with sadness and hurt, relief shadowed by grief or anxiety . These emotional blends reflect the layered nature of our experiences, shaped by memory and personal meaning.

In everyday life, mixed emotions often arise during transitions such as leaving a job, ending a relationship, starting something new. Excitement often coexists with fear or nostalgia with relief. When we suppress one side of the equation, we distort our reality.

When we embrace the whole mix of our emotions, we become more self-aware, more whole, more human and more capable of navigating life with understanding, empathy and compassion.

This is a model/metaphor I tell to many of my clients. Those with anxiety, panic attacks, IBS, insomnia, set on high alert and always feelings on edge, as though there’s danger everywhere.

These are symptoms rather than the cause. It’s the way the nervous system has learnt to deal with things. These symptoms often start whenever you have felt unsafe, sometimes just once, sometimes over a period of time.

Working on the root causes and emotions surrounding them, rather than just the effects/symptoms is essential for true healing. Making peace with the past leads to stillness and being able to be present in the moment. Enjoying life and thriving rather than surviving.

Not only do you lose the symptoms but the root causes also settle. A double result! Imagine what that would do for you!

Lovely way to end the week. So grateful when people take the time to leave a review.

I hope their stories resonate and give people hope that even though anxiety may be a huge part of life, things can change . And change in a more permanent way than other more traditional methods.

If you want to make a garden and grow flowers or vegetables, what do you do first ? Do you ignore all the weeds, all the rubbish and just plant things because you want instant change ?

Well you can do that but weeds grow as fast if not faster than plants . They choke the plants and sometimes those plants wither and die because they don’t have space, they can’t get the nutrients because the weeds have taken them.

So what do you do?

You weed the garden, digging those weeds out, roots and all. It makes no sense to plant a new garden on a bed of weeds.

It’s the same with the mind. Working together, we take out the weeds, those memories that still make you feel bad even though they happened a long time ago, those beliefs that hold you back from living and thriving.

When you’ve dug up those ‘weeds’ and cleared all the unnecessary ‘junk’ from your past , only then can you truly grow and thrive and live life to the full. From a neutral position. And you can make a fresh start.

It’s what I help people do every day!

So windy out yesterday. He was nervous, more than a little on high alert. Everything needed a closer inspection. Perhaps a monster lurked behind that tree or that bush!

I could so easily have become impatient, got cross with him, told him to get a grip. But that would have made things worse. He needed encouragement, being told he was ok and safe. He soon began to settle down.

It’s the same with us. We all have situations in life where we are a little, or perhaps very nervous or scared. So many people I work with, tell me they get so cross with themselves, tell themselves to not be so stupid, to get a grip. They tell themselves they’re useless and think of themselves badly as though in some way they are ‘less than’ for feeling that way.

The thing is, that kind of talk never works.

And they wouldn’t dream of talking to their friends or loved ones in that way. But somehow believe it’s ok to treat themselves like that. Maybe because that’s the way they were spoken to, or are still spoken to, by others.

It takes the same amount of effort to be kind to yourself, to be supportive, to be encouraging, to tell yourself that you’re ok. The same amount of effort but with a very different result.

One way makes you feel small, useless, anxious and disempowered. The other way helps you to feel supported, to feel confident, to feel safe.

A simple choice. Which will you choose? Which voice you will you listen to? The one that makes you feel worse or the one that makes you feel stronger?

I’m often asked to help people manage or cope with the symptoms of anxiety. To help them manage the awful waves of fear and feeling unsafe. To give them coping mechanisms. My answer may surprise you , but I say, no that’s not what I do.

Yes, I do teach deep breathing and other things to help soothe and calm the central nervous system but on their own they’re not enough .

Yes, they help in the moment, they soothe and distract and give enough relief to get through the next wave, yet the wave keeps coming back . You still feel unsafe at times, overthinking every decision, getting snappy and irritable, not sleeping and worrying, worrying, worrying.

See, managing and coping techniques only work at a surface level. It’s the roots that need sorting. It’s the roots where the nervous system is stuck in survival mode, all sorts of trauma signals your body never learnt to switch off, protective patterns your brain wired in, maybe years ago, to keep you safe.

Until that gets resolved, no amount of techniques, journaling, meditations etc will make it stop because anxiety isn’t just in your head, it’s in your cells, your chemistry, in the stories your body believes still to be true.

We work at a roots level, pulling them out so they can’t grow again, so you feel safe again, in your mind, in your body. So you’re not just managing or coping , you’re actually free of it. Imagine what that would do for you .

From feeling so anxious and not being able to go to work, to feeling calm and in control. Wow! Isn’t that great?

Anxiety is awful and exhausting. That racing heart, feeling of dread, stomach churning, sleeplessness, thoughts that won’t slow down that feel like they’re stuck on repeat …it can make you feel truly helpless, overwhelmed and struggling to leave the house. It can feel like there’s no way out, no hope,

But it can be changed. You can feel calm and in control again. It’s easier than you think . Give me a call and let’s chat about how I can help .

Be mindful of how social media and the 24/7 news cycle are shaping us.

We want to be informed but there’s a fine line, so easy to cross, where we are not just informed but we are being malformed.

We can get addicted to just scrolling, seeing what celebrities are up to or what the latest thing is that we then believe we will not be able to live without, that our lives will be so much better with, that we will be less than in some way if we don’t have it.

We can get addicted to outrage, about what’s going on in the world and all the algorithms show us the same kind of stuff and fuels that fire.

We can get addicted to devices, numbing ourselves, isolating ourselves rather than experiencing what’s going on around us and interacting with the people around us, who are here, right here, right now.

The media seems to thrive on division, on hatred, on who is against who. Life seems lighter when you ignore the negativity and focus on kindness, connection and unity. There is enough goodness and beauty around us if we choose to notice. Remember that peace comes from compassion and kindness and turmoil comes from chaos.

Step away. It’s more peaceful and calm when you do.
